the objective of present research was to design, evaluate and compare drug release from two different dosage forms in pulsatile drug delivery system (dds) for metoprolol tartarate (mt) as tablet and capsule. pulsatile systems are gaining a lot of interest as they deliver the drug at the right site of action at the right time and in the right amount, thus providing spatial and temporal delivery ...

the objective of the present study was to design an oral controlled drug delivery system for sparingly soluble diclofenac sodium (dcl) using guar gum as triple-layer matrix tablets. matrix tablet granules containing 30% (d1), 40% (d2) or 50% (d3) of guar gum were prepared by the conventional wet granulation technique. matrix tablets of diclofenac sodium were prepared by compressing three layers...

the purpose of this research was to prepare a floating matrix tablet containing domperidone as a model drug. polyethylene oxide (peo) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (hpmc) were evaluated for matrix-forming properties. a simplex lattice design was applied to systemically optimize the drug release profile. the amounts of peo wsr 303, hpmc k15m and sodium bicarbonate were selected as independen...

The present study deals with the synthesis andfunctionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug delivery platforms. SBA-15 nanorods with high surface area (1010 m2g-1) were functionalized by post grafting method using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTS). The parent and thiol-functionalized SBA-15 nanorods were used as nanocarriers for an anticancer drug (gemcitabine). The charac...

Objective Eudragits are widely used polymers in the production of oral sustained release dosage forms. The application of these polymers in the production of inert insoluble matrices has been investigated. However the effect of particle size, compaction force and presence of Aerosil 200 as a glidant on the properties of Eudragit RS and RL matrices prepared by direct compression of their physic...

In this work we synthesized Nano hydroxyapatite (HAp)  by Sol-gel method, Then we functionalized hydroxyapatite nanoparticle by use of  3-Aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (APTMS) , to improve the loading and control release of sulfasalazine drug bonded to APTMS. The drug release patterns from Sulfasalazine loaded HAp nanoparticles at pH value 8 For 6h, Sulfasalazine loaded functionalized HAp nanopa...

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...

Sustained release of thermal-instable and water-soluble drugs with low molecule weight is a challenge. In this study, sodium bicarbonate was encapsulated in ethyl cellulose microspheres by a novel solid-in-oil-in-oil (S/O/O) emulsification method using acetonitrile/soybean oil as new solvent pairs. Properties of the microspheres such as size, recovery rate, morphology, drug content, and drug re...
