Arrhythmia is a disease that is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the heart rate or rhythm. It is the major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although several antiarrhythmic drugs have been used in clinic for decades, their application is often limited by their adverse effects. As a result, natural drugs, which have fewer side effects, are now being used to treat arrhythm...

C.G. Wilson and P.J. Crowley (eds.), Controlled Release in Oral Drug Delivery, Advances in Delivery Science and Technology, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4614-1004-1_2, © Controlled Release Society 2011 Abstract Oral drug delivery remains the mainstay of patient treatment although the candidate drugs of the new millennium are becoming increasingly difficult to formulate for good systemic absorption. The ar...

In order to investigate the potential of a Sanguisorba officinalis root extract as an active ingredient for wrinkle-care cosmetics, we measured its free radical scavenging activity, elastase inhibitory activity, expression of MMP-1 (matrix metalloprotease-1) in vitro, and type I collagen synthesis in normal human fibroblast cells. To isolate the main components from the S. officinalis root extr...

the physicochemical properties of Iranian acetyl salicylic acid(ASA) tablets,including the products of 10 manufacturers with 14 products,from each 3 batches,totally 42 products have been studied.the properties under investigation are hardness,friability percintage,humidity percentage,free salicylic acid,content uniformity,amount of ASA disintegration time,and released percentage.the results ind...

The thermal and structural evolutions associated to active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) purity are monitored using a laboratory instrument (S3-MicroCaliX) allowing simultaneous time-resolved X-ray scattering at both wide and small angles (SWAXS) as a function of temperature. This is performed simultaneously with differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) that is carried out in the same apparat...

There may be substantial differences in the chemical composition of technical-grade products of the same active ingredient manufactured under different conditions, from different raw materials, or by different routes of synthesis. Resulting differences in impurity content may significantly affect the toxicological properties of pesticide products. Relevant impurities are those that may exhibit ...

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...
