combination formulations of liposomes with collagen have been previously introduced as a means of obtaining more stable and less permeable liposomes. in this study, the effect of aqueous solutions of the collagen products collapur? (col) and collapuron-dak? (cold) from henkle co., on the release rate of sodium chromate (chr) as a water-soluble model drug from stable plurilamellar vesicles (splv...

the aim of this investigation was to design and develop nanoemulsions (nes) as novel ophthalmic delivery systems for brinzolamide (bzd). phase behavior of quaternary systems composed of triacetin and capryoltm 90 (selected oils, screened through the solubility studies), various surfactants (namely, cremophor rh 40, brij 35, labrasol and tyloxapol), transcutol p (as co-surfactant) and water a...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of additives, poly(ethylene glycol) (peg) 1450, poloxamer 407, polyvinyl alcohol (pva) and sodium chloride in order to improve physico-chemical characteristics, encapsulation efficiency and in vitro release of bovine serum albumin, form poly(d,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (plga) microparticles prepared by the w/o/w solvent evaporation method...

the present study concerned with the development and characterization of metronidazole microcapsules prepared by thermal change method using different ratios (1:1, 1:2 and 1:4) of ethyl cellulose in order to select the best microcapsule formulation with a good encapsulation efficiency and drug release profile. the obtained microcapsules were discrete, spherical with free flowing properties and ...

The ability to obtain relevant information in a timely and cost efficient manner is central to the effective performance of most tasks in our society. The widespread availability of computer-based information brokers will provide that ability to large communities by significantly facilitating effective access to the broad range of information that is rapidly becoming available on the Internet. ...

background microencapsulation is a useful method to prolong a drug release from dosage forms and to reduce its adverse effect (1) among various available methods. the microencapsulation of hydrophilic active ingredients requires the use of a polar dispersing phase such as a mineral oil. acetone/paraffin systems are conventionally used. objectives the current study aimed to investigate two diffe...

the purpose of the present study was to develop glipizide controlled release nanoparticles using alginate and chitosan thorough ionotropic controlled gelation method. glipizide is a frequently prescribed second generation sulfonylurea which lowers the blood glucose in type-two diabetics. quick absorption of the drug from the gastrointestinal tract along with short half- life of elimination make...
