Background: Considering the chronic and repeated nature of salmon calcitonin (sCT) therapy, the oral route is a preferred route of administration. But, the oral bioavailability of sCT is very low due to enzymatic degradation and poor permeation across intestinal epithelial cells. It was the aim of this study to investigate the pharmacodynamic (PD), pharmacokinetic (PK), and mucosal injury characteristic of sCT oral delivery system. Method: In this study, PD experiments were performed to find a suitable releasing region of sCT, an effect absorption enhancer, and an optimal mass ratio of sCT/enhancer. In addition, the PK experiments were designed to validate the absorption enhancement of this oral delivery system. Histopathological evaluations on the intestinal mucosa were carried out to assess any potential toxicity of the absorption enhancer. Results: Through the PD research, we determined that oral sCT enteric-coated capsules containing sCT and citric acid (CA) with a ratio of 1:20 may be an adaptable delivery. PK study further proved that the oral absorption of sCT was enhanced from this delivery system. Finally, no damage on intestinal mucosa was observed when rats received the delivery system containing CA for up to 7 days. Conclusion: These results suggested that enteric-coated capsules with a certain amount of CA might give enhanced oral delivery of peptide drugs like sCT. 相似文献

Purpose: Nicardipine hydrochloride has been used widely for the treatment of angina pectoris and hypertension. Because of its extensive first pass metabolism after oral administration, the transdermal administration of nicardipine microemulsions was developed in this study. Methods: Microemulsions consisted of isopropyl myristate (IPM), surfactant mixture of Tween 80/Span 80 and/or Tween 80/Span 20, co-surfactant (ethanol) and aqueous phase. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed using water titration method. The effect of component of microemulsion on the percutaneous absorption of drug was evaluated by in vitro permeation study. Results: The area of microemulsion isotropic region in the presence of ethanol was comparably larger in the absence of ethanol. The mean droplet size of nicardipine microemulsions ranged from 70 to 123 nm. With addition of ethanol, the droplet size became smaller. The permeation rate and extent of nicardipine microemulsion transport across rat skin was affected by the components of microemulsion. Nicardipine microemulsion had higher flux at surfactant mixture with lower hyrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) value and Tween content. Conclusions: The microemulsion consisted of 52% IPM, 35% surfactant mixture and 13% water had higher permeation rate through rat skin above 122.53±1.87 μg/cm2/h and was expected to develop a transdermal delivery system. 相似文献

Vesicular systems endow large opportunities for the transdermal delivery of therapeutics. The present study was designed to investigate the potential of a novel class of vesicular system ‘proniosome’ as a carrier for transdermal delivery of bromocriptine (BCT). Proniosome formulations were prepared by the coacervation-phase separation method and the influence of factors like surfactant type and its amount, lipid concentration, cholesterol amount and drug content were studied. Span 60 was the most appropriate surfactant, and yielded vesicle size and percentage encapsulation efficiency of 1.3 µm and 98.9%, respectively. The developed system was characterised w.r.t. morphology, transition temperature, drug release, skin permeation and skin irritancy. Proniosomes exhibited a sustained release pattern of BCT in vitro. Skin permeation study revealed high penetration of proniosomes with sustained release of BCT through rat skin. The optimised proniosomal formulation showed enhanced transdermal flux of 16.15 μg/cm2/h as compared to 3.67 μg/cm2/h for drug dispersion. The developed formulations were observed as non-irritant to the rat skin and were found as quite stable at 4 and 25 °C for 90 days w.r.t. vesicle size and drug content. The dried proniosomal formulation could act as a promising alternative to niosomes and preferably for transdermal delivery of BCT. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to develop nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) for transdermal delivery of Flurbiprofen (FP). The physical stability of FP-NLC and its in vitro permeation profile were investigated. After three months of storage at 4°C, 20°C, and 40°C, no significant differences between the evaluated parameters, such as pH value, the entrapment efficiency, particle size, and zeta potential were observed. In in vitro permeation studies, the cumulative permeated amounts and the release rate from FP-NLC were 412.53 ± 21.37 μg/cm2 and 35.25 μg/cm2/h after 12 h (n = 6), respectively, while from saturated FP-PBS (pH = 7.4) were 90.83 ± 8.67 μg/cm2 and 6.99 μg/cm2/h, respectively. These results indicated that the FP-NLC were with good physical stability and were able to improve the permeated amounts and the release rate of FP. It could potentially be exploited as a carrier with improved drug entrapment efficiency and permeated amount in the transdermal delivery of FP. 相似文献

