An aqueous dispersion of niosomes (non-ionic surfactant vesicles) emulsified in an external oil phase forms the vesicle-in-water-in-oil (v/w/o) system described in this paper. The properties of the surfactant used to form the vesicles, the surfactant or surfactant mixture used to stabilize the emulsion and the nature of the oil phase can be changed to provide systems of different capacities for drug or antigen and different release characteristics. The same nonionic surfactant is used as the principle amphipile to form the niosomes and to stabilize the w/o emulsion, thus promoting stability by decreasing transfer of surfactant between the stabilizing monolayers and the vesicle bilayers. The in vitro release of carboxyfluoroscein and 5-fluorouracil encapsulated within the niosomes of the v/w/o system has been investigated, the nature of the oil phase and surfactant-oil interactions being important in determining the rate of solute release. Initial studies of the system in vivo, as an adjuvant for tetanus toroid, using cottonseed oil as the external oil phase, showed enhanced immunological activity over the free antigen or vesicles.

A novel method to measure the glass and melting transitions of pharmaceutical powders
Abiad, Mohamad G.; Gonzalez, David C.; Mert, Behiç; Campanella, Osvaldo H.; Carvajal, M. Teresa (Elsevier BV, 2010-08-30)
A method to measure thermo-mechanical properties of pharmaceutical and polymeric powders was developed The measurements are conducted by characterizing the material's response to applied acoustic waves Measurements were performed using griseofulvin, felodipine and indomethacin as model drugs and polyethylene oxide (MW 200,000, 900,000, 2,000,000 Da) as model polymers. The method employed measures the mechanical Impedance enabled the calculation of the powder theological and thermo-mechanical properties. Mea...
Concentration-dependent differing actions of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, celecoxib, in distearoyl phosphatidylcholine multilamellar vesicles
Sade, Asli; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Severcan, Feride (Informa UK Limited, 2010-06-01)
The interactions of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, celecoxib, with 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine multilamellar vesicles were studied as a function of temperature and different drug concentrations, using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and turbidity technique at 440 nm. Our studies reveal that celecoxib lowers the main phase-transition temperature and decreases the fluidity of the membranes at all concentrations. Celecoxib induced opposing ef...
The immunological co-adjuvant action of liposomal interleukin-2: The role of mode of localisation of the cytokine and antigen in the vesicles
Gürsel, Mayda (Informa UK Limited, 1998-01-01)
In experiments designed to study the co-adjuvant action of interleukin-2, a model antigen (tetanus toroid) was passively entrapped in, or covalently coupled to multilamellar liposomes in the presence or absence of interleukin-2 (IL-2). When present, IL-2 was either co-entrapped with the toroid, entrapped alone in liposomes with toroid coupled to their surface, or coupled to the surface of liposomes with entrapped toroid. The role of spatial localization of IL-2 within the liposomal structure (vis a vis that...
STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY-RELATIONSHIPS OF SOME ANTIMICROBIAL 5-SUBSTITUTED 2-(3-PYRIDYL) BENZOXAZOLES USING QUANTUM-CHEMICAL CALCULATIONS
SENER, E; TURGUT, H; YALCIN, I; OREN, I; Türker, Burhan Lemi; CELEBI, N; AKIN, A (Elsevier BV, 1994-09-19)
The synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial activity of 5-substituted 2-(3-pyridyl)benzoxazoles (3-7) is described for some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and the yeast Candida albicans. The compounds 3-7 exhibited significant activity against the screened microorganisms, having MIC values between 25 and 12.5 mu g/ml. Quantum-chemical calculations were performed for the compounds 1-10, in order to observe some feasible structure-activity relationships. These theoretical observations, calculated for t...
Novel synthetic methodologies for heterocycles as building blocks in drug synthesis
Subaşı, Nuriye Tuna; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2011)
Nitrogen containing heterocycles have always constituted a subject of great interest due to their wide presence in biologically important compounds so the development of efficient methods for the preparation of pyrrole derivatives and formation of new pyrrole-based heterocyclic compounds are an attractive goal in heterocyclic chemistry. In this study, starting from dimethoxytetrahydrofurane and amino acid esters, unsubstituted pyrrole derivatives, and treatment of amino acid esters with convenient chloroeno...
