Previous studies have shown that the association of the drug meglumine antimoniate (MA) with β-cyclodextrin can improve its bioavailability by the oral route. In this work, ribose and maltose were investigated for their ability to form mixed or association complexes with MA, release MA and modulate the serum levels of Sb after oral administration in mice. Analysis of the MA/ribose composition b...

The “excess salt replication process” is a new simple method of fabrication open-cell metal foam based on the commonly known method. Porous materials with porosity between 46% and 66% result when employed alloy 25% antimonial lead it 58% to 65% zamak 5. These foams are proposed as structured catalysts instead packed beds in treatment wastewater. local regimes influencing macroscopic air flow be...
