Soda lignin does not have thermal flowing characteristics and it is impossible for it to be further thermally molded. To achieve the fusibility of soda lignin for fiber preparation by melt-spinning, an effective method for soda lignin modification was conducted by cooking it with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400 at various ratios. The higher the ratio of PEG that was used, the more PEG molecular c...

Several pyrazolo [1, 5-a] pyrimidines derivative were prepared by the condensation of substituted of α, βunsaturated carbonyl compounds (chalcones) with substituted 5-amino pyrazole as an alternative polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as green reaction medium. The reaction is clean with excellent yield, shorter reaction time. The entire synthesized products were characterized by spectral analysis. F...

Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were successfully prepared from softwood lignin, which was isolated with polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG-400) as a solvolysis reagent, by water steam activation. The pore characterization and adsorption property of ACFs were investigated. The results showed that all the ACFs with more micropores exhibited high specific surface area and total pore volume which increas...

Centella asiatica was extracted by methanol. The assay content of triterpenes in the extract was 0.12 % asiatic acid, 0.54 % madecassic acid, 0.25 % asiaticoside and 1.02 % madecassoside. The extract was complexed with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) and formulated with Eudragit E100, glycerol, PEG 400, copovidone, ethanol and purified water. A clear yellowish solution (F1-F8) was obtain...

The aim of the study was to evaluate a hot-melt technique for preparation of immediate release spherical microparticles containing clarithromycin with acceptable characteristics and process yield. A modified fluid bed apparatus with rotor insert was used to prepare spherical microparticles in the size range of 125-355 µm. Poloxamer 188, PEG-32 glyceryl laurate (Gelucire 44/14) and a mixture of ...

The present study was undertaken to 1) formulate a pulsatile colonic delivery of simvastatin (SIM) as chronotherapy for treatment of hypercholesterolemia, and 2) enhance the dissolution profile of the prepared SIM chronotherapeutic system. Lipid based formulations were utilized to formulate SIM in capsule dosage form coated with Eudragit® S100. SIM was formulated using different percentages of ...

Poor aqueous solubility and dissolution limit the oral bioavailability of Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) class II drugs. In this study, we aimed to improve raloxifene hydrochloride (RLX), a BCS drug, using self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS). Based on solubilities RLX, Capryol 90, Tween 80/Labrasol ALF, polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG-400) were selected as oil, surfac...

The title compound, C(17)H(13)N(3)OS, was obtained by the reaction of benzoyl chloride, ammonium thio-cyanate and 5-amino-quinoline in the presence of polyethyl-eneglycol-400 (PEG-400) as a phase-transfer catalyst. The compound crystallized as discrete mol-ecules linked by N-H⋯N and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving all the potential donors, generating sheets parallel to (100). An intramolecular N...
