Chemotherapeutic potential of alginate-chitosan microspheres as anti-tubercular drug carriers.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to develop alginate-chitosan microspheres as drug carriers to reduce dose/dosing frequency in the management of tuberculosis (TB), which otherwise demands prolonged chemotherapy. METHODS Alginate-chitosan microspheres encapsulating three frontline anti-tuberculous drugs (ATDs), rifampicin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide, were formulated. A therapeutic dose and a...

متن کاملAlkaloids as potential anti-tubercular agents.
An increasing incidence of deaths due to tuberculosis and the known drawbacks of the current existing drugs including the emergence of multi drug-resistant strains have led to a renewed interest in the discovery of new anti-tubercular agents with novel modes of actions. The recent researches focused on natural products have shown a useful way to obtain a potentially rich source of drug candidat...
متن کاملPreparation and properties of polyhydroxybutyrate microspheres as drug carriers
Designing of controlled-release drug delivery systems is a promising and rapidly developing line of pharmacology. The main advantage of using drug delivery systems is that drug concentration in a patient’s blood and/or tissues can be maintained at a target level for an extended time (Kost 2001). The principal requirement for fabricating prolonged-action controlled-release drug delivery systems ...
