In this study, the rapid expansion of the supercritical solutions (RESS) process was used to produce microparticles of a commonly used anti-inflammatory drug, ethenzamide. The effects of process parameters in RESS including the extraction temperature, pre-expansion temperature, and post-expansion temperature

We studied the use of a 4-fluid nozzle spray drier as a new one-step method for preparing drug-containing microparticles to enhance the dissolution and absorption of poorly water-soluble drugs. We employed ethenzamide (EZ) and flurbiprofen (FP) as poorly water-soluble drugs

In this paper, dissolution characteristics of primary-particles and compressed tablets were investigated by experiments using a mathematical model. For the primary-particle, it was found that the dissolution rate increased with a decrease in the particle size. Assuming that primary-particles of

We prepared and characterized a grinding-induced equimolar complex of thiourea with ethenzamide. When thiourea and ethenzamide were co-ground at a molar ratio of 3 : 1, new powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) peaks were observed in addition to PXRD peaks of
Six-week-old male F344 rats were given a mixture of 0.01% diethylnitrosamine, 0.05% N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine and 0.02% N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine in their drinking water for 1 week. When 0.8%, 0.4%, or 0% of a mixture of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (acetaminophen, aspirin, dipyrone plus
