Zeolite X with potassium diformate as a sustained-release antibacterial agent

Poisoning with sustained release potassium.

Surface modified natural zeolite as a carrier for sustained diclofenac release: A preliminary feasibility study.

In view of zeolite potentiality as a carrier for sustained drug release, a clinoptilolite-rich rock from California (CLI_CA) was superficially modified with cetylpyridinium chloride and loaded with diclofenac sodium (DS). The obtained surface modified natural zeolites (SMNZ) were characterized by confocal scanning laser microscopy (CLSM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRPD) and laser light scatteri...

Potassium Diformate : a New Alternative to Antibiotic Growth Promoters

Potassium diformate (Formi) is odorless, low-corrosive and easy to handle. The European Union (EU) has approved it as non-antibiotic growth promoter, for use in non ruminant feeds. Maximum inclusion level of potassium diformate is 1.8% as registered by the European authorities which can improve weight gain up to 14%. Potassium diformate contains the active ingredients free formic acid as well a...

Cyclodextrins as Sustained-Release Carriers

cyclodextrins (CDs) is a practical and economical way to improve the physicochemical and pharmaceutical properties of administered drug molecules. CDs can improve properties such as solubility, stability, and bioavailability of various drugs, thereby potentially serving as novel drug carriers. In addition, the hydrophobic and ionizable derivatives of CDs are being tested for use in the preparat...

Sustained Release of Antibacterial Agents from Doped Halloysite Nanotubes

The use of nanomaterials for improving drug delivery methods has been shown to be advantageous technically and viable economically. This study employed the use of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) as nanocontainers, as well as enhancers of structural integrity in electrospun poly-e-caprolactone (PCL) scaffolds. HNTs were loaded with amoxicillin, Brilliant Green, chlorhexidine, doxycycline, gentamicin...
