The study aimed to develop thiolated pluronic-based self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) targeted delivery of Rifampicin coated by arginine for enhanced drug loading, mucoadhesion, muco penetration, site-specific delivery, stabilized delivery against intracellular mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), decreased bacterial burden and production by intracellular targeting. Oleic oil, PEG 200 and Tween 80 are selected as oil, co-surfactant and surfactant based on solubilizing capacity and pseudo ternary diagram region.

Benign hyperplasia (BHP) is a common disorder that affects men over the age of 60 years. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the gold standard for operative treatment, but a range of drugs are also available to improve quality of life and to reduce BHP-associated urinary tract infections and complications. Darifenacin, an anti-muscarinic agent, has been found effective for relieving symptoms of overactive bladder associated with BHP, but the drug has poor solubility and bioavailability, which are major challenges in product development.

In terms of delivery systems for active compounds, orally disintegrating films are a great option. The initial stage in creating an oral disintegrating film is selecting a film-forming polymer. The basic polymers combination Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC), which is co-processed with Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium (CMC) and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose were used to create an oral disintegrating film that contains cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), a fat-soluble vitamin that aids in the body's absorption of calcium and phosphorus.

The purpose of present work was to develop a novel analytical method for orally given leukotriene antagonist Zafirlukast (ZST), present in Meglumine and Eudragit EEPO based solid dispersion formulation. Four simple, extraction-free, fast, and economical methods based on charge transfer complexation among nitrogen of ZST with sulfonyl group comprising chromogenic mediator bromophenol blue (BPB-Method B), bromothymol blue (BTB-Method C) and bromocresol green (BCG-Method D). The first method (A) is based on the analysis using 0.

The objective of this work was to formulate co-loaded bilayer tablets containing ezetimibe (EZB) and atorvastatin (ATC). ATC loaded in the immediate-release (IR) layer is an HMG CoA reductase inhibitor, while EZB, added in the sustained-release (SR) layer, is a lipid-lowering agent. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of polymer on the formulation and characterization of bilayer tablets, as well as the therapeutic impact of the concurrent use of both drugs having a sequential release pattern.

Unlabelled: In this study, an inorganic-organic composite system was developed through biomineralization of calcium carbonate in the quince-seed mucilage-based hydrogel. Drug-polymer interactions were studied by FTIR, DSC, XRD and SEM analysis. The water absorption capacity was calculated by swelling index.

In the present study chitosan derivative, O-carboxymethylated chitosan (O-CMC) was synthesized by simple and cost-effective technique and scrutinized for in-vivo anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Na-carboxymethyl intermediate was prepared by acidification of chitosan with monochloroacetic acid and neutralized with 0.5 M NaOH which was further converted into O-CMC by using 0.

Objective of the study was to perform a physico-chemical modification of low molecular weight chitosan (CTS) followed by its use in the formulation of nanoparticles carrier of Acyclovir (ACY). Modified polymer was used to develop ACY loaded nanoparticles in order to achieve optimal response and to minimize toxic effects of ACY. CTS were dissolved in varying concentrations of potassium hydroxide solution to synthesize N, O-carboxymethylated chitosan (N,O-CMC).

The study was conducted to formulate and assess a novel polypill comprising of atorvastatin calci- um (ATVC), clopidogrel bisulfate (CLB) and aspirin (ASP) which, after in vivo correlation, can be intended for use in hyperlipidemic chronic heart disease patients. Polypill was made by the compression coating technique (CCT) with multiple active ingredients along with different concentrations of mucoadhesive and sustained release polymers, i.e.
