a multiple-unit oral floating system was prepared using the emulsification-solvent diffusion method to prolong the gastric emptying time of theophylline. for this purpose, theophylline, ethyl cellulose and dibutyl phthalate were dissolved in an ethanol/dichloromethane mixture, added to 0.1 m hcl containing nacl (20%) or saturated theophylline and/or different concentrations of polysorbate 80 an...

objective(s) ibuprofen is a problematic drug in tableting, and dissolution due to its poor solubility, hydrophobicity, and tendency to stick to surface. because of the bad compaction behavior ibuprofen has to be granulated usually before tableting. however, it would be more satisfactory to obtain directly during the crystallization step crystalline particles that can be directly compressed and ...

The aim of present study was to prepare and characterize the recrystallized agglomerates of water insoluble non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, indomethacin (IM) with hydrophilic polymers like polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP),hydroxyl ethyl cellulose (HEC) and hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) by using emulsion solvent diffusion (ESD) technique for enhancing the solubility, dissolution rate,...

objective(s):the aim of this study was to improve flowability and compressibility characteristics of starch to use as a suitable excipient in direct compression tabletting. quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion was used as a crystal modification method. materials and methods: corn starch was dissolved in hydrochloric acid at 80˚c and then ethanol as a non-solvent was added with lowering temperature ...
