Defined aggregates of polymers such as polymeric micelles are of great importance in the development of pharmaceutical formulations. The amount of drug that can be formulated by a drug delivery system is an important issue, and most drug delivery systems suffer from their relatively low drug-loading capacity. However, as the loading capacities increase, i.e., promoted by good drug-polymer inter...

Here we report a novel approach for preparation of a 6-day transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) as treatment for mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. The spray drying method was used to prepare microparticles containing the anti-Alzheimer drug. The content of the drug was determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. The morphology and size range of the microparticles ...

In this paper, we consider global stability for a heroin model with two distributed delays. The basic reproduction number of the heroin spread is obtained, which completely determine the stability of equilibria. Using the direct Lyapunov method with Volterra type Lyapunov function, we show that the drug use-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number is l...

In this study, the drug atenolol on C60 fullerene were the drug and its derivatives were optimized fullerene. NBO and NMR for complex computations required in the HF/6-31G (d) and B3LYP/6-31G (d) quantum chemistry method was used. Mechanical quantum calculations in theory level of B3LYP/6-31G were performed on structure of atenolol and nano fullerene atenolol with different positions...

candesartan cilexetil (cc) is a newer class of angiotensin ii receptor antagonist used for the treatment of hypertension. the solubility of the cc is very poor and its oral bioavailability is only 15%. the controlled-release polar lipid microparticles of cc (formulations f1, f2, f3 and f4) were prepared using variable erodible lipophilic excipients like hydrogenated castor oil, stearic acid, ce...

BACKGROUND Parenteral antiepileptic drugs are frequently used in critically ill patients for seizure control therapy or prevention. Many of these patients require additional parenteral nutrition (PN). Therefore, a parallel infusion of the frequently used antiepileptic drug levetiracetam (LEV) is interesting in terms of the restricted i.v. lines (e.g., neonates). The potential interactions of th...

Other than efficacy of interaction with the molecular target, metabolic stability is the primary factor responsible for the failure or success of a compound in the drug development pipeline. The ideal drug candidate should be stable enough to reach its therapeutic site of action. Despite many recent excellent achievements in the field of computational methods supporting drug metabolism studies,...

Stealth nanoparticles made of polymer micelles are ideal drug carriers for targeted drug delivery, but their stability is critical for intravenous applications. We found that core-surfacecrosslinked nanoparticles (SCNp) made from amphiphilic brush copolymers had greatly enhanced stability. The surface of the SCNps can be easily tailored by using different chains. The amphiphilic brush copolymer...

The stability of polymeric nanoparticles in serum is critical to their use in drug delivery where dilution after intravenous injection often results in nanoparticle disassembly and drug unloading; however, few investigate this in biologically relevant media. To gain greater insight into nanoparticle stability in blood, the stability of self-assembled polymeric micelles of poly(d,l-lactide-co-2-...
