Films containing SA or HPMC and PEG 200 or glycerol were prepared by a solvent casting technique. Process optimisation was performed to establish the best experimental parameters for preparing the films. Physical appearance, ease of removal, tensile properties (tensile strength, % strain at break) and plasticiser leaching were investigated. These criteria formed the basis for further development formulations comprising optimum ratios of SA/HPMC and PEG 200/glycerol. The optimum polymer-plasticiser combinations were then selected for further characterisation of tensile, hydration, adhesive properties by texture analysis and surface morphology by scanning electron microscopy. The results showed the potential of developing both fast and controlled release mucosal formulations by a combination of the two polymers.","PeriodicalId":91506,"journal":{"name":"International journal of biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJBT.2010.036594","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66713494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present the benefits of model-driven engineering (MDE) concepts in ensuring the interconnection of different business contexts specifications by providing a linked structure of models. This enables to generate bridges that connect implementations in different platforms. In this way, the systems interoperability can be satisfied throughout product lifecycle. The MDA approach is widely considered as a methodology for software generation from models, with a focus on enterprise and business models. Deploying a MDA approach in the supply chain context of vaccine industry allows us to deal with product data quality. In fact, it helps to translate some business models at a computer independent model through the MDA framework to generate a newly data model as well as some business rules and recommendations helping to communicate models. A deployment of the proposed approach is presented through some application cases studies.","PeriodicalId":91506,"journal":{"name":"International journal of biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJBT.2010.036598","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66713618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The optimisation of concentration of an emulsifier that produces the most stable emulsion has been a very tedious task if done experimentally. Several responses relating to the effectiveness, usefulness, stability as well as safety must be optimised simultaneously. Hence, expertise and experience are required to design an acceptable emulsion for use in pharmaceuticals and also as cosmetics. A response surface method (RSM) has widely been used for selecting acceptable emulsions. However, prediction of pharmaceutical responses based on the second-order polynomial equation commonly used in a RSM, is often limited to low levels, resulting in poor estimations of optimal emulsions. The purpose of this study was to describe the basic concept of the multi-objective simultaneous optimisation technique, in which an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, ANFIS is incorporated and simultaneously used in identifying the optimum concentration of a fatty alcohol, for formulating a stable O/W emulsion.","PeriodicalId":91506,"journal":{"name":"International journal of biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJBT.2010.036597","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66713573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
