The objective of this work was to compare several profiles of dissolution data for metoprolol controlled release tablet formulations in order to identify possible changes in dissolution profiles of whole and scored tablets. Adequate design of score lines (on one or both sides) as well as the technology of preparation of tablet mixtures ensure forming a score line of adequate thickness, shape, s...

extended-release matrix tablets of diltiazem hydrochloride (dtz) were prepared using waxy materials alone or in combination with kollidon sr. matrix waxy materials were carnauba wax (cw), bees wax (bw), cetyl alcohol (ca) and glyceryl monostearate (gms). dissolution studies were carried out by using a six stations usp xxii type 1 apparatus. the in vitro drug release study was done in 1000 ml ph...

The development of biomedical technology is allowing refinement of drug therapies in order to improve medication profiles and benefit patients. Gabapentin (Gp) is a medication licensed globally for various indications, including postherpetic neuralgia. It has a pharmacokinetic profile which has been suggested may limit its clinical effects and reduce medication compliance. In 2012, the US Food ...

The duration of Ag expression in vivo has been reported to have a minimal impact on both the magnitude and kinetics of contraction of a pathogen-induced CD8(+) T cell response. In this study, we controlled the duration of Ag expression by excising the ear pinnae following intradermal ear pinnae DNA immunization. This resulted in decreased magnitude, accelerated contraction and differentiation, ...
