Journal ArticleDOI
Development and in vitro evaluation of a liposomal vaginal delivery system for acyclovir
TL;DR: In vitro release studies of liposomes incorporated in the hydrogel proved their applicability as a novel vaginal delivery system with localized and sustained release of encapsulated acyclovir.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and bioadhesive properties of chitosan-ethylcellulose microspheres for nasal delivery
Anita Martinac,Jelena Filipović-Grčić,Dario Voinovich,Beatrice Perissutti,Erica Franceschinis +4 more
TL;DR: Tensile studies showed that both, EC/CM ratio and the type of spray-dried system influenced the bioadhesive properties of the micro spheres in a way that the microspheres with higher chitosan content were more bioad adhesive and microsphere prepared from suspensions were moreBioadhesive than those prepared from emulsions, regardless of the same polymeric composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-emulsifying pellets prepared by wet granulation in high-shear mixer: influence of formulation variables and preliminary study on the in vitro absorption.
Erica Franceschinis,Dario Voinovich,Mario Grassi,Beatrice Perissutti,Jelena Filipović-Grčić,Anita Martinac,Francesco Meriani-Merlo +6 more
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that pellets composed of oil to surfactant ratio of 1:4 (w/w) presented improvement in performance in permeation experiments, and resulted in different formulations with improved drug solubility and permeability characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spray-dried chitosan/ethylcellulose microspheres for nasal drug delivery: swelling study and evaluation of in vitro drug release properties.
TL;DR: It was shown that particle size, swelling ability and loratadine release from spray-dried microspheres were significantly affected by the polymeric composition and feed concentration in Spray-drying process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spray-dried carbamazepine-loaded chitosan and HPMC microspheres: preparation and characterisation
Jelena Filipović-Grčić,Beatrice Perissutti,Mariarosa Moneghini,Dario Voinovich,Anita Martinac,Ivan Jalšenjak +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicated that the entrapment efficiency (EE), as well as carbamazepine release profile, depended on polymeric composition and drug– polymer ratios of the microspheres prepared, and the bestEntrapment efficiencies were obtained when chitosan of low‐molecular‐weight (CL) or HPMC were used for the microencapsulation.
