Evaluation of polyelectrolyte and emulsion covalent crosslink of chitosan for p...

This study evaluates various techniques for producing mesalamine (5ASA)-loaded particles employing chitosan as a biopolymer: (1) the polyelectrolyte complexation of chitosan with phthalate hypromelose (HP), (2) the chemical crosslinking of chitosan with genipin and (3) the water-in-oil emulsion method associated with chemical crosslinking with genipin. Systems were characterized by dynamic light scattering, zet...

Bioadhesive Surfactant Systems for Methotrexate Skin Delivery

Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:24:11Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-02-18; Methotrexate (MTX) is an immunosuppressive drug for systemic use in the treatment of skin diseases, however, MTX presents a number of side effects, such as hepatotoxicity. To overcome this limitation, this study developed skin MTX delivery surfactant systems, such as a microemulsion (ME) and a liquid cr...

Insulin-loaded polymeric mucoadhesive nanoparticles: development, characterizat...

Mucoadhesive nanoparticles are particularly interesting for delivery through nasal or pulmonary routes, as an approach to overcome the mucociliary clearance. Moreover, these nanoparticles are attractive for peptide and protein delivery, particularly for insulin to treat diabetes, as an alternative to conventional parenteral administration. Thus, chitosan, a cationic mucoadhesive polysaccharide found in shells o...

Supercritical fluid and pharmaceutical applications. Part I: Process classifica...

The supercritical fluid technology has been target of many pharmaceuticals investigations in particles production for almost 35 years. This is due to the great advantages it offers over others technologies currently used for the same purpose. A brief history is presented, as well the classification of supercritical technology based on the role that the supercritical fluid (carbon dioxide) performs in the process.

A novel approach in mucoadhesive drug delivery system to improve zidovudine int...

Zidovudine (AZT) mucoadhesive solid dispersions (SD) were prepared using a sodium starch glycolate (SSG) and hypromellose phthalate (HPMCP) mixtures as carrier to enhance the intestinal permeability and bioavailability of zidovudine. SDs were prepared using the co-precipitation method followed by solvent evaporation and characterized according to their physicochemical properties such as particle size, crystalli...

Validation of high-performance liquid chromatographic method for analysis of fl...

Nas últimas décadas, houve aumento significativo na incidência de doenças fúngicas. Certas doenças fúngicas provocam lesões cutâneas, sendo que no tratamento usual, geralmente administrado por via oral, o medicamento chega ao local de ação com dificuldade, em concentração muito baixa. Uma abordagem muito explorada nos últimos anos é o desenvolvimento de sistemas de administração de fármacos baseados em nanotecn...

Preparation and characterisation of Dextran-70 hydrogel for controlled release ...

A hydrogel was developed from 70 kDa dextran (DEX-70) and praziquantel (PZQ) incorporated as a model drug. Biopharmaceutical properties, such as solubility and dissolution rate, were analysed in the design of the hydrogel. Furthermore, the hydrogel was also characterized by IR spectroscopy and DSC. Tests of the swelling rate showed that the hydrogel swelled slowly, albeit faster than the rate for the free polym...
