Silymarin (Sm) is a polyphenolic component extracted from Silybum marianum. It is an antioxidant, traditionally used as an immunostimulant, hepatoprotectant, and dietary supplement. Relatively recently, Sm has proved to be a valuable chemopreventive and a useful antineoplastic agent. Medical success for Sm is, however, constrained by very low aqueous solubility and associated biopharmaceutical ...

The objective of this study was the development of a colon-targeted microspheres which were compressed into tablets containing the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory bumadizone calcium hemihydrate. [corrected]. A 3(2) full factorial design was adopted for the evaluation of the prepared microspheres. The effect of two independent variables namely polymer type (Eudragit RS100, ethyl cellulose and ce...

In the present study, an attempt was made to develop the pulsatile drug delivery of Lovastatin to the colon. Formaldehyde treated Capsule bodies were used for the preparation of pulsin caps. It was sealed with unhardened cap of the capsule. The microspheres were prepared by emulsion solvent evaporation technique. Optimized microsphere formulations were selected based on dissolution studies. Hyd...

Purpose: To prepare and evaluate spherical agglomerates of pioglitazone hydrochloride (PGH) for direct compression with different additives. Method: Spherical agglomerates of pioglitazone hydrochloride were prepared by emulsion solvent diffusion method with and without additives (polyethylene glycol 6000, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, β cyclodextrin, Eudragit RS100, low acyl gellan gum and xanthan gum...

PURPOSE The purpose of this work was to preparation of vancomycin (VCM) biodegradable nanoparticles to improve the intestinal permeability, using water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) multiple emulsion method. METHODS The vancomycin-loaded nanoparticles were created using double-emulsion solvent evaporation method. Using Eudragit RS100 as a coating material. The prepared nanoparticles were identifyed...

Objective(s): This study was carried out to boost the pharmacologic influence of carvedilol (CAR) (as a poorly water-soluble drug) by developing CAR-eudragit® RS100 (Eud) nanofibers and nanobeads benefiting an electrospraying approach. Materials and Methods: CAR-Eud nanoformulations with varying ratios (1:5 and 1:10) at total solution co...

The aim of present study was to improve the solubility Rasagilline mesylate, an Atypical Antipsychotic agent which is BCS Class III drug and thus has very low hence poor bioavailability owing less absorption. Moreover mesylate a bitter taste. Thus in attempt made taste mask oral by formulating into solid dispersion then formulate dispersions Fast Dissolving Tablets. Solid Dispersions were formu...

The aim of this study was to develop the polymer coated diclofenac tablet containing superdisintegrant for colonic drug delivery and compare the in vivo performance of two polymers for site specificity. Eudragit FS 3D and Eudragit S100 were used as pH sensitive polymers. Tablets were prepared to give fast release at specific site with the help of sodium starch glycolate as superdisintegrant. Ta...
