the aim of this investigation was to prepare, characterize and optimize the aceclofenac proniosomes using central composite design and carry out stability studies. three independent variables selected were molar ratio of drug to lipid (x1), surfactant loading (x2) and volume of hydration (x3). based on central composite design, 16 batches of proniosomes were prepared by slurry method and evalua...

One of the main hurdles in nanomedicine is the low stability of drug-nanocarrier complexes as well as the drug delivery efficiency in the region-of-interest. Here, we describe the use of the film-forming protein hydrophobin HFBII to organize dodecanethiol-protected gold nanoparticles (NPs) into well-defined supraparticles (SPs). The obtained SPs are exceptionally stable in vivo and efficiently ...

Analytical methods development must be validated to provide reliable data for regulatory submissions. These methods are essential for a number of purposes, including testing for quality control release, testing of stability samples, testing of reference materials and to provide data to support specifications.Analytical method followed by process of establishing evidence that provides a high deg...

Isothermal heat conduction microcalorimetry was used to evaluate chemical stability of a solid drug in tablets. A variety of mixtures were compressed to flat faced tablets of 300 mg weight and 10 mm diameter. The content of drug amounted to 10%. Besides drug containing tablets, also placebo tablets as well as the non compressed mixtures were examined by microcalorimetry at 80 degrees C. The exc...

Sustained release gastroretentive dosage forms enable prolonged and continuous input of the drug to the upper parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and improve the bioavailability of medications that are characterized by a narrow absorption window. A new strategy is proposed for the development of gastroretentive dosage forms for ofloxacin preferably once daily. The design of the delivery sy...
