Durante mucho tiempo no había principios uniformes para la Atribución de nombres a los antibióticos https://antibioticos-wiki.es . Más a menudo se les llama por el nombre genérico o especie del producto, con menos frecuencia-de acuerdo con la estructura química. Algunos antibióticos se nombran de acuerdo con el lugar donde se asignó el producto.

Polydimethylsiloxane–Indomethacin Blends and Nanoparticles
Received 12 February 2013; accepted 28 May 2013
Abstract. A series of blends of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and indomethacin (IMC), containing 20–80 wt.% IMC were obtained and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform–infraredspectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction in order to observe the mutual influence of the two components. The main thermal transitions of PDMS remained un-changed. Both the solvent (tetrahydrofuran, THF) andthe PDMS influenced the crystalline form of IMC. The blends were subsequently re-dissolved in THF, with orwithout cross-linking reagents added and precipitated into diluted aqueous solutions of siloxane-based surfac-tants. The resulted nanoparticles were analyzed by dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy. Most of the particles had diameters between 200 and 300 nm. The surfactants, the IMC content and the cross-linking influenced the particles size and polydispersity, as well as the nanoparticle yield. The maximum drugrelease from selected aqueous formulations was 30%.
