Particle size analysis: AAPS workshop report, cosponsored by the Food and Drug Administration and the United States Pharmacopeia
Journal Title: The AAPS Journal - Year 2004, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The concepts of particle engineering and dosage form design have become dominant themes in pharmaceutical manufacturing. This trend is not simply a reflection of the development of new, more sophisticated manufacturing methods of particles or dispersed systems but also recognition of the importance of quality control even in more traditional manufacturing processes. However, the diversity of particle treatments, methods of particle size analysis, expression and interpretation of data, and process applications results in complicated and sometimes confusing criteria for selection, adoption, or relevance of the available techniques.

Curcumin and Cancer Cells: How Many Ways Can Curry Kill Tumor Cells Selectively?
Cancer is a hyperproliferative disorder that is usually treated by chemotherapeutic agents that are toxic not only to tumor cells but also to normal cells, so these agents produce major side effects. In addition, these a...
Metabolism of GTI-2040, a phosphorothioate oligonucleotide antisense, using ion-pair reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with electrospray ion-trap mass spectrometry
GTI-2040 is a 20-mer phosphorothioate oligonucleotide, which is complementary to the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) of the R2 subunit of ribonucleotide reductase. This study characterized both the in vivo and in vitro...
Pharmacogenomic responses of rat liver to methylprednisolone: An approach to mining a rich microarray time series
A data set was generated to examine global changes in gene expression in rat liver over time in response to a single bolus dose of methylprednisolone. Four control animals and 43 drug-treated animals were humanely killed...
Receptor binding studies of soft anticholinergic agents
Receptor binding studies were performed on 24 soft anticholinergic agents and 5 conventional anticholinergic agents using 4 cloned human muscarinic receptor subtypes. The measured pKi values of the soft anticholinergic a...
Peptide-guided gene delivery
Although currently less efficient than their viral counter-parts, nonviral vectors are under intense investigation as a safer alternative for gene therapy. For successful delivery, the nonviral vector must be able to ove...
