An in-vitro investigation of mucosa-adhesive materials for use in controlled drug delivery

Smart, J D, Kellaway, I W, Worthington, H E C·1984·Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology

Abstract

An in-vitro test system was developed to investigate the adhesiveness of various materials to mucus. The results obtained showed good agreement with the findings of previous in-vivo evaluations of mucosa-adhesives. Further investigations found that these materials become adhesive on hydration. Chain length, and the presence of ionizable groups in the molecule, were found to be determinate factors. The physical nature of the gel, and the location at which the mucoadhesive materials hydrated, were of less importance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
