Efficient immobilization of agarase using carboxyl-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles as support

Background: A simple and efficient strategy for agarase immobilization was developed with carboxyl-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (CMNPs) as support. The CMNPs and immobilized agarase (agarase-CMNPs) were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, vibrating sample...

Solubility and dissolution studies of tibolone polymorphs

ABSTRACT Different solid forms of an active pharmaceutical ingredient can have distinct chemical and physical characteristics. In this work, we studied the solubility and dissolution properties of the described tibolone polymorphic forms (I and II). Both forms were successively recrystallized and charact...

Effect of ceramic thickness, grinding, and aging on the mechanical behavior of a polycrystalline zirconia

Abstract Monolithic restorations of Y-TZP have been recommended as a restorative alternative on prosthetic dentistry as it allows a substantial reduction of ceramic thickness, which means a greater preservation of tooth structure. However, the influence of grinding and aging when using a thinner layer of...

Corrosion behavior of zirconia in acidulated phosphate fluoride

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (1), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective The corrosion behavior of zirconia in acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) representing acidic environments and fluoride treatments was studied. Material and Methods Zirconia rods were immersed in 1.23% and 0.123% APF solutions and maintained at 37°C for determined periods of time....

Microbial-induced remediation of Zn2+ pollution based on the capture and utilization of carbon dioxide

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (1), 2016
Background: Microbial-induced remediation of Zn2+ pollution based on the capture and utilization of carbon dioxide was investigated. In this study, carbon dioxide was absorbed and transformed into carbonate ions under the enzymatic action of Paenibacillus mucilaginosus, which was being utilized to minera...

Obtenção de gel mucoadesivo de nistatina para o tratamento da candidíase oral. Desenvolvimento e caracterização de dispersões sólidas de nistatina

A nistatina (NYS) é o fármaco de primeira escolha no tratamento da candidíase oral, que frequentemente acomete mais os indivíduos imunocomprometidos e pacientes com outras desordens (diabetes não tratada, neoplasias, imunodeficiências). No mercado brasileiro, a NYS é encontrada na forma de suspens...

Histomorphometric evaluation of strontium-containing nanostructured hydroxyapatite as bone substitute in sheep

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The aim of this study is to evaluate the biocompatibility and osteoconductivity in surgical defects of sheep tibias filled with 1% strontium-containing nanostructured hydroxyapatite microspheres (SrHA), stoichiometric hydroxyapatite without strontium microspheres (HA), or blood clots. Santa Ines...

Amiodarone hydrochloride: enhancement of solubility and dissolution rate by solid dispersion technique

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 51 (4), 2015
abstract Amiodarone HCl is an antiarrhythmic agent, which has low aqueous solubility and presents absorption problems. This study aimed to develop inclusion complexes containing hydrophilic carriers PEG 1500, 4000 and 6000 by fusion and kneading methods in order to evaluate the increase in solubility and...

Identificación de dos formas polimórficas cristalinas de clopidogrel bisulfato en materia prima farmacéutica
Identification of two polymorphic forms of clopidogrel bisulphate crystal in pharmaceutical raw materials

Rev. cuba. farm; 48 (2), 2014
Introducción: el clopidogrel bisulfato existe en numerosas formas cristalinas, que varían en su estabilidad fisicoquímica, por lo que algunas de estas formas, patentadas o no, son útiles en la fabricación de medicamentos. Objetivo: identificar las formas cristalinas existentes en dos muestras de clo...
