Polymorphic Behavior of Two Organic Zwitterions: Two Rare Cases of No Observable Conversion between Polymorphs

TL;DR: In this article, the solid-state behavior of two organic zwitterions, (Z)-3-carboxy-2-(4-cyanopyridin-1-ium-1yl)-acrylate (1), has been extensively investigated.

A New Approach for Enhancing the Dissolution Rate of Phenacetin

TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach for enhancing the intrinsic dissolution rate of phenacetin is ascribed, which is based on the concept of the recrystallization of phencetin from different surfactants concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of selected water soluble carbohydrates on the dissolution profile of prednisolone

TL;DR: In this paper, the utilization of three water soluble carbohydrates as carrier to improve the dissolution rate of prednisolone was studied and their dissolution profile was compared with the dissolution profile of the pure drug.
Journal ArticleDOI

Studies of the mechanism of crystal growth of hexamethylmelamine II. Rates of growth of the crystal faces

TL;DR: In this article, the growth rate of a single crystal of HMM was studied in solution of methanol and cyclohexane and the relationship between the crystal size (length and breadth) and time ( t ) was best described using √ t as the independent variable and fitting the dependence by second or third degree polynomial equations.

Mechanism of sustained‐action medication. Theoretical analysis of rate of release of solid drugs dispersed in solid matrices

TL;DR: The analyses suggest that for the latter system the time required to release 50% of the drug would normally be expected to be approximately 10 per cent of that required to dissolve the last trace of the solid drug phase in the center of the pellet.

The united states pharmacopeia.

Robert A. Hatcher
- 04 Jan 1908 - 
TL;DR: The Pharmacopeia was called into being by physicians in 1820, and in 1850 pharmacists were admitted to the convention; since then physicians have gradually relinquished control to pharmacists, and to-day the authors are confronted with an anomalous condition.
