Photo Responsive Biodegradable Nanoparticle Forming Intrauterine Implant for Drug Delivery to Treat Ovarian Diseases: A Rationale-based Review.

Ovarian disease constitutes various types of endocrine disorders, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), ovarian cancer, premature ovarian failure, ovarian endometriosis, and ovarian cysts. The prevalence of ovarian-related diseases is highly vulnerable in the world. The utility of various drug delivery systems for ovarian diseases has resulted in varied success.

Formulation and Evaluation of Sintered Floating Tablets of Cefpodoxime Proxetil.

Objectives: To develop sintered floating tablets of CP using locust bean gum as a release-controlling material. CP is an orally- administered, extended-spectrum, semi-synthetic antibiotic of the cephalosporin class.

Materials And Methods: CP has a short elimination half-life, possesses high solubility, chemical, enzymatic stability and absorption profiles in acidic pH, which makes it a suitable candidate for formulation in a gastro-retentive dose form for improved bioavailability.

Thermal sintering: a novel technique in the design of gastroretentive floating tablets of propranolol HCl and its evaluation.

The aim of the present investigation was to formulate thermally sintered floating tablets of propranolol HCl, and to study the effect of sintering conditions on drug release, as well as their in vitro buoyancy properties. A hydrophilic polymer, polyethylene oxide, was selected as a sintered polymer to retard the drug release. The formulations were prepared by a direct compression method and were evaluated by in vitro dissolution studies.