ABSTRACTIn this investigation, the diffusion of the beta2 agonist albuterol sulfate (ABS) across several membranes (cellulose, hairless mouse skin, human cadaver skin) from polymer gels was studied, and the effects of several fatty acids on drug permeation through skin were evaluated. The results were then used to predict whether transdermal delivery would be appropriate for ABS. All in vitro release studies were carried out at 37°C using modified Franz diffusion cells. In preliminary studies, ABS release through cellulose membranes was studied from two polymeric gels, Klucel® (hydroxypropylcellulose) and Methocel® (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose). Three polymer concentrations were used for each gel (0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%). From these experiments, Klucel 0.5% was selected as the optimal formulation to study ABS diffusion across hairless mouse skin. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of capric acid, lauric acid, and myristic acid as penetration enhancers. The results suggested that lauric acid preferentially enhanced ABS diffusion compared to the other fatty acids studied, and follow-up studies were done to evaluate the release through human cadaver skin from a donor containing 2% ABS and lauric acid in 0.5% Klucel®. These experiments showed that a 2:1 (lauric acid:ABS) molar ratio gave the best ABS release rates. The release rate across human cadaver skin declined slowly over 24 hr, and an average flux over 24 hr of ?0.09 mg/hr cm2 was measured. Using this value as a steady-state flux, extrapolations predicted that transdermal delivery can be used to maintain therapeutic ABS plasma levels (6–14 ng/mL) for extended periods. The results of this research suggest that ABS is a good candidate for transdermal drug delivery. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to develop nanoemulsion as a possible vehicle for enhanced transdermal penetration of carvedilol (CVD). For screening of nanoemulsion components, solubility of CVD in oils, surfactants and co-surfactants was determined. Various surfactants and co-surfactants were screened for their ability to nanoemulsify the selected oily phases. The obtained results indicated that Acconon CC6® had shown good nanoemulsification efficiency (minimum surfactant required S min?=?46.52%?w/w) among the selected surfactants and further improved in presence of CO-20® (S min?=?37.11%?w/w). The ranges of nanoemulsion existence were delineated through the construction of the pseudo-ternary phase diagram at different ratio of surfactant mixture (S/CoS), and various nanoemulsions were selected from phase diagram of S/CoS ratio 1?:?1. The effect of content of oil and S/CoS (1?:?1) on the skin permeation of CVD was evaluated through an excised wistar rat skin using Franz diffusion cell. All the nanoemulsions showed a high skin permeation rate (92.251–161.53?µg/cm2/h), good enhancement ratio (3.5–6.2) and high permeability coefficient in comparison to control groups. The optimised nanoemulsion formulation with the highest skin permeation rate (161.53?µg/cm2/h) consisted of 0.25%?w/w CVD, 12.5%?w/w Miglyol 810®, 50%?w/w Acconon CC6®/CO-20® (1?:?1) and water. The above formulation had the smallest mean globules size (9.28?nm). The superior transdermal flux of CVD may be due to nanorange size of oil globules that lead to intimate contact with the skin layer. These studies suggest that the nanoemulsion system is a promising vehicle for the transdermal delivery of CVD. 相似文献

Objective: The aim of the present work is to exclusively optimize and model the effect of phospholipid type either egg phosphatidylcholine (EPC) or soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC), together with other formulation variables, on the development of nano-ethosomal systems for transdermal delivery of a water-soluble antiemetic drug. Tropisetron HCl (TRO) is available as hard gelatin capsules and IV injections. The transdermal delivery of TRO is considered as a novel alternative route supposing to improve BAV as well as patient convenience.Methods: TRO-loaded ethanolic vesicular systems were prepared by hot technique. The effect of formulation variables were optimized through a response surface methodology using 3?×?22-level full factorial design. The concentrations of both PC (A) and ethanol (B) and PC type (C) were the factors, while entrapment efficiency (Y1), vesicle size (Y2), polydispersity index (Y3), and zeta potential (Y4) were the responses. The drug permeation across rat skin from selected formulae was studied. Particle morphology, drug–excipient interactions, and vesicle stability were also investigated.Results: The results proved the critical role of all formulation variables on ethosomal characteristics. The suggested models for all responses showed good predictability. Only the concentration of phospholipid, irrespective to PC type, had a significant effect on the transdermal flux (p?0.01). The ethosomal vesicles were unilamellar with a nearly spherical shape. EPC-based ethosomes proved good stability.Conclusion: The study suggests the applicability of statistical modeling as a promising tool for prediction of ethosomal characteristics. The ethanolic vesicles were considered as novel potential nanocarriers for accentuated transdermal TRO delivery. 相似文献

