FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF SERTACONAZOLE NITRATE MICROSPONGE GEL
In the present study, controlled release sertaconazole nitrate (SZN) microsponge gel for topical delivery was formulated and evaluated. Microsponges were prepared successfully using six different proportions of ethyl cellulose as a polymer, using PVA as surfactant by the quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion method. The influence of the drug to polymer ratio, surfactant concentration, inner phase volum...

EXPLORING THE STATE-OF-ART OF NANOSUSPENSIONS: THEORETICAL ASPECTS, FORMULATION AND CHARACTERIZATION
Nanosuspensions have emerged as a promising strategy for the efficient delivery of drugs because of their versatile features and unique advantages. Nanosuspensions are colloidal dispersions and biphasic system consisting of drug particles dispersed in an aqueous vehicle in which the diameter of the suspended particle is less than 1 μm in size. Reduction of drug particles to nanometer range leads ...

CYCLODEXTRIN BASED METAXALONE NANOCRYSTALS: ROLE IN SOLUBILITY AND BIOAVAILABILITY ENHANCEMENT
The present work employed preparation of metaxalone nanocrystals (MNC) by emulsion solvent diffusion method using β-cyclodextrin (CD) as stabilizer. Nanocrystals were characterized for morphology by scanning electron microscopy, crystallinity by powder x-ray diffraction and particle size by zeta sizer. Solubility study of metaxalone (MTX) and MNC was performed in distilled water, 7.4 phosphate bu...

DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF ORLISTAT LIPOSOMAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS
In this study, orlistat liposomes were developed and characterized for the physical as well as chemical parameters by ethanol injection method. Formula optimization studies were utilized to investigate the impact of different molar ratios of orlistat drug, soya phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol on physical appearance, pH, density, % drug entrapment efficiency, particle size, polydispersity index...

DESIGN AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ACYCLOVIR NANOCRYSTALS FOR ENHANCEMENT OF SOLUBILITY AND BIOAVAILABILITY
The objective of this research work was to enhance solubility and dissolution profile of acyclovir. Nanocrystals were prepared by an anti-solvent precipitation process supplemented by sonication using different stabilizers. The formed nanocrystals were of 376-1085 nm in size. Formulations NC7 and NC8 showed marked improvement in dissolution compared to pure drug, thus greater bioavailability. Thes...

DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF COLON PH TRIGGERED MULTIPARTICULATE DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR ULCERATIVE COLITIS
The purpose of the present study was to develop and characterize mesalamine microsphere to target colon for ulcerative colitis. Mesalamine is a drug with low solubility so in order to increase its solubility the solid dispersions of mesalamine were prepared by using kneading method with three different carriers, poly vinyl pyyrolidone (PVP K-30), poly ethylene glycol (PEG 4000) and β-cyclodextrin...
