Products of arachidonic acid metabolism are important for mucosal homeostasis, because blockade of this pathway with an NSAID triggers rapid onset of severe colitis in the IL-10 knockout (IL-10(-/-)) model of IBD. Rag mice do not make T or B cells. This study determined whether reconstitution of Rag mice with T cells from IL-10(-/-) mice transferred NSAID colitis susceptibility. Rag mice were r...

New dianionic ionic liquids (ILs) based on carboxylic anions and ammonium cations were prepared characterized. They used as excipients to increase the solubility of two model oral drugs BCS class II, ibuprofen piroxicam. With only 0.2 mol% (≈100 mM) [N4 1 2OH]2[C4H4O4], increases over 40-fold 2-fold for ibuprofen, when compared with parent drug water phosphate buffer solution (PBS) 0.01M pH=7.4...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was the isolation and structure elucidation of chemical compounds from the rhizomes of Eremostachys laciniata (L) Bunge (EL), an Iranian traditional medicinal herb with a thick root and pale purple or white flowers as well as the clinical studies on the therapeutic efficacy and safety of topical application of the EL extract in the management of some inflammato...

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have prohypertensive effects and blunt the effects of many antihypertensives. The mechanism of this interaction is still not understood enough. The objective of this investigation was to determine the level of prohypertensive effects of two NSAIDs (ibuprofen, piroxicam) and paracetamol, co-prescribed with two antihypertensive drugs (lisinopril + hy...

PURPOSE A multiparticular floating-pulsatile drug delivery system was developed for time and site specific drug release of piroxicam. A blend of floating and pulsatile principles of drug delivery system would have the advantage that a drug can be released in the upper GI tract after a definite time period. METHODS Hollow microspheres were prepared by the emulsion solvent diffusion method usin...

A simple and fast capillary electrophoresis method has been developed to determine the amount of piroxicam loaded in a drug delivery system based on nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs). The entrapment efficiency of the nanostructured lipid carrier was estimated by measuring the concentration of drug not entrapped in a suspension of NLC. The influence of different parameters on migration times,...

The application of generalized rank annihilation method (GRAM) to the analysis of fluorescence excitation-emission matrices of mixtures of piroxicam and pyridoxine is described. The input of GRAM consists of two bilinear data matrices, i.e. one for unknown and one for the calibration sample. The excitation wavelength range was from 290 to 340 nm and the emission was recorded from 370 to 560 nm....

Carcinomas of the prostate in dogs are a heterogeneous group of aggressive cancers that collectively carry a poor prognosis. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of using mitoxantrone along with piroxicam for the treatment of carcinomas of the prostate. Survival time, time to treatment failure, subjective and objective responses, prognostic indicators, and toxicity w...
