BACKGROUND Ursolic acid (UA) is a promising molecule with anti-inflammatory, analgesic and potential anti-arthritic activity. METHODS This study was undertaken to make formulation and evaluation of Ocimum sanctum L. leaf extract (OLE) loaded nano-structured lipid carriers (OLE-NLCs) for improved transdermal delivery of UA. Different surfactants, solid lipids and liquid lipids were used for th...

The objective of the existing research was formulation development and preparation microemulsion loaded emulgel in augmenting topical delivery Lornoxicam. Emulsion gel combined are recognized as Emulgels. Gelling agents Carbopol 940, 974, 980 were used to formulating Lornoxicam emulgel. drug release from determined depending on different gelling agents. Clove oil for internal phase Polyethylene...

Background: Psoriasis is a widespread chronic disease affecting 1-3% of total population and in most cases, treated by topical application corticosteroids. Though, the route very demanding because physicochemical nature diseased stratum corneum so no, single treatment works for every patient. The oral evidence harsh side effects systemic immunosuppression which can be avoided route. Objectives:...

Due to their porous structure, aqueous environment and dietary fiber nature arabinoxylan (AX) gels could have potential applications for colon-specific therapeutic molecule delivery. In addition, prebiotic and health related effects of AX have been previously demonstrated. It has been also reported that cross-linked AX can be degraded by bacteria from the intestinal microbiota. However, AX gels...

In an attempt to develop a probiotic formulation for poultry feed, a number of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from chicken intestinal specimens and a series of in vitro experiments were performed to evaluate their efficacy as a potential probiotic candidate. A total of 650 LAB strains were isolated and screened for their antagonistic potential against each other. Among all the isolate...

The anti-inflammatory activity of Achillea and Ruscus extracts was studied in comparison with diclofenac sodium topical gel (diclosal Emulgel), using the carrageenan induced paw edema model in Albino rats. Gel formulation was prepared containing 6% of each extract in gel base, namely sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC). The kinetics of drug release from the prepared formulation was studied se...