Background: The oral administration of loratadine, an antihistamine, can have a variety of adverse side effects, such as headache, fatigue, and nausea, because of the transient high blood concentration. To avoid these effects, loratadine can be administered using a transdermal drug delivery system. Method: This study examined the effects of the drug concentration on drug release from prepared hydroxypropyl methylcellulose gels using a synthetic cellulose membrane at 37°C. The drug concentrations tested were 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, and 0.5% (w/w). The effect of temperature on drug release from the 0.3% loratadine gels was evaluated at 27°C, 32°C, 37°C, and 42°C. Various types of penetration enhancers, such as glycols, glycerides, propylene glycol derivatives, nonionic surfactants, and fatty acids, were incorporated in the gel formulation to increase the level of drug permeation. Results: The rate of drug release increased with increasing drug concentration or temperature. The activation energy for the release of the drug was 5.714 kcal/mol for 0.3% loratadine gel. Among all the enhancers used in this study, polyoxyethylene 2-stearyl ether showed the best enhancing effect. The enhancement factor of the loratadine gel containing the polyoxyethylene 2-stearyl ether was 2.03 compared with that of the loratadine system containing no enhancer. Conclusions: These results suggest that the topical gel formulation of loratadine containing a penetration enhancer could be developed to enhance the penetration of loratadine. 相似文献

To enhance the systemic transdermal delivery of papaverine for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, several factors that influence transdermal delivery of papaverine HCl were studied. The effects of membrane types for in vitro permeation study, human skin layers, solvent/cosolvent systems and the penetration enhancers on the transdermal permeation of papaverine HCl were investigated. A combination of caproic acid, ethanol and water in the volume ratio of 50%:30%:20% was chosen as penetration enhancer and incorporated in two gel bases: 18% Pluronic F-127 and 2% Carbopol 940. In vivo skin permeation studies were performed with two loading doses (0.6% and 2%) in rabbits. The flux and permeability coefficient of papaverine HCl through different human skin layers suggested that the major barrier layer for papaverine HCl was residing primarily in the stratum corneum. However, the viable epidermis and dermis layer also contributed certain degrees of diffusion resistance. Differential Scanning Calorimetry study showed that penetration enhancer exhibited a counter effect with papaverine HCl on the temperature and enthalpy in both gels. In vitro drug release study demonstrated significant increases in the steady-state flux, permeability coefficient and enhancement ratio in these gels. Faster drug transports and higher bioavailability were also observed in rabbits. Skin irritation test performed in rabbits demonstrated a mild skin reaction with mean PII scores of 2 and below; however the recovery was fast. In conclusion, caproic acid, ethanol and water in the volume ratio of 50%:30%:20% is an effective penetration enhancer to deliver papaverine HCl transdermally for systemic absorption. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to improve the transdermal delivery of cyclobenzaprine (CBZ) from drug-in-adhesive patch which showed less side effects and better compliance. CBZ base was prepared and then characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The interaction between CBZ and pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) was determined by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The influences of PSAs, penetration enhancers, patch thickness and drug content on the transdermal delivery of CBZ were studied thoroughly in vitro. Both CBZ releasing from patch and penetrating through the skin showed very great effect on the transdermal delivery of CBZ. The percentage of drug released from patch was increased with the decreasing of patch thickness, and so did the permeation percentage. The stratum corneum (SC) contributed approximately 57% resistance of total skin permeation resistance, and Span 20 increased the transdermal permeation by approximately 1.59-fold. The pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained through in vivo experiments of the optimized formulation using rabbit. Furthermore, the in vitro skin permeation results of CBZ patch correlated well with the in vivo absorption results in rabbit. 相似文献

