In pharmaceutical view, nanoemulsion is one of the major dosage forms in delivering active ingredients to the target area which has attracted considerable attention in recent years for its application in personal care and cosmetic products also due to their ability to improve the penetration and permeation of active ingredients through the skin. The aim of this study was to formulate nanoemulsi...

The effect of eugenol on colchicine transport across an isolated rat intestinal membrane was studied using an in vitro diffusion chamber system. We found that eugenol increased the absorptive transport of the drug efficiently. The effect of eugenol on intestinal absorption of colchicine in an oral administrative nanoemulsion formulation was also demonstrated in vivo. The colchicine nanoemulsion...

This work experimentally studied the convective flow and heat transfer characteristics of a novel nanostructured heat transfer fluid: "ethanol/polyalphaolefin nanoemulsion" flowing through 12 circular minichannels of 1-mm diameter each. Ethanol/polyalphaolefin nanoemulsion is a thermodynamically stable system formed by dispersing ethanol into a mixture of "polyalphaolefin (PAO)" and surfactants...

Objective: The aim of the present work was to investigate the potential of flurbiprofen loaded nanoemulsion based emulgel for topical delivery. In order to improve the solubility, and increasing the bioavailability of drug nanoemulsion based emulgel was formulated. Methods: Flurbiprofen loaded nanoemulsion were successfully prepared by using high pressure homogenizer. Selection and area of nano...

In this study a new soluble solid curcumin nanoemulsion powder was prepared using spray-drying technology to improve the solubility and bioavailability of curcumin. The liquid nanoemulsion consisted of curcumin, Capryol 90, Transcutol P, and Cremophor RH40. The solid nanoemulsion was prepared by spray-drying the liquid nanoemulsion in laboratory spray dryer, using lactose as solid carrier. The ...

Itraconazole (ITR), an antifungal agent has poor bioavailability due to low aqueous solubility. The present investigation aimed at development of ITR nanoemulsion to enhance its oral bioavailability. ITR nanoemulsion was prepared using Capmul MCM C8 as oil, Pluronic F68 as co-surfactant and Cremophore EL as surfactant using high speed stirring, followed by probe sonication. Nanoemulsion with av...

Filariasis is a mosquito-borne disease that causes lymphedema and the main vector is Culex quinquefasciatus. A simple measure was taken to eradicate the vector using nanoemulsion. Eucalyptus oil nanoemulsion was formulated in various ratios comprising of eucalyptus oil, tween 80 and water by ultrasonication. The stability of nanoemulsion was observed over a period of time and 1:2 ratios of euca...

BACKGROUND Celecoxib, a selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitor has been recommended orally for the treatment of arthritis and osteoarthritis. Long term oral administration of celecoxib produces serious gastrointestinal side effects. It is a highly lipophilic, poorly soluble drug with oral bioavailability of around 40% (Capsule). Therefore the aim of the present investigation was to assess the sk...
