OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of production of ibuprofen pellets with high amount of rate retarding polymer by aid of PEG400 as plasticizer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Polyethylene glycol (PEG400) in concentrations of 1, 3 or 5% w/w with respect to Eudragit RL was used in production of pellets containing 60% ibuprofen and 40% excipient (2% polyvinylpyrrolidone...

The effect of dosing vehicle excipients such as PEG400, propylene glycol, Tween 80, and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin on the accuracy of LC/MS measurements used in pharmacokinetic studies is examined. Using PEG400 as a probe compound, the concentration-time profile of the excipient in plasma from rats dosed both orally and intravenously is determined. These excipient plasma concentrations can...

In this study, the ultrafiltration membrane for humic substance removal was prepared by blending polysulfone with a high concentration of PEG400 as additives. The influences of the additive to the fouling resistance capability and humic substances rejection of the polysulfone membrane were investigated. The addition of 35%wt of PEG400 concentration improved the pure water flux up to 200, but re...

The effect of NiO nanoparticles on the rheological and volumetric properties of dilute solutions of starch-NaOH-H2O, PEG400-PEG2000 and PEG400-PEG6000 were investigated. Achieve this aim requires to prepare the stable nanofluids. Therefore, nanoparticles of NiO were added to these solutions and dispersed by a shaker and an ultrasonic bath for making the homogeneous nanofluids. The UV-Vis spectr...

Aldehydes, ketones and imines were readily reduced by sodium borohydride, with the participation of a small amount of water, in good to excellent yields using PEG400 as catalyst in the absence of organic solvents.  2005 Society of Chemical Industry

Aim: The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate liquisolid compact system of carvedilol to give increased dissolution rate of drug by utilizing PEG400 as the non-volatile liquid vehicle. Materials and Methods: The liquisolid tablets formulated with PEG400 at different concentrations. The suitable analytical method based on UV-visible spectrophotometer was developed for carvedilol. Resu...

The catalytic activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes is known to be affected by presence of organic solvents in in vitro assays. However, these effects tend to be variable and depend on the substrate and CYP450 isoform in question. In the present study, we have investigated effect of ten water miscible organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, acetone, acetonitrile, dimethylsulph...
