in this study the application of zno nanoparticles to uv photocatalytic degradation of nonionic surfactanttriton x-100 in aqueous media was investigated. the affecting factors on the photodegradation such as tritonx-100 initial concentration, nanocatalyst weight, ph, temperature and other parameters were studied anddescribed in details. the degradation rate was found to be strongly influenced b...

We demonstrate the use of modeling and simulation to investigate bioequivalence (BE) concerns raised about generic warfarin products. To test the hypothesis that the loss of isopropyl alcohol and slow dissolution in acidic pH has significant impact on the pharmacokinetics of warfarin sodium tablets, we conducted physiologically based pharmacokinetic absorption modeling and simulation using form...

Carbamazepine belongs to the class II biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) which is characterized by a high per-oral dose, a low aqueous solubility and a high membrane permeability. The bioavailability of such a drug is limited by the dissolution rate. In order to increase the drug dissolution, its solid dispersions were prepared by the cogrinding technique using an insoluble but highl...

Phosphate-based glass (P-glass) and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) composites were fabricated in a sheet form by solvent extraction and thermal pressing methods, and the antibiotic drug Vancomycin was loaded within the composites for use as a hard-tissue regenerative. The degradation and drug-release rate of the composites in vitro were tailored by modifying the glass composition: 0.45 P(2)O(...

Objective(s) Ibuprofen is a problematic drug in tableting, and dissolution due to its poor solubility, hydrophobicity, and tendency to stick to surface. Because of the bad compaction behavior ibuprofen has to be granulated usually before tableting. However, it would be more satisfactory to obtain directly during the crystallization step crystalline particles that can be directly compressed and...

Some drugs have low bioavailability due to their poor aqueous solubility and/or slowdissolution rate in biological fluids. Stiripentol (STP) is a novel anticonvulsant drug that isstructurally unrelated to the currently available antiepileptics. It has poor aqueous solubilityand its solubility has to be enhanced accordingly. Polyethyleneglycol 6000 (PEG-6000) iscommonly utilized as a hydrophilic...

Crystal dissolution may include three component processes: interface reaction, diffusion and complications due to convection. We report here a theoretical and experimental study of crystal dissolution in silicate melt without convection. A reaction-diffusion equation is developed and numerically solved. The results show that during non-convective crystal dissolution in silicate melt, the interf...

the degradation of poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (pvp) by means of ultrasound irradiation and itscombination with heterogenous photocatalysis (tio2 nanoparticles) was investigated. emphasiswas given on the effect of additive on degradation rate constants. 24 khz of ultrasoundirradiation was provided by a sonicator, while an ultraviolet source of 30 w was used for uvirradiation. to increase the effic...
