In this study, chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) were used to create ternary blends reinforced with organically modified montmorillonite nanoclay. Tramadol was used as a model drug to assess the efficacy of these ternary blends as drug delivery systems. The current work demonstrated the highly controlled release of tramadol transdermal administration.

The conductive composite Co@SnO-PANI was successfully synthesized using hydrothermal/oxidative synthesis. Using differential pulse voltammetry, a glassy carbon electrode modified with a CoSnO-PANI (polyaniline)-based electrochemical biosensor has been created for the quick detection of two phenolics, hydroquinone (Hq) and catechol (Cat). Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurements revealed two well-resolved, strong peaks for GCE@Co-SnO-PANI, which corresponded to the oxidation of Hq and Cat at 275.

Porcine Pancreatic Elastase (PPE) is a serine protease that is homologous to trypsin and chymotrypsin that are involved in various pathologies like inflammatory disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), acute respiratory distress syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and atherosclerosis. PPE if remained uninhibited would lead to digestion of important connective tissue. We developed new structurally diverse series of adamantyl-iminothiazolidinone hybrids to divulge elastase inhibition assay.
