Otimização de novos inibidores da di-idrofolato redutase de Mycobaterium tuberculosis (mtDHFR): Docking molecular, sí­ntese, avaliação da inibição enzimática e da atividade antimicobacte

A tuberculose (TB) é considerada uma das principais doenças infecciosas e apresenta fatores críticos como a relação com o HIV/AIDS, tratamento longo e a resistência a múltiplos fármacos. A enzima di-hidrofolato redutase das micobactérias (mtDHFR) é um alvo pouco explorado e apresenta grande pot...

Planejamento de fármacos anti-T. cruzi: Síntese de compostos nitrofurânicos, avaliação da atividade biológica in vitro e estudos de relações estrutura-atividade

A doença de Chagas afeta cerca de 6 a 7 millhões de pessoas no mundo, principalmente América Latina. A busca de alternativas terapêuticas para esta enfermidade tem grande relevância para a sociedade, já que as opções atuais são limitadas, sendo disponível apenas o benznidazol (BZD) e nifurtimox...

Stability indicating method development and validation for simultaneous estimation of atorvastatin calcium and celecoxib in bulk and niosomal formulation by RP-HPLC

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 51 (3), 2015
The present work describes development and validation of a specific, sensitive, precise and stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatographic method of analysis of atorvastatin calcium and celecoxib, both as a bulk drug and in niosomal formulation. The analysis has been performed by using Cosm...

Optimization of a spectrofluorimetric method based on a central composite design for the determination of potassium losartan in pharmaceutical products

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (3), 2014
Here, a spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of potassium losartan (PL) in pharmaceutical products is described. The effects of critical parameters, pH, acid molarity, and temperature, on the fluorescence intensity of PL were analyzed, and these parameters were optimized using a central compo...

Screening of mucoadhesive vaginal gel formulations

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (4), 2014
Rational design of vaginal drug delivery formulations requires special attention to vehicle properties that optimize vaginal coating and retention. The aim of the present work was to perform a screening of mucoadhesive vaginal gels formulated with carbomer or carrageenan in binary combination with a seco...

Development and stability assessment of liquid paediatric formulations containing sildenafil citrate

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 49 (2), 2013
The purpose of this study is to develop and improve oral liquids formulations of sildenafil citrate for paediatric use. Four different formulations were developed, which are as follows: two aqueous solutions of sildenafil citrate (2.5 mg/mL), with or without preservatives, and two other solutions of sild...

Poly-ε -caprolactone microspheres containing interferon alpha as alternative formulations for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 48 (1), 2012
Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) is one of the main drugs used in the treatment of hepatitis C. Use of IFN-alpha has some limitations that result in poor treatment efficacy and low patient compliance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) microspheres containing IFN-a...

Solubility enhancement, physicochemical characterization and formulation of fast-dissolving tablet of nifedipine-betacyclodextrin complexes

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 48 (1), 2012
The main objective of the study was to enhance the dissolution of nifedipine, a poorly water soluble drug by betacyclodextrin complexation and to study the effect of the preparation method on the in vitro dissolution profile. The stoichiometric ratio determined by phase solubility analysis for inclusion ...

Application of multivariate techniques in the evaluation of melt granulation products

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 47 (4), 2011
In this work, principal component analysis and cluster analysis were applied as helping tools to extract useful information in the development of formulations and manufacturing processes of melt granulates. Two melt granulation processes that differ in the shear stress applied to the solid bed during mel...
