The use of lipids in the composition of polymeric-based films for topical administration of bioactive ingredients is a recent research topic; while few products are commercially available, films containing lipids represent a strategic area for the development of new products. Some lipids are usually used in polymeric-based film formulations due to their plasticizing action, with a view to improving the mechanic...
5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), the active moiety of sulphasalazine, is the most commonly used drug for treating patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Its bioavailability is low, i.e. 20--30\% upon oral administration and 10--35\\% by rectal administration. As the extent of 5-ASA absorption is very much dependent on the time-length, the drug is retained in the colon, a way to increase drug retention is...
