The main objective of the present study was to apply QbD methodology in the development of once-a-day sustained release quetiapine tablets. The quality target product profile (QTPP) was defined after the pharmaceutical properties and kinetic release of the innovator product, Seroquel XR 200 mg. For the D-optimal experimental design, the level and ratio of matrix forming agents and the type of e...

Graft remodeling following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction requires a long period of recovery in which vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role. The short half-life of exogenous VEGF, however, restricts its use. The aim of this study was to investigate sodium hyaluronate (SH) as a delivery system for VEGF in graft revascularization. Non-cumulative releas...

a sustained-release tablet formulation should ideally have a proper release profile insensitive to moderate changes in tablet hardness that is usually encountered in manufacturing. in this study, matrix aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) tablets with ethylcellulose (ec), eudragit rs100 (rs), and eudragit s100 (s) were prepared by direct compression. the release behaviors were then studied in two co...

in the present investigation an attempt has been made to increase therapeutic efficacy, to reduce frequency of administration and to improve patient compliance by developing a sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate. sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate were developed by using different drug: polymer ratios, such in f1 (1:0.75), f2 (1:1), f3 (1:1.5),...

hard gelatin capsule filled with acetaminophen, osmotic agent (sorbitol), a release promoter (sodium dodecyl sulfate), coated with a semipermeable cellulose acetate membrane containing a hydrophobic plasticizer (castor oil) and sealed with white bees wax plug was designed. when placed in the sink water penetrates the membrane, dissolves the osmotic agent and increases the osmotic pressure insid...

Considering Rao et al. (2004) and Di Crescenzo and Longobardi (2009) studies, Misagh et al. (2011) proposed a weighted information which is based on the cumulative entropy called Weighted Cumulative Entropy (WCE). The above-mentioned model is a Shiftdependent Uncertainty Measure. In this paper, we examine some of the properties of WCE and obtain some bounds for that. In order to ...
