2. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES A great number of drugs available on the market contain an active ingredient that is poorly soluble in water and has a low dissolution rate. Various approaches to improve these properties exist. One of the most common approaches is the production of a solid dispersion (SD), whereas the use of porous carriers, such as calcium carbonate, also proved to be potential. Since naproxen is a substance with good permeability and low solubility (Class II according to BCS), dissolution

Rheumatoid Arthritis is an inflammatory disease, affecting synovial joints, lined with synovium, its treatment includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and disease modifying anti rheumatic drugs like chloroquine. In this study several dilutions of Ibuprofenand Chloroquine were evaluated for their mutagenicity and cytotoxicity alone and in combination by using Ames Salmonella/microsome assay and MTT [(3-(4, 5 dimethylthiazole –2 yl)-2, 5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide)] assay using

modification to a developing fetus in ways such as the altering of growth and the structure and functions of developing organs. (Cunningham, MacDonald, & Gant, 1993). Whilst there are many teratogens known to medical professionals, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAID’s have recently been the focus of medical research as they could cover a broad range of these teratogens. When ingested, NSAID’s transfer through the placenta and have the ability to cause permanent damage to the fetus. (Antonucci

suitable drug for treating AD. Antipsychotics Neuroleptics are the typical antipsychotics used for treating AD and other disorders. Neuroleptics work by blocking dopamine receptors found in the mesolimbic stratal mesocortical systems of the brain. In a controlled study, 59% of patients on neuroleptics and 41% of those taking the placebo saw a decrease in mental distress. This suggests that there was a minor improvement in the patients quality of life, due to treatment with these drugs. (Juillerat

Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the incurable diseases and turns chronic with progressive inflammatory of the synovial lining of peripheral joins. It is characterized by symmetric, chronic, and deforming polyatrhitis that causes long term joint disability when not controlled early. Considering there is no cure for this disease, management focuses on pain and inflammation reduction in order to prevent destruction of joints while at the same time preserving and improving on the functionality of the
