Solid microemulsion preconcentrates on pH responsive metal-organic framework for tableting

Congratulations to Lena Scheller & team. She developed a powder-form microemulsion adsorbed to a metalloorganic framework (MOF). Once the powder reaches the stomach, the MOF disintegrates, releasing the adsorbed molecules that readily form a microemulsion. The concept might be an interesting oral delivery form for poorly water-soluble drugs. A patent is pending, the article has been published in the European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics (EJPB).
