In order to enhance in vitro dissolution and content uniformity of poorly soluble drug glimepiride by preparing solid dispersions using modified solvent fusion method, solid dispersions of drug were prepared by modified fusion solvent method using PEG 6000 and PVP K25 (as carrier). Eight batches (F1-F8) were prepared by Factorial design (23) by taking three ...

varying degrees of water solubility. Some additives (e.g., methyl tertiary-butyl ether and alcohols) are highly soluble. Other components (e.g., benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes) are slightly soluble. Many components (e.g., ndodecane and n-heptane) have relatively low water solubility under ideal conditions. Physical and chemical properties which affect transport and fate of selected...

The objective of the study is to evaluate Olibanum resin, a natural resin polymer as matrix polymer for controlled release tablets and to design matrix tablets of diclofenac for controlled release. Matrix tablets of diclofenac were formulated employing Olibanum resin in different proportions of drug and polymer and the tablets were evaluated for drug release kinetics and mechanism. Two diluents...

Nimesulide is a weakly acidic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs). Like many non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Nimesulide is very sparingly soluble in water (≈ 0.01 mg/mL).The poor aqueous solubility and wettability of Nimesulide gives rise to difficulties in pharmaceutical formulations for oral or parenteral delivery, which may lead to variable bioavailability. Based on the Biop...

The aim of this study was to develop a dry powder coating process for chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM) tablets using Eudragit L 100-55 as the delayed release polymer. Powder coating, a water and organic solvent-free process, was investigated as a method to prevent the migration of an ionizable, highly water soluble model drug into the polymeric film during the coating process. Eudragit L 100-55 w...

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate effects of various polymers on the release of a water soluble drug by using spray drying technique of microencapsulation. Methods: Spray drying is a single step technique, less time is required and loading efficiency is not affected by the nature of the drug whether hydrophilic or hydrophobic. Eudragit RS 30D, RL 30D and Ethylcellulose (S...

Hydrogels are introduced to modem medicine as novel materials suitable for a variety ofbiomedical applications. Studying hydrogels as novel biomaterials has become a fast-developingand exciting research field during the last two decades. These interesting biomaterials have found awide range of application including contact lenses, vehicles for drug delivery and scaffold in tissueengineering and...

Dexketoprofen trometamol (DT), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is a highly water-soluble salt and active enantiomer of rac-ketoprofen. Its parenteral form is commonly used for acute pain management in emergency departments of our country. Side effects such as diarrhea, indigestion, nausea, stomach pain, and vomiting may be seen after the use of DT. Anaphylactic shock (AS) secondary to in...

Wet scrubbers are one of the most important air-pollution control devices (APCDs) for the simultaneous removal of various acidic gases and particulates. This study was conducted on a lab-scale self-designed wet scrubber (WSB) system for the treatment of particle-bound water-soluble ions emitted from cooking fumes with/without adding bio-solution (namely, NOE-7F). The concentration and compositi...
