A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON SELF-MICRO EMULSIFYING DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS: A POTENTIAL STRATEGY FOR DRUGS WITH POOR ORAL BIOAVAILABILITY
Currently a marked interest in developing lipid-based formulations to deliver lipophilic compounds. Self-emulsifying system has emerged as a dynamic strategy for delivering poorly water-soluble compounds. These systems can embrace a wide variety of oils, surfactants, and co-solvents. An immediate fine emulsion is obtained on exposure to water/gastro-intestinal fluids. The principal interest is to develop a robust formula for biopharmaceutical challenging drug molecules. Starting with a brief classification system, this review signifies diverse mechanisms concerning lipid-based excipients besides their role in influencing bioavailability, furthermore pertaining to their structured formulation aspects. Consecutive steps are vital in developing lipid-based systems for biopharmaceutical challenging actives. Such a crucial structured development is critical for achieving an optimum formula. Hence lipid excipients are initially scrutinized for their solubility and phase behavior, along with biological effects. Blends are screened by means of simple dilution test and are consequently studied with more advanced biopharmaceutical tests. After discerning of the principle formula, diverse technologies are offered to incorporate the fill-mass either in soft/hard gelatin capsules. There is also feasibility to formulated lipid-system as a solid dosage form. Although such solid technologies are desirable but such should not undermine the biopharmaceutical potential of lipid-formulations
Beyond Breathless: Unravelling The Enigma Of Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations
Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) are abnormal connections between the pulmonary arteries and veins, leading to a direct shunting of blood without passing through the normal capillary bed. These AVMs can be associated with a rare genetic disorder called Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome. HHT is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the development of fragile telangiectasias in various organs, including the skin and mucous membranes. These telangiectasias are prone to bleeding, leading to recurrent nosebleeds and mucocutaneous bleeding. In patients with HHT, the most common site of AVMs is in the lungs. Pulmonary AVMs can cause significant health risks due to the right-to-left shunting of blood, leading to hypoxemia and possible complications like stroke, cerebral abscesses, and heart failure
FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF ACECLOFENAC PRONIOSOME LOADED ORABASE FOR MANAGEMENT OF DENTAL PAIN
Objective: The main motive is to develop proniosomes loaded orabase for enhanced permeation and prolonged release of aceclofenac for oro dental conditions.Methods: Various aceclofenac (ACL) proniosomal gels were formulated employing various surfactants, span 60 was superior and significant for loading into orabase. The formulations were scrutinized for entrapment efficiency, optical microscopy, in vitro diffusion and release studies, mucoadhesive strength, ex-vivo permeation studies and drug-excipient interactions were determined by FTIR spectroscopy.Results: Considering best entrapment efficiency with span 60 (97.60±1.85) and optimum vesicle shape, along with prolonged drug permeation (45% for 24 h) the formulation F(ACL)1 was selected and optimized for loading into orabase. The F(ACL)1 loaded orabase exhibited significant prolonged release over 14 h, and permeation profiles exhibited nearly two-fold increased flux in comparison with control. Good mucoadhesive strength was observed for proniosomal orabase 6370 dynes/cm2. No evidence of incompatibility amongst formulation components from FTIR studies. SEM images revealed the particle size range from 136 µm to 236 µm for proniosomal orabase.Conclusion: Orabase can be an effective carrier for proniosomes with enhanced permeation and prolonged release for oro-dental conditions
Analytical RP-HPLC Method for Development And Validation Of Pregabalin In Bulk And The Determination Of Pregabalin In Capsule Dosage Form
ABSTRACT: This work is concerned with application of simple, accurate, precise and selective reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for determination of pregabalin in bulk and determination of pregabalin capsule dosage form. Chromatographic separation was achieved gradiently using waters alliance 2695 separation module, C18 column ( 250 x 4.6 mm, 3.5 µm)at temperature 25 o C . Flow rate selected was 0.8 ml/min using PDA detector at 210 nm. Mobile phase was prepared using A-pump 10 mM NH 4 OAC in water (pH-6.8) and B-pump acetonitrile and methanol in the ratio of 80:20 which gave better resolution and sensitivity. The developed method was validated with respect to linearity, specificity, precession robustness and accuracy. .Recent studies have shown that pregabalin is effective at treating chronic pain in disorders such as fibromyalgia I.INTRODUCTION II.EXPERIMENTAL Materials i.
