Dual-action topical formulations for enhanced skin penetration and targeted dermal repair
Background
Dermatological and cosmetic treatments increasingly focus on targeted delivery of active compounds to the deeper skin layers to combat photoaging, oxidative damage, and carcinogenesis. However, the stratum corneum presents a formidable barrier to percutaneous absorption, limiting the efficacy of topically applied actives. Conventional...

High-dose dry powder inhaler for dual pulmonary and oral indomethacin delivery
Background
Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) offer a non-invasive and rapid route for drug delivery, particularly for medications requiring swift systemic action. This is especially relevant for poorly soluble drugs such as indomethacin, where oral administration is often limited by gastrointestinal degradation and adverse side effects. For indications...

Multilayered drug delivery implants for localized brain tumor therapy
Background
As treatment strategies evolve for brain tumors, especially post-surgical resection, localized therapy is emerging as a promising alternative to systemic drug delivery. The blood-brain barrier, along with the sensitive anatomy of the brain, makes it difficult to achieve effective therapeutic concentrations using traditional methods without...

Covalent ERK inhibitors for suppressing cancer
BI-78D3, a small molecule, covalently binds to ERK1/2’s D-recruitment site, disrupting ERK signaling crucial for cancer cell growth. This shows promise for treating ERK-dependent cancers, including those resistant to BRAF inhibitors.
This disrupts ERK signaling crucial for cell proliferation and survival, particularly in certain cancers like...
