Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The dialysis membrane diffusion technique [32 (link),33 (link),34 (link)] was applied to analyze the in vitro release of optimized temazepam NLC formulation (NLC-1) compared with temazepam suspension. PBS (pH 7.4, 40 mL) was selected as the release vehicle. An accurately weighed amount of freeze-dried temazepam-loaded NLC-1 dispersion in PBS, pH 7.4, equivalent to (141 µg/mL) temazepam was added to a glass cylinder fitted at its lower end with presoaked cellulose membrane (Spectra/Por® dialysis membrane, M.W. cut off 12,000–14,000). The glass cylinder was then immersed in a beaker containing the release medium at 37 ± 0.5 °C and agitated at a constant speed of 100 rpm. Aliquots (3 mL) were withdrawn and substituted with fresh medium. The drug content was determined spectrophotometrically using Shimadzu, model UV-1601 PC (Kyoto, Japan), λ = 232 nm, at predetermined time intervals for 24 h. The release experiment was performed in triplicate. Various mathematical models were applied, in order to determine the kinetics and mechanism of drug release from the developed NLC formulation.

Quantifying Total Phenolic Content in Ginger and Garlic

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The total phenolic content (TPC) of ginger and garlic extracts was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, according to previously described procedures [31 (link)]. Precisely, 10 mg of gallic acid was dissolved in 100 ml of 50% methanol and diluted to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 g/ml. An aliquot (1 ml) from each dilution was transferred to a test tube and diluted with 10 ml of distilled water. Then 2 ml of Folin-Ciocalteu's reagent was added, vortexed, and left to incubate for 5 min at room temperature. In each test tube, 4 ml of 0.7 M Na2CO3 were added, adjusted with distilled water up to the mark of 25 ml, vortexed, and held for 30 min at room temperature. The absorbance of the standard was measured against a blank using a UV/VIS spectrophotometer (Shimadzu model UV-1601 PC, Kyoto, Japan) (distilled water). Similarly, 1 ml of the sample extracts were prepared and analyzed using a comparable process. A standard curve was then plotted using garlic acid, and total phenolic contents were calculated using the linear equation on the standard curve. Total phenolic components were calculated as mg/100 g extract of gallic acid equivalent (GAE).

To determine the drug content, 0.1 ml of the dispersion was appropriately diluted using methanol. Afterward, the UV absorbance of the diluted sample was determined using a UV spectrophotometer (model UV-1601 PC, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) at λmax 244 nm (Dong et al., 2018 (link)). The drug content was measured using the following equation (El-Leithy et al., 2018 (link)):

MTX-ZnONPs were characterized by UV-vis spectrophotometry (Shimadzu dual-beam spectrophotometer, model UV-1601 PC, 1 nm resolution. Kyoto, Japan). The mean particle size and zeta potential of MTX-ZnONPs were determined using a particle size analyzer (Zetasizer Nano-ZS, Model ZEN3600, Malvern Instruments Ltd., Malvern, United Kingdom) [(Gomathy and Sabarinathan, 2010 ), 15]. Transmission electron microscope (Tecnai™ G2 Spirit Bio-TWIN, FEI, Hillsboro, United States) was used to investigate the size of the inorganic core at a accelerating voltage of 80 kV (Khan S. et al., 2018 (link)). The binding confirmation of MTX on the surface of ZnONPs was analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) (Shimadzu FTIR-8201 PC infrared spectrophotometer) operating in the diffuse reflectance mode at a resolution of 4 cm−1. A total of 256 scans of the ZnONPs film (400–4,000 cm−1 range) were acquired to obtain good signal-to-noise ratios.

The %EE of LX was calculated indirectly by measuring the free LX (nonencapsulated LX) in the dispersion medium. One milliliter of dispersion medium was subjected to centrifugation via a cooling centrifuge (3K30, Sigma, Germany) at 15,000 rpm for one hour at 4°C. The supernatant was detached, diluted with ethanol (95%). The concentration of free LX was spectrophotometrically calculated (Shimadzu, model UV-1601 PC, Kyoto, Japan) at λmax 381 nm via the calibration curve (n=3, R2=0.9999). Each formula was tested three times. The %EE was computed using the subsequent formula:21–23 (link)

Each of optimized STZ-MMs were mixed with 0.1% w/w aqueous mucin solution (1:40) and incubated at 37 ± 2 °C for 24 h at 100 rpm. At three different time points (6, 12, and 24 h), the PS and ZP of the dispersions were measured as mentioned previously. Also, the turbidity of the incubated dispersions was evaluated by measuring the transmittance % (T%) spectrophotometrically at λmax 500 nm (Shimadzu UV-1601PC, Kyoto, Japan) (Di Prima et al., 2017 (link)). The turbidity was calculated according to the following equation (Abdelbary and Tadros, 2013 (link)):
Turbidity=(100  T%)100 
Results were compared with ZP, PS, and turbidity values measured for mucin solution and aqueous MMs dispersions.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
