The aim of the present study is to formulate and investigate the potential of nanoemulsion formulation for topical delivery of ketoprofen. In this study, Palm Oil Esters (POEs) a newly introduced oil by Universiti Putra Malaysia researchers was chosen for the oil phase of the nanoemulsion, because the oil was reported to be a good vehicle for pharmaceutical use. Oil-in-water nanoemulsion was pr...

INTRODUCTION We investigated the antianxiety and sedative effects of the essential oil of Ducrosia anethifolia. Boiss. (Apiaceae). METHODS We used elevated plus maze, spontaneous motor activity and ketamine-induced sleep tests in mice. In addition, the essential oil was analyzed by GC/MS. Twenty compounds were identified, and n-decanal (70.1%) and alpha-pinene (12.4%) constituted the major co...

This study aimed to formulate an optimized acyclovir (ACV) nanoemulsion hydrogel in order to provide a solution for the slow, variable, and incomplete oral drug absorption in patient suffering from herpes simplex viral infection. Solubility of ACV in different oils, surfactants, and cosurfactants was explored utilizing a cubic model mixture design to obtain a nanoemulsion with minimum globule s...

this experiment was conducted at the agricultural research farm of isfahan university of technology in 2007-2008 to evaluate the effects of seed treatment and the levels of irrigation regimes on three safflower cultivars. a split plot factorial arrangement was used in a randomized complete block design with three replications. main-plot consisted of three irrigation regimes (60, 105 and 140 mm ...

in order to study a the effect of different levels of ammonium sulfate on photosynthesis pigments, essential oil content and components in summer savory, an experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with five treatments and three replications on karaj climate conditions. the treatments included five levels of ammonium sulfate consist of: control (without fertiliz...

Microbial enumeration and identification were carried out on several oil contaminated soil samples collected from gasoline and diesel stations. Bacteria were the most dominant microbiota and were therefore classified to generic level. Eleven main genera were detected and Corynebacterium was the predominant genus in all the samples. Biochemical characterisation and substrate utilisation showed h...

OBJECTIVES The study was undertaken to evaluate the burn wound healing property of oil of Cocos nucifera and to compare the effect of the combination of oil of Cocos nucifera and silver sulphadiazine with silver sulphadiazine alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Partial thickness burn wounds were inflicted upon four groups of six rats each. Group I was assigned as control, Group II received the stand...

Soybeans received at 12 central Iowa elevators in 1985-1987 were analyzed for protein and oil content. The standard deviation among deliveries to an individual elevator was 1.0 and 0.5 percentage points for protein and oil, respectively. About 15% of samples were above average in both nutrients. About 15% were below average in both nutrients. The rest were above average in one and below average...

pumpkin is one the most important cultivated medicinal plants. because of high quality oil it uses as edible and herbal medicine. to find out the effects of different rates of pelleted animal manure and urea levels and some micronutrients on morphophysiological characteristics and oil yield of medicinal pumpkin, a split plot experiment based on rcbd with three replicates was conducted at the re...
