Ion exchange resins are water-insoluble, cross-linked polymers containing salt-forming groups in repeating positions on the polymer chain. Bitter cationic drugs get adsorbed on to weak cationic exchange resins of carboxylic acid functionality like Indion 204, Indion 234 and Tulsion 335 to forms non-bitter complexes. The present investigation aims at taste masking of the bitter clarithromycin us...

Aim of this research work was to develop mouth dissolving tablet that disintegrates rapidly in mouth by using tasteless complex of Levocetirizine and Tulsion-335. Effect of different parameters such as swelling time, resin activation, drug resin ratio as well as stirring time was optimized by taste and percentage drug loading. Formulated DRC (Drug Resin Complex) was characterized by infrared sp...

Clarithromycin, an antibacterial agent, is extremely bitter in taste. The present research communication deals with development of taste masked resinate of clarithromycin using Tulsion-335, an acidic cation ion exchange resin. The drug resin complexes were prepared by batch process by taking drug to resin ratios of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4. The drug resin complexation procedure was optimized with ...

In the present work, taste masked resinates of levofloxacin using Tulsion-335, an acidic cation ion exchange resins were used to develop its oral suspension formulations. The drug resin complexes were prepared by batch process by taking drug to resin ratios of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4. The techniques of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared...

Nutritional assessment and dietary advice are fundamental to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patient management and all patients should have access to a dietitian. Newly diagnosed patients often think that their pre-illness diet has contributed to the development of their IBD. However, epidemiological evidence to support diet as a risk factor is lacking. How the diet contributes to the gastroi...

Throughout their history, humans have devised a number of approaches and strategies to reducing (perceived) uncertainty or the psychological impacts of uncertainty, and to function and thrive in a partially unknown world. A certain world begets certain ‘best strategies’ for survival; an uncertain world necessitates a larger portfolio of options and approaches, and means for choosing among them....

Bacterial sepsis is characterized by a rapid increase in the expression of inflammatory mediators to initiate the acute phase response in liver. Inflammatory mediator release is counterbalanced by the coordinated expression of anti-inflammatory molecules such as interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL1-Ra) through time. This study determined whether activation of pregnane X receptor (PXR, NR1I2) ...

Objective To determine the expression and clinical significance of plasma miR-335 in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and investigate its association with calmodulin (CaM) expression. Methods Plasma miR-335 and CaM expression levels in patients with AIS and healthy controls were examined. Correlations between miR-335, CaM, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores were also...
