Abstract
Pharmaceutical preparations of ezetimibe and atorvastatin are generally used to regulate the lipid level in blood. It decreases the secondary events for patients with high cholesterol and clinical cardiovascular disease such as non-fatal or fatal heart attack. There is no any pharmacopoeia method available for the dissolution testing recommended by the FDA. Development of dissolution tests method is very critical parameter especially for the pharmaceutical preparations that contain Class II drugs (slightly soluble, good permeable). In the proposed method, the effects of pH and surfactant on the dissolution of poorly water soluble combined drug therapy with a different pKa values in an in vitro environment is investigated. The content of our study was designed to answer these open-ended questions. The optimized test conditions achieved under sink conditions with USP apparatus 2 at a paddle rotation speed of 75 rpm and 900 ml in 0.01 M Acetate buffer (pH= 6.8) containing 0.45% SDS as a dissolution medium. Quantification of dissolution samples were analyzed with a new fully validated RP-LC method with UV detection at 242 nm.

Advances of natural products, bio-actives and novel drug delivery system against emerging viral infections
Due to the increasing prevalence of viral infections and the ability of these human pathogens to develop resistance to current treatment strategies, there is a great need to find and develop new compounds to combat them. These molecules must have low toxicity, specific activity and high bioavailability. The most suitable ...read more
Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
