The results of PLS-DA depicted a perfect classification of the tablets into three different groups based on their DS concentrations, while the developed model with PLS had a sufficiently low root mean square error (RMSE) for the prediction of the samples’ concentration (~5%) and therefore can be practically used for any tablet with an Citation: Siozou, E.; Sakkas, V.; Kourkoumelis, N.

Bumadizone Calcium has short half-life (4hrs) and undergoes first pass metabolism. It is pH-dependent. This research work was carried out to improve the bioavailability, patient compliance on oral colon targeted drug delivery. Bumadizone Calcium sustained release enteric coated pellets were prepared, which minimize the release of drug in stomach for treatment of IBD formulated by Extrusion Spheronization process. Experimental work done: Enteric coated pellets prepared by Extrusion Spheronization technique. Eudragit S100, HPMC, PVP K30, and Ethyl Cellulose were used as rate controlling polymers. In this study, a pH dependent colon targeted enteric coated pellets was established using 32 full factorial design by giving enteric coating with Eudragit S100. Different Concentration of Eudragit S100 as an enteric coating material (4%, 5%, & %6) and PVP K30 as a Binder (0.5%, 1% & 1.5%) are taken for the measurements of % Drug Release that are performed by using USP dissolution 1 (Basket type) at 50 rpm.

Nour, Nevine Shawky Abdelmalak, and Marianne J. Naguib Faculty of Pharmacy, Department of Pharmaceutics, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt Abstract Keywords The objective of this study was the development of a colon-targeted microspheres which were Bumadizone calcium, colon targeting, compressed into tablets containing the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory bumadizone calcium histopathology, microspheres compressed 2 dihydrate. A 3 full factorial design was adopted for the evaluation of the prepared into tablets, myeloperoxidase activity, microspheres. The effect of two independent variables namely polymer type (Eudragit RS100, pharmacokinetic parameters ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate butyrate), and drug: polymer ratio (1:1, 9:1 and 18:1) was studied on the entrapment efficiency and in vitro drug release for 12 h. Colon targeting aims History to minimize the release of the drug off target area (pH 1.2 and 6.8) and to maximize the release of the drug in target area (pH 7.4). Candidate formulae were compressed into core tablets Received 12 January 2014 and colon targeting was achieved using the enzyme-dependent polymer (pectin) as coat in Revised 26 January 2014 three different concentrations 50, 75 and 90%. Candidate formula F15 (microspheres prepared Accepted 28 January 2014 using BDZ:CAB in a ratio of 18:1 and compressed into tablets using 50% pectin and 50% Avicel in the coat) was able to adequately modulate drug release avoiding drug release in the gastric ambient, and reaching the colonic targeting where 99.7% release was achieved within 12 h following zero-order model.

The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common problems and to take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities.

  • Analytical Study of Selected Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
    Analytical Study of Selected Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Thesis Presented by Enas Taha Abdelhamed M.Sc. in Pharmaceutical Sciences Pharmaceutical Chemistry Faculty of Pharmacy - Cairo University 2012 Submitted for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Pharmaceutical Sciences (Pharmaceutical Chemistry) Under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Sonia Talat Hassib Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry Faculty of Pharmacy - Cairo University Prof. Dr. Ghaneya Sayed Hassan Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry Faculty of Pharmacy - Cairo University Prof. Dr. Asmaa Ahmed El-Zaher Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry Faculty of Pharmacy - Cairo University Dr. Marwa Ahmed Fouad Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry Faculty of Pharmacy - Cairo University Faculty of Pharmacy Cairo University 2018 Abstract Four simple, accurate, sensitive and economic Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic (ATR-FTIR) methods have been developed for the quantitative estimation of some non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs alone or in presence of related substances. The first method involves the determination of etodolac by direct measurement of the absorbance at 1716 cm-1. In the second method, the second derivative of the IR spectra of tolfenamic acid and its imperity (2-chlorobenzoic acid) was used and the amplitudes were measured at 1084.27 cm-1 and 1058.02 cm-1 for tolfenamic acid and 2-chlorobenzoic acid, respectively. The third method used the first derivative of the IR spectra of bumadizone and its reported degradation product, N,N-diphenylhydrazine and the amplitudes were measured at 2874.98 cm-1 and 2160.32 cm-1 for bumadizone and N,N-diphenylhydrazine, respectively. The fourth method depends on measuring the amplitude of diacerein at 1059.18 cm-1 and of rhein, its reported degradation product, at 1079.32 cm-1 in their first derivative spectra.
