an oral suspension could a suitable dosage form for the geriatric patients. the calcium alginate coated ion exchange resinate of propranolol hydrochloride were prepared using amberlite ir-120 by solvent evaporation. microcapsules of propranolol hydrochloride resinate were prepared by solvent evaporation technique,the suspensions were prepared by using deionised water as the vehicle. methyl cell...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the potential of nanoemulsion formulation for topical delivery of clobetasol propionate (cp) using algal oil (containing omega-3 fatty acids) as the oil phase. cp has anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and antiproliferative activities. however, its clinical use is restricted to some extent due to its poor permeability across the skin. algal oil w...

As part of the certification campaign of three candidate reference materials for the determination of aflatoxin M1 (AfM1) in whole milk powders, homogeneity, short- and long-term stability tests of naturally contaminated milk powders have been performed. The homogeneity of two AfM1-contaminated milk powders was studied by taking samples at regular intervals of the filling sequences and analysin...

to resolve handling problem of nanoparticles, due to their small size, a new methodology of electro-spraying and freeze-drying was developed for colloidal nanoparticles of silica and titania to transform them to solid macro-scale nanoparticle assemblies.  the assemblies were then redispersed in an aqueous system to investigate the effect of formulation of original solutions and the process para...

There is considerable interest in using nano-emulsions (NEs) as delivery systems for lipophilicbioactive ingredients. In this study, the influence of G on the properties of vitamin E (VE) enriched NEsprepared using spontaneous emulsification (SE) method, were investigated. The particle size and optical clarityof the NEs depended strongly on the co-solvent presence, absence, an...

Essential oil of Citrus family plant is known to have repellent effect against mosquito. Unfortunately, due to its high volatility effect, its repellency effect was compromised. The incorporation of essential oil in a microencapsulation formulation has been shown to help improve the stability and potency of the repellent. In this study, Citrus grandis peel oil (CGPO) was encapsulated by using t...

Estimates of the demand for money provide important foundations for monetary policy setting but if the estimation technique does not explicitly account for structural changes then such estimates will be biased. This paper presents an investigation into the level and stability of money demand (M1) for Australia and New Zealand over the 1960-2009 period and demonstrates that both countries experi...

Integrally-skinned asymmetric Polyetherimide/Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PEI/PVA) hollow fber membranes for pervaporation dehydration were fabricated by non-solvent induced phase inversion. PVA inside the PEI matrix could be crosslinked to provide membrane performance stability during long term operation. The effects of different PEI/PVA blend ratio, external coagulant type and...

The present study reports formulation of a traditionally used poly herbal product for wound healing and its chromatographic analysis by HPTLC. Herbal therapy was the common treatment prescribed by Iranian physicians for wound healing. “Zemad”, the most ancient pharmaceutical dosage form used in the Iranian Traditional Medicine (ITM) for skin diseases. In this study, a poly herbal paste (PHP) wi...
