The objective of this study was to prepare PLGA nanoparticles of Carvedilol that will improve the bioavailability of Carvedilol and sustain the release to reduce the initial hypotensive peak and to prolong the antihypertensive effect of the drug. Carvedilol encapsulated by Nanoprecipitation method using PLGA and Pluronic F-68.Prepared nanoparticles were examined for physicochemical characterist...

The purpose of this study was to find an artificial neural networks model for determining major factors impacting the stability of an acetaminophen nanosuspansion that was prepared using nanoprecipitation in microfluidic reactors. Four variables, namely concentration of surfactant, solvent and antisolvent flow rate and solvent temperature were used as input variables and time of sedimentation o...

The ability to create aqueous suspended stable nanoparticles of the hydrophobic homopolymer poly(ϵ-caprolactone) end-functionalized with coumarin moieties (CPCL) is demonstrated. Nanoparticles of CPCL are prepared in a continuous manner using nanoprecipitation. The resulting nanoparticles are spherical in morphology, about 40 nm in diameter, and possess a narrow size distribution and excellent ...

Ostwald ripening, the interfacial-energy-driven dissolution and reprecipitation of solutes, becomes an increasingly significant problem for nanoparticle formulations. We present the first quantitative study of Ostwald ripening for nanoparticle dispersions. The Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner (LSW) theory of particle growth driven by diffusion is applied to study -carotene nanoparticles with sizes of O ...

Tumor metastases occur through both the cardiovascular and lymphatic circulations. However, the majority of nanoparticle biodistribution studies have been focused on the cardiovascular circulation. In this study, we report the formulation of Cy5-labeled polylactide (Cy5-PLA) nanoparticles with controlled size and surface features and the subsequent evaluation of their lymphatic biodistribution....

In the present study, a pH sensitive nanogel platform for gene delivery was developed. The cationic nanogels based on dendritic polyglycerol (dPG) and low molecular weight polyethylenimine units were able to encapsulate siRNA during the manufacturing process. The thiol-Michael nanoprecipitation method, which operates under mild conditions and did not require any catalyst or surfactant, was used...

The effects of blend weight ratio and polyester block length of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly( d, l-lactide) (MPEG- b-PDLL)/methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)- b-poly(ϵ-caprolactone) (MPEG- b-PCL) blends on nanoparticle characteristics and drug release behaviors were evaluated. The blend nanoparticles were prepared by nanoprecipitation method for controlled release of a poorly water-soluble m...

In this paper we have reported development of suitable dosage form for novel curcumin analogue synthesized in our laboratory. The work involves preformulation studies followed by preparation and optimization non-aqueous gel loaded (CA-NP) nanoparticle gel. formulated gels were observed visually clarity, homogeneity, phase separation. They tested their appearance presence any aggregates. Curcumi...
