Nonionic Surfactant Vesicles in Ocular Delivery: Innovative Approaches and Perspectives
With the recent advancement in the field of ocular therapy, drug delivery approaches have been elevated to a new concept in terms of nonionic surfactant vesicles (NSVs), that is, the ability to deliver the therapeutic agent to a patient in a staggered profile. However the major drawbacks of the conventional drug delivery system like lacking of permeability through ocular barrier and poor bioava...
متن کاملStudy of the Cloud Point of Nonionic Surfactant and Nonionic-cationic Surfactant Mixture: Effect of Electrolytes
Clouding phenomenon generally occurs with nonionic surfactants when the temperature of the system is raised to a certain value. This critical temperature is termed the cloud point (CP). The aqueous solutions of nonionic surfactants show complex phase behaviour including liquid-liquid phase separation at this temperature. The cloud point of aqueous surfactant solutions is influenced by the prese...
متن کاملDevelopment of Targeted Nonionic Surfactant Vesicles for Treatment of Vascular Injury
Inflammatory processes play a crucial role in cardiovascular injury and disease. Inflamed endothelial cells express adhesion molecules which are potential therapeutic delivery targets for reducing or disrupting inflammation. We have developed non-ionic surfactant vesicles (niosomes) that are specifically targeted to inflamed vascular cells. Niosomes are self assembly vesicles that can encapsula...
متن کاملFormulation and Characterization of Drug Loaded Nonionic Surfactant Vesicles (Niosomes) for Oral Bioavailability Enhancement
Nonionic surfactant vesicles (niosomes) were formulated with an aim of enhancing the oral bioavailability of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), an anti-HIV drug. Niosomes were formulated by conventional thin film hydration technique with different molar ratios of surfactant, cholesterol, and dicetyl phosphate. The formulated niosomes were found spherical in shape, ranging from 2.95 μm to 10.9...
متن کاملEffect of nonionic surfactant additives on the performance of nanofluid in the heat exchanger
A nanofluid is mixture of nano sized particles and a base fluid. This paper investigates by using laboratory based double pipe heat exchanger model, the performance of nanofluid containing about 48.46nm particle size nanoparticles (ZnO) without or with addition of nonionic surfactant Rokanol K7 (500ppm) into the base fluid double distilled water to prepared three different concentrations 1.0%,...
