Fig. 12 Scanning electron micrograph of D.L-PLA nanoparticles loaded with CGP 57813. (Ref. 51.) scanning force microscopy (also called atomic force microscopy), enable the visualiza-tion of nanoparticles at atmospheric pressure without gold coating [12,64]. Neverthe-less, the resolution obtained with these new tools is still lower than that with SEM. For size determination, transmission electron microscopy is not as widely used as PCS and SEM, but it is still a powerful method for determining the morphology of particles. With this technique, Fessi et al. [42] estimated the wall thickness of PLA nanocapsules. Krause et al. [18] described the highly porous structure of PLA nano-spheres prepared by the emulsion-evaporation procedure. VIII. IN VITRO RELEASE STUDIES In vitro release studies should in principle be useful for quality control as well as for the prediction of in vivo kinetics. Unfortunately, due to the very small size of the par-ticles, the release rate observed in vivo can differ greatly from the release obtained in a buffer solution. However, in vitro release studies remain very useful for quality control as well as for evaluation of the influence of process parameters on the release rate of active compounds. In vitro drug release from microdispersed systems has been exten-sively reviewed by Washington [65]. Depending on the type of polyester, drug release from nanoparticles can take place through several processes, of which the following appear to be the most important: (1) The drug may diffuse out of the carrier through the solid matrix; to allow complete release from the carriers, (the concentration of drug in the release medium should re-main infinitely low, which condition is known as sink condition); (2) The solvent may penetrate the nanoparticles and dissolve the drug, which then diffuses out into the re-lease medium. Depending on the physico-chemical characteristics of the particles, wa-ter can enter the particles through narrow pores or by hydration. Once the drug is dis-solved, the drug diffuses out of the particles. Here again, since diffusion is driving the

Preparation of surface modified Embelin loaded nanoparticles (GA-PEG-PLGA) for the management of hepatotoxicity. Surface modified Embelin loaded GA-PEG-PLGA NPs were evaluated by NMR, FTIR, TEM techniques and in vitro release studies. The biodistribution of the nanoparticles was assessed by High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the cellular uptake study was evaluated using Hep G2 cells (liver cells lines). The hepatoprotecttive effect of the surface modified Embelin loaded GA-PEG-PLGA NPs was investigated in-vitro and in-vivo. The surface modified Embelin loaded GA-PEG-PLGA nanoparticles significantly increases the uptake of drug in liver by 2.5 folds more than plain drug. Keywords: Glycyrrhetinic acid, Receptor mediated, Surface functionalization, Embelin, PLGA nanoparticle.

Within the oral mucosal cavity, the buccal region offers an attractive route of administration for systemic drug delivery. Pimozide patches were prepared using HPMC (15 & 47 cPs), carbopol 934, poly vinyl alcohol, and poly vinyl pyrolidone. FTIR and UV spectroscopic methods revealed that there is no interaction between pimozide and polymers. The patches were evaluated for their thickness uniformity, folding endurance, weight uniformity, content uniformity, swelling behaviour, tensile strength, and surface pH. In vitro release studies of pimozide-loaded patches in phosphate buffer (pH, 6.6) exhibited drug release in the range of 55.32 % to 97.49 % in 60 min. Data of in vitro release from patches were fit in to different equations and kinetic models to explain release kinetics. The models used were zero and first-order equations, Hixon-Crowell, Higuchi and Korsmeyer-Peppas models. In vivo absorption of pimozide from all the patches ranged from 47.96 % to 83.42 % in 60 min in human volunteers. In vivo studies in rabbits showed 85.97% of drug absorption from HPMC-15 cPs patch in 60 min. Good correlation among in vitro release and in vivo absorption of pimozide was observed