In this study, cinnamic acid-loaded transfersomes were prepared and dermal microdialysis sampling was used in Sprague–Dawley rats to compare the amount of drug released into the skin using transfersomes as transdermal carriers with that released on using conventional liposomes. The formulation of cinnamic acid-loaded transfersomes was optimized by a uniform design through in vitro transdermal permeation studies. Hydration time was confirmed as a significant factor influencing the entrapment efficiency of transfersomes, further affecting their transdermal flux in vitro. The fluxes of cinnamic acid from transfersomes were all higher than those from conventional liposomes, and the flux from the optimal transfersome formulation was 3.01-fold higher than that from the conventional liposomes (p?0.05). An in vivo microdialysis sampling method revealed that the dermal drug concentrations from transfersomes applied on various skin regions were much lower than those required with conventional liposomes. After the administration of drug-containing transfersomes and liposomes on abdominal skin regions of rats for a period of 10?h, the Cmax of cinnamic acid from the compared liposomes was 3.21?±?0.25?μg/mL and that from the transfersomes was merely 0.59?±?0.02?μg/mL. The results suggest that transfersomes can be used as carriers to enhance the transdermal delivery of cinnamic acid, and that these vehicles may penetrate the skin in the complete form, given their significant deformability. 相似文献

Purpose: Damar Batu (DB) is a novel film-forming biomaterial obtained from Shorea species, evaluated in this study for its potential application in transdermal drug delivery system. Methods: DB was characterized initially in terms of acid value, softening point, molecular weight (Mw), polydispersity index (Mw/Mn), and glass transition temperature (Tg). Neat, plasticized films of DB were investigated for mechanical properties. The biomaterial was further investigated as a matrix-forming agent for transdermal drug delivery system. Developed matrix-type transdermal patches were evaluated for thickness and weight uniformity, folding endurance, drug content, in vitro drug release study, and skin permeation study. Results: On the basis of in vitro drug release and in vitro skin permeation performance, formulation containing DB/Eudragit RL100 (60 : 40) was found to be better than other formulations and was selected as the optimized formulation. IR analysis of physical mixture of drug and polymer and thin layer chromatography study exhibited compatibility between drug and polymer. Conclusion: From the outcome of this study, it can be concluded that applying suitable adhesive layer and backing membrane-developed DB/ERL100, transdermal patches can be of potential therapeutic use. 相似文献

Nausea and vomiting are some of the major side effects caused by certain drug therapies, e.g. chemotherapy, radiotherapy and general anesthesia. Because of the nature of the symptoms, oral delivery is inappropriate, while intravenous administration may be unpractical. The aim of the present study was to develop a transdermal gel (2% Klucel®) for ondansetron, a first line 5-HT3-receptor-antagonist antiemetic. The effects of the penetration enhancer camphor and isopropyl-myristate (IPM) were first investigated in-vitro using modified Franz diffusion-cells and then tested in-vivo in a rabbit model by measuring skin and plasma concentrations. Since a disadvantage of transdermal delivery is a prolonged lag-time, the effect of skin treatment with a micro-needle roller was tested. The in-vitro permeation studies through excised porcine ear skin showed that the presence of 2.5% camphor or IPM increased steady state flux by 1.2- and 2.5-fold, respectively, compared to the control gel. Ondansetron was not detectable in either skin or plasma following in-vivo application of the base-gel, whereas the camphor gel and IPM gel delivered 20 and 81?µg/cm2 of ondansetron, respectively. Microporation led to an increase in plasma Cmax and AUC by 10.47?±?1.68-fold and 9.31?±?4.91-fold, respectively, for the camphor gel, and by 2.31?±?0.53-fold and 1.59?±?0.38-fold, respectively for the IPM gel. In conclusion, the 2.5% IPM gel demonstrated optimal in-vivo transdermal flux. Skin pretreatment with a micro-needle roller slightly improved the delivery of the IPM gel, whereas dramatically increased the transdermal delivery of the camphor gel. 相似文献

