Substrate Mediated Enzyme Prodrug Therapy
In this report, we detail Substrate Mediated Enzyme Prodrug Therapy (SMEPT) as a novel approach in drug delivery which relies on enzyme-functionalized cell culture substrates to achieve a localized conversion of benign prodrug(s) into active therapeutics with subsequent delivery to adhering cells or adjacent tissues. For proof-of-concept SMEPT, we use surface adhered micro-structured physical h...

متن کاملActivation of oxazaphosphorines by cytochrome P450: application to gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy for cancer.
Cancer chemotherapeutic prodrugs, such as the oxazaphosphorines cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide, are metabolized by liver cytochrome P450 enzymes to yield therapeutically active, cytotoxic metabolites. The effective use of these prodrugs is limited by host toxicity associated with the systemic distribution of cytotoxic metabolites formed in the liver. This problem can, in part, be circumvented ...
متن کاملSupporting Simulations to Guide Engineering Design
Although computer-aided engineering (CAE) technologies are a critical component to the engineering design process, their effective integration into design processes continues to be awkward. This has been particularly true of more advanced simulation technologies such as finite element analysis. Developments over the past decade on technologies like the automatic generation of finite element mes...
متن کاملLEAPT: lectin-directed enzyme-activated prodrug therapy.
Targeted drug delivery to selected sites allows reduced toxicity, enhanced efficiency and interchangeable target potential [Langer, R. (2001) Science 293, 58-59 and Molema, G. & Meijer, D. K. F., eds. (2001) Drug Targeting (Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, Germany)]. We describe a bipartite drug-delivery system that exploits (I) endogenous carbohydrate-to-lectin binding to localize glycosylated enzyme conj...
