Abstract:

Hydroxypropyl starch was synthesized by modified sago starch with hydroxypropylation reaction. Hydroxypropyl starch nanoparticles with mean particle sizes of 110 nm are obtained by controlled precipitation through the drop-wise addition of dissolved hydroxypropyl starch solution into excess absolute ethanol. Piperine was loaded onto hydroxypropyl starch nanoparticles and native starch nanoparticles via the in-situ nanoprecipitation process. Hydroxypropyl starch nanoparticles exhibited higher piperine loading capacity as compared to native starch nanoparticles with the maximum loading capacity of 0.46 and 0.33 mg.mg-1, respectively. Piperine was release from hydroxypropyl starch nanoparticles in a slow and sustained manner at pH 1.2 over the period of 24 hours. Whereas piperine was completely released from native starch nanoparticles within 16 hours.

In Vitro Studies of Controlled Release Alfuzosin Matrix Tablets Prepared with Ethylcellulose and Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose

      Extended release formulation of alfuzosin, an a-antagonist used for prostatic hypertrophy, is available in market. It is convenient for older patients to take only one tablet a day. Marketed alfuzosin formulation is three layered geomatrix tablet that requires special facilities, high cost, more time and complex operation than normal direct compression formulation. Therefore, a less compl...

Albumin-based nanoparticles as potential controlled release drug delivery systems.

Albumin, a versatile protein carrier for drug delivery, has been shown to be nontoxic, non-immunogenic, biocompatible and biodegradable. Therefore, it is ideal material to fabricate nanoparticles for drug delivery. Albumin nanoparticles have gained considerable attention owing to their high binding capacity of various drugs and being well tolerated without any serious side-effects. The current ...

Hydrogel Nanoparticles with Thermally Controlled Drug Release

Improving the therapeutic efficacy and reducing systemic side effects of drugs is an important aspect in chemotherapy. The strategy presented here is the use of cisplatin loaded, temperature-sensitive, hydrogel nanoparticles (CisPt-NPs) and their ability to deliver and release chemodrugs selectively, based on thermal stimuli. The specially synthesized CisPt-NPs show a temperature-dependent incr...

Preparation and characterization of a novel starch-based interpolyelectrolyte complex as matrix for controlled drug release.

A novel cationized starch-based interpolyelectrolyte complex (IPEC) was formed using kappa-carrageenan as the counter polyion. Characterization of the product by turbidity measurements and elemental analyses indicated a 1:1 interaction of the repeating units. FT-IR spectra for the IPEC showed some differences in comparison with either IPEC constituents or physical mixture. The swelling of table...

Formulation and Evaluation of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose-based Controlled Release Matrix Tablets for Theophylline

The objectives of the study were to formulate hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose-based controlled release matrix tablets for theophylline with varying drug:polymer ratios (1:1 and 1:2) and differing tablet hardness (5, 6 and 7 kg/cm(2)), and to evaluate the tablet's physico-chemical properties such as hardness, uniformity of weight, friability, drug content and in vitro drug release. Initially, gra...
