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...

mucosa-adhesive gels can be used as a useful mean of delivering drugs to or via mucosal membranes, and in particular buccal mucosa. carbomers are among the best mucosa-adhesive materials known. the aim of this study was to compare the results obtained from the mucosa-adhesive strength of aqueous gels containing carbomers, either alone or in combination, to the data obtained from assessing the d...

orally disintegrating tablets (odts) are capable of turning quickly into a liquid dosage form in contact with the saliva, thus possessing the advantages of both the solid dosage forms particularly stability and liquid dosage forms specially ease of swallowing and pre-gastric absorption of drug. the aim of this study was to prepare a novel matrix-type buccal fast disintegrating ibuprofen tablet ...

the present work was aimed to design and develop self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (snedds) with the objective to overcome the problems associated with the delivery of talinolol, a hydrophobic and poorly bioavailable drugs having ph dependant solubility. the solubility of talinolol in various oils, surfactants, cosurfactants and aqueous phases were determined to identify and select the...

in the present study, floating drug delivery beads (fdds) were prepared with sodium alginate/ starch blend as a matrix, sodium hydrogen carbonate as a pore forming agent, methyl cellulose as a binder and barium chloride solution as a hardening agent. in order to prepare the beads with different porosity and morphology the ratio between pore forming agent to polymer blend and ratio of the consti...

Nowadays the application of nanotechnology in different biomedical fields such as drug delivery is increasing due to its unique advantages. With this in mind, it is widely believed that nanogels as the nanometer-sized networked polymeric particles have a considerable impact on drug delivery systems as biocompatible nanocarriers due to their unique characteristics such as high loading capacity, ...

In developed countries, nanoparticles derived from natural minerals and high-purity chemicals both are widely studied, while in developing countries like Mongolia, the minerals-based have more interest because of low production cost applicability domestic for their production. For synthesis mineral-based nanomaterials, it is important first to define chemical composition physical structure loca...

The main objective of the current research work is to explore effect nanosilica particles on compound EPDM/SBR-SiO2 (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer/styrene-butadiene rubber-nanosilica). composite EPDM/SBR with and without silane coupling agent was processed using an open mill mixer. are prepared in laboratory were used as reinforcing material rubber composites. cure characteristics, mechanica...

hydrogel based metronidazole bioadhesive tablet (hmbt) was prepared as a novel vaginal delivery system to achieve controlled release of drug from the tablet for vaginal candidiasis. the highly swollen hydrogel were prepared by dissolving chitosan in acetic acid solution containing drug, followed by neutralisation with sodium hydroxide and characterized by sem, dsc and ft-ir and evaluated for % ...
