In recent decades, most of researchers in pharmaceutical preparations have focused increasingly on new formulations that control the site and amount of drug delivery. Mucoadhesive dosage forms are available for systemic or local treatment. The mucoadhesive dosage forms are introduced in various forms such as tablets, gels, ointments, patches and polymeric films. For buccal wound and inju...

Appropriate adjuvant selection may be essential to optimize the potency and to tailor the immune response of subunit vaccines. To induce protective responses against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-a highly prevalent childhood pathogen without a licensed vaccine-we previously engineered a pre-fusion-stabilized trimeric RSV F (pre-F) "DS-Cav1" immunogen, which induced high titer RSV-neutralizi...

The objective of the present investigation is to formulate Nizatidine loaded superporous floating hydrogel tablets. In the present study Nizatidine floating tablets were prepared by effervescence method using sodium bicarbonate as a gas generating agent. The tablets were formulated using direct compression technology by employing polymers like chitosan, carbopol 934p and ethyl cellulose. The pr...

Objective: The study is centered on formulation and evaluation of low viscosity metronidazole gel with varying amount Carbopol. Methods: Formulations (F1, F2 F3) Metronidazole in form were done amounts Prepared gels inspected for surface pH, viscosity, spreadability, antimicrobial susceptibility, drug content percentage, vitro process release, release kinetics stability testing. Findings: Formu...

Vestigial-like 1 (VGLL1) is a poorly characterized gene encoding a transcriptional co-activator structurally homologous to TAZ and YAP that modulates the Hippo pathway in Drosophila. In this study, we examined the expression of VGLL1 and its intronic miRNA, miR-934, in breast cancer. VGLL1 and miR-934 expression miRNA profiling was carried out on frozen samples of grade 3 invasive ductal carcin...

The effect of ultrasound on caffeine transport through rabbitâ€TMs skin from four different gel matrices respectively made fromHPMC, methylcellulose, gelatin or carbopol 940 has been evaluated. The drug transport without ultrasound application was not detectable during the time course of the study. Ultrasound application has showed an increase drug transport (in terms of percent of drug transpo...

The purpose of this study was to develop a pH-triggered in situ gelling vehicle for ophthalmic delivery of puerarin. The effect of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) on the aqueous solubility and in vitro corneal permeation of puerarin was also investigated. The puerarin solubility increased linearly and proportionally to the HP-beta-CD concentrations and 5% (w/v) HP-beta-CD enhanced ...

Purpose: To evaluate physicochemical changes in ciprofloxacin following incorporation in Carbopol polymeric composites. Methods: The ciprofloxacin and Carbopol were mixed in water in a drug:polymer ratio of 1:5 (w/w) and homogenized to produce uniform composites. X-ray powder diffraction analysis of the pure ciprofloxacin and the Carbopol polymeric composites of the drug were obtained using a p...
