Lipases (3.1.1.3) are ubiquitous, biogenic enzymes which hydrolyses the triacylglycerols at water-oil interface. Many species of animals, plants, and microbes produces lipases. The organisms able to produce lipases could tolerate organic solvents, high temperature, is industrial interest. Apart from its natural aqueous catalysis it also performs synthetic reactions in non-aqueous conditions, ha...

information will be of particular interest to engineers , risk assessors and safety professionals in the chemical industry who have to deal with water reactive chemicals. A new revised and expanded 4th edition of Pharma-zeutische Wirksto¡e by A. Kleemann and J. Engel has been published in English as Pharmaceutical Substances: Bibliography. It contains information on over 2200 pharmaceutical com...

Lignocellulosic biomass is a complex biopolymer that is primary composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The presence of cellulose in biomass is able to depolymerise into nanodimension biomaterial, with exceptional mechanical properties for biocomposites, pharmaceutical carriers, and electronic substrate's application. However, the entangled biomass ultrastructure consists of inherent ...

Biopolymers are promising materials in the delivery of protein drugs due to their compatibility, degradation behavior, and nontoxic nature on administration. On suitable chemical modification, these polymers can provide better materials for drug delivery systems. Nanostructured drug carriers allow the delivery of not only small-molecule drugs but also of nucleic acids and proteins. The use of b...

Chitosan (CH) is derived from N-deacetylation of chitin, which is the second most abundant naturally occurring biopolymer after cellulose. Due to its biodegradable and biocompatible properties, CH has been investigated for many biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. For example, CH-microspheres have been used as carriers for controlled release of drugs, peptides and proteins, as well as va...

Polymeric nanoparticles have received great attention as potential controlled drug delivery systems. Biodegradable polymers has been extensively used in the development of these drug carriers, and the polyesters such as polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid and their copolymers as poly-lactide-co-glycolide are the most used, considering its biocompatibility and biodegradability. Thermal analysis t...

INTRODUCTION In recent years, government and hospital disaster planners have recognized the increasing importance of pharmaceutical preparedness for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) events, as well as other public health emergencies. The development of pharmaceutical surge capacity for immediate use before support from the (US) Strategic National Stockpile (SNS...
