Mussaenda philippica Linn. belongs to the sub-family Ixoroideae which family Rubiaceae. The aim of this study was employ quality control parameters in evaluation flowers M. L. were collected, identified, air dried and pulverized. Standard procedures carried out obtain microscopic features fresh powdered samples, micromeritic, chemomicroscopy, flourescence properties, soluble-extractive values, ...

The objective of the present investigation was to formulate and characterize the human insulin entrapped Eudragit S100 microspheres containing protease inhibitors and to develop an optimized formulation with desirable features. A w/o/w multiple emulsion solvent evaporation technique was employed to produce microspheres of human insulin using Eudragit S-100 as coating material and polyvinyl alco...

The aim of this work was to formulate Alstonia boonei dried stem bark powder into tablets by wet granulation method using acacia, gelatine and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as binders at concentrations of 1, 2, 4 and 8% w/w. The phytochemistry of the stem bark of Alstonia boonei was evaluated. The micromeritic properties of the granules prepared were studied. The tablets were evaluated using t...

Present study describes microencapsulation of eugenol using gelatin-sodium alginate complex coacervation. The effects of core to coat ratio and drying method on properties of the eugenol microcapsules were investigated. The eugenol microcapsules were evaluated for surface characteristics, micromeritic properties, oil loading and encapsulation efficiency. Eugenol microcapsules possessed good flo...

The study investigates ibuprofen with wax-like properties as a multifunctional agent (as an active component and as a melt binder). Binding efficiency was compared with granules prepared by wet granulation using polyvinylpyrollidone (PVP K-30) as a binder for micromeritic, physical and mechanical properties such as angle of repose, particle size distribution Carr's index, Hausner's ratio, crush...

ABSTARCT:Emulsion Solovent Diffusion (EDS) technique combines crystallization and agglomeration directly to generate spherical agglomerates with improved micromeretic properties, thus obviating need for further processing by granulation and agglomeration. The present study was focused on spherical crystallization of an antifungal drug Gresiofulvine (GRV) using above mentioned ESD technique in w...

The present investigation was aimed to formulate and evaluate the gastro-retentive floating microballoons of glipizide using hydrophilic polymers hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and Eudragit RS100 (RS 100) by emulsion solvent evaporation technique. The floating microballoons were evaluated using micromeritic properties, buoyancy, in vitro drug release, scanning electron microscopy and stab...

Multiple-unit-type oral floating hollow microspheres of 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) were developed using modified solvent evaporation technique to prolong gastric residence time, to target stomach cancer, and to increase drug bioavailability. The prepared microspheres were characterized for micromeritic properties, floating behavior, entrapment efficiency, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The ...
