Micelles are aggregates of surfactant molecules used to increase the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble pharmaceutical compounds. Past studies have suggested that a micelle is an oil droplet surrounded by a ...

Resveratrol (RES) is a polyphenolic compound with potential for chemopreventative and chemotherapeutic uses. However, exploration has been hindered by its short biologic half-life of ~6 minutes. Using polymeric micelles ...

Resveratrol (RES), a polyphenol has shown various biological activities but its use is hindered due to its hydrophobicity and short biological half-life. Biological studies require mega or frequent doses of RES to be ...

Purpose: To study the effect of changing structure of benzyl esters on its reactivity in sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles. Methods: Ester molecules with benzyl moiety were either purchased or synthesized. Alkyl groups of ...

Carbamazepine (CZ) is a hydrophobic antiepileptic drug with a very low water solubility. It is important to identify means of improving the solubility of such drugs for better formulation and absorption. One approach to ...
