objective(s) in this study, a kind of ph sensitive composite membrane was prepared and drug permeation through it was investigated in terms of ph. rationale of this study originated from the fact that a ph change which may be a result of a disease state in the body can trigger drug release. materials and methods  here, a kind of ph sensitive composite membrane containing different nanoparticle ...

The oxygen permeation performance of Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3−δ (BSCF) mixed-conducting multichannel hollow fiber (MCMHF) membranes was improved by surface modification via spin-spraying of a La0.6Sr0.4CoO3−δ (LSC) porous layer. At 1173 K, the oxygen permeation flux of the modified membranes was clearly enhanced and reached 9.68 mL·cm−2·min−1, which is a remarkable high value in the field of mixe...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to fabricate topical formulations of diclofenac diethylamine (DD) using isopropyl myristate (IPM) and isopropyl palmitate (IPP) as permeation enhancers. Franz cell and bacterial cellulose were used as analytical instrument and diffusion membrane, respectively. Permeation enhancers exhibited significant effect on the permeation characteristics of DD. It ...

Tocopherol represents a big challenge for transdermal permeation owing to its extreme hydrophobicity and large molecular mass. The aim of the present study was to develop alpha-tocopherol (T) topical formulations and evaluate their ex vivo and in vivo permeation. Franz diffusion cells were used for ex vivo permeation, and neonatal rats were used for in vivo permeation. Seven gel formulations an...

Nicotine transdermal systems are being used as an aid to smoking cessation programs. As the kinetics of nicotine delivery is important in success of a smoking cessation program, rapid and high input of nicotine is required, which is not possible by passive methods and requires enhancement strategies such as iontophoresis. Iontophoretic permeation, of nicotine looks promising, based on published...

in this work a new resistance model has been presented based on that of henis-tripodi which can be used for interpretation of gas permeation data in composite and asymmetric membranes. in contrast to the previous works, in this model the fraction of the support layer surface that includes the pores filled with coating material has been taken into account. the influences of the filled pores on s...

The aim of this study was to improve the transdermal permeation of Diclofenac Soduim. Permeation studies were carried out in -vitro using Cellophane Membrane. Topical gel formulations of diclofenac sodium were prepared by using Carbopol 934, Carbopol 940, sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC), polymer as a gel-forming material that is biocompatible and biodegradable. The skin permeation enhance...

Abstract The polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) containing Cellulose triacetate as base, 2-NPOE a plasticizer, and Calix[4]resorcinarene (RC8) carrier were prepared characterized. Microstructure surface of PIMs characterized by scanning electron microscope, FTIR, UV/vis spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric Analysis, respectively. In order to obtain information on the composition interactions that ma...

1. Abstract: The objective of this work was to develop suitable film formulations of ketorolac tromethamine (KT) for transdermal use and to investigate the effect of film composition and permeation enhancers on the in-vitro release and skin permeation of the drug. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC), and chitosan were used as film-forming polymers. The adhesive hydrop...

Objective(s):Drug delivery through the skin can transfer therapeutic levels of drugs for pharmacological effects. Analgesics such as NSAIDs have gastrointestinal side effects and topical dosage forms of these drugs are mainly preferred, especially for local pains. Meloxicam is one of NSAIDs with no topical form in the market. In this research, we attempted to quantify the skin permeation of a m...
