Oral route is the easiest and most convenient route for drug administration. Oral drug delivery systems being the most cost-effective and leads the worldwide drug delivery market. The major problem in oral drug formulations is low and erratic bioavailability, which mainly results from poor aqueous solubility. This may lead to high interand intra subject variability, lack of dose proportionality...

Thiocarbonyl compounds possess unusual photophysical properties: they fluoresce from S(2), phosphoresce from T(1) only at extremely low concentrations in solution at room temperature, have unit quantum yield of intersystem crossing from S(1) to T(1), undergo self-quenching at diffusion-controlled rates, and are quenched by ground-state oxygen leading to self-destruction. In this article, we are...

Modification to find the best physicochemical properties of minocycline hydrochloride ointment for optimum treatment of bedsore was investigated by coformulating various types of cyclodextrins (CyD) in the ointment base. It was found that the drug release rate from the ointment base was modified according to the preparation method of ointment base and the type of CyD admixed. The physicochemica...

The applicability of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) for the separation of benzodiazepine (BZD) derivates with different structural characteristics has been studied. Efforts were first focused on the optimization of the analytical conditions, on the effects of buffer concentration, surfactant concentration and buffer pH on the separation. To manipulate selectivity of the...

BACKGROUND The aim of this work was to develop a simple capillary electrophoretic method as the verification and confirmation tool in the screening analysis for amphetamines, opiates, benzodiazepines and cocaine and their metabolites for toxicological applications. METHODS 50 mM phosphate Tris pH 2.0 with 30% (v/v) of methanol was used as a background electrolyte that enabled fast separation ...

This paper presents a review of the literature concerning development of the stationary phases for thin-layer chromatography (TLC) in the last ten years. The silica gel remains the most important adsorbent for TLC separation. The kinetic properties of the silica-gel thin layer and the new TLC plates have been presented. Other materials used as stationary phase were alumina, zirconium oxide, Flo...

Low solubility compounds show dissolution rate limited absorption and hence poor absorption, distribution and target organ delivery. Improvement of aqueous solubility in such a case is valuable goal to improve therapeutic efficacy. Complexation with CDs by different methods like physical mixing, melting, kneding, spray drying, freeze drying, co-evaporation has been reported to enhance the solub...
