in the present investigation an attempt has been made to increase therapeutic efficacy, to reduce frequency of administration and to improve patient compliance by developing a sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate. sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate were developed by using different drug: polymer ratios, such in f1 (1:0.75), f2 (1:1), f3 (1:1.5),...

objective(s) the aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate microencapsulated controlled release preparations of theophylline using ethylcellulose as the retardant material with high entrapment efficiency. materials and methods microspheres were prepared by water-in-oil-in-oil (w/o1/o2) emulsion-solvent diffusion (esd). a mixed solvent system consisting of acetonitrile and dichloromethane ...

The present study deals with development of a floating in-situ gel of the narrow absorption window drug baclofen. Sodium alginate-based in-situ gelling systems were prepared by dissolving various concentrations of sodium alginate in deionized water, to which varying concentrations of drug and calcium bicarbonate were added. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scannin...

Objective N-octyl-N '- (2-carboxycyclohexanecarbonyl) -chitosan derivative (OCCC) was successfully synthesized. The analysis of the chitosan by infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and like used to verify whether synthesis successful. To construct characterize nanoparticles with bovine serum albumin as model drug. transmission electron microscopy (TEM), encapsulation e...

the present investigation was focused to formulate semi-solid capsules (sscs) of hydrophobic drug telmisartan (tlms) by encapsulating semi-solid matrix of its solid dispersion (sd) in hpmc capsules. the combinational approach was used to reduce the lag time in drug release and improvise its dissolution. sds of tlms was prepared using hot fusion method by varying the combinations of pluronic-f68...

during last two decades, polysaccharides such as alginate (alg) alone and in combination with other biopolymers are widely used in vaccine and drug delivery systems. the aim of the present work was to investigate the potential utility of microparticles made of alginate (alg) as new vehicles for improving nasal vaccine delivery. for this purpose, diphtheria toxoid (dt) was chosen as a model anti...

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...

   The aim of the present study was to develop a single unit, site-specific matrix tablets of aceclofenac allowing targeted drug release in the colon with a microbially degradable polymeric carrier, chondroitin suphate (CS) and to coat the optimized batches with a pH dependent polymeric. The tablets were prepared by wet granulation method using starch mucilage as a binding agent and HPMC K-100 ...

In the present study, a nanoporous metal organic framework (MOF) based on iron metal and amino terephthalate ligand MIL-101-NH2-Fe has been used as a carrier for loading and in vitro release of 5-flurouracil (5-FU) anticancer drug. The 5-FU drug loaded MOF was 13 wt % by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The 5-FU release was monitored under physiological condition at 37°C, pH 7.4 in simul...
