High impact information on Technology, Pharmaceutical

• SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology and Institute for Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmacy, Ruprecht-Karls-University of Heidelberg, Germany. METHODS: We evaluated the effects of an IOL-bound sustained drug delivery system (SDDS) consisting of the carrier substance poly-DL-lactid and the drug daunorubicin or indomethacin [1].
• Combining mucoadhesive characteristics of a biodegradable polymer such as chitosan with the potential to enhance drug release by increasing the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs has great potential for pharmaceutical technology and drug delivery design [2].
• We present a brief introduction to the pharmaceutical technology of pure submicron drug particles in relationship to other dosage forms, and study examples are presented to underscore the potential benefits of this approach in parenteral delivery [3].
• The level of infection in treated mice was significantly lower than in control mice and, surprisingly, the most efficacious treatment was beta-cyclodextrin, an excipient used in pharmaceutical technology [4].
• For long-lasting plasma levels of cicaprost a chemically determined retardation might require a more sophisticated pro-drug concept or alternatively pharmaceutical technology is required [5].

Associations of Technology, Pharmaceutical with chemical compounds

• One of the most important reasons for the survival of the notion of a pharmaceutical technology of authenticity was the role of the barbiturates sodium amytal and sodium pentothal in psychiatric research and treatment during the 1930s through the 1950s [6].
