The objective of this study was to prepare and characterise nevirapine nanosuspensions so as to improve the dissolution rate of nevirapine. Nevirapine is a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor of immunodeficiency virus type-1 and it is poorly water-soluble antiretroviral drug. The low solubility of nevirapine can lead to decreased and variable oral bioavailability. Nanosuspension can o...

Whether the control of oral absorption is desired or the delivery of genes to the interior of specific cellsis sought the drug delivery macromolecule has emerged the most ubiquitous entity. In the current volume, macromolecules and their “younger (and sometimes smaller) cousins,” dendrimers, are presented as components extraordinaire of a variety of drug delivery systems. The therapeutic effect...

objectives: mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) is extensively used in endodontics. however, mta is difficult to handle because of its granular consistency, low mechanical properties and initial looseness. the objective of this study was to assess the compressive strength (cs), diametral tensile strength (dts), and ph of set mta using methyl cellulose as liquid. materials and methods: white proroo...

The carbonation of epoxidized vegetable oils is a crucial step in the preparation nonisocyanate polyurethane. Several research groups have screened homogeneous catalysts such as tetra-n-butylammonium bromide for this reaction, but devoted to use heterogeneous and on application kinetic modeling rare. Hence, develop process an industrial scale, appropriate catalyst should be found model develope...

A short review with 49 references describes the electrospinninng (ES) process for polysaccharides, cellulose and chitosan, and their derivatives, including cellulose acetate and hydroxypropyl cellulose. A majority of applied studies adopted a two step-process, in which the cellulose acetate was used for the first ES process, followed by acetyl group removal to regenerate cellulose thin fibers. ...

Cellulose etherification with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl-trimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC) was carried out in NaOH/urea aqueous solution, under homogeneous conditions. The substitution degree of the prepared quaternized cellulose, cellulose-CHPTAC, increased with increasing molar ratio of CHPTAC/anhydroglucose unit (AGU), reaction temperature, and reaction time. The structure of the cellulose-C...

oil from the eucalyptus tree ( eucalyptus camaldulensis l.) is used today in many over the counter cough and cold products, to relieve congestion. eucalyptus oil is also used in creams and ointments to relieve muscle and joint pain, and in some mouthwashes. in this study eucalyptus camaldulensis leaves extracted with water and ethanol 96°and the antimicrobial effects of extracts were evaluated ...
