mucoadhesive drug delivery systems were developed to sustain drug delivery via various mucus membranes for either local or systemic delivery of poorly absorbed drugs such as peptides and proteins as well as drugs that are subjected to high first-pass metabolism. the present study was undertaken to use isolated calendula mucilage as a mucoadhesive agent and to formulate controlled release buccoa...

candesartan cilexetil (cc) is a newer class of angiotensin ii receptor antagonist used for the treatment of hypertension. the solubility of the cc is very poor and its oral bioavailability is only 15%. the controlled-release polar lipid microparticles of cc (formulations f1, f2, f3 and f4) were prepared using variable erodible lipophilic excipients like hydrogenated castor oil, stearic acid, ce...

Diclofenac sodium as ophthalmic dosage form is used in patients treatment of eye pain, swelling and redness recovering from cataract surgery but it faces the bioavailability limitation of eye drops due to effective protective mechanisms and corneal barrier functions in the eyes. Therefore, this investigation was aimed to develop ocular film formulations to achieve controlled drug release. Drug ...

The potential utilization of encapsulation techniques in food, pharmaceutical and agricultural products preparation, presents a new alternative for complementary technologies such as targeting delivery vehicles and carriers for active food ingredients. Encapsulation could be accomplished by different techniques like: simple or complex coacervation, emulsification technique, phase separation, sp...
