The aim of this study was to develop a stable cream from local desert plant capable producing Antisebum effects. Two creams (emulsions) were prepared, both which w/o type. One the formulation in 5% extract obtained plant Capparis decidua was added during preparation and other base or control not while ingredients same as that formulation. Thirteen healthy male volunteers selected their initial sebum readings cheeks noted with help Sebumeter. given asked apply on face daily two times, right...

Abstract This study aims to formulate mucoadhesive vancomycin loaded thiolated chitosan (TCS) nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are and enhance the retention of drug at ocular site. For this purpose, TCS were prepared by ion-gelation method characterized for their size, shape, polydispersity index, mucoadhesion, cellular uptake anti-inflammatory activity. The average size synthesized was found be 288 nm with positive zeta potential. Moreover, 85% successfully encapsulated in using method. A...

Oral absorption is limited for many small-molecule drugs due to their poor aqueous solubility as well as, some, membrane permeation. One such levosulpiride (LSP), used treat psychotic and other conditions. The present study aims explore the effect of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) delivery LSP. permeation LSP in vitro ex vivo effects on epithelium mucosa was monitored. In studies exhibited an 8-fold 1.6-fold increase P

Hydrotropes are the nontoxic small organic molecules that at certain concentrations result in solubility enhancement of poorly water-soluble compounds. In this study various hydrotropes including nicotinamide, sodium acetate and trisodium citrate were used varying ratios to observe effect on Ebastine. Various combinations drug-hydrotrope complexes prepared with each above mentioned using solvent evaporation technique. The resultant residues subjected analytical characterization techniques...
