The »Formulating for Efficacy« concept is a systematic approach to simultaneously optimize the driving force of the active ingredient (so that it partitions in larger quantities into the stratum corneum) and reduce its concentration in the formulation without a loss of clinical efficacy. Its ultimate aim is to optimize the clinical efficacy via enhancement of the skin delivery of the active pri...

This study reported that the sample used in was an infusion using fresh coriander leaves samples taken Lubuk Pakam area. Several studies have shown active components of seeds are essential oils such as sabiene, myrcene, alphaterpine, ocimene, linalool, graniol, decanal, desilaldehyde, trantridecen, petroselinic acid, octadesenic d-mannite, scopoletin, psimena, kamfena and felandren. These cause...

Safranal is a monoterpene aldehyde found in saffron (Crocus sativus L.) petals. It has been previously reported that safranal has a wide range of activities such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we examined the effect of safranal on brain injuries in a transient model of focal cerebral ischemia. Transient focal cerebral ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery ...

The aim was to characterize the effect of over-the-counter whitening strips on proteins in teeth. active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide.

This paper discusses the nature of the active ingredient of homeopathic ultramolecular dilutions in terms of quantitative physics. First, the problem of the nature of an active ingredient in ultramolecular dilutions is analysed leading to the recognition of the necessity of characterizing the active ingredient as a non-local quality. Second, non-locality in quantum mechanics, which is used as a...

In this study near-infrared (NIR) transmission and diffuse reflection spectra of tablets with two different pharmaceutical active substances in variable concentrations were recorded. The purpose of these tests was to correlate the spectra with the content of active ingredient, hardness and moisture content in order to implement a fast, non-destructive quality control of solid drug formulations ...

Since 24 states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana in some form, suppliers of legal marijuana have developed Cannabis sativa products for use in electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). Personal battery powered vaporizers, or e-cigarettes, were developed to deliver a nicotine vapor such that smokers could simulate smoking tobacco without the inherent pathology of inhaled tobacco...

High efficiency, cost effectiveness and short run time are the basic requirements of high-speed chromatographic separations. To fulfill these requirements, an advanced separation technique, ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC), has shown promising developments. A rapid, specific, sensitive, and precise reverse-phase UPLC method was developed for the determination of antiparkinson drug ...

A new semi-selective medium, acidified weak potato-dextrose agar (AWPDA) with Mertect (active ingredient: thiabendazole), was developed for the isolation and enumeration of Alternaria species from samples of soil and plant debris. The medium was selected based on growth inhibition tests against Alternaria and several other commonly encountered saprobic fungi utilizing three antifungal agents, B...
