Preparation of inclusion complex of piroxicam with cyclodextrin by using supercritical carbon dioxide

Preparation of Inclusion Complex of Piroxicam with Cyclodextrin by Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Forming complexes with cyclodextrins can enhance the dissolution rate, the stability, the solubility and the bioavailability of a drug. In this work, piroxicam/β-cyclodextrin complexes were prepared at solid state by means of supercritical carbon dioxide. The influence of temperature, residence time, water content and a ternary agent, L-lysine, were studied. The complex was characterized by Dif...

Preparation of PMMA/MWNTs Nanocomposite Microcellular Foams by In-situ Generation of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Nanocomposites containing poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and surface functionalized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWNTs) were synthesized. The dispersion of MWNTs in PMMA was characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).The synthesized nanocomposites were successfully foamed using a simple method based on the in-situ generation of supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2</sub...

Physicochemical properties of antifungal drug-cyclodextrin complexes prepared by supercritical carbon dioxide and by conventional techniques.

Antifungal drugs are the most common systemic drugs used for the treatment of oropharyngeal candidiasis, which is the first symptom of HIV infection. However, the efficacy and bioavailability of these drugs have been limited by their poor aqueous solubility and dissolution rate. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different preparation methods (i.e. kneading, coeva...

Vetiver Oil Extraction Optimization Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Fluid

Measurement and Modeling of Acridine Solubility in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Supercritical carbon dioxide has gained increasing attention in food and pharmaceutical processing owing to the fact that it is environmentally inexpensive, not flammable, essentially non-toxic, and it has a convenient critical point. Also, it has been attracting much attention in many fields, such as extraction of sensitive materials and pharmaceutical processing and polymerization processes. ...
