Preparation & Characterization of Bosentan Loaded Ethyl cellulose Nanoparticles by Solvent Evaporation Technique
Journal Title: Nanomedicine & Nanotechnology Open Access - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this study was to prepare Bosentan loaded nanoparticles by Solvent Evaporation (SE) technique. Bosentan belongs to a class of drugs known as endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs). It is a dual endothelin receptor antagonist important in the treatment of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). Ethyl cellulose (EC) was used as a polymer. Bosentan and ethyl cellulose were dissolved in Ethanol at various drug polymer ratios i.e. 1:1, 1:2, 1:3. Among the three formulations 1:3 formulation was considered as the best formulation with better drug content (97.43%) and entrapment efficiency (95.57%).

Relationships among Graphene, Zinc Oxide and Zinc Oxalate in Nanomedicine
The relationships among graphene (Gr), zinc oxide (ZnO), and zinc oxalate (ZnC2O4) are interpreted from the synthesis perspective. ZnC2O4 can be prepared using the dual-precursor sol-gel method, and can be regarded as th...
N-Methylacetamide for Cryopreservation - An Alternative to Dimethyl Sulfoxide Nanomed Nanotechnol
Cell death due to cryopreservation is caused by insufficient protection from freezing-induced damage and cytotoxicity of the cryopreservation agent, acting both before freezing and after thawing. Compared to dimethyl sul...
