BACKGROUND Numerous plants from have been investigated due to their anti-inflammatory activity and, among then, extracts or components of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), sources of polyphenolic compounds. 6-gingerol from ginger rhizome and carnosic acid and carnosol from rosemary leaves present anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activitie...

The temperature-induced structural changes and thermodynamics of ionic microgels based on poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) networks bonded with poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(propylene oxide)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) (Pluronic) copolymers have been studied by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), ultra-small-angle neutron scattering (USANS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and equili...

this review presents a brief outline of our current knowledge of the structure and chemical composition of the outer membrane vesicles (omvs), originating from the surface of gram negative bacteria including their outer membrane proteins and lipopolysaccharides. moreover, the functional roles and applications of omvs in medical research such as omv-based vaccines, omv adjuvants properties, omv ...

objective(s): in this research, zeolite x and zeolite y were used as vehicle to prepare intestine targeted oral delivery systems of indomethacin and ibuprofen. materials and methods: a soaking procedure was implemented to encapsulate indomethacin or ibuprofen within synthetic zeolites. gravimetric methods and ir spectra of prepared formulations were used to assess drug loading efficiencies into...

the present investigation was focused to formulate semi-solid capsules (sscs) of hydrophobic drug telmisartan (tlms) by encapsulating semi-solid matrix of its solid dispersion (sd) in hpmc capsules. the combinational approach was used to reduce the lag time in drug release and improvise its dissolution. sds of tlms was prepared using hot fusion method by varying the combinations of pluronic-f68...

The current paper reports the production of polymeric micelles (PMs), based on pluronic block-copolymers, as drug carriers, precisely controlling the cellular delivery of drugs with various physico-chemical characteristics. PMs were produced with a microfluidic platform to exploit further control on the size characteristic of the PMs. PMs were designed for the co-delivery of dexamethasone (Dex)...
