microparticles offer various significant advantages as drug delivery systems, including: (i) an effective protection of the encapsulated active agent against (e.g. enzymatic) degradation, (ii) the possibility to accurately control the release rate of the incorporated drug over periods of hours to months, (iii) an easy administration (compared to alternative parenteral controlled release dosage ...

objective(s): in this research, zeolite x and zeolite y were used as vehicle to prepare intestine targeted oral delivery systems of indomethacin and ibuprofen. materials and methods: a soaking procedure was implemented to encapsulate indomethacin or ibuprofen within synthetic zeolites. gravimetric methods and ir spectra of prepared formulations were used to assess drug loading efficiencies into...

objective(s): in a new approach, following the development in metal oxide chemistry, the ibuprofen as low water soluble nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug diffused into synthetic sol-gel derived nano porous g-alumina by an impregnation method in order to increase the solubility and control the drug release in physiological environment. methods: sol-gel method was utilized for the fabrication o...

in the present study, floating drug delivery beads (fdds) were prepared with sodium alginate/ starch blend as a matrix, sodium hydrogen carbonate as a pore forming agent, methyl cellulose as a binder and barium chloride solution as a hardening agent. in order to prepare the beads with different porosity and morphology the ratio between pore forming agent to polymer blend and ratio of the consti...

to answer challenge of targeted and controlled drug release in oral delivery various materials were studied by different methods. in the present paper, controlled metal based drug (pd(ii) complex) release manner of β‑lactoglobulin (β-lg) nanoparticles was investigated using mathematical drug release model in order to design and production of a new oral drug delivery system for gastrointestinal ...

microspheres formulated from poly (d,l-lactic-co-glycolide) (plga), a biodegradable polymer, have been extensively evaluated as a drug delivery system. in this study, the preparation, characterization and drug release properties of the plga microspheres were evaluated. simvastatin (sim)-loaded plga microspheres were prepared by oil-in-water emulsion/solvent evaporation method. the microspheres ...

a controlled release matrix formulation for mesalamine was designed and developed to achieve a 24 h release profile. using compritol 888 ato (glyceryl behenate) as an inert matrix-forming agent to control the release of mesalamine, formulation granules containing the solid dispersions were investigated. pectin, a polysaccharide, was used as bacterial dependent polymer for colon targeting. the m...
