This paper describes the production, purification, and immobilization of l-asparaginase II (ASNase II) in chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs). ASNase II is an effective antineoplastic agent, used in the acute lymphoblastic leukemia chemotherapy. Cloned ASNase II gene (ansB) in pAED4 plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21pLysS (DE3) competent cells and expressed under optimal conditions. ...

The objectives of our study were to prepare and evaluate a biodegradable nanoparticulate system of Letrozole (LTZ) intended for breast cancer therapy. LTZ loaded poly(lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles (LTZ-PLGA-NPs) were prepared by emulsion-solvent evaporation method using methylene chloride and polyvinyl alcohol. Percentage of drug (with respect to polymer) was selected as formulation varia...

The Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) of hydrophilic dug isoniazid (INH), a first line antubericular drug are developed and the entrapment efficiency of drug in the SLN has been improved. The poor incorporation of watersoluble drugs is the problem associated with the incorporation of hydrophilic drugs in to SLN. The SLNs were prepared by ethanol injection method using tristearin and phospholipon ...

CONTEXT Polymeric carrier systems of paclitaxel (PCT) offer advantages over only available formulation Taxol® in terms of enhancing therapeutic efficacy and eliminating adverse effects. OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to prepare poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles containing PCT using emulsion solvent evaporation technique. METHODS Critical factors involved in the ...

In this study, di- and triblock copolymers based on polyethylene glycol and polylactide were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization and characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance and gel permeation chromatography. Nanoparticles containing noscapine were prepared from these biodegradable and biocompatible copolymers using the nanoprecipitation method. The prepared nanoparticles were ...

Polymer based nanoparticle formulations have been shown to increase drug bioavailability and/or reduce drug adverse effects. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. celecoxib) reduce prostaglandin synthesis and cause side effects such as gastrointestinal and renal complications. The aim of this study was to formulate celecoxib entrapped poly lactide-co-glycolide based nanoparticles through a...

Objective(s): The purpose of the present study was to prepare and to evaluate a novel niosome as transdermal drug delivery system for propranolol hydrochloride and to compare the in vitro efficiency of niosome by either thin film hydration or hand shaking method. Materials and Methods: Niosomes were prepared by Thin Film Hydration (TFH) or Hand Shaking (HS) method. Propranolol niosomes were pre...

the aim of the present work was to assess the feasibility of accononmc8-2ep/nf as a bioadhesive material for developing controlled release gastroretentive microsponges of loratadine. modified emulsion-solvent diffusion method was employed for the preparation of microsponges (f1-f9) based on 32 factorial design. the amount of ethyl cellulose (ec) and polyvinyl alcohol (pva) were selected as inde...

rivastigmine hydrogen tartrate (rht), one of the potential cholinesterase inhibitors, has received great attention as a new drug candidate for the treatment of alzheimer's disease. however, the bioavailability of rht from the conventional pharmaceutical forms is low because of the presence of the blood brain barrier. the main aim of the present study was to prepare positively charged eudragit r...

The main aim of the present research was to encapsulate mefenamic acid in niosomes andincorporate the prepared niosomes in the carbopol gel base for sustained therapeutic action. Mefenamic acid loaded niosomes were prepared by thin film hydration technique and evaluated for entrapment efficiency, vesicular size and zeta potential. The entrapment efficiency of the prepared niosomes was found to ...
