Cytotoxic effect of double emulsion (w/o/w) cuso4 loaded pla nanoparticles on mkn-45 gastric adenocarcinoma cell line

Int. j. morphol; 32 (1), 2014
Poly (L-lactic acid) (PLA) nanoparticles have the approval of the main institutions for drugs administration and therapeutics. However, the use of lactic acid polymer is controversial because lactic acid has been proposed as an energy source for cancer cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cyt...

Efecto de la maca peruana (lepidium meyenii) y de la melatonina sobre el desarrollo testicular del ratón expuesto a hipoxia hipobárica continua

Int. j. morphol; 32 (1), 2014
El estudio de la hipoxia hipobárica (HH) determina un problema de salud pública y laboral en poblaciones que habitan en zonas de altura. La disminución del oxígeno afecta a diferentes órganos, incluyendo el testículo. El organismo responde frente a la hipoxia estimulando la angiogénesis, el flujo ...

Effects of malathion on cellularity and sperm differentiation in testis and epididymis of adult rats

Int. j. morphol; 32 (1), 2014
Malathion is an organophosphorous insecticide, used worldwide for pest and disease control; however, it could also affect the reproductive patterns of several species. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of malathion in the cellularity and sperm differentiation in testis and epididymis of ...

A single high dose of chlorpyrifos reduces long-term basal c-fos expression in the rat arcuate hypothalamic nucleus

Int. j. morphol; 32 (1), 2014
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is an organophosphate compound used worldwide as a pesticide in agriculture that, after subcutaneous injection, keeps acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity inhibited within an organism for months. Ample clinical and experimental evidence shows that CPF exposure induces relevant and pers...

Development and optimization of self microemulsifying drug delivery of domperidone

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (1), 2014
The present investigation is aimed to develop self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) to improve the in vitro dissolution of a BCS (Biopharmaceutical Classification System) class II anti emetic agent, domperidone. Solubility study was performed to identify the ingredients showing highest solu...

Anticonvulsant profile of 2-ethylthio-7-methyl-4-(4-methylphenyl)pyrazolo[1, 5-a][1, 3, 5]triazine

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (1), 2014
This work evaluates the central nervous effects in ICR strain mice of 2-ethylthio-7-methyl-4-(4-methylphenyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazine (MH4b1), a compound obtained by an efficient one-step reaction of S,S-diethyl 4-methylbenzoylimidodithiocarbonate with 5-amino-3-methyl-1H-pyrazole, in order to asse...

Design and optimization of novel in situ gel of mercaptopurine for sustained drug delivery

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (1), 2014
Mercaptopurine is a purine antagonist, belonging to the class of antimetabolites. Its oral absorption is erratic and variable throughout GIT, with bioavailability of 5-37% and belongs to Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) class IV. The focus of the present study was to improve solubility of me...

Effects of nanosuspension and inclusion complex techniques on the in vitro protease inhibitory activity of naproxen

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (1), 2014
This study investigated the effects of nanosuspension and inclusion complex techniques on in vitro trypsin inhibitory activity of naproxen—a member of the propionic acid derivatives, which are a group of antipyretic, analgesic, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Nanosuspension and inclusion...

pH-sensitive polyvinylpyrrolidone-acrylic acid hydrogels: Impact of material parameters on swelling and drug release

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (1), 2014
In this study, we fabricated pH-sensitive polyvinylpyrrolidone/acrylic acid (PVP/AA) hydrogels by a free-radical polymerisation method with variation in the content of monomer, polymer and cross-linking agent. Swelling was performed in USP phosphate buffer solutions of pH 1.2, 5.5, 6.5 and 7.5 with const...