AbstractThe purpose of the study is to develop a suitable transdermal delivery system for ketotifen. The physicochemical properties and skin penetration of ketotifen were evaluated for the optimization of the method of patch preparation. The distribution coefficients of ketotifen were determined in octanol/phosphate buffer systems, the partition coefficient and pka value of ketotifen were obtained as 120 and 6.73, respectively. In vitro skin penetration of ketotifen solution was determined at 35°C in the Valia-Chien diffusion cell by using the abdominal skin of nude mouse. The results showed that ketotifen had an optimal skin permeability at pH 7.5. In addition, ketotifen had higher rate of penetration through stripped skin, it was suggested that the main barrier for percutaneous absorption of ketotifen is stratum corneum. Ketotifen patch was fabricated in a stainless mold containing Eudragit S-100 and PEG 400. Other components, tween, span and fatty acids were also incorporated into the patch as penetration enhancers. For animal study, a patch with area of 30 cm2 was applied on the dorsal skin of rabbit. The plasma level, after 10 hrs administration were reached 60 ng/mL and maintained a constant level. The results proposed that ketotifen was successfully absorbed through the skin from the applied patch. 相似文献

Aim: To characterize the enhanced stability and permeation potential of amphotericin B nanoemulsion comprising sefsol-218 oil at varying pH and temperature of aqueous continuous phase.Methodology: Several batches of amphotericin B loaded nanoemulsion were prepared and evaluated for their physical and chemical stability at different pH and temperature. Also, a comparative study of ex vivo drug permeation across the albino rat skin was investigated with commercial Fungisome® and drug solution at 37?°C for 24?h. The extent of drug penetrated through the rat skin was thereby evaluated using the confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).Results and conclusions: The optimized nanoemulsion demonstrated the highest flux rate 17.85?±?0.5?µg/cm2/h than drug solution (5.37?±?0.01?µg/cm2/h) and Fungisome® (7.97?±?0.01?µg/cm2/h). Ex vivo drug penetration mechanism from the developed formulations at pH 6.8 and pH 7.4 of aqueous phase pH using the CLSM revealed enhanced penetration. Ex vivo drug penetration studies of developed formulation comprising of CLSM revealed enhanced penetration in aqueous phase at pH 6.8 and 7.4. The aggregation behavior of nanoemulsion at both the pH was found to be minimum and non-nephrotoxic. The stability of amphotericin B was obtained in terms of pH, optical density, globular size, polydispersity index and zeta potential value at different temperature for 90 days. The slowest drug degradation was observed in aqueous phase at pH 7.4 with shelf life 20.03-folds higher when stored at 4?°C (3.8 years) and 5-fold higher at 25?°C (0.951 years) than at 40?°C. The combined results suggested that nanoemulsion may hold an alternative for enhanced and sustained topical delivery system for amphotericin B. 相似文献

Objective: The conventional liposomal amphotericin B causes many unwanted side effects like blood disorder, nephrotoxicity, dose-dependent side effects, highly variable oral absorption and formulation-related instability. The objective of the present investigation was to develop cost-effective nanoemulsion as nanocarreir for enhanced and sustained delivery of amphotericin B into the skin.Methods and characterizations: Different oil-in-water nanoemulsions were developed by varying the composition of hydrophilic (Tween® 80) surfactants and co-surfactant by the spontaneous titration method. The developed formulation were characterized, optimized, evaluated and compared for the skin permeation with commercial formulation (fungisome 0.01% w/w). Optimized formulations loaded with amphotericin B were screened using varied concentrations of surfactants and co-surfactants as decided by the ternary phase diagram.Results and discussion: The maximum % transmittance obtained were 96.9?±?1.0%, 95.9?±?3.0% and 93.7?±?1.2% for the optimized formulations F-I, F-III and F-VI, respectively. These optimized nanoemulsions were subjected to thermodynamic stability study to get the most stable nanoemulsions (F-I). The results of the particle size and zeta potential value were found to be 67.32?±?0.8 nm and –3.7?±?1.2?mV for the final optimized nanoemulsion F-I supporting transparency and stable nanoemulsion for better skin permeation. The steady state transdermal flux for the formulations was observed between 5.89?±?2.06 and 18.02?±?4.3?µg/cm2/h whereas the maximum enhancement ratio were found 1.85- and 3.0-fold higher than fungisome and drug solution, respectively, for F-I. The results of the skin deposition study suggests that 231.37?±?3.6?µg/cm2 drug deposited from optimized nanoemulsion F-I and 2.11-fold higher enhancement ratio as compared to fungisome. Optimized surfactants and co-surfactant combination-mediated transport of the drug through the skin was also tried and the results were shown to have facilitated drug permeation and skin perturbation (SEM).Conclusion: The combined results suggested that amphotericin B nanoemulsion could be a better option for localized topical drug delivery and have greater potential as an effective, efficient and safe approach. 相似文献

