The adsorption of various kinds of ionic/nonionic actives, added in ophthalmological drugs (artificial tear, contact lens wetting solution, eye-drops, and eyewash) for over-the-counter (marketable drugs with no need of any medical prescription) , on soft contact lens (SCL) surfaces has been studied as a function of hydrophobicity of the actives. The common logarithm of the 1-octanol/water parti...

Per oral delivery of hydrophilic drugs is one of the most challenges in biopharmaceutical research. Hydrophilic drugs show low bioavailability following oral administration because of their poor intestinal permeation. In the last few years great interest has focused on search of different intestinal permeation enhancers for the oral delivery of BCS class iii drugs, small polar molecules, vaccin...

Drug nanoparticle formulation using ascorbic acid derivatives and its therapeutic uses have recently been introduced. Hydrophilic ascorbic acid derivatives such as ascorbyl glycoside have been used not only as antioxidants but also as food and pharmaceutical excipients. In addition to drug solubilization, drug nanoparticle formation was observed using ascorbyl glycoside. Hydrophobic ascorbic ac...

AIM To uptake and release hydrophilic model drugs and insulin in a novel conductive polymer (CP) nanotube transdermal patch. MATERIALS & METHODS The externally controlled transdermal delivery of model drugs and insulin were tested ex vivo and results were compared with CP films. The unique intrinsic properties of CPs provide electrostatic interaction between the model drugs and polymer backbo...

Niosomes are vesicular nacarriers that can be used for both amphiphilic and lipophilic drugs. budding vehicles in advanced drug delivery systems. nionic surfactants vesicles formed with or without the addition of cholesterol. best choice because their specific characters like biodegradability, biocompatibility, immugenic nature. easily trap hydrophilic drugs extend period systemic circulation. ...

Abstract Mixed micellar systems have been tried with the aim of achieving higher solubility drugs compared to single systems. Hydrophobic-hydrophilic mixed used for above purpose drug ciprofloxacin in past. In present study, a hydrophilic-hydrophilic binary system comprising pluronic copolymers F127 and L64 has studied its effect on solubilization Ciprofloxacin. The solutions two individual the...

Synthetic polymers of a specific shape and size play major role in drug delivery systems. Dendrimers are unique synthetic macromolecules of nanometer dimensions with a highly branched structure and globular shape with potential applications in gene and drug delivery. We examine the interaction of several dendrimers of different compositions mPEG-PAMAM (G3), mPEG-PAMAM (G4) and PAMAM (G4) with h...
