the aim of this study was to investigate the processing methods of sorghum grain and diet formulation on performance and nutrients digestibility in broilers. three hundred and twenty chicks at eight day of age were allotted into eight groups of four replicate with ten chicks per replicate. this research was conducted as completely randomized design arranged in a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial experiment u...

This paper highlights the importance of lipid-based colloidal carriers and their pharmaceutical implications in the delivery of peptides and proteins for oral and parenteral administration. There are several examples of biomacromolecules used nowadays in the therapeutics, which are promising candidates to be delivered by means of liposomes and lipid nanoparticles, such as solid lipid nanopartic...

A novel series of cationic amphiphiles based on dialkyl glutamides with cationic pyridinium head group were synthesized as potential gene delivery agents. Four cationic lipids with glutamide as linker and varying chain lengths were tested for their transfection efficiency in three cell lines. The DNA-lipid complexes were characterized for their ability to bind to DNA, protection from nuclease d...

This study aimed to prepare the aminoclay-lipid hybrid composite to enhance the drug release and improve the oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble fenofibrate. Antisolvent precipitation coupled with an immediate freeze-drying method was adopted to incorporate fenofibrate into aminoclay-lipid hybrid composite (ALC). The optimal composition of the ALC formulation was determined as the rati...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to identify the critical formulation parameters controlling distribution and function for the rectal administration of microbicides in humans. Four placebo formulations were designed with a wide range of hydrophilic characteristics (aqueous to lipid) and rheological properties (Newtonian, shear thinning, thermal sensitive and thixotropic). Aqueous formu...

This work is an attempt to give an overview of the clinical data available on lipid based formulations. Lipid and surfactant based formulations are recognized as a feasible approach to improve bioavailability of poorly soluble compounds. However not many clinical studies have been published so far. Several drug products intended for oral administration have been marketed utilizing lipid and sur...
