Modelling and shadowgraph imaging of cocrystal dissolution and assessment of in vitro antimicrobial activity for sulfadimidine/4-aminosalicylic acid cocrystals
(2016)Purpose: The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of crystal habit on the dissolution and in vitro antibacterial and anitiprotozoal activity of sulfadimidine:4-aminosalicylic acid cocrystals. Methods: Cocrystals ... -
Impact of substrate properties on the formation of spherulitic films: a case study of salbutamol sulfate
(2016)Spherulitic assemblies have applications as carriers for drug delivery and as targeting vectors. Presently, the driving force behind the formation of spherulites comprising small drug molecules is not fully understood. ... -
Cocrystal habit engineering to improve drug dissolution and alter derived powder properties
(2016)Objectives: Cocrystallization of sulfadimidine (SDM) with suitable coformers, such as 4-aminosalicylic acid (4-ASA), combined with changes in the crystal habit can favourably alter its physicochemical properties. The aim ... -
Emerging nanonisation technologies: tailoring crystalline versus amorphous nanomaterials
(2015)The overall pharmaceutical market is changing. A more personalised medicine approach is replacing the concept of blockbuster drugs and the “one size fits all” model. The two main forces that fuel the growth of nano-enabled ... -
Development of a novel dry powder inhalation formulation for the delivery of rivastigmine hydrogen tartrate
(2016)he purpose of this study was to prepare engineered particles of rivastigmine hydrogen tartrate (RHT) and to characterize the physicochemical and aerodynamic properties, in comparison to a lactose carrier formulation (LCF). ... -
Comparative evaluation of rivastigmine permeation from a transdermal system in the Franz cell using synthetic membranes and pig ear skin with in vivo-in vitro correlation
(2016)In the present study, in vitro permeation experiments in a Franz diffusion cell were performed using different synthetic polymeric membranes and pig ear skin to evaluate a rivastigmine (RV) transdermal drug delivery system. ... -
Mitigating unwanted amorphisation: A screening method for the selection of suitable excipients
(2016)Co-processing an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) with a low Tg excipient has been previously reported to be an effective strategy for preventing drug amorphisation on milling. This technique relies on the ability ... -
Novel Selective Butyrylcholinesterase Inhibitors Incorporating Antioxidant Functionalities as Potential Bimodal Therapeutics for Alzheimer's Disease
(2016)sosorbide-2-carbamates-5-aryl esters are highly potent and very selective butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors. The objective of the present work was to address the hypothesis that the isosorbide-aryl-5-ester group could be ... -
A Central Role for Monocyte-Platelet Interactions in Heart Failure
(2015)Heart failure (HF) is an increasingly prevalent and costly multifactorial syndrome with high morbidity and mortality rates. The exact pathophysiological mechanisms leading to the development of HF are not completely ... -
Stress-Related Immune Markers in Depression: Implications for Treatment
(2016)Major depression is a serious psychiatric disorder; however, the precise biological basis of depression still remains elusive. A large body of evidence implicates a dysregulated endocrine and inflammatory response system ... -
Stress-related regulation of the kynurenine pathway: Relevance to neuropsychiatric and degenerative disorders
(2017)The kynurenine pathway (KP), which is activated in times of stress and infection has been implicated in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. Activation of this tryptophan metabolising pathway ... -
Soluble beta amyloid evokes alteration in brain norepinephrine levels: Role of nitric oxide and interleukin-1
(2015)Strong evidence showed neurotoxic properties of beta amyloid (Aβ) and its pivotal role in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Beside, experimental data suggest that Aβ may have physiological roles considering that ...