The purpose of the present work was to elaborate an optimized transdermal therapeutic system for diflunisal. Selection of suitable ingredients was done via solubility and phase behavior studies. Composition of microemulsion (ME) systems consisting of butyl lactate, Brij® 97, Transcutol® and water was optimized using augmented simplex lattice mixture design. The independent variables selected were the percentages of butyl lactate, surfactant mixture and water. The dependent variables were refractive index, pH, conductivity, viscosity, drug solubility in the ME formulation and the ex vivo skin permeation flux. Mathematical equations and response surface plots were used to relate the dependent and independent variables. The statistical validity of the polynomials was established. Optimized formulation factors were selected by desirability approach. The optimized ME formulation was converted into gel using Carbomer® 934. The microemulsion based gel (MBG) showed better spreadability and 5.07-fold increase in the transdermal flux than Carbomer® 934 gel. The in vivo antihyperalgesia assay performed on mice showed significant reduction of the licking time in the treated group compared to the control group. This demonstrated the reliability of the simplex lattice statistical design for predicting optimum ME formulation. The developed MBG proved its in vivo efficiency for transdermal delivery of diflunisal. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of liquid-to-solid lipid ratio on properties of flurbiprofen-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), and to clarify the superiority of NLCs over SLNs for transdermal administration. Particle size, zeta potential, drug encapsulation efficiency, in vitro occlusion factor, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffractometry, in vitro percutaneous permeation profile, and stability of SLNs and NLCs were compared. Particle size, zeta potential, drug encapsulation efficiency, in vitro occlusion factor, and in vitro percutaneous permeation amount of the developed NLCs were all <200?nm, ?20?mV, >78%, >35, and >240?μg/cm2, respectively, however, for SLNs were 280?nm,??29.11?mV, 63.2%, 32.54, and 225.9?μg/cm2, respectively. After 3 months storage at 4?°C and 25?°C, almost no significant differences between the evaluated parameters of NLCs were observed. However, for SLNs, particle size was increased to higher than 300?nm (4?°C and 25?°C), drug encapsulation efficiency was decreased to 51.2 (25?°C), in vitro occlusion factor was also decreased to lower than 25 (4?°C and 25?°C), and the cumulative amount was decreased to 148.9?μg/cm2 (25?°C) and 184.4?μg/cm2 (4?°C), respectively. And DSC and XRD studies indicated that not only the crystalline peaks of the encapsulated flurbiprofen disappeared but also obvious difference between samples and bulk Compritol® ATO 888 was seen. It could be concluded that liquid-to-solid lipid ratio has significant impact on the properties of SLNs and NLCs, and NLCs showed better stability than SLNs. Therefore, NLCs might be a better option than SLNs for transdermal administration. 相似文献

The development of nontoxic, clean techniques for synthesising metal nanoparticles such as gold has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Many reports have been published about the synthesis of gold nanoparticles using plant extracts. However, the stability of these prepared gold nanoparticles has not been investigated. In this research, the stability of gold nanoparticles prepared by Eucalyptus camaldulensis was investigated at different temperatures (4°C, 25°C and 45°C) for 8 weeks. Transmission electron microscopy and visible absorption spectroscopy confirmed the stability of gold nanoparticles during the storage period at the mentioned condition. In addition, Fourier transform–infrared spectroscopy was used to investigate the surface chemistry of gold nanoparticles prepared by the methanol extract of E. camaldulsis. The carboxyl group was characterised on the surface of the gold nanoparticles, and this functional group may have a critical role in the stability of gold nanoparticles prepared by the mentioned plant extract at different conditions. This functional group can be used for drug delivery of amino derivative drugs using gold nanoparticles. 相似文献
