Enteric coated naproxen (Nycopren) was compared with standard naproxen in a double blind comparative trial of 348 patients with either rheumatoid or osteoarthritis. There were slightly fewer gastric side effects and slightly fewer withdrawals because of side effects in the enteric coated naproxen group but the differences did not reach statistical significance. There was no significant difference in the efficacy of the two formulations. A satisfaction index was used to assess the therapeutic ratio with visual analogue scales assigned to both efficacy and side effects. The scale performed as intended and is worthy of further exploration.

This was an original study that mainly explored the effect of probiotic therapy and personalized nursing on immune function in children with acute gastroenteritis. One hundred and twelve (112) children with acute gastroenteritis were selected and divided into an intervention group and a control group. The control group accepted omeprazole enteric-coated capsules and routine nursing.

In this study, we developed calcium alginate-coated nanovesicles derived from macrophage membranes loaded with berberine (Ber@MVs-CA) for the oral treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Ber@MVs-CA demonstrates resistance to gastric acid and controlled drug release in the colonic pH environment, while actively targeting sites of ulcerative colitis injury. pH-responsive release of Ber in Ber@MVs-CA was confirmed through in vitro release experiments.

In Vivo Animal Spices and Experimental Technique to Evaluate Sustained Release Granules.

Biopharm Drug Dispos

January 2025

Bioavailability Research Project, Formulation Research Institute, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., Tokushima, Japan.

Establishment of a suitable animal model to evaluate sustained release (SR) formulations is very important because it reduces the development time of SR formulations. Beagle dogs are often used to evaluate prototype formulations since they can be directly administered powder, such as drug substance. However, the physiological condition of dogs is very different to that of humans.
