or naproxen for headaches the availability of many nontraditional novel dosage forms, oral route remains the most attractive way for administration of therapeutical materials however, many therapeutic agents, especially naprosyn or naproxen for headaches the increasing number of biological molecules cannot be taken up by intestine due to their intrinsic impermeability to tissue membranes and the enzymatic degradation through naprosyn or naproxen for headaches the wall of the gi tract carrier systems that facilitate intestine uptake of these molecules are of major interests in the drug delivery arena moreover, naprosyn or naproxen for headaches drug delivery systems that provide a route of administration that does not involve injection can improve patient compliance and expand the market for existing, injectable, drugs the factors which are important for the oral efficiency of a vehicle system have been repeatedly summarized in the literature, small particle size, appropriate surface naprosyn or naproxen for headaches properties, mucoadhesive and targeting moieties, stability, as well as dose are the major factors imparting the efficiency of oral uptake producing formulations of poorly soluble drugs with high bioavailability is an even higher challenge known technologies are nanocrystals and nanoparticles which use the approach of enhancing the bioavailability by a decrease in particle size, resulting in an increase of surface area and subsequently a faster dissolution other technologies such as solid dispersions, polymeric micelles and naprosyn or naproxen for headaches self emulsifying systems were developed to increase the drug solubility many lipidbased systems were developed to enhance oral bioavailability, examples are lipidbased emulsions & microemulsions solid naprosyn or naproxen for headaches lipid nanoparticles sln, a high melting point lipids zithromax diaper rash enclosed in a surfactant layer, adequate to enhance the oral bioavailability of poorly absorbed drugs lipid nanocapsules naprosyn or naproxen for headaches lnc for oral, injectable use and improved bioavailability lipid nanospheres prepared from egg lecithin and soybean, described for their low toxicity and higher efficacy, compared naprosyn or naproxen for headaches with other delivery systems when incorporating amphotericin b, due to their smaller particle size and lower uptake by reticuloendothelial system, recently, solid lipid microparticles, prepared naprosyn or naproxen for headaches by the solventinwater emulsiondiffusion technique, were described for the encapsulation and oral delivery of insulin in particular, lipidbased cochleate delivery system appears to provide answers to oral delivery challenges by formulating different kind of molecules, especially hydrophobic ones, and protecting the sensitive and biologically active molecules from harsh environmental conditions in naprosyn or naproxen for headaches this review, we will focus on cochlea tes nanoparticular drug carrier and will present the main features and the state of the art of this naprosyn or naproxen for headaches delivery technology cochleates nanoparticles in oral delivery cochleate structure cochleates were first described by dimitrious papahadjopoulos and his coworkers in as precipitates formed by the naprosyn or naproxen for headaches interaction of negatively charged phos phatidylserine and calcium he named these cylindrical structures cochleate, meaning shell in the greek language because of their rolledup form, naprosyn or naproxen for headaches and explained the mechanism of cochleates formation by the fusion of negatively charged vesicles induced by the calcium cation fig these cigarlike structures have gained interest as antigen delivery system for vaccine applications more recently cochleates were studied as tools to deliver small molecule drugs a cochleate lipid formulation of amphotericin naprosyn or naproxen for headaches � has been developed as an oral composition to treat systemic fungal infections other medical and nonmedical applications are also under investigation cochleate preparation which naprosyn or naproxen for headaches phospholipid and which cation to use cochleates are a phospholipidion precipitates does that mean that cochleate is a structure obtained from precipitation of any phospholipid naprosyn or naproxen for headaches with any ion as presented in some litterature?, ie a complex of negatively charged phospholipid with any cation or a complex made from a positively charged naprosyn or naproxen for headaches lipid with any anion � � c � cs fl fusion i ���� {rrirfij ���def fig cochleate cylindrical structure and mechanism of formation adapted from naprosyn or naproxen for headaches refs and with permission papahadjopoulos has given in this appellation to a rolled phospholipid structure so far, to our knowledge no physicochemical evidence on the naprosyn or naproxen for headaches obtention of such cigarlike structure from positively charged phospholipid with an anion had been described on the contrary, extensive litterature is available on obtaining these naprosyn or naproxen for headaches cigarlike structure when negatively charged phospholipid such as phosphos phatidylserine ps had been precipitated with a cation such as calcium other negatively charged phospholipids, such naprosyn or naproxen for headaches as phosphatidic acid pa or phosphatidyl glycerol derivatives, have been studied