    Preparation and evaluation in vitro of colloidal lipospheres containing pilocarpine as ion pair

    No full text
    Aqueous dispersions of solid lipospheres containing up to 7.5% pilocarpine as lipophilic ion pairs were submitted to a preliminary evaluation. The lipospheres (diameter 75-85 nm) consisted mainly of stearic acid and egg lecithin; pilocarpine base was incorporated as ion pair with mono-octylphosphate, monodecylphosphate and monohexadecylphosphate. The following parameters were investigated: stability constants (β) and lipophilicity of the ion pairs, size, polydispersity and drug content of the lipospheres, pilocarpine release in vitro. The preparations might constitute a promising vehicle for sustained ocular delivery of pilocarpine

    Doxorubicine englobed in polybutylcyanoacrylate nanocapsules: behaviour in vitro and in vivo

    Nanocapsules of polybutylcyanoacrylate containing doxorubicine were prepared from w/o microemulsion. A concentration of about 10 % of the drug was obtained. After washing, dispersion and lyophilization of the nanocapsules, some experiments were performed in vivo and in vitro. About 1 % of doxorubicine was released in vitro in 48 hours; after injection on the hairless back of rabbits, the nanoparticles without the drug gave any inflammatory processes, while the nanocapsules containing doxorubicine gave a deeper and more prolonged ulcer than that of the same amount of doxorubicine in solution, indicating that practically all the drug was inside the nanocapsules

    Pertechnetate release from a water oil microemulsion and an aqueous-solution after subcutaneous injection in rabbits

    A water-oil microemulsion and an aqueous solution, both carrying pertechnetate, were injected subcutaneously in rabbits; release was observed by imaging the administration sites with a gamma-camera. Disappearance from the injection site of pertechnetate in aqueous solution was about ten times faster than that of pertechnetate in a microemulsion
