solid lipid nanoparticles of atovaquone (atq-sln) were prepared by high shearhomogenization method using tripalmitin, trilaurin, and compritol 888 ato as the lipidmatrices and phospholipon 90h, tween 80, and poloxamer 188 as the surfactants. optimizationof the formulations was conducted using 6 sets of 24 full-factorial design based on fourindependent variables that were the number of homogeniz...

materials and methods liposomes were prepared by thin film method using soya lecithin and cholesterol. physicochemical characteristics of the liposomes such as, particle size, drug encapsulation efficiency were determined. also, drug release and in vitro skin permeability through rat skin were evaluated using franz diffusion cells. results the results showed that the maximum drug encapsulation ...

the aim of the present study was to develop exemestane loaded polymeric nanoparticles for improved oral bioavailability of exemestane. exemestane loaded nanoparticles were prepared by solvent displacement method with eudragit rl 100 and eudragit l 100 as polymers and pluronic® f-68 as surfactant. the influence of various formulation factors (drug: polymer ratio and concentration of surfactant) ...

in this study, microspheres containing estradiol valerate were prepared by solvent evaporation method using poly (glycolide-co-lactide) (plga 50:50) and poly (lactide). the effect of different process variables such as polymer type, drugpolymer ratio, stirring rate, volume of internal phase and temperature of external phase on the morphology, particle size distribution, encapsulation efficiency...

the objective of the present study was to prepare controlled release formulation of moxifloxacin hydrochloride ocular nanoparticles. the nanoparticles were prepared by solvent displacement method using eudragit rl 100 as a polymer. different formulations were prepared by varying the ratios of drug and polymer and varying the ratios of organic and aqueous phase. the formulations were evaluated i...

tilmicosin (tlm) is an important antibiotic in veterinary medicine with low bioavailability and safety. this study aimed to formulate and evaluate physicochemical properties, storage stability after lyophilization and antibacterial activity of three tlm-loaded lipid nanoparticles (tlm-lnps) including solid lipid nanoparticles (slns), nanostructured lipid carriers (nlcs) and lipid-core nanocapsu...

preparation of chitosan (cs) microspheres as a novel drug delivery vehicle for intranasal immunization using high, medium and low cs molecular weight (mw) was investigated in this study. diphtheria toxoid (dt) was used as a model antigen. the emulsion-solidification method was adopted for microencapsulation of dt.  in the first step, following the purification of semi-crude dt by the ion-exchan...

a sustained-release tablet formulation should ideally have a proper release profile insensitive to moderate changes in tablet hardness that is usually encountered in manufacturing. in this study, matrix aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) tablets with ethylcellulose (ec), eudragit rs100 (rs), and eudragit s100 (s) were prepared by direct compression. the release behaviors were then studied in two co...

in the present investigation an attempt has been made to increase therapeutic efficacy, to reduce frequency of administration and to improve patient compliance by developing a sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate. sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate were developed by using different drug: polymer ratios, such in f1 (1:0.75), f2 (1:1), f3 (1:1.5),...

hard gelatin capsule filled with acetaminophen, osmotic agent (sorbitol), a release promoter (sodium dodecyl sulfate), coated with a semipermeable cellulose acetate membrane containing a hydrophobic plasticizer (castor oil) and sealed with white bees wax plug was designed. when placed in the sink water penetrates the membrane, dissolves the osmotic agent and increases the osmotic pressure insid...
