in this work we synthesized nano hydroxyapatite (hap)  by sol-gel method, then we functionalized hydroxyapatite nanoparticle by use of  3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (aptms) , to improve the loading and control release of sulfasalazine drug bonded to aptms. the drug release patterns from sulfasalazine loaded hap nanoparticles at ph value 8 for 6h, sulfasalazine loaded functionalized hap nanopa...

microparticles offer various significant advantages as drug delivery systems, including: (i) an effective protection of the encapsulated active agent against (e.g. enzymatic) degradation, (ii) the possibility to accurately control the release rate of the incorporated drug over periods of hours to months, (iii) an easy administration (compared to alternative parenteral controlled release dosage ...

the objective of present research was to design, evaluate and compare drug release from two different dosage forms in pulsatile drug delivery system (dds) for metoprolol tartarate (mt) as tablet and capsule. pulsatile systems are gaining a lot of interest as they deliver the drug at the right site of action at the right time and in the right amount, thus providing spatial and temporal delivery ...

to improve drug selectivity toward target cells, one interesting approach for drug delivery is to use polymer nanoparticles. a two-layered oniom becke3- lyp: uff calculation was carried out to study the structural and thermodynamic properties of the interaction between acetamide derivatives and the pca-peg-pca copolymers. the interaction enthalpies and the gibbs free energies between acetamide ...

Elastic liposomes (EL) are some of the most versatile deformable vesicular carriers that comprise physiologically biocompatible lipids and surfactants for the delivery of numerous challenging molecules and have marked advantages over other colloidal systems. They have been investigated for a wide range of applications in pharmaceutical technology through topical, transdermal, nasal, and oral ro...

Recently, the development of effective strategies for enhancing drug delivery to the brain has been a topic of great interest in both clinical and pharmaceutical fields. In this review, we summarize our studies evaluating nose-to-brain delivery of drugs and small interfering ribonucleic acids in combination with cell-penetrating peptide-modified polymer micelles. Our findings show that the use ...