as well mixture of negatively charged phospholipids with other lipids can lead to cochleate formation in this case, the cochleate formation depends on the negatively charged lipidother lipid ratio and depends on the nature of the negatively charged lipid in the mixed upid system for example, pa derivatives form cochleate domains after the addition of calcium cation however, when mixed with the corresponding diacylphosphatidyl choline pc and diacylphosphatidylethanolamine pe, it was found that up to mole of pc or pe can be introduced into the cochleate phase of paca, above naprosyn or naproxen for headaches which a distinct pc rich or perich phase appears other phospholipid derivatives such as galactosphingolipid hydroxy fatty acid cerebroside were reported to form cochleate cylinders by naprosyn or naproxen for headaches thermal mechanical treatment of glycol suspensions however, the addition of conjugated lipid, such as polyethylene glycollipid conjugates to ps vesicles, inhibited the calciuminduced fusion in naprosyn or naproxen for headaches general, an additional desired feature of an oral drug delivery system is that the excipient permitting this transport to be classified is generally regarded as safe gras soy phosphatidylserine fits this criteria furthermore, soy ps has been used as a nutrient supplement since early s clinical trials showed that ps naprosyn or naproxen for headaches may play a role in supporting mental functions in aging brains such as enhancing the memory, improving learning ability, reducing the stress and anxiety cochleates naprosyn or naproxen for headaches can be made from purified soy phosphatidylserine, which represents an affordable source of raw material a study comparing the purified soy phosphatidylserine psps to nonpurified soy ps npsps has been disclosed in this patent, showing that ps should be present in an amount of at least of the total lipid in naprosyn or naproxen for headaches order to allow the formation of cochleates the other phospholipids present can be selected either from the anionic group such as phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidyl naprosyn or naproxen for headaches inositol or phosphatidylcholine psps cochleates can be loaded with different bioactive materials such as nutritional supplement, vitamins, antiviral, antifungal, small peptides proof of principle of naprosyn or naproxen for headaches the use of purified soy ps has been achieved using a polyene antifungal agent, amphotericin b the preparation method for amphotericin � cochleates can be either naprosyn or naproxen for headaches via high phtrapping or film method or by hydrogel method the latter leading to nanocochleates formation the nature of the cation is an important factor naprosyn or naproxen for headaches in cochleate formation in the precipitation process, divalent cations are preferred to monovalent cations monovalent cations such as na were described to prevent the cochleate naprosyn or naproxen for headaches formation increases concentration of na ions was shown to interfere with the destabiliza tion effect of ca a critical caps ratio is necessary for the naprosyn or naproxen for headaches destabilization effect of divalent cations and the formation of cochleate phases the formation of cochleate is easier from small unilamellar vesicles suv however, multilamellar vesicles naprosyn or naproxen for headaches mlv can also lead to cochleate formation in this case, the first mechanism is a destabilization of the outer bilayer of ps by ca which causes naprosyn or naproxen for headaches its collapse, leading to a higher access of ca to inner ps bilayers and so forth which molecules can be entrapped in cochleates nanoparticles due naprosyn or naproxen for headaches to the intrinsic nature of the lipidcontained cochleates, these nanoparticles can encapsulate a variety of molecules of all shapes and sizes preference is given, however, naprosyn or naproxen for headaches to hydrophobic molecules, for which a

[fig c] or positively charged moiety [fig d] could be encapsulated in the cochleate nanoparticle naprosyn or naproxen for headaches structure the nature of the drug influence the percentage of encapsulation hydrophobic drug shows a quantitative encapsulation, whereas less was seen for amphiphatic molecules for instance, doxorubicin which presents hydrophobic regions is a watersoluble drug, has a partition between the bilayers and the external aqueous phase [fig b] as calcium induces naprosyn or naproxen for headaches dehydration of the interbilayer domains, the amount of water in this region is low, therefore, small hydrophilic molecules will not be suitable for cochleate system naprosyn or naproxen for headaches multiple ways of preparing cochleates ca ca ca co several processes were developed to obtain cochleates with a nanosize range, with the objective to allow naprosyn or naproxen for headaches oral delivery, particle size is process dependent when a small nanosized particle is desired, the hydrogel method can be used, based on the use of an aqueousaqueous emulsion system briefly, this method consists of steps the preparation of small size liposomes either by high ph method, or by film method, then the liposomes are mixed with a high viscosity polymer such as dextran the dextranliposome phase is then injected into a second, non miscible, polymer ie naprosyn or naproxen for headaches peg the calcium was then added and