The objective of the present work was to develop a bioactive transdermal patch functionalized with Annona leaf extracts (ALE) by means of supercritical impregnation technique. The potential of six different Annona leaf extracts (ALE) obtained with the enhanced solvent system formed by carbon dioxide + ethanol/acetone was evaluated taking into account the antioxidant activity, total phenol composition and global extraction yields. For the impregnation of ALE, two drug supporting systems were tested: hydrocolloid sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) and polyester dressings (PD). The effect of the impregnation conditions, including pressure (P), temperature (T), percent of co-solvent (ethanol) and ALE/polymer mass ratio, was determined with regard to the loading and the functional activity of the impregnated samples. The optimal impregnation conditions of ALE were established at 55 °C and 300 bar which led to obtained transdermal patches with antioxidant and antimicrobial capacity. In order to understand the behavior of the process, the homogeneity of the samples in the vessels was also evaluated. The best results were obtained at higher proportions of co-solvent in the system.

Several studies have demonstrated the biological efficacy of leaf, stem and root powders or extracts of Chromolaena odorata (L.) King and Robinson against insect pests but those that are focused on the biological efficacy of aqueous leaf extracts against Macrotermes species are scanty. Current management of termites with synthetic insecticides is being discouraged due to human and environmental hazards. Therefore, the insecticidal effectiveness of aqueous leaf extract C. odorata against Macrotermes species was investigated. Five concentrations (0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0% (w/v)) of the aqueous extract of C. odorata plant were evaluated for repellency and toxicity on the worker caste of Macrotermes species following standard procedures. The filter paper impregnation technique was used for the bioassay. Percentage repellency was monitored for 30 minutes and mortality recorded at 12, 24 and 36 hours post exposure. The leaf extract of C. odorata significantly repelled 95% of Macrotermes species at the highest concentration of 10% (w/v) after 30 minutes post treatment exposure. Mortality of Macrotermes species was independent of treatment concentration, but dependent on duration of exposure. All treatment concentrations of aqueous leaf extract of C. odorata caused significant mortality against Macrotermes species ranging between 94% and 98% compared to the control; indicating very great potential for adoption and use in the management of Macrotermes species.

The use of traditional medicines holds a great promise as an easily available source as effective medicinal agents to cure a wide range of ailments among the people particularly in tropical developing countries like India. The present study investigates the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the major bioactive constituents of N. crenulata leaf extracts. The extractive values of aqueous, acetone and chloroform extracts were found to be 11.34, 4.24 and 6.06 respectively. Qualitative phytochemical analysis of these three solvent extracts confirm the presence of Alkaloids, Saponins, Flavonoids and Phenolic compounds in all the three extracts; however, these phytochemicals were more significant in aqueous extract. Quantitative analysis was carried out using TLC method by different solvent system. Amongst various solvent systems, Butanol: acetic acid: water (9: 0.9: 0.1 v/v/v) shows maximum resolution and number of spots produced at long UV (365 nm) and under iodine vapours. The TLC chromatograms constituted different coloured phytochemical compounds with different Rf values. It can be conveniently used to evaluate the quality of different area samples. This indicates that the leaves can be useful for treating different diseases because the therapeutic activity of a plant is due to the presence of particular class of compounds and thus can serve as potential sources of useful drugs in future.

This is an update to the 2010 article published in Hospital Pharmacy on safety concerns involving transdermal patches and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Since publication of the original article, new brand and generic transdermal medications have become available and notable changes regarding the presence or absence of metallic content among existing transdermal formulations occurred. To update the tables within the article, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved transdermal medications through October 2020 were researched in order to determine metallic content and procedures for reapplication after MRI, if applicable. Readers should consult the prescribing information or manufacturer for the most current information on use of transdermal medications in the MRI setting. Of note, manufacturers have not evaluated the use of transdermal products while patients undergo a MRI scan.

Photodegradation ofp-nitrophenol catalyzed by ZnO/MWCNTs composite in water was investigated. The effects of pH, irradiation time, catalyst loading, initial substrate concentration and MWCNTs content on the degradation were investigated. Experiment results revealed that the optimal conditions were ap-nitrophenol concentration of 60.0 mg/L at pH 5.0 with catalyst loading of 10.0 g/L under solar irradiation for the illumination of 180 min. The highest efficiency on photodegradation ofp-nitrophenol can be achieved with an optimal MWCNTs/ZnO mass ratio of 0.16%. Possible decomposing mechanisms were also discussed. The repeatability of photocatalytic activity was tested. The photocatalyst was used ten cycles with degradation efficiency still higher than 95%. The results of the study showed the feasible and potential use of ZnO/MWCNTs composite in degradation of toxic organic pollutants.

