in this study, nystatin liposomal formulation was prepared and characterized. the physicochemical properties of formulations including vesicle size, drug entrapment stability and in vitro release were studied. the highest entrapment efficiency of nystatin into liposomes was obtained about 70% when cholesterol (cho) was added to the formulations prepared with dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine. in a...

Lactococcus lactis strains tolerance to the lyophilization process is one of the criteria used during the selection of starter cultures in cheese production. The viability of L. lactis strains isolated from silage and milk after the lyophilization process was evaluated in the present study by flow cytometry and cell plate counting. The LIVE/DEAD BacLight TM kit, which contains the dyes SYTO 9 a...

F reeze-drying or lyophilization is a process that removes water from a substance. This dehydration process is performed under vacuum while the substance is in a frozen state. Lyophilization technology is used to freeze-dry products such as biologicals, bacterial cultures, analytical chemistry moieties, and therapeutic molecules (e.g., antibodies, vaccines, drugs, and heat-sensitive proteins). ...

Abstract: Background: Paliperidone is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia. It has an absolute oral bioavailability about 28% as it poorly soluble in water and also undergoes hepatic first-pass metabolism. Objectives: The purpose present study to improve solubility, vitro paliperidone by formulating nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC). Materials Methods: High shear homogenization followe...

the aim of this investigation was to improve the storage stability and survival rate of intravesical bcg product, manufactured with an attenuated strain of mycobacterium bovis (pasteur strain 1173p2 of bcg) in the presence of sodium glutamate. formulations with various concentrations of trehalose (a known protectant) were developed as liquid and lyophilized forms. formulations were evaluated by...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to assess demineralized dentin porosity and quantify the different porous features distribution within the material using mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) technique. We compared hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) drying and lyophilization (LYO) (freeze-drying) in sample preparation. METHODS Fifty-six dentin discs were assigned into three groups. The co...

www.pharmtech.com yophilization or freeze-drying is often used to stabilize various pharmaceutical products, including virus vaccines, protein and peptide formulations, liposome, and small-chemical drug formulations (1–4). Often a pharmaceutical product may be susceptible to physical and chemical degradation when stored as a ready-to-use solution. The goal of the formulations scientist is to id...

In this work, an ultrasonic spray freeze-drying (USFD) technique was used to prepare a stable liposomal dry powder for transdermal delivery of recombinant human epithelial growth factor (rhEGF). Morphology, particle size, entrapment efficiency, in vitro release, and skin permeability were systematically compared between rhEGF liposomal dry powder prepared using USFD and that prepared using a co...

piroxicam (px), an anti-inflammatory drug, exhibits poor water solubility, dissolution and flow properties. thus, the aim of the present study was to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of px by freeze drying technique using dimethylformamide (dmf), chloroform and water as co-solvent system. the prepared crystals containing px were evaluated for dmf and chloroform solvent residual by ga...
