The use of an inorganic phase in water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion has recently received considerable attention for preparing metal oxide nanoparticles. This is a technique, which allows preparation of ultrafine metal oxide nanoparticles within the size range 40 to 80 nm. Preparation of nano chromium (III) oxide studied investigated in the inverse microemulsion system. Therefore the nucleation o...

the available minoxidil formulations for topical application suffer with major drawback having less contact time with the scalp which requires repeated application. hence, the present study was aimed to investigate the effect of microemulsions and microemulsion based hydrogel systems (mehs) for increased percutaneous penetration of minoxidil. minoxidil microemulsions were developed by following...

Uniform antimony (Sb) nanotubes were successfully synthesized via a facile solvothermal method without the need for any surfactants or templates. The Sb nanotubes are confirmed to be pure rhombohedral phase and have better crystallinity. These nanotubes show middle-hollow and open-ended structures, as well as multi-walled structures with the wall thickness of about 10 nm. Also, they have an ave...

A simple, rapid and specific method was developed to separate as well as to determine the four phenylethanoid glycosides (PhGs) (echinacoside, tubuloside B, acteoside and isoacteoside) in rat plasma after oral administration of Cistanche salsa extract by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography using a microemulsion as the mobile phase. The separations were performed on a Zorbax Ex...

Ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), showed very promisingneuroprotection action, but it suffers from high first pass metabolism and limited abilityto cross blood brain barrier. Severe gastric toxicity following oral administration furtherlimits its utility. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate whether ibuprofen loadedmucoadhesive microemulsion (MMEI) could enha...

ABSTRACT: This research aims to prepare microemulsion from Tea Tree and Rosemary essential oil treat gram-positive gram-negative bacterial infections. A phase titration has been used make the proposed microemulsion, which contained 71% water, 23% of a 1:1 mixture propylene glycol (surfactant), tween 80 (co-surfactant), 6% tea tree/rosemary oil. In pale yellowish transparent droplet size, zeta p...

Zirconium oxide based Metal-Organic Frameworks were synthesised using a rapid and efficient microwave-assisted solvothermal method that produced purer phases and higher quality crystalline products in significantly (>95%) less time than the conventional heating method. A new amino-functionalised analogue has been synthesised exclusively using this microwave-assisted methodology.

The purpose of this study was to develop a docetaxel microemulsion containing an anti-tumor synergistic ingredient (Brucea javanica oil) and to investigate the characteristics of the microemulsion. Brucea javanica oil contains oleic acid and linoleic acids that have been shown by animal and human studies to inhibit tumor formation. The microemulsion containing Brucea javanica oil, medium-chain ...

The objective of the present study was to design and develop a microemulsion based transungual drug delivery formulation of ciclopirox olamine using colloidal carrier for treatment of onychomycosis. Capmul PG8 was selected as oil phase due to the high solubility of ciclopirox in it as compared to other oils and Cremophor EL and Transcutol P were used as surfactant and cosurfactant respectively....
