The main objective of this research is to develop and characterize a series of carbopol 934 (CP) hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and a combination of carbopol-HPMC as a gel base for topical delivery of nystatin. The drug level was held constant at 1.72% w/w and the level of propylene glycol which is used as a co-solvent and penetration enhancer was also kept constant at 2% w/w. The total l...

The present work aims at developing mucoahesive tablets of ondansetron hydrochloride using bioadhesive polymers like carbopol-934, sodium alginate and gelatin. Tablets prepared by direct compression using different polymer with varying ratio were evaluated for hardness, friability, uniformity of weight, disintegration time, microenvironmental pH, bioadhesion and in vitro release. Hardness, fria...

Objective: The present study was aimed to develop topical gel of Clobetasol propionate with the help of carbopol-934 and Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K4m as gelling agents. Polymers play major role in various characterization parameters of topical gel such as in vitro release and rheological properties. Methods: Gels were prepared with carbopol-934 and Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K4m as gell...

The aim of the present study was to prepare and characterize controlled-release matrix tablets of zidovudine using hydrophilic HPMC K4 M or Carbopol 934 alone or in combination with hydrophobic ethyl cellulose. Release kinetics was evaluated by using USP XXIV dissolution apparatus No.2 (paddle) type. Scanning electron microscopy was used to visualize the effect of dissolution medium on matrix t...

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...

Background: Dry skin conditions’ primary and secondary infections can be treated by using mupirocin topically. By overcoming the disadvantages of ointments, creams, lotions, goal formulation emulgel was to improve occlusive properties gels topical delivery hydrophobic drugs with favorable for dry conditions, as well investigate impact concentration different gelling agents (carbopol 940, carbop...

objective (s): mucoadhesive disc is one of the various routes of drug delivery for curing buccal disease.materials and methods:everydiscs containing 70 mg stem bark extract of ziziphus jujuba were formulated  by using carbopol 934, pvp k30 and gelatin as polymers. discs were made by granulation  and direct compression. discs were standardized based on the total phenol.  properties such as in vi...

Purpose: To formulate and prepare controlled release (CR) matrix tablets of tramadol HCl using Carbopol 974P and 934 polymers as rate-controlling agents. Methods: The tablets were prepared by direct compression method using various drug to polymer (D:P) ratios. Co-excipients, including carboxymethylcellulose, starch and/or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose were also used to modulate the formulation...
