  • The in vivo behaviour of phenylephrine hydrochloride in different vehicles like gels of Carbopol $907^circledR$, Carbopol $934P^circledR$ and latex system of cellulose acetate hydrogen phthalate(CAHP) was evaluated by measuring the reduction in intraocular pressure and the mydriatic activity. The parameters that haave been utilised to assess the performance of the formulations were the area under the curve (AUC), the maximum mydriasis $(I_{max})$, ethe time of maximum response $(T_{max})$ and the duration of activity (D). The influence of viscosity and mucoadhesion on the bioavailability parameters has also been investigated. Carbopol 934P and CAHP formulations showed prolonged duration of action and greater AUC compared to Carbopol 907 aqueous solution(P<0.05).

  • This paper examined the bleaching effect of the two types of gel made with neutralizing agent such as sodium meta silicate gel & triethylamine gel mixed with carbopol resin 940 & 934 which has thickness effect in broad pH region and mixed with 10% hydrogen peroxide. Sodium meta silicate gel(1.6g included) provided pH 10, the most suitable environment for bleaching. The result of comparison of the baseline colour changes(${\Delta}E*ab$) and colour changes according to time(${\Delta}E*ab$) is as following. Group1(carbopol 940, sodium meta silicate, Urea Hydrogen Peroxide) showed 112% efficiency at CS-2; 63.3% at CS-4; 87.4% at CS-6. Group2(carbopol 934, sodium meta silicate, Urea Hydrogen Peroxide) showed 77.3%, 67.3%, 109.6% at CS-8, CS-10, CS-12 respectively; CT-1, CT-3, CT-5 of Group3(carbopol 940, triethylamine, Urea Hydrogen Peroxide) showed 36.8%, 73.2%, 74%; In Group4(carbopol 934, triethylamine, Urea Hydrogen Peroxide), efficiency of CT-6, CT-8, and CT-10 was 81.7%, 95.4%, and 95.7%. The paper showed that various concentration of neutralizing agent such as sodium meta silicate and triethylamine have bleaching effect. Viscosity of the gel including sodium meta silicate was higher than the gel including triethylamine. High viscosity helps the bleaching gel sit on the smooth slope of the ceramics. As a result, sodium meta silicate is considered to provide thickening and bleaching effect required in producing 10% hydrogen peroxide gel.

  • Dissolution of mucosal adhesive tablets prepared with two polymers using hydroxypropylcellulose-H (HPC) and carbopol 934 (CP) was tested. Adhesive tablets containing HPC/CP and brilliant blue FCF (BB) were prepared from direct compression. Three factors of polymer ratio (HPC:CP), BB content and compression force were chosen as important factors of preparation and factorial analysis for these factors was carried out. Eight kinds of formulations from different combinations of three factors were prepared and dissolution test in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer solution was performed. Dissolution rate was significantly affected by HPC:CP ratio and BB content, but was not affected by compression force.

  • Some mucoadhesive polymers such as hydroxypropylcelluose (HPC) and carbopol-934 (CP) have been employed for the preparation of mucoadhesive polymeric systems, and their physical properties including mucoadhesion, swelling, and drug release were evaluated. A new simple experimental technique that can quantitatively measure the bioadhesive properties of various polymeric systems has been developed by the methods of detachment force test. As the polymeric systems, the discs of freeze-dried HPC/CP solid dispersions were prepared. The mucosa used in these tests were upper, middle, and lower parts of small intestine of male rats weighing $300{\sim}350\;g$. Detachment forces were increased as the mole fraction of CP increased in discs of HPC/CP solid dispersions. In the points of intestinal site dependence of mucoadhesion, the solid dispersions revealed non-specific mucoadhesion to the intestine. Swelling and drug release characteristics of mucoadhesive polymeric systems were studied extensively to find out the feasibility for the oral controlled delivery systems. Swelling ratio, expressed as the final height/initial height, has been determined in various pH buffer solutions. Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) was employed as a model drug for release study. Apparent swelling and drug release rate constants, $K_s$ and $K_r$ respectively, were obtained from the square-root time plot of either swelling ratio or released amount of drug, particularly for the time periods before reaching the equilibrium. As a result, the swelling ratio of HPC/CP solid dispersions was increased as the weight percentage of CP increased. Similarly, the release of HCT from the solid dispersions was dependent on pH changes and CP contents, resulted in the slower release of HCT with the increases of pH and CP contents.

