A topical o/w cream containing tretinoin microspheres was prepared. Gelatin microspheres of tretinoin were prepared using coacervation method. These microspheres contained about 50% w/w tretinoin. The particle size range of microspheres was between 90-150 m m. In vitro drug release from microspheres and a cream formulation was studied. It was shown that drug release from microspheres followed H...

background: the development of injectable sustained-release products are of great interest to veterinary pharmaceuticals and animal health business. recently, great attention has been paid to in situ gel-forming chitosan/beta-glycerophosphate (chitosan/β-gp) solutions due to their good biodegradability and thermosensitivity. objectives: the general aim of this study was to prepare a novel in si...

in this study, tretinoin microemulsion has been formulated based on phase diagram studies by changing the amounts and proportions of inactive ingredients, such as surfactants, co-surfactants and oils. the effects of these variables have been determined on microemulsion formation, particle size of the dispersed phase and release profile of tretinoin from microemulsion through dialysis membrane. ...

alpha-1antitrypsin (a1at) deficiency, an inherited disorder, has been shown to be the cause of lung diseases such as emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. one of the treatment strategies to provide appropriate and adequate concentrations of a1at in the lungsis the application of nanoparticles (nps) in pulmonary drug delivery. in the current study, biocompatible nanohydrogels were...

in this study, attempts were made to evaluate the effect of various acrylic acid based carbopols on the release profile of a beta-adrenoreceptor blocking drug, propranolol hcl, from matrix-type tablets invitro. for this purpose, tablets containing 160 mg of propranolol hcl along with various amounts of carbopols 934 (c934), 971 (c971), 974 (c974) and pemulen (pem) were prepared using the wet gr...

Background: Drug nano-carriers are one of the most important tools for targeted cancer therapy so that undesired side effects of chemotherapy drugs are minimized. In this area, the use of ultrasound can be helpful in controlling drug release from nanoparticles to achieve higher treatment efficiency.Objective: Here, we studies the effects of ultrasound irradiation on the release profile of 5-flu...

microencapsulation has become a common technique in the production of controlled release dosage forms. many results have been reported, concerning the use of alginate beads as controlled release drug formulations. alginate has a unique gel-forming property in the presence of multivalent cations, in an aqueous medium. ibuprofen is an excellent analgesic and antipyretic, non-steroidal anti-inflam...

the purpose of this review article is to characterize all of the parameters regarding the types, polymers used, and release kinetics of matrix tablets. matrix system was the earliest oral extended release platform for medicinal use. matrix tablets are most commonly used methods to modulate the release profile of drugs. they are much desirable and preferred for such therapy because they offer be...

Effects of formulation parameters on the fractional release profile of diclofenac sodium from matrices having the manufacturing formulation ingredients are studied. As a content of cetyl alcohol (rate controlling agent) in the matrix increases, the fractional release decreases. The fractional release increases either by increasing sucrose content outside the granule or by decreasing sucrose...
