Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the preparation conditions on poly(ethylcyanoacrylate) nanocapsule formation
TL;DR: In this paper, different preparation conditions have been able to influence the final PECA nanocapsule colloidal suspension, such as interfacial precipitation of a pre-formed polymer and the interfacial polymerization, and other variables such as the kind of the nonionic surfactant and the monomer concentration, affected in different ways the nanocapule formation process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of Natural and Modified β-Cyclodextrins with a Biological Membrane Model of Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a biological membrane model to investigate the interaction between natural and modified β-cyclodextrins and these membrane bilayers to study the thermotropic behavior of the DPPC vesicles and any change caused by the presence of cyclodextrin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement of water solubility and dissolution rate of ursodeoxycholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid by complexation with natural and modified β-cyclodextrins
TL;DR: In this article, the inclusion complexes of ursodeoxycholic and chenodeoxy cholic acid with β-cyclodextrin, heptakis-(2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-cyclodesxtrin and soluble polymerized β-cyclextrin were investigated in solution (1H-NMR spectrometry) and solid state (FT-IR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry).
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of the complexation of some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with β-cyclodextrin on the interaction with phosphatidylcholine liposomes
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes with different anti-inflammatory agents on the main phase transition of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles was studied by differential scanning calorimetry.

TL;DR: In this article, a calorimetric technique has been used to study complex formation between α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrins (αCD, βCD, and βCD) and some surfactants (sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS), hexadecyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and p-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl) phenoxypoly(oxyethyleneglycol) (Triton X-100)).
