Formulation and Evaluation of Guggul Lipid Nanovesicles for Transdermal Delivery of Aceclofenac
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Context. Most new drugs have low water solubility and liposome is an important formulation to administer such drugs; however, it is quite unstable and has negligible systemic absorption. Objective. Aceclofenac nanovesicles were made using guggul lipid for formulating stable transdermal formulation. Materials and Methods.

Solid Lipid Nanoparticles of Guggul Lipid as Drug Carrier for Transdermal Drug Delivery
BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 Diclofenac sodium loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) were formulated using guggul lipid as major lipid component and analyzed for physical parameters, permeation profile, and anti‐inflammatory activity. The SLNs were prepared using melt‐emulsion sonication/low temperature‐solidification method and characterized for physical parameters, in vitro ...

Nuclear Receptors in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Journal of Lipids, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Nuclear receptors comprise a superfamily of ligand‐activated transcription factors that are involved in important aspects of hepatic physiology and pathophysiology. There are about 48 nuclear receptors in the human. These nuclear receptors are regulators of many hepatic processes including hepatic lipid and glucose metabolism, bile acid homeostasis ...

BioMed Research International, Volume 2004, Issue 4, Page 219-226, 2004., 2004 In order to rise the yield of prednisolone from hydrocortisone, the Pseudomonas oleovorans cells were entrapped into radiation crosslinked poly (vinyl pyrrolidone)/poly(ethylene oxide) (PVP/PEO) hydrogel of different gel contents. The factors affecting the gel content and swelling behavior of the polymeric gel, such as polymer composition, polymer ...
