Colonic treatments and targets : issues and opportunities
(2009)The colon provides a plethora of therapeutic opportunities. There are multiple disease targets, drug molecules, and colon-specific delivery systems to be explored. Clinical studies highlight the potential for systemic ... -
SEM/EDX and confocal microscopy analysis of novel and conventional enteric-coated systems
(2009-03)novel double coating enteric system (comprising an inner layer of neutralised EUDRAGIT® L 30 D-55 and organic acid, and an outer layer of standard EUDRAGIT® L 30 D-55) was developed to provide fast dissolution in proximal ... -
A novel concept in enteric coating : a double-coating system providing rapid drug release in the proximal small intestine
(2009-01)A novel double-coating enteric system was developed to accelerate drug release in conditions resembling the upper small intestine. The system comprises an inner coat (partially neutralised EUDRAGIT® L 30 D-55 and organic ... -
A novel double-coating approach for improved pH-triggered delivery to the ileo-colonic region of the gastrointestinal tract
(2010)Oral pH-responsive systems for drug delivery to the ileo-colonic region of the gastrointestinal tract show poor site specificity. Here, we describe a novel double-coating concept, based on the acrylic polymer EUDRAGIT® S, ... -
A paradigm shift in enteric coating : achieving rapid release in the proximal small intestine of man
(2010)The in vivo performance of a novel enteric double-coating technology designed to accelerate release in the proximal small intestine of humans was investigated. Tablet cores were coated with a double layer formulation ... -
Analysis and optimization of a passive micromixer with curved-shaped baffles for efficient mixing with low pressure loss in continuous flow
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)Numerical simulations and an optimization method are used to study the design of a planar T-micromixer with curved-shaped baffles in the mixing channel. The mixing efficiency and the pressure loss in the mixing channel ... -
Optimization of diffuser/nozzle elements for rectification valveless micropumps
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)There has been a growing interest in understanding the flow behaviour inside diffuser/nozzle elements in order to identify performance characteristics of these elements for micropump applications. Flat-walled diffuser/nozzle ... -
