Denatured Whey Protein Powder as a New Matrix Excipient: Design and Evaluation of Mucoadhesive Tablets for Sustained Drug Release Applications
Purpose
In earlier study, we proposed denatured whey protein (DWP) powder obtained by atomization as a new excipient to promote oral drug delivery. In this work, we evaluate the possibility to formulate tablets based on DWP powders and to characterize their role as a matrix mucoadhesive excipient.
