The Efficacy of Cholesterol-Based Carriers in Drug Delivery

Development and evaluation of bio-nanoparticles as novel drug carriers for the delivery of Donepezil

The purpose of the present study was to formulate and evaluate donepezil loaded bio-nanoparticles for effective treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. For the preparation of bio-nanoparticles biomaterial was isolated from fruits of Carica papaya by an economic method. The biomaterial recovered from the concentrate was subjected for various physicochemical properties like color, solubility, ...

Design and Evaluation of Chitosan Nanoparticles as Novel Drug Carriers for the Delivery of Donepezil

       The present study deals with the formulation and evaluation of chitosan nanoparticles containing donepezil hydrochloride for the targeted delivery to the brain. Nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation method using sodium tripolyphos-phate (TPP) as a cross linking agent followed by sonication. Nanoparticles were obtained in the average size ranging from 116.8 to 227.5 nm. Particle m...

Multiparticulate Carriers for Controlled Oral Drug Delivery

Transdermal Drug Delivery through Carriers: Transfersomes

Delivery of drug through Transdermal route represents a most convenient and novel approach. Transfersomes were found to be more effective as they render controlled release of drug due to depot formation in skin and were more effective in transdermal delivery. Transfersomes are applied to the skin and permeate through the stratum corneum lipid lamellar regions as a result of the hydration and os...
