Int J Pharm. 2008 Jul 26; Authors: Li X, Nie SF, Kong J, Li N, Ju CY, Pan WS The objective of this study was to develop an ocular drug delivery system based on nanostructured lipid carrier and investigate its in vitro and in vivo characteristics. Ibuprofen was chosen as the model drug. Four different formulations of Ibuprofen nanostructured lipid carriers were prepared by melted-ultrasonic methods; Gelucire 44/14 was screened as one of the solid lipid matrix materials due to the good particle size dispersion and excellent contribution to the corneal permeability of the model drug. The modified Franz-type diffusion cells and isolated corneas were used in the test of drug corneal permeability and the in vivo releasing tests were carried out using microdialysis method. Gelucire 44/14 and Transcutol P could enhance the corneal permeability by different mechanisms. The corresponding apparent permeability coefficients (P(app)) were 1.28 and 1.36 times more than that of the control preparation. Stearylamine could prolong the pre-cornea retention time of the model drug to some extent. Ibuprofen nanostructured lipid carriers displayed controlled-release property. The AUC of the optimized formulation of Ibuprofen nanostuctured lipid carriers was 3.99 times more than that of Ibuprofen eye drops). PMID: 18706987 [PubMed - as supplied ...

Eur J Drug Metab Pharmacokinet. 2008 Jan-Mar;33(1):45-51 Authors: Zheng C, Hao H, Wang G, Sang G, Sun J, Li P, Li J A rapid, sensitive and stereoselective HPLC method based on chiral column analysis was developed and fully validated for the simultaneous determination of the two enantiomers of Ibuprofen in human plasma. Using this method, a chiral pharmacokinetic study of two different Ibuprofen tablets, i.e. dexibuprofen tablets and racemic Ibuprofen tablets, was carried out on 20 healthy Chinese male volunteers according to a single-dose (400 mg), two-way, cross-over randomized design. When a 'non-chiral calculation method' was used, the statistical analysis showed no significant difference for the pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC0-infinity, AUC0-t, Cmax and tmax) between the two oral formulations, suggesting that they were pharmaceutically bioequivalent. Considering that the pharmacological activity of Ibuprofen resides exclusively in the S(+)-enantiomer, and that the unidirectional inversion of the R(-) to the S(+)-enantiomer is incomplete and might be race-dependent, the pharmacokinetic parameters for only the S(+)-enantiomer were further compared and the inversion ratio calculated. It was found that only 25% of R(-)-Ibuprofen in the racemic Ibuprofen tablets was inverted into S(+)-Ibuprofen in the Chinese population, which sug ...

Related Articles Effect of particle properties on the flowability of Ibuprofen powders. Int J Pharm. 2008 Jul 4; Authors: Liu LX, Marziano I, Bentham AC, Litster JD, E T White , Howes T Powder flowability is one of the key parameters in the pharmaceutical tabletting process. The flowability is affected by both the particles' properties and the tabletting equipment characteristics. Although it is generally accepted that powder flowability increases with an increase in particle size, quantitative studies and comprehensive theoretical insights into the particle property effects are still lacking. In this paper, Ibuprofen, a non-steroidal drug widely used as an anti-inflammatory analgesic was chosen as a model material to assess the effect of particle properties on its flowability. Ibuprofen typically has a needle shaped morphology. The flowability of Ibuprofen size fractions was studied in detail using two flow measurement methods. The separated fractions were also compared to magnesium stearate lubricated Ibuprofen and its size fractions. The experimental results showed that powder flowability is significantly affected by both the particle size and size distribution. The finest size fraction that is separated from the bulk Ibuprofen powder flows better than the bulk powder. For powders with narrow size distributions, the flowability increases significantly with the increase in particle size. In addition, admixing magnesium stearate to ib ...

If you have a problem with school officials strip searching 13-year-olds for Advil – or if you care about the government’s standards for informant use and invasive searches – you can take relief in yesterday’s ruling by a full panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, which ruled 6-5 that students cannot be strip-searched based on the uncorroborated word of another student who is facing disciplinary punishment. “A reasonable school official, seeking to protect the students in his charge, does not subject a thirteen-year-old girl to a traumatic search to ‘protect’ her from the danger of Advil,” the federal appellate court wrote in today’s opinion. “We reject Safford’s effort to lump together these run-of-the-mill anti-inflammatory pills with [...] ...

PSST! Want to knwo how to fropt teeangers and get away with it? What do you suppose will happen to you if you’re an adult who tells a thirteen-year-old girl to strip off her clothes? If found out, you’re looking at some serious jailtime, right? Sure. Except if you’re a school official, and you think that the girl might be hiding drugs. Then you can violate her all you want. The report : A divided US appeals court has ruled an Arizona school violated the constitutional rights of a 13-year-old student by conducting a strip search for Ibuprofen. Suspecting that a student had violated a policy against prescription or over-the-counter drugs without permission, public school officials in Safford, Arizona, ordered a search of Savana Redding. A school nurse had her remove her clothes, including her bra, and shake her underwear to see if Ms Redding was hiding anything. Jeeze : This being the Ninth Circuit, and this being America, it would not surprise me at all if the Supreme Court were to grant certiorari and reverse this holding. While the Circuits might divide on a case as r evoltingly silly as this one, if there is a general rule in American jurisprudence on the rights of children suspected of drug possession in school, it is that they have none. After all, as the dissent points out: Seemingly innocuous items can, in the hands of creative adolescents, present serious threats. Admittedly, Ibuprofen is one of the mildest drugs children c ...
