The present article evaluates the composition and synthesis of hydrogel beads. Hydrogels,
owing to their known biocompatibility, are widely used in drug delivery as a host (or drug …

Magnetic nanocellulose alginate hydrogel beads are produced from the assembly of
alginate and magnetic nanocellulose (m-CNCs) as a potential drug delivery system. The m …

Microspheres constitute an important part of novel drug delivery system by virtue of their
small size and efficient carrier capacity. Due to their short residence time, bioadhesive …

Alginate (ALG) and alginate/cellulose (ALG/CEL) beads were prepared and tested as
potential vehicles for encapsulation and controlled release of imazethapyr (IMZ), a broad …

A sericin/alginate blend was successfully applied as a matrix for incorporation of ibuprofen.
This provided a sustained release formulation, which could improve the therapeutic efficacy …

The use of materials from renewable sources instead of fossil fuels is a crucial step forward
in the industrial transition toward sustainability. Among polysaccharides, alginate stands out …

Aiming at a new application of ionic liquids in the formation of biomaterials, polymeric
hydrogel beads sensitive to pH were produced based on alginate, using sulfonate ionic …

The topical delivery of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as Ibuprofen
has been explored as a potential method of avoiding the first pass effects and the gastric …

Objective: Drug delivery to the colon via oral route can be directly treated a variety of
diseases in the colon, such as fibrosis. Tetrandrine is a drug that has anti-fibrosis effects. In …

Controlled release naproxen spheres were prepared in a cross-linked alginate matrix using
ionotropic gelation technique. A suspension of naproxen in 1%, 2%, or 3% w/v sodium …
