Formulation and In Vitro Evaluation of Acyclovir Mucoadhesive Microspheres for Intravaginal Application
The purpose of the research was to formulate microspheres of acyclovir (ACV) using mucoadhesive polymers, sodium alginate and chitosan. Calcium chloride was used as the ionotropic gelling agent. Sodium alginate was crosslinked by calcium chloride leading to a slower release of the drug. Chitosan which is a cationic polymer interacted with sodium alginate, an anionic polymer, to form an interpol...
متن کاملImproving the Growth Rate of Human Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Alginate/Gelatin Versus Alginate Hydrogels
Background: Expansion and differentiation of stem cells relies on the soluble materials as well as the physical conditions of their microenvironment. Several methods have been studied in attempt to enhance the growth and differentiation rates of different adult stem cells extracted from different sources. Objectives: The purpose was to improve the three-dimensional (3D) culture condition of th...
متن کاملExtraction, Identification and Thermal Stability of Anthocyanins from Eggplant Peel as a Natural Colorant
In the present study, various mixtures of aqueous ethanol and acetone solutions were utilized to extract anthocyanins from eggplant peel by a discontinuous process to obtain a natural red-purple colorant. First, the most appropriate combination for extraction solvent was selected as ethanol 70 wt in water acidified with acetic acid 3 wt, which was determined by analysis of extraction yields and...
متن کاملChitosan-coated alginate microcapsules loaded with galactagogue herbs extract: formulation optimization and characterization
Many herbs and spices have been recommended traditionally as galactagogues and several commercial formulations prepared using herbs. Due to the presence of various compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids, isoflavones and terpenes, bitter and stringent taste is elicited that make the consumption of these herbal preparations unpleasant. Moreover, these compounds are unstable when exposed to env...
متن کاملImproving the Stability of Astaxanthin by Microencapsulation in Calcium Alginate Beads
There has been considerable interest in the biological functions of astaxanthin and its potential applications in the nutraceutical, cosmetics, food, and feed industries in recent years. However, the unstable structure of astaxanthin considerably limits its application. Therefore, this study reports the encapsulation of astaxanthin in calcium alginate beads using the extrusion method to improve...
