here we report a novel approach for preparation of a 6-day transdermal drug delivery system (tdds) as treatment for mild to moderate alzheimer’s disease. the spray drying method was used to prepare microparticles containing the anti-alzheimer drug. the content of the drug was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) method. the morphology and size range of the microparticles ...

Slow release testosterone-loaded nanocapsules in alginate, biodegradable hydropolymer, were prepared by in situ nanoemulsion-polymer crosslinking approach. Different formulations varying in the drug loading solvent phase were prepared. Four different drug-loading solvents were assayed and the food grade hexane provided nanocapsules testosterone load of 30%. Testosterone loading was confirmed by...

poly-(alkylcyanoacrylate) ester particles have been used for the preparation of different formulations ranging from ophthalmic delivery systems to cancer chemotherapy carriers in clinic. the aim of this study was to prepare and characterize poly-(methyl ethyl cyanoacrylate) (pmeca) particles containing 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-asa). pmeca particles were prepared using the inverse emulsification...

attempts have been made to prepare nanoparticles based on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (plga) and doxorubicin. biological evaluation and physio-chemical characterizations were performed to elucidate the effects of initial drug loading and polymer composition on nanoparticle properties and its antitumor activity. plga nanoparticles were formulated by sonication method. lactide/glycolide ratio a...

The present study deals with the synthesis andfunctionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug delivery platforms. SBA-15 nanorods with high surface area (1010 m2g-1) were functionalized by post grafting method using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTS). The parent and thiol-functionalized SBA-15 nanorods were used as nanocarriers for an anticancer drug (gemcitabine). The charac...

aim : the aim of this study is to design multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) loaded with paclitaxel (ptx) anti-cancer drug and investigate its anti-cancerous efficacy of human gastric cancer. the sidewall surfaces of pristine mwcnts are highly hydrophobic. a major goal in carbon nanotube chemistry has been functionalization for aqueous solubility, and exploiting nano-tubes as macromolecules ...

a great challenge in using natural polysaccharide as drug delivery system is their fast drug release. the purpose of the present study was to prepare and evaluate chitosan oligosaccharide (cho)-de-estrifiedtragacanth (det) core-shell nanoparticles for controled release of water soluble drugs. cho-det nanoparticles were prepared by microemulsion method and characterized by ft-ir spectroscopy. si...
