Intravitreal injections of GDNF-loaded biodegradable microspheres are neuroprotective in a rat model of glaucoma.
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal injection of GDNF-loaded biodegradable microspheres in promoting the survival of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons in a rat model of chronically elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). METHODS Chronic elevation of IOP was induced in Brown Norway rats through injection of hypertonic saline (1.9 M) into the episcleral veins. After inject...
متن کاملSustained Release of VEGF from Gadolinium Doped Biodegradable Microspheres
Biodegradable microspheres are effective devices for controlled drug release, and it is desireable to be able to monitor their distribution in vivo in order to optimize delivery methods. Biodegradable microspheres coencapsulating Gd-DTPA and human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were made from poly(1actic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). The release of VEGF from the spheres was measured and ...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of Estradiol Valerate Microspheres Using Biodegradable Polymers
In this study, microspheres containing estradiol valerate were prepared by solvent evaporation method using poly (glycolide-co-lactide) (PLGA 50:50) and poly (lactide). The effect of different process variables such as polymer type, drugpolymer ratio, stirring rate, volume of internal phase and temperature of external phase on the morphology, particle size distribution, encapsulation effic...
متن کاملBiodegradable Chitosan-Based Ambroxol Hydrochloride Microspheres: Effect of Cross-Linking Agents
The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of type of cross-linking method used on the properties of ambroxol hydrochloride microspheres such as encapsulation efficiency, particle size, and drug release. Microspheres were prepared by solvent evaporation technique using chitosan as a matrix-forming agent and cross-linked using formaldehyde and heat treatment. Morphological and ...
متن کاملCarboxyfullerenes as neuroprotective agents.
Two regioisomers with C3 or D3 symmetry of water-soluble carboxylic acid C60 derivatives, containing three malonic acid groups per molecule, were synthesized and found to be equipotent free radical scavengers in solution as assessed by EPR analysis. Both compounds also inhibited the excitotoxic death of cultured cortical neurons induced by exposure to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), alpha-amino-3-...
