Recently, nasal route has received a great deal of attention as a method for systemic administration of drugs, especially those that have to be administered by injection. The nasal route is advantageous because of the rapid absorption of drug molecules across the nasal mucosa and the relative ease of administration (1). Nasal powder formulations may improve chemical and microbiologic stability ...

Consumption of Moringa oleifera leaves is a local and inexpensive solution to iron and zinc deficiencies in the Far-north region of Cameroon. However, traditional household's cooking techniques result in sauces with high pH levels and low leaves incorporation rates that compromise the bioavailability of iron and zinc. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of modifying a standard Mo...

This study aimed to analyze the final fermentation culture of Bacillus sphaericus 2362, standardize it and develop an active tablet formulation for use in urban mosquito breeding sites. It was performed in three phases: analysis and standardization of a B. sphaericus fermented culture; physical, chemical, and biological analysis of the active powder (solubility, residual humidity, particle size...

orally disintegrating tablets (odt) have the advantages of both solid dosage form specially the stability and ease of handling and liquid dosage forms including ease of swallowing and pre-gastric absorption. we focused on taste masking and formulation of ranitidine odt which disintegrates rapidly in the mouth within 60 seconds using super-disintegrants, special polymers, water soluble and even ...

Abstract The growing awareness of the consumers on advantages a proper nutrition is deeply modifying their demands. Hence, exploitation innovative ingredients to enrich nutritional values staple foods continuously explored by research institutions and food industries. This paper represents feasibility study use nonconventional ingredients, including house cricket ( Acheta domesticus ) powder bu...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo performance of gastro-retentive matrix tablets having Metformin HCl as model drug and combination of natural polymers. A total of 16 formulations were prepared by a wet granulation method using xanthan, tamarind seed powder, tamarind kernel powder and salep as the gel-forming agents and sodium bicarbonate as a gas-forming agent. ...

portant component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (1). Because of its poor aqueous solubility, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) presents a challenge when developing a formulation for oral administration. Many approaches have been used to improve the in vitro dissolution of CoQ10. Some of the approaches include complexation with cyclodextrins (2), preparation of redispersible dry emulsion (3), solid ...

Current analytical techniques for characterizing solid-state pharmaceuticals include powder x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, electron microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. Powder x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry are mainstream techniques but they lack spatial resolution. Scann...

The present study involves typical asthmatic drugs such as salmeterol xinafoate, terbutaline sulphate and fenoterol hydrobromide and represents an approach by which the direct preparation of powders for respiratory formulations using crystallization in supercritical CO2 is optimised on the basis of product material properties. Comparative analysis between micronised and supercritically-produced...

BACKGROUND Vitiligo is a repugnant and odious dermatological malady of the time. It has an detrimental impact on the pigmentation of the human skin as a result of the destruction of cutaneous melanocytes. It affects 1%-2% of the population worldwide. Different therapeutic regimens have been deployed to treat vitiligo, but none of them could stand alone to be stated as a perfect cure. Recently, ...