diffused slowly from one phase to another, resulting in the formation of nanocochleates the final step is the washing of the gel these nanosized cochleates showed potential in the oral delivery of drugs electron microscopy and xray crystallography of the nanoparticles show a naprosyn or naproxen for headaches unique multilayered structure consisting of continuous, solid lipid bilayer sheets, rolled up in a spiral with no internal aqueous space and the localization of amb naprosyn or naproxen for headaches in the lipid bilayer other preparation techniques are known, eg the trapping method, useful for the encapsulation of hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules which consist in the naprosyn or naproxen for headaches preparation of the liposomal suspension containing the drug either in the aqueous space of liposome when hydrophilic or intercalated in between the bilayers when hydrophobic a step of addition of calcium follows, and an aggregate of cochleates are formed the cochleates made by the trapping method present higher aggregation compared naprosyn or naproxen for headaches with other methods this has been demonstrated using electron microscopy after freezefracture another method was developed for hydrophobic drugs, known as the solvent drip method which consists of preparing a liposomal suspension separately based on soy ps and a hydrophobic or amphipathic cargo moiety solution solvent for hydrophobic drug can be selected from dmso, dmf the solution is then added to liposomal suspension since the solvent is miscible in water, a decrease of the solubility of the cargo moiety is observed, which associates at least in part with the lipidhydrophobic liposomal bilayers the cochleates are then obtained by addition of calcium and the excess solvent is being washed usually, the cochleate formation can be characterized by optical microscopy when they are present in needle form in naprosyn or naproxen for headaches the micrometer size range in this case, direct observation using a higher magnification can be used when nanocochleate are obtained, optical microscope can be used naprosyn or naproxen for headaches as an indirect method to assess the formation of cochleate, ie observation of the liposome formation after chelation of the calcium present, by addition of edta ethylene diamine tetraacetate to nanocochleate a more sophisticated method is the electron microscopy after freeze fracture, which allows the observation of the tighted packed bilayers recently, other methods were described using laurdan dodecanoyldimethylamino naphtalene to monitor the cochleate phase formation in this case, the lipid vesicles are labeled with laurdan naprosyn or naproxen for headaches and the addition of calcium to the laurdan labeled vesicles resulted in a shift in the emission peak maximum of laurdan due to dipolar relaxation, naprosyn or naproxen for headaches excitation and emission, generalized polarization gpex and gpem indicates the transition from a lc to a rigid and dehydrated cochleate phase cochleates as oral delivery system for antifungal agent, amphotericin � among the drug of choice using nanocochleate delivery system, amphotericin � amb presented all aspects of a good candidate amphotericin naprosyn or naproxen for headaches � is a hydrophobic drug with poor oral bioavailability this drug had been used for decades in injectable form to treat systemic fungal infections of naprosyn or naproxen for headaches candida, cryptococcus and aspergillosis species lipid formulations of amphotericin � such as liposomes, lipid complexes, lipid emulsions and colloidal dispersions, were developed with the aim naprosyn or naproxen for headaches to achieve a higher therapeutic index, these formulations indeed showed enhanced therapeutic index, even though none of these formulations showed ability to deliver amb orally cocheate technology seems to offer the advantage over other delivery systems in providing the possibility for the oral delivery of amb oral administration of amphotericin � naprosyn or naproxen for headaches cochleates camb to healthy mice achieved potentially therapeutic concentrations in key target tissues preclinical studies demonstrate a promising activity of camb in murine models of naprosyn or naproxen for headaches clinically relevant invasive fungal infections such as disseminated candidiasis, disseminated aspergillosis, and central nervous system cryptococcosis in candidiasis animal model in candida albicans infected murine animal model, amb cochleates showed potential either after intraperitoneal ip or oral po administration after ip administration camb provided protection against c albicans at doses as low as mgkgday, kidney tissues burden showed that camb was more potent than fungizone� at mgkgday and was equivalent to ambisome� at mgkgday fig naprosyn or naproxen for headaches camb was also effective after oral administration complete eradication of c albicans from the lungs was noticed after po administration at mgkgday these results were comparable naprosyn or naproxen for headaches to ip fungizone� at mgkgday in aspergillosis animal model oral administration of camb was shown to be protective in a dose dependent manner against systemic naprosyn or naproxen for headaches infection of aspergillus fumigatus in animals immunosusppressed with cyclophosphamide, in this mouse model, intragastric administration of camb at mgkgday for days resulted
