Novel Use of Manganese Gluconate as a Marker for Visualization of Tablet Dissolution in the Fed Human Stomach Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (2024)
Journal Article
Akbar, T., Gershkovich, P., Stamatopoulos, K., Gowland, P., Stolnik, S., Butler, J., & Marciani, L. (2025). Novel Use of Manganese Gluconate as a Marker for Visualization of Tablet Dissolution in the Fed Human Stomach Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Molecular Pharmaceutics, 22(1), 594-598. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.4c00854

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of dry or solid materials in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract requires the use of contrast agents to enhance visualisation of the dosage forms. In this study, we explore the novel use of manganese gluconate added to ta...

Use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Visualization of Oral Dosage Forms in the Human Stomach: A Scoping Review (2024)
Journal Article
Akbar, T., Gershkovich, P., Stamatopoulos, K., Gowland, P. A., Stolnik, S., Butler, J., & Marciani, L. (2024). Use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Visualization of Oral Dosage Forms in the Human Stomach: A Scoping Review. Molecular Pharmaceutics, 21(4), 1553-1562. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.3c01123

Oral dosage forms are the most widely and frequently used formulations to deliver active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), due to their ease of administration and noninvasiveness. Knowledge of intragastric release rates and gastric mixing is crucial...

Application of In Vivo MRI Imaging to Track a Coated Capsule and Its Disintegration in the Gastrointestinal Tract in Human Volunteers (2022)
Journal Article
Sulaiman, S., Gershkovich, P., Hoad, C. L., Calladine, M., Spiller, R. C., Stolnik, S., & Marciani, L. (2022). Application of In Vivo MRI Imaging to Track a Coated Capsule and Its Disintegration in the Gastrointestinal Tract in Human Volunteers. Pharmaceutics, 14(2), Article 270. https://doi.org/10.3390/pharmaceutics14020270

Oral specially coated formulations have the potential to improve treatment outcomes of a range of diseases in distal intestinal tract whilst limiting systemic drug absorption and adverse effects. Their development is challenging, partly because of li...

Assessing lymphatic uptake of lipids using magnetic resonance imaging: A feasibility study in healthy human volunteers with potential application for tracking lymph node delivery of drugs and formulation excipients (2021)
Journal Article
Jewell, A., Williams, H., Hoad, C. L., Gellert, P. R., Ashford, M. B., Butler, J., Stolnik, S., Scurr, D., Stocks, M. J., Marciani, L., Gowland, P. A., & Gershkovich, P. (2021). Assessing lymphatic uptake of lipids using magnetic resonance imaging: A feasibility study in healthy human volunteers with potential application for tracking lymph node delivery of drugs and formulation excipients. Pharmaceutics, 13(9), Article 1343. https://doi.org/10.3390/pharmaceutics13091343

Dietary lipids and some pharmaceutical lipid excipients can facilitate the targeted delivery of drugs to the intestinal lymphatics. Here, the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for imaging lipid uptake into the intestinal lymphatics was...
