ABSTRACT
Controlled-drug-releasing materials show promising applications in medicinal bandages. In addition, one could incorporate drugs to make such bandages more versatile. During this context, silica microparticles were synthesized, during presence of different drugs namely sodium diclofenac, linoleic acid and recienoleic acid. The morphological characterization shows formation of monodispersed, silica microparticles. FT-IR spectroscopy provided the interaction of the drug molecule at its hydroxide (OH) site with oxygen ions on the silica surface. UV–vis spectroscopy showed persistence of the different drugs signature, especially its R group, confirming its antimicrobial activity even after conjugation. Using zone-of-inhibition studies, the antimicrobial studies were done on two microorganisms, namely, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. However, the encapsulator module showed controlled release of all drugs for the duration of 48 h. This work demonstrated an effective protocol to prepare antimicrobial patches for controlled drug delivery.
ABSTRACT
Ricinoleic acid (RA) is a C18 fatty acid (FA) with a double bond at the C 9 position and a hydroxyl group at the C(12) position (cis-12-hydroxyoctadeca-9-enoic acid). Recently, RA has been reported as a pro/antiinflammatory and analgesic agent for topical applications to be considered as an alternative to irritant substances that relive pain. However, RA when it is exposed to air, it reacts with the oxygen and decomposes into shortchain aldehydes and ketones. Moreover, pathologically, small amount of anesthetic agent acts on peripheral nerves, producing reversible block in transmission of peripheral nerves impulses. However, larger amounts effect potentially in the central nervous system and may cause cardiac arrest. Accordingly, extended release formulations for local anesthetic agent such as encapsulation, are highly demanded if the drug will be used for long period. In this work, ricinoleic acid, extracted and characterized, was encapsulated into a new matrix made of phospholipid liposomes and chitosan to protect and control RA release. RA release was controlled by crosslinking the matrices using glutaraldehyde. Spectral and morphology analysis are used to characterize the produced microsphere. The cytotoxicity test is considered to examine the final product biocompatibility. The encapsulation efficiency was investigated by UV- Visible spectroscopy.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To establish a determination for Ricinus communis L.and Carthamus tinctorius L.could in Anchan Emulsion. Methods: The determinations were carried out by GC. Chromatographic conditions were: using Chromosorb DEGS as a stationary phase column temperature 180 ?C , flame ionization detecter.Rusults:The content limit of Linoleic acid wasn't lower than 20%, The content limit of Ricinoleic acid wasn't lower than 20%.Conclusion: The established methods is simple, feasibl and reproducible. This study provides a method for the quality control of Anchan Emulsion.
