objective(s): in this study, drug loaded electrospun nanofibrous mats were prepared and drug release and mechanism from prepared nanofibers were investigated.  materials and methods: paclitaxel (ptx) loaded polylactic acid (pla) nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning. the effects of process parameters, such as ptx concentration, tip to collector distance, voltage, temperature and flow rate...

Although much evidence suggests that calcium (Ca(2+)) usually triggers synaptic vesicle exocytosis and neurotransmitter release, the role of Ca(2+) in vesicle endocytosis and in the delivery of fusion-competent vesicles (i.e. mobilisation and/or priming) in nerve terminals remains unclear. To address this issue, we have studied synaptic vesicle dynamics in cultured rat neurones under conditions...

The objective of this study was to formulate and evaluate the drug-polymer interaction of mefenamic acid (MA) using two polymers with different characteristics as ethylcellulose (EC) and/or cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP). Microspheres were prepared by the modified emulsion solvent evaporation (MESE). The effect of drug-polymer interaction was studied for each of microspheres. Important param...

Diclofenac sodium as ophthalmic dosage form is used in patients treatment of eye pain, swelling and redness recovering from cataract surgery but it faces the bioavailability limitation of eye drops due to effective protective mechanisms and corneal barrier functions in the eyes. Therefore, this investigation was aimed to develop ocular film formulations to achieve controlled drug release. Drug ...

background: jaundice is a common condition among neonates. prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia occurs when jaundice persists beyond two weeks in term neonates and three weeks in preterm neonates. this study aimed to determine the etiologies of prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in infants admitted to the neonatal ward of besat hospital in hamadan, iran. methods: this study was cond...

Objective(s): Ketotifen fumarate (KF) is a selective and noncompetitive histamine antagonist (H1-receptor) that is used topically in the treatment of allergic conditions of rhinitis and conjunctivitis. The aim of this study was to formulate and improve an ophthalmic delivery system of KF.Ocular nanoparticles were prepared with the objective of reducing the frequency of administration and obtain...

Sustained-release matrix tablets allow for continuous drug release while also optimizing a drug's biologic, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic properties maximum therapeutic efficacy. The regulates the rate at which is released. Because it facilitates prolonged release, major excipient in formulation retardant. technology may promote patient compliance efficiently treat chronic illnesses by d...
