Microspheres containing indinavir sulfate were prepared by the emulsion solvent evaporation technique using surfactant sorbitan monooleate 80. The evaluation reports for Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction taken to see whether altered physicochemical features of produced microspheres. Scanning electron microscopy was used observe surface topography When 80 employed at ...

this experiment was conducted for evaluating the humoral immune responses induced by poly lactide-co-glycolide acid (plga) microspheres coupled inactivated newcastle disease virus (ndv) vaccine in comparison to an ‘in-house’ prepared inactivated and a live commercial vaccine. plg microparticles containing inactivated ndv were prepared by a double emulsion technique based on solvent evaporation ...

Solvent extraction/evaporation, solvent diffusion/evaporation or any modification in the basic principle of the emulsification technique produces the drug loaded sustained release micro or nanoparticles of desired properties. For understanding the basic principles of these techniques, it is essential for the development of desired objectives. Emulsification is the only step where we can disrupt...

The cause of initial burst release of hydrophilic macromolecular drugs from biodegradable polymeric microspheres was identified. Poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) microspheres encapsulating fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labled dextran was prepared by a double emulsion solvent evaporation method. The extent of initial burst release was examined by varying the formulation process conditions s...

Natural resources in general and plant materials in particular are receiving more attention due to their safety as pharmaceutical excipients. Present work assessed the potential of a natural polysaccharide, pectin to mask the bitter taste of ambroxol hydrochloride, by microencapsulation technique, and its possibility to formulate as a fast disintegrating dosage form. Taste masking is an importa...

Ethylcellulose/methylcellulose blends were produced using different precipitation techniques and impregnated with naproxen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Solvent-evaporation technique was used not only for the preparation of ethylcellulose/methylcellulose microspheres but also to encapsulate naproxen. Supercritical fluid (SCF) impregnation was also performed to prepare naproxe...

Plasmid DNA was encapsulated within poly(d,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanospheres by using polyethylene glycol (PEG) assisted solubilization technique of plasmid DNA in organic solvents. Plasmid DNA was solubilized in an organic solvent mixture composed of 80% methylene chloride and 20% DMSO by producing PEG/DNA nano-complexes having an average diameter less than 100 nm. DNA could be sol...

Polymersomes are vesicular self-assemblies of amphiphilic diblock copolymers; they consist of a spherical compartment enclosed by amacromolecular bilayer and have great potential as encapsulation and release systems. They offer enhanced mechanical and structural stability as compared to vesicles made from phospholipids or detergents. By tailoring block lengths, block chemistry and functionaliza...
