NIOSOMES IN TARGETED DRUG DELIVERY: SOME RECENT ADVANCES

Niosomes are self assembled vesicles composed primarily of synthetic surfactants and cholesterol. They are analogous in structure to the more widely studied liposomes formed from biologically derived phospholipids. Niosomes represent an emerging class of novel vesicular systems. Niosome formation requires the presence of a particular class of amphiphile and aqueous solvent. In recent years a compr...

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERISATION OF IBUPROFEN, KETOPROFEN PRODRUG FOR TASTE MASKING USING β- CYCLODEXTRIN

The Profens have indicated the gastrointestinal side effects due to the acidic moiety of the profen. The Profens are bitter in taste and it is omitted by mostly children. Therefore an attempt has been made to prepare the ester Prodrug using ethyl alcohol and butyl alcohol and its bitter taste is masked by using β-Cyclodextrin. The prepared prodrugs are characterised by melting point, UV and IR sp...
