Sustained-release of buspirone HCl (BUH) was attempted by spray drying after dissolving in two commercially available aqueous polymeric dispersions (Eudragit RS 30 D or Kollicoat SR 30 D) at five different drug:polymer ratios (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:6 and 1:9). The produced spray-dried agglomerates were evaluated in terms of their particle size and morphology, production yield, encapsulation efficien...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Both adhesive and nonabrasive embolic agents are available for arteriovenous malformation (AVM) embolization. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a novel ethanol-based nonadhesive liquid embolic material in a swine AVM model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eudragit (copolymer of methyl and butyl methacrylate and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) was dissolved in 50% ethanol...

Purpose: To study the release behaviour of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablet matrices prepared with different polymers in dissolution media pH. Methods: Different formulations slow-release matrix tablets were polymers, namely, ethyl cellulose (Etc), hydroxyethyl (Hec), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (Hpc), and Eudragit® L-100 (Eud) using embedding technique. The characterized studies their prof...

Abstract: Aim: The goal of this study was to develop colon-targeted nanoparticulate systems the anti-inflammatory agent Quercetin (QU) and evaluate formulation for various parameters that would allow active ingredient be released at a predetermined time location with better pharmaceutical therapeutic properties. Materials Methods: Quercetin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles were formulated purpose ...

Casein hydrolysis was carried out in PEG-dextran two-phase system by using a-chymotrypsin immobilized on a water soluble polymer Eudragit S-100. This biocatalyst along with the substrate casein was predominantly found to partition into the PEG phase. Under these optimized conditions, the product was found to partition (84%) in the dextran phase. Removal of dextran phase at an appropriate time i...

In the present investigation, pulsatile release beads were prepared by ionic gelation technique. Lornoxicam dual cross-linked beads were prepared by dropping dispersed phase of lornoxicam, pectin, and sodium alginate into the dispersion phase of different concentrations of calcium chloride solution followed by aluminium chloride solution. The formulated beads were further coated by Eudragit L &...

Taste masked microspheres of ornidazole were prepared using amino alkyl methacrylate copolymers (Eudragit E-100) by solvent evaporation technique. Taste assessment of these microspheres was done by both spectrophotometric taste evaluation technique and panel testing. Compressed tablets of taste masked ornidazole microspheres which rapidly disintegrated in the oral cavity were prepared using mic...

Objective(s): Ketotifen fumarate (KF) is a selective and noncompetitive histamine antagonist (H1-receptor) that is used topically in the treatment of allergic conditions of rhinitis and conjunctivitis. The aim of this study was to formulate and improve an ophthalmic delivery system of KF.Ocular nanoparticles were prepared with the objective of reducing the frequency of administration and obtain...

Buccal mucoadhesive systems among novel drug delivery systems have attracted great attention in recent years due to their ability to adhere and remain on the oral mucosa and to release their drug content gradually. Buccal mucoadhesive films can improve the drug therapeutic effect by enhancement of drug absorption through oral mucosa increasing the drug bioavailability via reducing the hepatic f...
