Acinetobacter baumannii, an opportunistic ESKAPE pathogen, causes respiratory and urinary tract infections. Its prevalence increases gradually in the clinical setup. Pathogenicity of Acinetobacter is significantly influenced by its ability to infect and survive in human pulmonary cells. Therefore, it is important to study the infection of A. baumannii in human pulmonary host cell (A-549), monit...

our aim in this work is the synthesis and study optical and structural properties of gold nanoparticles.gold (iii) chloride trihydratewas taken as metal precursor, ascorbic acid at the presence of an appropriate amount of naoh as reducing agent and polyvinylpyrrolidonek-30 (pvp k-30) as a stabilizing and capping agent. the reaction was performed in high-speed stirring rate at room temperature.s...

Objective(s) The purpose of the present study was to use the solid dispersion (SD) technique to improve the dissolution rates of indomethacin (IMC). Materials and Methods IMC solid dispersions in PVP K30 and isomalt (GALEN IQ 990) were prepared using the solvent evaporation technique and a hot melt method in weight ratios of 2, 10 and 30% (IMC:PVP). Solid dispersions and physical mixtures we...

It is recognized that chlorin e6-polyvinylpyrrolidone (Ce6-PVP) formulations are characterized by a high efficacy in photodynamic therapy of malignant tumors. Currently, a commercially available formulation of this type is Photolon (Fotolon) with Ce6:PVP=1:1 (w/w) and the weight-average molecular weight of PVP is 1.2x10(4). To gain a better understanding of the role played by PVP in Ce6-PVP for...

The irreversible adsorption of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) on a series of well-defined platinum single crystal electrode surfaces has been investigated using voltammetry, ex situ XPS and DFT calculations. It is found that the adsorption of PVP is highly structure sensitive with strong adsorption exhibited by step and {100} terrace sites with only weak interactions observed between PVP and Pt{111...

The purpose of the present work is to improve the antimalarial activity of arteether through enhancing its solubility subsequently bioavailability by incorporating the drug into the cyclodextrins cavity. The effect of hydrophilic polyvinyl propylene (PVP) polymer on the complexation and solubilizing efficiencies of cyclodextrins (CDs) is also elucidated. Inclusion of arteether molecule in solid...

Two aspects of the perception of extrapersonal space undergo systematic changes with variations in the pitch of the visual environment: (1) the physical elevation perceived to correspond to eye level (VPEL); and (2) the perception of the pitch of the visual environment (PVP). Thus, one might assume that both discriminations are controlled by a common mechanism utilizing visual information from ...
