Microchannels based microfluidic systems are able to obtain monodispersed microparticles but are limited by cost, time and channel clogging. We succeeded in on the fly encapsulation of high ketoprofen contents in acrylate-based copolymer microbeads by environment friendly UV induced free
The mechanism of immunosuppression induced by severe sepsis is not fully understood. The production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) during sepsis is well known, but its role in long-term consequences of sepsis has not been explored. The current study evaluates the

Chitosan (CS) grafted with β-cyclodextrin (CD-g-CS) nanoparticles as a new carrier for poorly water-soluble drugs has been developed. The CD-g-CS polymer is readily synthesized from chitosan and mono-6-deoxy-6-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-β-cyclodextrin. Three different degrees of substitution (DS) of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) on CD-g-CS (9.6

The occurrence and multi-phase distribution of five pharmaceutical compounds were investigated in an urban wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) receiving river by analysis of pharmaceuticals in sediment, particulate matter, conventional dissolved phase (>0.7 μm), colloidal phase (5 kDa to 0.7 μm)
Ketoprofen, a potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the 2-arylpropionic acid class, has been used clinically for over 15 years in Europe, and has recently been introduced in the United States. Although it possesses a chiral centre, with only the
