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.

γ-Rays and ion beam irradiation effects on the optical and structural properties of poly (vinyl alcohol)-ethylene glycol composite

TL;DR: In this article, the optical and structural properties of the irradiated PVA-EG composites have been investigated using UV-Vis, FTIR and XRD analytical techniques, showing that the optical band gap energy changes with the type of irradiation and exposure time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flurbiprofen-loaded interpenetrating polymer network beads based on alginate, polyvinyl alcohol and methylcellulose: design, characterization and in-vitro evaluation.

TL;DR: It was observed that the release of FBP from beads was influenced by variables such as NaAlg amount in polymer matrix, crosslinking time and FBP/polymer ratio, and release mechanism ofFBP from IPN beads followed non-Fickian transport.

Preparation of ferric ion crosslinked acrylamide grafted poly (vinyl alcohol)/sodium alginate microspheres and application in controlled release of anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil.

TL;DR: Ionically crosslinked microspheres of acrylamide (AAm) grafted poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/sodium alginate (NaAlg) were prepared by crosslinking with FeCl3 and 5-fluorouracil, which is an anticancer drug and was successfully encapsulated into the micro Spheres.

Novel interpenetrating polymer network mucoadhesive microspheres of gum ghatti and poly(vinyl alcohol) for the delivery of ranitidine hcl

TL;DR: In this article, a novel interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) of gum ghatti (Gg) and poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) was prepared and crosslinked with glutaraldehyde (GA) to form mucoadhesive microspheres by emulsion cross-linking method to deliver model anti-ulcer drug, ranitidine HCl.

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.

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.
