The electrochemical oxidation of a hemorheologic drug, pentoxifylline was investigated at a multi-walled carbon nanotubes-paraffin oil paste electrode using cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry. The oxidation process was irreversible over the pH range studied and exhibited an adsorption-controlled behavior. All

Multiple water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions are of major interest as potential skin delivery systems for water-soluble drugs like oligonucleotides due to their distinct encapsulation properties. However, multiple emulsions are highly sensitive in terms of variations of the individual components. The presence
