Purpose: To develop a stable emulgel formulation from Manilkara zapota fruit extract (MZFE) and evaluate its sun-protective factor (SPF) physical retention on facial skin.
 Methods: Active test formulations containing MZFE placebo (containing no active ingredients) were prepared by dispersing the primary emulsion into gel phase. Both subjected to physicochemical evaluation, stability studi...

OBJECTIVE To encapsulate 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(meso-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (mTHPP), a photosensitizer, into polymeric micelles; characterize the micelles; and test in vitro photodynamic therapy efficacy against human head and neck cancer cells. STUDY DESIGN A nanoparticle design, fabrication, and in vitro testing study. SETTING Polymer chemistry laboratory. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Micelles en...

a procedure was developed for rapid in vitro germination of linum album seeds by scarification and exposing to gibberellic acid (ga3) and kinetin (kn).  concentrations of podophyllotoxin (ptox) and related aryltetralin lignans α-peltatin, β-peltatin, 5’-demethoxy-6-methoxypodophyllotoxin and 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin (mptox) in l. album fresh plant organs were determined by hplc. a degree of var...

background: linoleic acid (la) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid present in high concentrations in follicular fluid, when added to maturation culture media, it affects oocyte competence.objective: in the present study, we investigated effect of linoleic acid supplementation on in vitro maturation, embryo development and apoptotic related gene expression in ovinematerials and methods: the experime...

We measured the formation of a Staphylococcus aureus biofilm in vitro on unloaded and gentamicin-loaded bone cements (CMW3 and Palacos R) and related the formation to antibiotic release rates. All experiments were done in triplicate. Microbial growth on gentamicin-loaded cements occurred despite the release of antibiotic. Biofilm formation on gentamicin loaded CMW3 bone cement was one fourth to...

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) plays a critical role in muscle contraction, and its dysfunction can result various disorders. In vitro models for studying NMJ are essential understanding their functions pathology. However, the engineering of tissue presents challenges organization myofiber-like oriented bundles as well induction vessel formation innervation. To address these challenges, we fa...

The present work was performed with the objective of novel topical formulation development poorly water-soluble drug Diclofenac diethylamine by loading drug-containing nanosponge into formulation. nanosponges are polymeric nanoparticles that entrap drug. drug-loaded has different absorption characteristics in comparison to pure delivery system. Methods: first loaded ethylcellulose using emulsio...
