Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora spp. in horse population of Tehran, Iran.

Neospora spp. and Toxoplasma gondii are two closely related protozoan parasites that are widely distributed throughout the world. Horses can act as intermediate hosts for both parasites and can acquire disease.

Preparation, Physicochemical Characterization and Anti-Fungal Evaluation of Amphotericin B-Loaded PLGA-PEG-Galactosamine Nanoparticles.

The present study aimed to formulate PLGA and PLGA-PEG-galactosamine nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with amphotericin B with appropriate physicochemical properties and antifungal activity. PLGA was functionalized with GalN to increase the adhesion and antifungal activity of NPs against . The physicochemical properties of NPs were characterized by particle size determination, zeta potential, drug crystallinity, loading efficiency, dissolution studies, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR).

Preparation and Evaluation of Eudragit® L100 Nanoparticles Loaded Impregnated with KT Tromethamine Loaded PVA -HEC Insertions for Ophthalmic Drug Delivery.

The purpose of the present study was to improve the ocular delivery for ketorolac tromethamine (KT) used to treat inflammation of the eye. Eudragit nanoparticles loaded with KT were prepared and incorporated in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) films. Nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Formulation and Physicochemical Characterization of Cyclosporine Microfiber by Electrospinning.

The objective of this study was to improve the permeability and water solubility rate of a poor water soluble drug, cyclosporine A (CsA). In order to improve the drug dissolution rate and oral bioavailability, electrospinning method was used as an approach to prepare. The fibers were evaluated for surface morphology, thermal characterizations, drug crystallinity, drug release and bioavailability studies.

Preparation, Physicochemical Characterization and Anti-fungal Evaluation of Nystatin-Loaded PLGA-Glucosamine Nanoparticles.

Purpose: Nystatin loaded PLGA and PLGA-Glucosamine nanoparticles were formulated. PLGA were functionalized with Glucosamine (PLGA-GlcN) to enhance the adhesion of nanoparticles to Candida Albicans (C.albicans) cell walls.
