Background: Oral strip is very similar to thin strip of postage stamp in shape, size and thickness. The strip is designed to be placed on the tongue or any oral mucosal tissue which immediately gets wet and hydrated after being in contact with the saliva. Desloratadine is one of the better- known second-generation antihistamines that has been studied for being effective in relieving the allergic nasal and skin symptoms.

In our study, Voriconazole (VOR) was selected as an active agent to be used for the treatment of ocular fungal infections. To overcome low aqueous solubility of VOR, inclusion complexes with -cyclodextrin (-CD), -cyclodextrin (-CD), -cyclodextrin (-CD), hydroxypropyl-cyclodextrin (HP-CD), hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (HP--CD) hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HP-γ-CD), methyl--cyclodextrin (M--CD) and sulfabutylether--cyclodextrin (SBE--CD) were formulated. Characterization studies revealed that inclusion complexes were formulated successfully with the lyophilization method.

The effect of polymers used in nanoparticle (NP) production on the formulation properties is one of the few studied issues. Therefore, this study aims to formulate flurbiprofen (FLB) loaded NPs with different molecular weight (M) poly lactic--glycolic acid (PLGA) and investigate the effect of M on NP character. One of the most important objectives is to provide a high anti-inflammatory effect with a low dose and the anti-inflammatory efficacy of the selected optimal formulation is to be determined by hen's egg test on Chorioallantoic Membrane (HET-CAM) analysis that a new, popular and animal experiment alternative method.

Clarithromycin (CLR) is a member of the macrolide antibiotic group. CLR has low systemic oral bioavailability and is a drug of class II of the Biopharmaceutical Classification System. In many studies, using nanoparticles (NPs) as a drug delivery system has been shown to increase the effectiveness and bioavailability of active drug substances.

The objective of this study is to prepare vaginal suppository containing chemotherapeutic agent and genetic material that can be applied locally for cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is one of the most life-threatening types of cancer among women and is generally resistant to chemotherapy. Paclitaxel has been selected as chemotherapeutic agent, and siRNA that inhibits the Bcl-2 oncogene has been selected as the genetic material for simultaneous vaginal delivery.

Objectives: The objective of the present study was to formulate Desloratadine-Eudragit RS100 nanoparticles and investigate the characteristics of the prepared nanoparticles.

Materials And Methods: The nanoparticles were prepared by spray drying method and the quantification of desloratadine (DL) was carried out with a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method.

Results: DL was successfully loaded to polymer and the developed HPLC method was found to be linear, reproducible, precise, accurate, specific and selective.

In the present study, cyclosporine A (CsA) was successfully incorporated into cationic chitosan nanoparticles by spray-drying method aiming ocular application. Physicochemical characterisation of particles was performed in detail. Among the particles prepared using three types of chitosan with different molecular weights, particles containing chitosan with medium molecular weight was selected for in vivo studies.
