USE POLYVINYLPYRROLIDONE IN TECHNOLOGY OF GYNAECOLOGICAL POWDERS CONTAINING LACTIC ACID COMPLEXED WITH CHITOSAN
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Gels obtained from powders containing lactic acid complexed with chitosan reveal a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1 and 8:1. Their pH ranged from 3.92 to 4.44 for 1:1 gels and from 2.36 to 2.84 for the 8:1 ratio. The addition of 5% polyvinylpyrrolidone K-90 increased the pH from 4.28 to 4.52 for 1:1 and from 2.58 to 3.30 for the 8:1 ratio. The addition of 5% polyvinylpyrrolidone K-90 increased the dynamic viscosity from 84 to 510 mPa.s for 1:1 gels and from 47 to 386 mPa.s for the 8:1 ratio. The gels obtained from powders possess the work of adhesion - the energy needed to separate the gel from the probe was 15.2 g/s for gels with 5% polyvinylpyrrolidone K-15, 52.76 g/s for gels with 5% polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30, and 56.6 g/s for gels containing 5% polyvinylpyrrolidone K-90. The results proved that it is possible to produce a preparation with optimal pharmaceutical and application properties.

THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF CHITOSAN ON BIOAVAILABILITY OF ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS
Chitosan as a dietary supplement has been used in the treatment of obesity due to its capability of binding bioactive compounds. A molecule of a cationic polymer, such as chitosan, may bind acid drugs. The aim of the stu...
MODIFICATION OF RELEASE RATE OF SALICYLIC ACID FROM CHITOSAN MEMBRANE
Due to continued interest in biodegradable polymers, chitosan is one of the most commonly used polymers in the field of control release of active substances. Currently as carriers of drugs, among tablets, or micro sphere...
INFLUENCE OF DIBUTYRYLCHITIN ON HISTAMINE RELEASE FROM MAST CELLS
DBC induces histamine release from mast cells and can modulate function of mast cells in vitro. Histamine excretion from mast cells activated with DBC is considerably lower than for model of anaphylactoid reaction. Modul...
Studies on the Dyeing of Chitin and Chitosan with pre-metallised Dyes at Neutral pH
Both 1:1 pre-metallised acid dyes and pre-coppered direct dyes, but not 1:2 pre-metallised acid dyes, have been shown to readily dye chitin and chitosan from neutral dyebaths. With the 1:1 pre-metallised acid dyes the ad...
