Pinky Gupta Earns Ph.D. from BN University for Research on “Fenofibrate Floating In-Situ Gel: Formulation and Evaluation”
Udaipur, December 31: Pinky Gupta has been awarded a Ph.D. by BN University, Udaipur, for her groundbreaking research titled “Fenofibrate Floating In-Situ Gel: Formulation and Evaluation.” Conducted under the guidance of Dr. Kamal Singh Rathore, her work focuses on the development of a novel floating in-situ gel formulation for Fenofibrate, a widely used antilipemic agent.
The study aimed to enhance the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of Fenofibrate by designing a sustained-release dosage form capable of floating on gastric fluids and releasing the drug in a controlled manner. Pinky formulated and evaluated multiple floating in-situ gel formulations using various polymers, solvents, and additives.
Significant Findings
Her optimized formulation demonstrated superior physicochemical properties, in-vitro drug release, and in-vivo pharmacokinetic performance. The results revealed a significant improvement in Fenofibrate’s bioavailability and therapeutic efficiency, showcasing the potential of floating in-situ gel formulations as a promising drug delivery system for hyperlipidemia treatment.
Expert Endorsements
Commending her work, Dr. Kamal Singh Rathore said, “Pinky’s research is a notable contribution to pharmaceutical science. Her dedication and determination have led to the development of an innovative formulation that holds great promise for improving the treatment of hyperlipidemia patients.”
