in this study, the effects of various hydrophilic (hpmc and carbopol 971) and plastic (ethylcellulose and eudragit rl100) polymers on the release profile of diltiazem hcl from matrix tablets were evaluated in-vitro. for this purpose, tablets containing 60 mg of diltiazem hcl along with various amounts of the aforementioned polymers were prepared using the wet granulation technique. tablets prep...

the aim of this study was preparation and evaluation of ciprofloxacin-containing minitablets for ocular use, in an attempt to obtain prolonged and controlled drug release to the anterior eye segment. following initial studies on ciprofloxacin powder, it was formulated into ocular minitablets. for this purpose, ciprofloxacin along with various amounts of different sustained release cellulose der...

In the present investigation an attempt has been made to increase therapeutic efficacy, to reduce frequency of administration and to improve patient compliance by developing a sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate. Sustained release matrix tablets of isosorbide-5-mononitrate were developed by using different drug: polymer ratios, such in F1 (1:0.75), F2 (1:1), F3 (1:1.5),...

The present work was aimed to develop and characterize rosuvastatin loaded self emulsifying drug delivery system for the effective management of hypolipidemia (RSEDDS) for improving bioavailability, to enhance solubility, to prolong residence time and to provide sufficient amount of drug to a target site in a sustained release manner. Self-emulsifying drug delivery system was prepared by simple...

A sustained-release tablet formulation should ideally have a proper release profile insensitive to moderate changes in tablet hardness that is usually encountered in manufacturing. In this study, matrix aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) tablets with ethylcellulose (EC), Eudragit RS100 (RS), and Eudragit S100 (S) were prepared by direct compression. The release behaviors were then studied in two co...

hydrophobic grade fumed silicas are generally used in tabletting as lubricants. they are also found to retard the release of pharmaceutical actives. this is because of their hydrophobic nature, which gives good cohesive and adhesive properties. considering this point it was thought that they could be used as dry coating agents for solid dosages forms. the model drug selected for this work was p...

Dispersion coefficients for the long-range interactions of the first four excited states of He, i.e., He(2 (1, 3)S) and He(2 (1, 3)P), with the low-lying states of the alkaline earth atoms Mg, Ca, and Sr are calculated by summing over the reduced matrix elements of multipole transition operators.
