objective(s) ibuprofen is a problematic drug in tableting, and dissolution due to its poor solubility, hydrophobicity, and tendency to stick to surface. because of the bad compaction behavior ibuprofen has to be granulated usually before tableting. however, it would be more satisfactory to obtain directly during the crystallization step crystalline particles that can be directly compressed and ...

Insulin-loaded PEG2-PLA40 and PEG5-PLA20 microspheres containing 5% bovine insulin were manufactured using single emulsion and w/o/w multiple emulsion-solvent evaporation techniques. Microspheres were characterized for their insulin encapsulation efficiency and release characteristics in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.4 and 37 ÂC. Moreover, the stability of the peptide during 18 days o...

The solubility, absorption and distribution of a drug are involved in the basic aspects of oral bioavailability Solubility is an essential characteristic and influences the efficiency of the drug. Over the last ten years, the number of poorly soluble drugs has steadily increased. One of the progressive ways for increasing oral bioavaibility is the technique of nanoparticle preparation, which al...

the objective of this study was to formulate and evaluate the drug-polymer interaction of mefenamic acid (ma) using two polymers with different characteristics as ethylcellulose (ec) and/or cellulose acetate phthalate (cap). microspheres were prepared by the modified emulsion solvent evaporation (mese). the effect of drug-polymer interaction was studied for each of microspheres. important param...

microspheres formulated from poly (d,l-lactic-co-glycolide) (plga), a biodegradable polymer, have been extensively evaluated as a drug delivery system. in this study, the preparation, characterization and drug release properties of the plga microspheres were evaluated. simvastatin (sim)-loaded plga microspheres were prepared by oil-in-water emulsion/solvent evaporation method. the microspheres ...

the purpose of this study was to prepare and characterize nimodipine loaded microspheres using ethyl cellulose (ec) as a carrier polymer through an emulsion solvent evaporation method. these evaluations characterized the pattern of drug release from prepared microspheres. nimodipin loaded microspheres were prepared using an emulsification solvent evaporation method. the effect of process variab...

We introduce an approach for forming bilayer polymer membranes by adhesion of amphiphile-laden interfaces. This adhesion is induced by a reduction of solvent quality for the amphiphilic diblock copolymers through selective evaporation of good solvent in the solvent mixture. By combining this membrane formation mechanism with a double-emulsion-templated approach for vesicle formation, we fabrica...
