The oral delivery of drugs is regarded as the optimal means for achieving therapeutic effects owing to increased patient compliance. Unfortunately, the oral delivery route is beset with problems such as gastrointestinal (GI) destruction of labile molecules, low levels of macromolecular absorption, etc. To reduce the impact of digestive enzymes and to ensure the absorption of bioactive agents in...

INTRODUCTION Dental caries pose distinct challenges when it comes to determining their microbial etymology. Streptococcus mutans play an important role in dental caries. The aim of the present study was to compare oral microbiota in infants delivered by these different routes. A study was conducted on 40 infants. Swab sample collection was done for the detection of S. mutans. Our study indicate...

Oral route is the most common and convenient route for drug delivery, but some drugs are not given by this route. This route is most common problem is low bioavailability .The various challenges faced by the pharmaceutical scientists leads to the improve bioavailibilityty enhance the approach of self emulsifying drug delivery system. It has gained exposure of their ability to increase solubilit...

Nowadays the development of new drug delivery systems plays a major role in pharmaceutical industries. The drug delivery practice has been altered in last years and even many advanced innovations happened in recent times. Newer drug delivery technologies are largely influencing the current medical practice. Alterations of a current drug into a new drug delivery technology can positively changin...

The delivery of therapeutic proteins has gained momentum with development of biotechnology. However, large molecular weight, hydrophilic nature and susceptibility to harsh environment of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) resulted in low absorption. The main objective of this work was the design of a particulate system for oral delivery of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on the basis of parti...

Mucosal immunization is advantageous over other routes of antigen delivery because it can induce both mucosal and systemic immune responses. Our goal was to develop a mucosal delivery vehicle based on bacteria generally regarded as safe, such as Lactobacillus spp. In this study, we used the Lyme disease mouse model as a proof of concept. We demonstrate that an oral vaccine based on live recombi...

The successful delivery of drugs across the oral mucosa represents a continuing challenge, as well as a great opportunity. Oral transmucosal delivery, especially buccal and sublingual delivery, has progressed far beyond the use of traditional dosage forms with novel approaches emerging continuously. This review highlights the physiological challenges as well as the advances and opportunities fo...

introduction: oral delivery is the most favorable route for insulin administration. the aim of this study was to generate new chitosan coated insulin nanoliposomes and then to assess the physiological efficacy of these nanoliposomes after oral administration in diabetic rabbits. methods: nanoliposomes with negative surface charge encapsulating insulin were prepared by reverse phase evaporation ...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and side effects of two different misoprostol regimens for second-trimester pregnancy termination. methods: 60 consenting women who were at 14 to 28 weeks of gestation with indications for pregnancy termination were randomly assigned to two equal groups to receive either vaginal or oral misoprostol. the dosing regimen was 400µg...
