Microspheres formulated from poly (D,L-lactic-co-glycolide) (PLGA), a biodegradable polymer, have been extensively evaluated as a drug delivery system. In this study, the preparation, characterization and drug release properties of the PLGA microspheres were evaluated. Simvastatin (SIM)-loaded PLGA microspheres were prepared by oil-in-water emulsion/solvent evaporation method. The microspheres ...

Drug carrier biocompatible and biodegradable nanoparticles of about 15 nm were prepared by solvent evaporation technique from star-shaped poly(D,L-lactide) synthesized using dipentaerythritol as core and Tin (II) ethylhexanoate as catalyst.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of various formulation parameters on anti-CD205 antibody decorated poly(d, l-lactide co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) in terms of their ability to target dendritic cells (DCs). In brief, emulsification solvent evaporation technique was adapted to design NP formulations using two different viscosity grades (low and high) of both ester an...

Microspheres ketoprofen (KP) were prepared by o/w emulsion solvent evaporation technique using EudragitRS100 as a polymeric material. The effect of process variables such as drug: polymer ratio, stirring rate, emulsifier concentration, internal organic solvent and dispersing medium volumes were examined. The prepared formulations were characterized for particle size distribution, percent yield,...

A novel method for the fabrication of monodisperse mesoporous silica particles is suggested. It is based on the formation of well-defined equally sized emulsion droplets using a microfluidic approach. The droplets contain the silica precursor/surfactant solution and are suspended in hexadecane as the continuous oil phase. The solvent is then expelled from the droplets, leading to concentration ...

UNLABELLED Betahistine dihydrochloride is a histamine-like drug widely used in relieving the symptoms associated with Ménière's syndrome. Pharmacokinetic studies of betahistine have demonstrated that it has a short plasma half-life of 3-4 hours. In such cases frequent administration of the drug is required in order to keep plasma concentration within the therapeutic range. However, this may lea...

Many oil seeds contain the necessary fatty acids i.e polyunsaturated (PUFAs) like omega-3 and omega-6. These PUFAs are oxidation-prone. Before being applied to or added as a value food products, need be protected, hence this is accomplished by microencapsulation. This review provides comprehensive overview of different types PUFA rich their benefits in human health. Health benefit pufa include ...

The protective effect of olive mill pomace (OMP) loaded ethylcellulose microparticles as an alternative to synthetic antioxidants against the oxidation oils was assessed. OMP extract obtained by optimized two-step solid-liquid extraction; encapsulation performed double emulsion solvent evaporation technique considering a theoretical loading content in phenolic compounds 5% (w/w). changes peroxi...
