In Vitro Evaluation of Polymerized Liposomes as an Oral Drug Delivery SystemPharmaceutical Research - Tập 12 Số 4 - Trang 576-582 - 1995
Okada, Jun'ichi, Cohen, Smadar, Langer, Robert
The physical characteristics of polymerized liposomes for potential use as an
oral drug delivery system were examined in vitro. The trap efficiency in
monomeric liposomes composed of 1,2-di (2,4-octadecadienoyl) phosphatidylcholine
was increased from 3% for original multilamellar vesicles to 35% for freeze-thaw
treated liposomes. Polymerized liposomes with azobis (isobutyronitrile) and
azobis (2-a... hiện toàn bộ
Photo-Oxidation Mechanisms in Liquid Pharmaceutical Formulations: The Overlooked Role of Singlet Oxygen Presented as a Case StudyPharmaceutical Research - - 2022
Brunell, Margaret, Tignor, Steven, Pierson, Elizabeth, Walsh, Paul L.
Oxidation is one of the most common degradation pathways for active
pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in pharmaceutical formulations, mostly
involving 1-electron processes via peroxy radicals and 2-electron processes by
peroxides. In liquid pharmaceutical formulations, several factors can impact
oxidative instabilities including pH, excipient impurities, headspace oxygen,
and the potential for pho... hiện toàn bộ
Kinetics of Drug Decomposition by Heat Conduction CalorimetryPharmaceutical Research - Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 20-27 - 1989
Hansen, Lee D., Lewis, Edwin A., Eatough, Delbert J., Bergstrom, Robert G., DeGraft-Johnson, Damans
The application of heat conduction calorimetry to the determination of
decomposition mechanisms and rates for drugs is shown to be a rapid and
generally useful method. The application of the method to determine the nature
of the decomposition reaction, sources of systematic errors in the method, the
equations relating the calorimetric signal to the kinetics of the reaction, and
some examples of re... hiện toàn bộ
Water-Soluble and Low Molecular Weight Chitosan-Based Plasmid DNA DeliveryPharmaceutical Research - Tập 18 Số 4 - Trang 427-431 - 2001
Lee, Minhyung, Nah, Jae-Woon, Kwon, Youngmin, Koh, Jae Joon, Ko, Kyung Soo, Kim, Sung Wan
Purpose. Chitosan, a natural cationic polysaccharide, is a candidate non-viral
vector for gene delivery because of its high positive charges and low
cytotoxicity. In this study, low molecular weight chitosan (LMWC, molecular
weight of 22 kDa) was characterized and evaluated as a gene carrier. Methods.
Plasmid/LMWC complex was analyzed in 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. To confirm
that the LMWC pro... hiện toàn bộ
Evidence for Overlapping Substrate Specificity Between Large Neutral Amino Acid (LNAA) and Dipeptide (hPEPTl) Transporters for PD 158473, an NMDA AntagonistPharmaceutical Research - Tập 16 Số 3 - Trang 391-395 - 1999
Surendran, Narayanan, Covitz, Kuang-Ming Y., Han, Hyo-kyung, Sadee, Wolfgang, Oh, Doo-Man, Amidon, Gordon L., Williamson, Rufus M., Bigge, Christopher F., Stewart, Barbra H.
Purpose. The objective of this research was to investigate the substrate
specificity of large neutral amino acid carrier (LNAA) and di/tripeptide
(hPEPTl) transporters with respect to PD 158473, an NMDA antagonist. Methods.
Cellular uptake studies were carried out using two types of Chinese Hamster
Ovary (CHO). CHO-K1 cells represent the wild type with inherent large neutral
amino acid (LNAA) acti... hiện toàn bộ
5′-Amino Acid Esters of Antiviral Nucleosides, Acyclovir, and AZT Are Absorbed by the Intestinal PEPT1 Peptide TransporterPharmaceutical Research - Tập 15 Số 8 - Trang 1154-1159 - 1998
Han, Hyo-kyung, de Vrueh, Remco L. A., Rhie, Julie K., Covitz, Kuang-Ming Y., Smith, Philip L., Lee, Chao-Pin, Oh, Doo-Man, Sadee, Wolfgang, Amidon1, Gordon L.
Purpose. General use of nucleoside analogues in the treatment of viral
infections and cancer is often limited by poor oral absorption. Valacyclovir, a
water soluble amino acid ester prodrug of acyclovir has been reported to
increase the oral bioavailability of acyclovir but its absorption mechanism is
unknown. This study characterized the intestinal absorption mechanism of
5′-amino acid ester prod... hiện toàn bộ
Direct Evidence That Polysorbate-80-Coated Poly(Butylcyanoacrylate) Nanoparticles Deliver Drugs to the CNS via Specific Mechanisms Requiring Prior Binding of Drug to the NanoparticlesPharmaceutical Research - Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 409-416 - 2003
Kreuter, Jörg, Ramge, Peter, Petrov, Valery, Hamm, Stefan, Gelperina, Svetlana E., Engelhardt, Britta, Alyautdin, Renad, von Briesen, Hagen, Begley, David J.
Purpose. It has recently been suggested that the poly(butylcyanoacrylate) (PBCA)
nanoparticle drug delivery system has a generalized toxic effect on the
blood-brain barrier (BBB) (8) and that this effect forms the basis of an
apparent enhanced drug delivery to the brain. The purpose of this study is to
explore more fully the mechanism by which PBCA nanoparticles can deliver drugs
to the brain. Met... hiện toàn bộ
Development of a Remote Electrode System for Monitoring the Water Content of Materials Inside a Glass VialPharmaceutical Research - Tập 19 Số 3 - Trang 337-344 - 2002
Suherman, Phe Man, Taylor, Peter M., Smith, Geoff
Purpose: This article explores the use of a remote electrode dielectric
measurement system to monitor the water content of hydrated ovalbumin inside a
glass vial. Methods: The intrinsic dielectric properties of hydrated ovalbumin
were characterized first using conventional parallel plate electrodes. The
second stage was to simulate a remote electrode measurement by placing
nonconductive, nondisper... hiện toàn bộ
