The main objective of the present study was to formulate gastroretentive effervescent sustained release drug delivery systems of risperidone floating tablets with the help of Methocel® K15, Ethocel® standard 7FP premium, Eudragit ® RS100 sustained release polymers to improve its safety profile, bioavailability and patient compliance. Risperidone floating tablets were formulated by wet granulati...

The purpose of the present research was to produce a quick/slow biphasic delivery system for aceclofenac. A dual component tablet made of a sustained release tabletted core and an immediate release tabletted coat was prepared by direct compression. Both the core and the coat contained a model drug aceclofenac. The sustained release effect was achieved with polymers hydroxypropyl methylcellulose...

the aim of this study was to develop an extended-release tablet formulation using a new in situ cross-linking method. the effects of polyvalent cations on theophylline release from tablets made with the polyanionic polymers sodium alginate and sodium carboxymethylcellulose, were investigated. different miliequivalents of the di and tri-valent cation, ca2+ and al3+, were added to tablet formulat...

The objective of the study was to develop HPMC matrix tablets for oral controlled/ sustained release of water soluble Diclofenac Potassium. Sustained release matrix tablets containing 100 mg of Diclofenac Potassium were developed using different drug polymer ratio of HPMC. Tablets were prepared by direct compression. Compressed tablets were evaluated for uniformity of weight, content of active ...

nimodipine (nm), as a lipophilic calcium channel blocker indicated for the prevention and treatment of neurological disorders, suffers from an extensive first pass metabolism, resulting in low oral bioavailability. polymeric micelles, self-assembled from amphiphilic polymers, have a core-shell structure which makes them unique nano-carriers with excellent performance as drug delivery. this inve...

Composite core/shell fiber structures loaded with the antiproliferative drugs paclitaxel or farnesylthiosalicylate (FTS) were developed and studied. The latter is a specific nontoxic Ras inhibitor with a mild hydrophobic nature, which can also be used for local cancer treatment and stent applications. The fibers were composed of a dense polyglyconate core and a porous drug-loaded poly(D,L-lacti...

background: salmonellosis is one of the most importantzoonotic diseases throughout the world. objectives: thepurpose of this study was to characterize a large collection ofsalmonella isolates from different poultry sources in iran.methods: a total of 123 salmonella isolates from differentpoultry sources were subjected to drug susceptibility test,hemolysin production, motility test, and plasmid ...

A drug delivery microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device was designed to release complex profiles of multiple substances in order to maximize the effectiveness of drug therapies. The device is based on micro-reservoirs etched into a silicon substrate that contain individual doses of drug. Each dose is released by the electrochemical dissolution of the gold membrane that covers the reservoir...

The aim of this research was to investigate the technique for preparation of coated valproic acid and sodium valproate sustained-release matrix tablets. Different diluents were tested and selected as the effective absorbent for oily valproic acid. Effect of the amount of absorbent and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose on drug release from valproic acid-sodium valproate matrix tablets prepared with w...
