An attempt was made to formulate Buccal patches of Isoxsuprine hydrochloride, a potent and long acting vasodilator and uterine suppressant , by using Hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose(HPMC), Polyvinyl pyrolidone K-30 (PVP K-30) and Hydroxyl ethyl cellulose (HEC). Twelve batches of buccal patches were prepared by solvent casting technique in which the best formulation was found out. The polymers ...

The purpose of present investigation was to develop and optimize bucco mucoadhesive bilayered tablets of Propranolol hydrochloride (PrHCL) using the bioadhesive polymers hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K4M), xanthan gum (XG) and acrypol 934P (AL-P) individually and in combination along with ethyl cellulose (EC) as an impermeable backing layer. The 3 full factorial design was employed by ...

The main objective of the current study was to formulate poorly water soluble drug Spirinolactone by using solid dispersion technique in order to achieve a better dissolution rate which would further help in enhancing oral bioavailability. Solid dispersions were prepared using two methods; solvent method and fusion method. Solid dispersion was prepared by using polymers, such as Hydroxy propyly...

The phenol of 1-(3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propyl)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)thiourea was selectively carbon-11 labelled to generate [11C]PBD150 in 7.3% yield from [11C]methyl triflate (non-decay corrected; radiochemical purity ≥95%, specific activity = 5.7 Ci/µmol, n=5). Evaluation of [11C]PBD150 by small animal PET imaging (mouse and rat) determined it does not permeate the blood brain barrier, ...

in this research, after carrying out chemical tests measuring the moisture, protein and ash contents on rice flour according to standard methods, gluten- free breads were prepared from rice flour combined with 0.5% carboxy methyl cellulose (cmc) and 1% -κcarrageenan gum. a sample lacking gum was also produced as control. rice breads (with gum and without gum) were then produced by semi-industri...

novel citric acid modified starch-carboxy methyl cellulose (cmc) -montmorillonite (mmt) bionanocomposite films were prepared by casting method and the effect of mmt on the structural and physical properties of the starch-cmc biocomposites was studied. x-ray diffraction test showed thatstrong polar interactions between the hydroxyl groups present in the starch and cmc chains and in the silicate ...

The present work describes the formulation development of ophthalmic in situ gelling system using thermo-reversible gelling polymer, i.e. Pluronic F 127 (PF127). Because of high concentration (20 to 25%w/v) of this polymer required for in situ gelation causes irritation to the eye. So, to reduce this concentration, an attempt was made to combine the PF127 with other polymers like hydroxy propyl...

Solubility is an important physicochemical factor affecting absorption of drug and there by its therapeutic effect. About 40% of newly discovered drugs are lipophilic and failed to reach market due to their poor water solubility. Solid dispersions proved to have tremendous potential for improving drug solubility. Orlistat is a poor water soluble substance possessing anti-obesity property; in th...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of transepithelial corneal collagen crosslinking (TE-CXL) in patients with progressive keratoconus. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a prospective interventional consecutive study carried out on 30 eyes of 18 patients with progressive keratoconus who underwent TE-CLX using both ParaCel™ (riboflavin 0.25%, hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose, NaCl, ethylenediaminetetra...
