Objective: In this study, it was aimed to prepare Vancomycin loaded poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles that can be used parenterally in enterococcal infections. Material and Method: the different concentrations of PLGA were nanoparticles. Emulsification-solvent evaporation method preparation particles. Particle size distribution, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency yie...

Interferon-α2b (IFN-α2b) produced in Cuba by the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology was encapsulated into poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres using the double emulsion-solvent evaporation method. Resulting microspheres showed smooth surfaces containing randomly distributed pores, a mean diameter of 28.1 ± 0.4 μm (using 14,000 rpm for the second emulsification step)...

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis which attacks lungs and other parts of the body. Isoniazid is a hydrophilic drug that is having a first line antituberculosis drug. Entrapment Efficiency has been improved by preparing Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs). Two different variable Stearic acid and Tween 80 were used by using w/o/w double emulsion-solvent evapo...

The present study was initiated to understand the effect of PLGA concentration, PVA concentration, internal-external phase ratio, homogenization speed, and homogenization time on mean particle size, zeta potential, and percentage drug encapsulation using fractional factorial design. Using PLGA (50-50) as the carrier, hyaluronidase loaded PLGA nanoparticles were prepared using double emulsion so...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the morphology and function of a drug eluting metallic porous surface produced by the immobilization of poly lactide-co-glycolide microspheres bearing dexamethasone onto plasma electrolytically oxidized Ti-6Al-7Nb medical alloy. Spheres of 20 microm diameter were produced by an oil-in-water emulsion/solvent evaporation method and thermally immobil...

Aceclofenac was formulated as novel enteric microcapsules for improved delivery to the intestine using the polymer ethyl cellulose as the retardant material. Micro encapsulation of aceclofenac was done to achieve a controlled drug release profile suitable for per oral administration. Aceclofenac was used as core and microcapsules were prepared by an emulsion solvent evaporation method. The prep...

PLGA (poly d,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulating magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) along with a model drug human serum albumin (HSA) were prepared by double emulsion solvent evaporation method. This Part I will focus on size and size distribution of prepared NPs, whereas encapsulation efficiency will be discussed in Part II. It was found that mean hydrodynamic particle siz...

cis-Diamminediiodoplatinum (cis-DIDP) is a cisplatin-like anticancer drug with higher anticancer activity, but lower stability and price than cisplatin. In this study, a cis-DIDP carrier system based on micro-sized stearic acid was prepared by an emulsion solvent evaporation method. The maximum drug loading capacity of cis-DIDP-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles was 22.03%, and their encapsulatio...

The objectives of our study were to prepare and evaluate a biodegradable nanoparticulate system of Letrozole (LTZ) intended for breast cancer therapy. LTZ loaded poly(lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles (LTZ-PLGA-NPs) were prepared by emulsion-solvent evaporation method using methylene chloride and polyvinyl alcohol. Percentage of drug (with respect to polymer) was selected as formulation varia...
