Physicochemical characterization of an arabinoxylan-rich fraction from brewers' spent grain and its application as a release matrix for caffeine.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
The brewers' spent grain is a by-product generated during brewery process and is a potential source for arabinoxylans (AX) extraction. In the present work, the extraction and characterization of an arabinoxylan-rich fraction from brewers' spent grain...

Comparison of response surface methodology and artificial neural network to optimize novel ophthalmic flexible nano-liposomes: Characterization, evaluation, in vivo pharmacokinetics and molecular dynamics simulation.

Colloids and surfaces. B, Biointerfaces
To improve the topical delivery of pilocarpine hydrochloride (PN) to treat glaucoma, flexible nano-liposomes containing PN (PN-FLs) were prepared, optimized and characterized. Artificial neural network (ANN) and response surface methodology (RSM) wer...

Robotic microplate voltammetry for real-time hydrogel drug release testing.

Analytica chimica acta
Robotic square wave voltammetry (SVW) in 24-well microtiter plates has been developed as a reliable non-manual procedure for quantifying drug release from pharmaceutical hydrogels. The assay was established using 1% agarose disks containing Paracetam...

Cell-Like Micromotors.

Accounts of chemical research
In the past decade, versatile micro- and nanosized machines have emerged as active agents for large-scale detoxification, sensing, microfabrication, and many other promising applications. Micromachines have also been envisioned as the next advancemen...

Statistical moments in modelling of swelling, erosion and drug release of hydrophilic matrix-tablets.

International journal of pharmaceutics
Statistical moments were evaluated as suitable parameters for describing swelling and erosion processes (along with drug release) in hydrophilic controlled release matrix tablets. The effect of four independent formulation variables, corresponding to...

Enhanced antitumor efficacy of doxorubicin-encapsulated halloysite nanotubes.

International journal of nanomedicine
To improve the antitumor efficacy of doxorubicin (DOX) and provide novel clinical treatment of gastric cancer, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) loaded with DOX were encapsulated by soybean phospholipid (LIP) and the formed HNTs/DOX/LIP was systematically ...

Medical capsule robots: A renaissance for diagnostics, drug delivery and surgical treatment.

Journal of controlled release : official journal of the Controlled Release Society
The advancements in electronics and the progress in nanotechnology have resulted in path breaking development that will transform the way diagnosis and treatment are carried out currently. This development is Medical Capsule Robots, which has emerged...

Design, preparation and characterization of pH-responsive prodrug micelles with hydrolyzable anhydride linkages for controlled drug delivery.

Journal of colloid and interface science
We report a new prodrug micelle-based approach in which a model hydrophobic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), ibuprofen (Ibu), is tethered to amphiphilic methoxy polyethylene glycol-polypropylene fumarate (mPEG-PPF) diblock copolymer via ...

Graphene oxide as a nanocarrier for controlled release and targeted delivery of an anticancer active agent, chlorogenic acid.

Materials science & engineering. C, Materials for biological applications
We have synthesized graphene oxide using improved Hummer's method in order to explore the potential use of the resulting graphene oxide as a nanocarrier for an active anticancer agent, chlorogenic acid (CA). The synthesized graphene oxide and chlorog...
