Encapsulated curcumin results in prolonged curcumin activity in vitro and radical scavenging activity ex vivo on skin after UVB-irradiation.

N Suwannateep et al.

European journal of pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics : official journal of Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Pharmazeutische Verfahrenstechnik e.V, 82(3), 485-490 (2012-09-08)

The phytochemical curcumin possesses antioxidant activity; however, it becomes unstable after being exposed to light or heat or loses activity during storage. This is especially important when curcumin is applied to the skin within a cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulation, since

Formulation development and investigation of ibuprofen controlled release tablets with hydrophilic polymers and the effect of co-excipients on drug release patterns.

Syed Umer Jan et al.

Pakistan journal of pharmaceutical sciences, 25(4), 751-756 (2012-09-27)

The aim and objective of the present study was to formulate and evaluate controlled release polymeric tablets of ibuprofen with determinations of formulation factors using various grades and types of polymer ethocel i.e. ethocel standard 10P; 10FP, 100P and100FP for

Low molecular mass chitosan as carrier for a hydrodynamically balanced system for sustained delivery of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride.

Anurag Verma et al.

Acta pharmaceutica (Zagreb, Croatia), 62(2), 237-250 (2012-07-04)

Chitosan has become a focus of major interest in recent years due to its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability and non-toxicity. Although this material has already been extensively investigated in the design of different types of drug delivery systems, it is still
