in this study, tretinoin microemulsion has been formulated based on phase diagram studies by changing the amounts and proportions of inactive ingredients, such as surfactants, co-surfactants and oils. the effects of these variables have been determined on microemulsion formation, particle size of the dispersed phase and release profile of tretinoin from microemulsion through dialysis membrane. ...

Background: Green tea polyphenols (GTP) are known to have several health benefits. In spite of these benefits, its application as a therapeutic agent is limited due to some of its limitations such as stability, bioavailability, and biotransformation. To overcome these limitations, liposomal nanoparticles have been used as a carrier of the GTP. <spa...

the purpose of this work was to develop once daily sustained release (sr) matrix tablets of naproxen, an anti-inflammatory agent. the tablets were prepared by wet granulation method along with hydrophilic matrix materials like methocel k 15m cr and methocel k 100m cr. the granules were evaluated for bulk density, angle of repose, compressibility index, total porosity and drug content. the table...

the objective of this work was to develop and evaluate the levofloxacin hemihydrate floating formulations (f1-f9). selection of optimized batch was done by model dependent approach and novel mathematical approach. f1-f9 batches were prepared by direct compression method using gelucire 43/01 (hydrophobic) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (hydrophilic) polymer in different ratios. the floating ta...

in recent years, great efforts have been devoted to the design of drug delivery systems. many polymeric excipients have been studied in order to make drug release fit the desired profiles. the aim of this work was to design a theophylline oral suspension, as sustained release pharmaceutical preparation in order to decrease the plasma level fluctuations and adverse effects of theophylline. micro...

This study was performed to design bilayer regioselective floating tablets of atenolol and lovastatin to give immediate release of lovastatin and sustained release of atenolol. Bilayer floating tablets comprised two layers, i.e immediate release and controlled release layers. The immediate release layer comprised sodium starch glycollate as a super disintegrant and the sustained release layer c...

in order to enhance in vitro dissolution and content uniformity of poorly soluble drug glimepiride by preparing solid dispersions using modified solvent fusion method, solid dispersions of drug were prepared by modified fusion solvent method using peg 6000 and pvp k25 (as carrier). eight batches (f1-f8) were prepared by factorial design (23) by taking three factors i.e. the concentration of: dr...

The aim of the present study was to prepare and evaluate an osmotically controlled mucoadhesive cup-core (OCMC) containing aceclofenac. A special technique was used while preparing an OCMC. Stability of OCMC was determined in natural human saliva, and it was found that both pH and device are stable in human saliva. OCMC was evaluated by weight uniformity, thickness, hardness, friability, swelli...

In this study,formulation of sustained-releasingmatrix tablet of bupropion 150 mg, using hydroxypropylmethylcellu lose(HPMC) 4000cps was evaluatedwith the aim of reducing the frequency of daily dose. The level of HPMC4000 ,polyvinylpyrolidone(PVP) and magnesium stearate(Mg St)was varied based on a 2level 3 factor factorial experimental designusing the release rate of the drug from the matrices ...

How should institutions convey relevant information to the public? Should they schedule their communications or release information as it becomes available? What are the welfare effects of an unanticipated information release? We model a decentralized economy and show that a credible schedule delays trade towards the information release date and unanticipated information arrivals entail a loss ...
