Journal ArticleDOI

The role of percutaneous penetration enhancers

TL;DR: It is clear that scientists are now only beginning to comprehend the complexity of transdermal drug delivery, and the role of penetration enhancer inclusion in topical formulations will undoubtedly, in the future, permit the delivery of broader classes of drugs through the stratum corneum.
Journal ArticleDOI

A stability-indicating high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay for the simultaneous determination of atorvastatin and amlodipine in commercial tablets.

TL;DR: A simple, rapid, precise and accurate isocratic reversed-phase stability-indicating HPLC method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of atorvastatin (AT) and amlodipine (AM) in commercial tablets and has shown adequate separation for AM, AT from their associated main impurities and their degradation products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of macrolide antibiotics

TL;DR: Data relating to the chromatographic behaviour of some macrolide antibiotics as well as the various detection methods used, such as bioautography, UV spectrophotometry, fluorometry, electrochemical detection, chemiluminescence and mass spectrometry techniques are also included.
Journal ArticleDOI

Should active recruitment of health workers from sub-Saharan Africa be viewed as a crime?

TL;DR: The insufficiency of health staff to provide even basic services is one of the most pressing impediments to health-care delivery in resource-poor settings, and the consequences are clearly shown by the inverse relation that exists betweenhealth-care worker density and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selection and Characterization of Suitable Lipid Excipients for use in the Manufacture of Didanosine-Loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles and Nanostructured Lipid Carriers

TL;DR: The crystalline state and polymorphism of lipids with the best-solubulizing potential for DDI was investigated and a mixture of Precirol® ATO 5 and Transcutol® HP may be used to manufacture DDI-loaded SLN and NLC, respectively.
