Preparation and in vitro evaluation of hot-melt extruded pectin-based pellets containing ketoprofen for colon targeting

This work developed high drug-load pellets for colon targeting in minimal steps by coupling hot-melt extrusion (HME) with a die-surface cutting pelletizer, offering a potential continuous pellet manufacturing process. Ketoprofen (KTP) was selected as a model drug for this study due to its thermal st...
