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 ...

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 ...

objective(s) the aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate microencapsulated controlled release preparations of theophylline using ethylcellulose as the retardant material with high entrapment efficiency. materials and methods microspheres were prepared by water-in-oil-in-oil (w/o1/o2) emulsion-solvent diffusion (esd). a mixed solvent system consisting of acetonitrile and dichloromethane ...

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...

Purpose: To prepare and evaluate spherical agglomerates of pioglitazone hydrochloride (PGH) for direct compression with different additives. Method: Spherical agglomerates of pioglitazone hydrochloride were prepared by emulsion solvent diffusion method with and without additives (polyethylene glycol 6000, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, β cyclodextrin, Eudragit RS100, low acyl gellan gum and xanthan gum...

Background: Intravenous drug delivery is an advantageous choice for rapid administration, immediate drug effect, and avoidance of first-pass metabolism in oral drug delivery. In this study, the synthesis, formulation, and characterization of atorvastatin-loaded polyurethane (PU) nanoparticles were investigated for intravenous route of administration. Method: First, PU was synthesized and charac...

The present investigation involves formulation and evaluation of microspheres with Repaglinide as model drug for prolongation of drug release time. An attempt was made to prepare microspheres of Repaglinide by Quasi emulsion solvent diffusion technique, with a view to deliver the drug at sustained or controlled manner in gastrointestinal tract and consequently into systemic circulation. The mic...

Monomethoxypoly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(DL-lactide) copolymer (PELA) microparticles loading lysozyme were prepared through a modified W/O/W double emulsion-solvent diffusion method using ethyl acetate (EA) as organic solvent. The modified process was divided into five steps: (1) primary emulsification (W1/O), (2) re-emulsification (W1/O/W2), (3) pre-solidification, (4) solidification and (5) pu...
