Controlled release of dexamethasone from PLGA microspheres embedded within polyacid-containing PVA hydrogels
The development of zero-order release systems capable of delivering drug(s) over extended periods of time is deemed necessary for a variety of biomedical applications. We hereby describe a simple, yet versatile, delivery...
Neuropeptide-processing enzymes: Applications for drug discovery
Neuropeptides serve many important roles in communication between cells and are an attractive target for drug discovery. Neuropeptides are produced from precursor proteins by selective cleavages at specific sites, and ar...
Selective and validated spectrophotometric methods for the determination of nicorandil in pharmaceutical formulations
Two simple and sensitive validated spectrophotometric methods have been described for the assay of nicorandil in drug formulations. Method A is based on the reaction of the drug with phloroglucinol-sulfanilic acid reagen...
Procedural elements involved in maintaining bioanalytical data integrity for good laboratory practices studies and regulated clinical studies
This article describes procedural elements involved in ensuring the integrity of bioanalytical data. These elements can be divided into 3 areas. First, there are those ensuring the integrity of the analyte until analysis...
A mucoadhesive, cyclodextrin-based vaginal cream formulation of itraconazole
The development of vaginal medications, especially antifungal medications, requires that the drug is solubilized as well as retained at or near the mucosa for sufficient periods of time to ensure adequate bioavailability...
