The primary mechanism of antihistamine action in the treatment of allergic diseases is believed to be competitive antagonism of histamine binding to cellular receptors (specifically, the H1-receptors), which are present on nerve endings, smooth muscles, and glandular cells. This notion
In this work a molecularly imprinted polymer was developed as a selective sorbent for extraction of loratadine (as a model) in complex matrices followed by miniaturized homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction (MHLLE) for the first time. The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) which

The present study investigates the possibility of using poloxamers as solubility and dissolution rate enhancing agents of the poorly water soluble drug substance desloratadine that can be used for the preparation of immediate release tablet formulation. Two commercially available poloxamer
Amantadine (1-amino-adamantane) is clinically used for the management of Parkinson's disease and drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms. It has previously been shown that amantadine is a low-affinity uncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist with rapid blocking and unblocking channel kinetics (Ki-value at the
