the influence of various polymers on the release rate of lithium carbonate from matrix-type tablets was investigated in an attempt to formulate a sustained release solid dosage form. for this purpose, tablets containing 450 mg of lithium carbonate along with various amounts of carbopol 934p, 971p, 974p, pemulen and eudragit rlpo as retarding agents and inactive ingredients (e.g. pvp, avicel or ...

New antimicrobial hydrogels were prepared via reaction of functionalized-Tragacanth Gum biopolymer by glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (QTG) with acrylamide (AM). Characterization of the QTG hydrogels with AM (QTG-AM) was carried out by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and 1HNMR. Swelling behaviour of the QTG hydrogels was investigated on the p...

a topical o/w cream containing tretinoin microspheres was prepared. gelatin microspheres of tretinoin were prepared using coacervation method. these microspheres contained about 50% w/w tretinoin. the particle size range of microspheres was between 90-150 m m. in vitro drug release from microspheres and a cream formulation was studied. it was shown that drug release from microspheres followed h...

in this study, tretinoin microemulsion has been formulated based on phase diagram studies by changing the amounts and proportions of inactive ingredients, such as surfactants, co-surfactants and oils. the effects of these variables have been determined on microemulsion formation, particle size of the dispersed phase and release profile of tretinoin from microemulsion through dialysis membrane. ...

extended-release matrix tablets of diltiazem hydrochloride (dtz) were prepared using waxy materials alone or in combination with kollidon sr. matrix waxy materials were carnauba wax (cw), bees wax (bw), cetyl alcohol (ca) and glyceryl monostearate (gms). dissolution studies were carried out by using a six stations usp xxii type 1 apparatus. the in vitro drug release study was done in 1000 ml ph...

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...

alpha-1antitrypsin (a1at) deficiency, an inherited disorder, has been shown to be the cause of lung diseases such as emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. one of the treatment strategies to provide appropriate and adequate concentrations of a1at in the lungsis the application of nanoparticles (nps) in pulmonary drug delivery. in the current study, biocompatible nanohydrogels were...

in this study, attempts were made to evaluate the effect of various acrylic acid based carbopols on the release profile of a beta-adrenoreceptor blocking drug, propranolol hcl, from matrix-type tablets invitro. for this purpose, tablets containing 160 mg of propranolol hcl along with various amounts of carbopols 934 (c934), 971 (c971), 974 (c974) and pemulen (pem) were prepared using the wet gr...
