A2 - PB - Y1 - 2017 LA - eng AB - The purpose of this study was to evaluate electrospun drug loaded nanofibers as a new matrix for mini tablets. Prednisone, a poorly water-soluble drug, was loaded into povidone (polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVP) nanofibers using the process of electrospinning. The drug-loaded nanofiber mat was compressed into minitablets with a 2 mm diameter and a height of 2.63 0.04 mm. SEM analysis of the minitablet identified a nano-web structure with a nanofiber diameter in the range of 400-500 nm. The minitablets ...
