objective(s):drug delivery through the skin can transfer therapeutic levels of drugs for pharmacological effects. analgesics such as nsaids have gastrointestinal side effects and topical dosage forms of these drugs are mainly preferred, especially for local pains. meloxicam is one of nsaids with no topical form in the market. in this research, we attempted to quantify the skin permeation of a m...

• Gas and vapour transport in Poly(vinyl alcohol)/[EMIM][DCA] blend membranes are studied. CO 2 is highly pressure-dependent at low pressure, suggesting facilitated to play a role. Permeability, solubility diffusivity follow-Arrhenius-type temperature dependence. Humidity the gas feed improves /CH 4 mixed separation performance. Membrane technology rapidly emerging as an alternative traditional...

Permeation tubes are convenient analyte sources for generating standard gas mixtures (containing, in particular, volatile organic compounds) used in the calibration of analytical instruments. For small permeation rates, corresponding to trace levels of analytes, the calibration of permeation tubes is time-consuming. The use of thermogravimetry as a means to measure rapidly the weight loss at co...

objective (s): transdermal preparations for testosterone are becoming popular because of their unique advantages such as avoidance of first-pass effect, convenience, improved bioavailability, and reduction of systemic side effects. a novel testosterone transdermal delivery system (tdds) was developed using a palm oil base called hamintm (a commercial product) and tested using in vitro and in vi...

By using molecular dynamics simulation, the dynamic behaviors of particle permeation through a four-helix-bundle model channel are studied. The interior cavity of the four-helix-bundle provides the "routes" for particle permeation. The main structural properties of the model channel are similar to those that appear in natural four-helix-bundle proteins. It is found that the interior structure o...

Selected new fluorogenic probes that interact in different ways with Hg and MeHg have been prepared and used for the chemical speciation of both cations in aqueous solution as well as in HEK293 cells. The best selective speciation of Hg and MeHg has been achieved by in vitro approaches based on fluorogenic probes supported in cultured cells, due to the particular sensitivity of the HEK293 cells...
