Formulation of polyphthalaldehyde microcapsules for immediate UV-light triggered release

Biointerfacing polymeric microcapsules for in vivo near-infrared light-triggered drug release.

Seeking safe and effective water-soluble drug carriers is of great significance in nanomedicine. To achieve this goal, we present a novel drug delivery system based on biointerfacing hollow polymeric microcapsules for effectively encapsulating water-soluble antitumor drug and gold nanorod (GNR) functionalization for triggered release of therapeutic drugs on-demand using low power near-infrared ...

Biodegradable polymeric microcapsules for selective ultrasound-triggered drug release

Liposomal formulation of retinoids designed for enzyme triggered release.

The design of retinoid phospholipid prodrugs is described based on molecular dynamics simulations and cytotoxicity studies of synthetic retinoid esters. The prodrugs are degradable by secretory phospholipase A(2) IIA and have potential in liposomal drug delivery targeting tumors. We have synthesized four different retinoid phospholipid prodrugs and shown that they form particles in the liposome...

Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Gliclazide from Immediate and Modified Release Formulation Tablets in Rats

The objective of the study was to compare pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of gliclazide after administration of immediate (IR) and modified release (MR) tablets. The experiment included rats with both normoglyceamia and streptozocin (STZ)-induced hyperglyceamia. Several MR formulations were designed and in vitro drug release profile was assessed by a dissolution test. For the fur...
