Journal ArticleDOI
Co-administration of a water-soluble polymer increases the usefulness of cyclodextrins in solid oral dosage forms.
Jouko Savolainen,Kristiina Järvinen,Hannu Taipale,Pekka Jarho,Thorsteinn Loftsson,Tomi Järvinen +5 more
TL;DR: The pharmaceutical usefulness of cyclodextrins in oral administration may be substantially improved by co-administration of a water-soluble polymer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Method for evaluating drug release from liposomes in sink conditions
TL;DR: A new in vitro technique is proposed for the evaluation of drug release from liposomes using a hydrophilic β -cyclodextrin derivative in the dissolution medium to maintain sink conditions and is capable of distinguishing different true release rates of drugs from colloidal carriers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and in Vitro Evaluation of Novel Morpholinyl- and Methylpiperazinylacyloxyalkyl Prodrugs of 2-(6-Methoxy-2-naphthyl)propionic Acid (Naproxen) for Topical Drug Delivery
Jarkko Rautio,Tapio Nevalainen,Hannu Taipale,Jouko Vepsäläinen,Jukka Gynther,Krista Laine,Tomi Järvinen +6 more
TL;DR: The present study indicates using a methylpiperazinyl group yields prodrugs that are partially un-ionized under neutral and slightly acidic conditions, and thus, a desirable combination is achieved in terms of aqueous solubility and lipophilicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Piperazinylalkyl prodrugs of naproxen improve in vitro skin permeation
Jarkko Rautio,Tapio Nevalainen,Hannu Taipale,Jouko Vepsäläinen,Jukka Gynther,Krista Laine,Tomi Järvinen +6 more
TL;DR: Piperazinyl esters improved skin permeation of Naproxen and are promising prodrugs of naproxen for topical drug delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bisphosphonate prodrugs: synthesis and in vitro evaluation of alkyl and acyloxymethyl esters of etidronic acid as bioreversible prodrugs of etidronate.
TL;DR: The synthesis and preliminary evaluation of novel alkyl and acyloxymethyl esters of etidronic acid as etidronate prodrugs is reported and the corresponding tri-substituted pivaloyloxym methyl ester, having adequate water-solubility and lipophilicity, is probably the most potential prodrug candidate reported to enhance the oral bioavailability of etdronate.
