Impaired wound healing is an encumbering public health issue that increases the demand for developing new therapies in order to minimize costs and enhance treatment efficacy. Available conventional are still unable maximize their potential penetrating skin at target site accelerating process. Nanotechnology exhibits excellent opportunity enrich currently available medical treatments, standard c...

Pentabenzensulfonate (QPBS), a potential prodrug for quercetin, was designed and synthesized in high yield. It possesses better physical properties such as solubility, lipid/water partition coefficient, LogP, and hydrolysis kinetics than its original form. The LogP value (2.04) and the half-life of the hydrolysis value (3.85 h) show that oral bioavailability is improved evidently compared with ...

We derive a new density-biased Monte Carlo technique which preserves detailed balance and improves the convergence of grand-canonical simulations of a species with a strong preference for an interfacial region as compared to the bulk. This density-biasing technique is applied to the solubility of "alcohol" molecules in a mesoscopic model of the lipid bilayer, a system which has anesthetic impli...

When nalbuphine is added as an adjuvant to intrathecal bupivacaine, it has potential to provide good intraoperative and post operative analgesia with decreased incidence of μ receptor side effectslike respiratory depression [4]. The side effects of nalbuphine are like dizziness, bradycardia, nausea, vomiting, pruritis, urinary retention and sedation. Nalbuphine has short duration of action due ...

Perhaps 5%-10% of proteins bind to membranes via a covalently attached lipid. Posttranslational attachment of fatty acids such as myristate occurs on a variety of viral and cellular proteins. High-resolution information about the nature of lipidated proteins is remarkably sparse, often because of solubility problems caused by the exposed fatty acids. Reverse micelle encapsulation is used here t...

The objective of this study is to develop suitable formulations to improve the dissolution rate of poorly water soluble drugs. We selected lipid-based formulation as a drug carrier and modified the surface using positively charged chitosan derivative (HTCC) to increase its water solubility and bioavailability. Chitosan and HTCC-coated lipid particles had higher zeta-potential values than uncoat...

Cholesterol gallstone disease, so common in the western world, ‘has consider&le medical and economic importance. Under normal physiological conditions, cholesterol is held in solution in the bile. If the solubility of cholesterol in bile is changed, cholesterol crystals will precipitate and lead to the formation of gallstones. The solubility of cholesterol in bile depends on three major lipid c...
