An oral suspension could a suitable dosage form for the geriatric patients. The calcium alginate coated ion exchange resinate of propranolol hydrochloride were prepared using Amberlite IR-120 by solvent evaporation. Microcapsules of propranolol hydrochloride resinate were prepared by solvent evaporation technique,the suspensions were prepared by using deionised water as the vehicle. Methy...

Acne vulgaris is a chronic and prevalent usually self-limited disorder. Topical medication is the main route for acne therapy. In this disorder the most widely used topical preparations are antibiotics such as Erythromycin and keratolytic agents such as Tretinoin. Excellent results with minimal side effects may be achieved by a fixed combination of Tretinoin and Erythromycin. This combination t...

We analyze the value of public information in a competitive endowment economy. We provide a global result that an early release of information about the future state of the economy is desired by all agents, or Pareto improving, if agents disagree about the prospect of the economy and asset markets are complete. We further prove that for certain levels of agents’ disagreement, all agents prefer ...

Introduction: In a serious brain disorder like Alzheimer's disease, the levels of acetylcholine (Ach) drop significantly. The gradual death of cholinergic brain cells leads to a profound loss of memory and learning ability. Acetylcholine is the chemical messenger that sends messages from one neuron to another in the area of the brain used for memory. Many of the current medications act to enhan...

The endoperoxide prostaglandin G2 (PGG2) induced platelet aggregation as well as the platelet release reaction (release of ADP and serotonin) when added to human platelet-rich plasma. Formation of a metabolite of PGG2 [8-(l-hydroxy-3-oxopropyl)-9,12L-dihydroxy-5,10-heptadecadienoic acid] and a lipoxygenase product [12L-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid] accompanied the release reaction ca...

Objective: Burst release of drugs occurs in a very short time compared to the entire sustained release process, yet it has not been specifically investigated in most of the work whereas our study aims the investigation of the burst release of antimicrobial agents from various collagen scaffolds and the release kinetics of antimicrobial agents from the collagen scaffolds. Materials and Methods: ...

objective(s): the aim of this work was to prepare and characterize magnetic nanoparticles (mnps) as theranostic system to act simultaneously as drug carrier and mri contrast agent. chitosan-coated mnps (cmnps) were prepared and loaded with silymarin. silymarin-loaded cmnps were characterized with various techniques and their potential as mri contrast agent was also evaluated. materials and meth...

implantable contraceptive is likely to be a promising new option for fertility control, as we have entered the twenty-first century and the world’s population grows by one billion people in a single decade. the main objective of this study was to develop a subdermal implant for levonorgestrol (a synthetic progestin from 19-norandrostanes) using a high molecular weight biodegradable polymer , i....

Triptoreline is a potent agonist of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, currently used in the treatment of prostatic cancer where therapy may be required over months or years. Frequent injection of drug decreases patients’ compliance. The present study describes the formulation of a sustained release microparticulate drug delivery system containing triptoreline acetate, using poly (D,L lacti...

Objective(s): Fabricating a biomimetic scaffold platform combined with controlled release of bioactive agents is a practical approach for bone tissue engineering. Controlled delivery of peptides and growth factors which play a significant role in osteogenesis is an important issue reducing the associated adverse effects and leading to cost-effectiveness. Materials and Methods: We develope...