  • Epidermal growth factor(EGF), a potential healing agent for wounds and burns, has been formulated to topical gels with the hydrophilic polymers, Carbopol 934P. Physicochemical c haracteristics of the aqueous gels were evaluated by rheological properties and pH changes on storage. The gels were relatively stable at $4^{\circ}C$ and room temperature showing no changes in pH for two weeks, and revealed the rheogram of shear thinning plastic flow with the yield values in the range of 40 to 70dyne/$cm^2$. In vivo healing effects of different gel formulations have been compared with water-soluble and oleaginous ointments in full-thickness wound mouse model. The gel systems resulted in better wound healing effects than the other ointments. Furthermore, liposomal Carbopol gel has been developed by the addition of EGF-containing liposomal suspension into the Carbopol gel. The enhanced wound healing effects have been observed in the liposomal gel system, compared to the other gels and conventional ointments.

  • Mucoadhesive tablets containing hydroxypropylcellulose-H (HPC) and carbopol 934 (CP) were prepared from direct compression. Their adhesive forces and water absorptions were investigated by using mouse peritoneal membrane and 1.5% agar plate, respectively. Adhesive force was significantly improved with increasing CP concentration, but was not affected by compression force and addition of disintegrants. And adhesive force to mouse peritioneal membrane was increased as fixing time increased. In conclusion, adequate adhesive force can be obtained by control of CP/HPC ratio and fixing time.

  • The pressure loss coefficient of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids such as water, aqueous solutions of Carbopol-934 and Separan AP-273 and blood in the stenotic tubes are determined experimentally and numerically. The numerical analyses for flows of non-Newtonian fluids in the stenotic tubes are conducted by the finite element method. The effect of the contraction ratio and the ratio of length to diameter on the pressure drop are investigated by the experiments and numerical analysis. The pressure loss coefficients are significantly dependent upon the Reynolds number in the laminar flow regime. As Reynolds number increases, the pressure loss coefficients of both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids decrease in the laminar flow regime. As the ratio of length to diameter increases the maximum pressure loss coefficient increases in the laminar flow regime for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Newtonian fuid shows the highest values of pressure loss coefficient and blood the next, followed by Carbopol solution and Separan solution in order. Experimental results are used to verify the numerical analyses for flows of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Numerical results for the maximum pressure loss coefficient in the stenotic tubes are in fairly good agreement with the experimental results. The relative differences between the numerical and experimental results of the pressure loss coefficients in the laminar flow regime range from 0.5% to 14.8%.

  • The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of trasdermal delivery of the curcumin gel on healing of the rats' dorsum wounds. Carbopol 934 and propylene glycol were used to prepare gels containing 1% curcumin. Curcumin gel was evaluated for various properties such as antioxidant, cell viability, anti-inflammatory, in vivo wound healing. The free radical scavenging activity using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) was 50% at 12.5 ppm concentration. Inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells by curcumin gel. In the curcumin gel-treated group, the re-epithelialization in wounds was significantly increased compared to the control group throughout the experimental period. These results suggested that curcumin may be helpful for the promotion of wound healing.

  • The three dimensional, steady flows of blood and blood analogue fluids in the abdominal aortic bifurcation are simulated using the finite volume method. The objective of this investigation is to understand the generation and progression of site-specific atherosclerosis from a hydrodynamic point of view. Due to complexity of blood in conducting experimental study, aqueous polymer solutions are used as the substitutional fluids. For comparison purpose of the flow characteristics of blood and substitutional fluids, rheologically different fluids such as water soluble polymers of Carbopol-934 and Separan AP-273 are employed for the numerical simulation. In order to understand the role of hydrodynamics in the formation and development of atherosclerosis lesions flow velocities, pressures and shear stresses along the vessel are calculated for steady flows.
