Use of Modified Ethylcellulose Lattices for Microporous Coating of Osmotic Tablets Tập 8 Số 5 - Trang 600-604 - 1991
Appel, Leah E., Zentner, Gaylen M.
Commercially available lattices are often used to coat nonpareils or beads. Drug release occurs via diffusion through the polymer coating. Adequate release rates may be achieved with small particles because the surface area is large. However, tablets coated with unmodified lattices have exceedingly slow release rates. Therefore, a pore-forming agent, urea, was added to a commercially available eth...... hiện toàn bộ
Assay for Hydralazine as Its Stable p-Nitrobenzaldehyde Hydrazone Tập 5 Số 6 - Trang 383-386 - 1988
Semple, Hugh A., Tam, Yun K., Tin, Sarah, Courts, Ronald T.
A new method of analysis for the antihypertensive drug, hydralazine, is introduced. The assay involves the addition of p-nitrobenzaldehyde to blood samples containing hydralazine, to form a stable Schiff's base, hydralazine p-nitrobenzaldehyde hydrazone. The derivative is extracted from the blood into hexane and the samples are dried under a nitrogen stream. The extracts are then dissolved in mobi...... hiện toàn bộ
The Stability of Insulin in Crystalline and Amorphous Solids: Observation of Greater Stability for the Amorphous Form Tập 14 Số 10 - Trang 1379-1387 - 1997
Pikal, Michael J., Rigsbee, Daniel R.
Purpose. Generalizations based upon behavior of small molecules have established that a crystalline solid is generally much more stable toward chemical degradation than is the amorphous solid. This study examines the validity of this generalization for proteins using biosynthetic human insulin as the model protein. Methods. Amorphous insulin was prepared by freeze drying the supernate from a suspe...... hiện toàn bộ
In Vivo and in Vitro Assessment of Baseline Blood-Brain Barrier Parameters in the Presence of Novel Nanoparticles Tập 20 Số 5 - Trang 705-713 - 2003
Lockman, Paul R., Koziara, Joanna, Roder, Karen E., Paulson, Jennifer, Abbruscato, Thomas J., Mumper, Russell J., Allen, David D.
Purpose. Nanoparticles have advantage as CNS drug delivery vehicles given they disguise drug permeation limiting characteristics. Conflicting toxicological data, however, is published with regard to blood-brain barrier integrity and gross mortality. Methods. To address this issue two novel nanoparticle types: “emulsifying wax/Brij 78”and Brij 72/Tween 80 nanoparticles were evaluated in vivo for ef...... hiện toàn bộ
Antisense c-myc Oligodeoxyribonucleotide Cellular Uptake Tập 9 Số 8 - Trang 1010-1017 - 1992
Wu-Pong, Susanna, Weiss, Tania L., Hunt, C. Anthony
Antisense oligonucleotides have therapeutic potential as inhibitors of gene expression. However, the mechanism by which an intact oligonucleotide reaches the intracellular site of action is unknown. In this study, we use an Oligodeoxyribonucleotide 21-mer complementary to the translation initiation codon of the c-myc proto-oncogene to study the mechanism of oligonucleotide uptake and internalizati...... hiện toàn bộ
Cationic Polymer Based Gene Delivery Systems Tập 17 Số 2 - Trang 113-126 - 2000
De Smedt, Stefaan C., Demeester, Joseph, Hennink, Wim E.
Gene transfer to humans requires carriers for the plasmid DNA which canefficiently and safely carrythe gene into the nucleus of the desired cells. A series of chemically differentcationic polymers arecurrently being investigated for these purposes. Although many cationic polymersindeed condense DNAspontaneously, which is a requirement for gene transfer in most types of cells,the physicochemical an...... hiện toàn bộ
Immunostimulating Polysaccharides from Panax notoginseng Tập 13 Số 8 - Trang 1196-1200 - 1996
Gao, Hua, Wang, Fengzhen, Lien, Eric J., Trousdale, Melvin D.
Purpose. The main purpose of this study is to prepare and characterize polysaccharides from Panax notoginseng, investigate their effects on immune system in vitro in order to find new immunostimulants for the prevention and supporting treatment of infection and immunodeficiency related diseases. Methods. Polysaccharides were extracted with aqueous solution, separated with column chromatography. Th...... hiện toàn bộ
