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 plantation, evolvement, phytochemical, pharmaceutical and pharmacological properties of Plantago ovata have been reviewed to reconnoiter the plant’s diverse properties. P. belonging family Plantaginaceae is a perennial plant native Mediterranean area, particularly Southern Europe, North Africa West Asia. It has variety medicinal effects as it frequently employed in medications for its featu...

Manipulation of DNA fibers is very useful technique for gene analysis such as Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH). In conventional methods for manipulation of DNA fibers, FISH efficiency often decreases due to the tight adhesion between DNA fibers and substrates. In this paper, we propose a micro glass-phonorecord with concentric grooves for suspending DNA fibers with centrifugal force. As...

A comprehensive study of the AC and DC electrokinetic properties of submicrometre latex particles as a function of particle size and suspending medium conductivity and viscosity is presented. Electrophoretic mobility and dielectrophoretic cross-over results were measured for particle diameters ranging from 44 to 2000 nm. The zeta potentials of the particles were calculated from the electrophore...

PURPOSE The optimal delivery medium for esomeprazole magnesium enteric-coated pellets dispersed in various concentrations of Ora-Plus suspension through commonly used nasogastric and gastrostomy tubes using a previously used standardized in vitro protocol was studied. METHODS The study was conducted in two phases. In phase A, 60 size 14 French nasogastric tubes were used to compare esomeprazo...

The following bacteria were employed as test organisms: Lactobacillus fermenti strain 69L-3, Escherichia coli strain 69L-15, and Serratia marcescens strain ATCC 274. They were cultivated as outlined previously (Major et al., 1955). Broth cultures of the organisms were centrifuged, the spent broth pipetted off, the cells resuspended in a minimal amount of fresh broth, and then the suspension dil...
