An Overview on Natural Polymers in Novel Drug Delivery System
Abstract: Any pharmaceutical formulation contains two ingredients, one is the active ingredient and other is an excipient. An excipients help in the manufacturing of dosage form and it also improve physicochemical parameters of the dosage form. Polymer plays an important role as excipients in any dosage form. They influence drug release and it should be compatible, nontoxic, stable, economic etc. They are broadly classified as natural polymers and synthetic polymer. They …

Extensive Review on Ebola Virus
Abstract: Although Ebola virus (EBOV) is transmitted by unprotected physical contact with infected persons, few data exist on which specific bodily fluids are infected or on the risk of transmission. Therefore, we tested various clinical specimens from 26 laboratory-confirmed cases of Ebola hemorrhagic fever, as well as environmental specimens collected from an isolation ward, for the presence of EBOV. Virus was detected by culture and/or reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction in 16 …

A Review on Novel Emulsification Technique: A Nanoemulsion
Abstract: Kinetically stable and isotropic system of submicron size range is the nanoemulsion. In this system two immiscible liquids are mixed together to form a single-phase system with the identical concentration and ratio of surfactant and cosurfactant. Nanoemulsion droplet sizes fall typically in the range of 20- 200 nm. Some literature suggest this range below 100 nm with shows narrow size distribution. In this review, major focus is given on the …