Background: Overactive bladder is an age-related urologic disease. An oxybutynin transdermal patch is used to treat overactive bladder; however, long-term use is not advised because of potential adverse reactions at the site of application. The present study aimed to investigate the advantages of administering a combination of heparinoid cream and oxybutynin transdermal patch treatment for overactive bladder in elderly patients. Methods: Eight patients (>65 years of age) with overactive bladder were included. The heparinoid cream was applied topically for 1 week, and skin hydration and transepidermal water loss were quantified before and after application. Thereafter, patients were treated with a combination of an oxybutynin transdermal patch and a heparinoid cream for 12 weeks, and the sites of application were monitored for adverse reactions. Clinical effects of the combinatorial treatment were assessed based on the overactive bladder symptom score. Results: Application of the heparinoid cream did not decrease transepidermal water loss, but increased skin hydration and improved dryness. Oxybutynin transdermal patch therapy was not interrupted because no skin irritation was observed at the site of application for 12 weeks, and the overactive bladder symptom score decreased significantly (p<0.05). Conclusions: Combination treatment with an oxybutynin transdermal patch and a heparinoid cream improved treatment outcomes, suggesting that skin hydration with heparinoid cream is a promising treatment method to ensure appropriate use of oxybutynin transdermal patches in elderly patients with overactive bladders.

The skin irritating, sensitizing, and acute dermal toxicity potential of a novel combinational prophylactic transdermal patch, mainly composed of eserine and pralidoxime chloride as active pharmaceutical ingredients, against (±) anatoxin-a poisoning were investigated in rabbits, guinea pigs, and rats in compliance with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development guidelines. In primary skin irritation test, rabbits were dermally attached with the therapeutically active transdermal patch or with a placebo patch for 72 hours. The transdermal patches did not induce any adverse reactions such as erythema and edema on intact skin sites. The active patch was classified as a practically nonirritating material based on the score in the primary irritation index. In the Buehler test, guinea pigs were sensitized by the active or placebo transdermal patches attached for 24 hours. The patches did not induce any sensitization reactions in contrast to a severe sensitization reaction that occurred in the positive control. Therefore, the active patch and placebo patch were both graded as weak in sensitization score and rate. Acute dermal toxicity test in rats did not produce any overt signs of toxicity following a 14-day treatment period. Taken together, these findings suggest that the transdermal patch does not cause skin irritation, skin sensitization, or dermal toxic effects following dermal application.

The transdermal patch can deliver the active substance with good bioavailability, then made formulations of such preparations from dayak onion extract, which has a compound content of flavonoids, with a combination of polymer PVP K30 and ethyl cellulose to produce transdermal patches with good physical evaluation and penetration. The research aims to carry out the effect and ideal formulation of transdermal patches of dayak onion extract with a combination of polymers PVP K30 and ethyl cellulose based on physical evaluation and penetration—manufacture of transdermal patches using the solvent evaporation method. Physical evaluation includes organoleptic testing, weight uniformity, thickness, folding resistance, and moisture testing. Then evaluate the penetration of the active substance using Franz diffusion cells. Analyze data with One Way ANOVA. The physical evaluation results of weight uniformity, patch thickness, folding resistance, and moisture test of transdermal patches on F1, F2, F3, and F4 meet the requirements. As for the results of penetration tests, F1, F2, F3, and F4 can be penetrated from 120 minutes to 180 minutes with the concentration of active substances that are linearly penetrated. The combination of polymers PVP K30 and ethylcellulose has affected the physical evaluation of transdermal patches of dayak onion extract. Based on the physical evaluation and penetration test in vitro obtained, the most optimal formula results are F3 with comparison PVP K30 and ethyl cellulose (100:300).

This paper describes an investigation into the use of three power plant wastes: fly ash, flue gas desulphurization gypsum, and bottom ash for subbase layers in road construction. Two kinds of mixtures of these wastes with Portland cement and water were made: first with fly ash consisting of coarser particles (<1.651 mm) and second with fly ash consisting of smaller particles (<0.42 mm). The mass ratio of fly ash-Portland cement-flue gas desulphurization gypsum-bottom ash was the same (3 : 1 : 1 : 5) in both mixtures. For both mixtures, the compressive strength, the mineralogical composition, and the leaching characteristics were determined at different times, 7 and 28 days, after preparation. The obtained results showed that both mixtures could find a potential use for subbase layers in road construction.

Abstract Synthesis of the starch/silicone composite carried out and its structural characterization by FTIR, Raman and 29Si NMR allowed to identify functional groups of the composite. The synthesis conditions were a starch/silicone mass ratio of 2.0 and a temperature of 150 oC to obtain a yield of 84.63 %. SEM analysis showed that the starch granules were covered by silicone, this caused a decrease in the crystallinity of starch. Composite films have higher thermal stability compared to native starch. Mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of the starch/silicone composite film increase with respect to starch-only films. While the crystallinity of both films is similar. The results obtained in this work indicate that starch/silicone composites can be an alternative to make films with a potential use for the packaging industry.
