This is a wonderful example of how something known (voriconazole-CD formulation) could be turned into something innovative. Researchers from Chulalongkorn University and Iceland University developed voriconazole eyedrops which shows high mucoadhesion, sustained release, good ex vivo permeability through the porcine cornea, and no sign of irritation. The stability study revealed that VCZ eye drops provide a shelf-life of more than 2.5 years at room temperature, while a shelf-life of only 3.5 months was observed for the extemporaneous Vfend® eye drops.
