Abstract The development of systems for targeted delivery Sorafenib in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma to reduce the systemic toxicity is a challenge. In our article, we successfully prepared core‐shell microcapsules based on bovine serum albumin gel with polyelectrolyte complex multilayer shell polysaccharides opposite charges, hyaluronic acid, and chitosan, encapsulating Sorafenib, as targeting system improved therapy. A core was formed by method sacrificial CaCO 3 template, followed...

In the present study, Zn-hydroxyapatite (Zn-HA) was synthesized, powder thermally treated at different temperatures and then characterized. The Zn-HA characterized mainly by FTIR XRD, but have been performed investigations like SEM, BET size distribution. addition of ZnO in hydroxyapatite causes alleged interactions with existing groups HA, which amend corresponding signals to these IR spectra. X-ray diffractograms for samples (untreated heat-treated) recorded microstructural parameters all...

We confirmed, on the basis of chemical and physicochemical (melting points, IR- 1H-NMR-spectra) data, that products isolated by monoacylation cyclic maleic- phthalic-hydrazides have only O-acyl derivatives nature although owing to tautomerism. These hydrazides may give rise N- or/and in such reactions. Simultaneously, we showed claims for obtainment N-acyl were not valid. Also reacting maleic-, respectively phthalic-hydrazide, with 4-chlorobenzoylchloride two new O-monoacylderivatives [3-(...
