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
Monitoring Microviscosity and Microacidity of the Albumin Microenvironment Inside Degrading Microparticles from Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) or ABA-triblock Polymers Containing Hydrophobic Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) A Blocks and Hydrophilic Poly(ethyleneoxide) B Blocks Tập 15 Số 5 - Trang 787-793 - 1998
Mäder, Karsten, Bittner, Beate, Li, Youxin, Wohlauf, Wilko, Kissel, Thomas
Purpose. The purpose of this study was to monitor the microenvironment of an
encapsulated model protein during the release from biodegradable microparticles
(MP) made from three different polymers, namely poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG)
and ABA-triblock polymers containing hydrophobic poly(lactide-co-glycolide) A
blocks and hydrophilic poly(ethyleneoxide) B blocks with an A:B ratio of 90:10

Use of Solid Corrugated Particles to Enhance Powder Aerosol Performance Tập 18 Số 11 - Trang 1570-1577 - 2001
Chew, Nora Y. K., Chan, Hak-Kim
Purpose. To study the dispersion performance of non-porous corrugated particles,
with a focus on the effect of particle surface morphology on aerosolization of
bovine serum albumin (BSA) powders. Methods. The solid-state characteristics of
the spray-dried BSA powders, one consisting of smooth spherical particles and
another corrugated particles, were characterized by laser diffraction, X-ray

P-Glycoprotein Inhibition Leads to Enhanced Disruptive Effects by Anti-Microtubule Cytostatics at the In Vitro Blood-Brain Barrier Tập 18 Số 5 - Trang 587-592 - 2001
van der Sandt, Inez C. J., Gaillard, Pieter J., Voorwinden, Heleen H., de Boer, Albertus G., Breimer, Douwe D.
Purpose. To investigate whether P–glycoprotein (Pgp) protects the in vitro BBB
against the cytotoxic effects of anti–tumour drugs. Methods. In an in vitro BBB
coculture model the influence of the anti–microtubule drugs vinblastine,
colchicine, paclitaxel and the non–antimicrotubule drugs doxorubicin,
fluorouracil and etoposide in the absence or presence of Pgp modulators on the
trans–endothelial e... hiện toàn bộ
Physical Entrapment of Adriamycin in AB Block Copolymer Micelles Tập 12 Số 2 - Trang 192-195 - 1995
Kwon, Glen S., Naito, Mayumi, Yokoyama, Masayuki, Okano, Teruo, Sakurai, Yasuhisa, Kataoka, Kazunori
The entrapment of Adriamycin (ADR) in micelles composed of AB block copolymers
(poly(ethylene oxide-co-β-benzyl L-aspartate) (PEO-PBLA)) was investigated. The
loading process involved transfer of ADR and PEO-PBLA into an aqueous milieu
from dimethyl-formamide (DMF) through a dialysis procedure. Evidence for the
physical entrapment of ADR in the polymeric micelles was derived from
fluorescence spec... hiện toàn bộ
Protein–Solvent Interactions in Pharmaceutical Formulations Tập 8 Số 3 - Trang 285-291 - 1991
Arakawa, Tsutomu, Kita, Yoshiko, Carpenter, John F.
The stability of proteins is affected by a variety of solvent additives. Sugars,
certain amino acids and salts, and polyhydric alcohols stabilize proteins in
solution and during freeze-thawing. Urea and guanidine hydrochloride destabilize
proteins under either condition. These effects can be explained from the
preferential interactions of the cosolvents with the proteins; i.e., the protein
stabili... hiện toàn bộ
Formulation and Physical Characterization of Large Porous Particles for Inhalation Tập 16 Số 11 - Trang 1735-1742 - 1999
Vanbever, Rita, Mintzes, Jeffrey D., Wang, Jue, Nice, Jacquelyn, Chen, Donghao, Batycky, Richard, Langer, Robert, Edwards, David A.
Purpose. Relatively large (>5 µm) and porous (mass density < 0.4 g/cm3)
particles present advantages for the delivery of drugs to the lungs, e.g.,
excellent aerosolization properties. The aim of this study was, first, to
formulate such particles with excipients that are either FDA-approved for
inhalation or endogenous to the lungs; and second, to compare the aerodynamic
size and performance of the... hiện toàn bộ
