Release characteristics of diclofenac sodium from poly(vinyl alcohol)/sodium alginate and poly(vinyl alcohol)-grafted-poly(acrylamide)/sodium alginate blend beads.

TLDR
It was observed that, DS release from the beads decreased with increasing PVA/NaAlg (m/m) ratio, drug/polymer ratio (d/p) and extent of cross-linking, but release increased with increasing acrylamide content of the PVA-g-PAAm polymer.

Effect of cross-linked biodegradable polymers on sustained release of sodium diclofenac-loaded microspheres

TL;DR: In this article, an oral sustained release delivery system of sodium diclofenac(DS) based on SA as a hydrophilic carrier in combination with chitosan (CH) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SCMC) as drug release modifiers to overcome the drug-related adverse effects and to improve bioavailability.

Modified tamarind kernel polysaccharide: A novel matrix for control release of aspirin

TL;DR: The release characteristics from the matrices under study show non-Fickian diffusion mechanism, suggesting the controlled release of aspirin, and TKP-g-PAM based hydrogels show significant enhancement for control release.
Journal Article

Development of diclofenac sodium-loaded alginate-PVP K 30 microbeads using central composite design

TL;DR: Microbeads for oral controlled delivery of diclofenac sodium were successfully developed by ionotropic gelation to eliminate the need for multiple dosing and adverse effects.

The mathematics of diffusion

John Crank
TL;DR: Though it incorporates much new material, this new edition preserves the general character of the book in providing a collection of solutions of the equations of diffusion and describing how these solutions may be obtained.

A simple equation for description of solute release II. Fickian and anomalous release from swellable devices

TL;DR: In this paper, an exponential relation M t /M ∞ = kt n may be used to describe the Fickian and non-Fickian release behavior of release systems which are prepared by incorporation of a drug in a hydrophilic, initially glassy polymer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymeric Systems for Controlled Drug Release

TL;DR: Kevin Shakesheff investigates new methods of engineering polymer surfaces and the application of these engineered materials in drug delivery and tissue engineering.

Pentoxifylline. A review of its pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties, and its therapeutic efficacy.

TL;DR: Pentoxifylline offers a well-tolerated and effective alternative to the treatment options available for patients with peripheral vascular disease and in isolated studies proved to be superior to drugs such as co-dergocrine mesylate, adenosine and pyrithioxine.
