    Free fatty acids possess antimicrobial properties in the natural defense system of many eukaryotes. In this study, we synthesized nanoformulations of myristic acid for antimicrobial activity. The myristic acid nanoformulations (MN) were unstable due to crystallization. This problem was overcome by the addition of the liquid fatty acids and by using two surfactants of hydrophilic and lipophilic nat... Details

    Sustained release matrix tablets of venlafaxine were formulated using synthetic polymers (ethylcellulose & hydroxypropyl methylcellulose). Six (06) different batches of matrix tablets of venlafaxine (dose 75 mg) were prepared by the wet granulation method. Polymers were used alone or in combination. The physical properties of compressed tablets were evaluated. In vitro release drug studies wer... Details

    This article discusses the mathematical pharmacokinetic models with reference to one open compartment model in detail. Four types of models, IV, bolus, extravascular 1st and 0 order, have been studied. Mathematical approaches to predict the pharmacokinetic parameters, including elimination half-life, rate constant and drug clearance, have been included. This article focuses on the significance of ... Details

    Pharmacokinetic models utilize mathematical terms to do pharmacokinetic analysis. Pharmacokinetic analysis of drug is defined as an experimental method to find drug exposure once administered or how does drug behave inside the body. Pharmacokinetic parameters determined include drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination after its administration. These two types of models are used co... Details
