Biodegradable polymeric prodrugs of naltrexone
The development of a biodegradable polymeric drug delivery system for the narcotic antagonist naltrexone may improve patient compliance in the treatment of opiate addiction. Random copolymers consisting of the a-amino acids N 5( 3-hydroxypropyl)-L-glutamine and L-leucine were synthesized with equimolar initial monomer feeds. The molecular weight of this chemical carrier was determined by viscom...
متن کاملPolymeric photosensitizer prodrugs for photodynamic therapy.
A targeting strategy based on the selective enzyme-mediated activation of polymeric photosensitizer prodrugs (PPP) within pathological tissue has led to the development of agents with the dual ability to detect and treat cancer. Herein, a detailed study of a simple model system for these prodrugs is described. We prepared "first-generation" PPP by directly tethering the photosensitizer (PS) phe...
متن کاملPolymeric Prodrugs: Recent Achievements and General Strategies
Improving the therapeutic index of drugs is a major impetus for innovation in many therapeutic areas. Conventional drug delivery systems (tablets, capsules, pills, suppositories, creams, ointments, liquids, aerosols and injectables, as drug carriers) involving a number of non-specific administrations of a drug may have contraindications such as variable drug concentrations and excessive drug pr...
متن کاملFormulation and Characterization of Pyrazinamide Polymeric Nanoparticles for Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Efficiency for Alveolar Macrophage Targeting
Pyrazinamide, a highly specific agent against Mycobacterium tuberculosis is used as first-line drug to treat tuberculosis. The current work aims to formulate polymeric nanoparticles based drug delivery system to sustain the release profile and reduce the dosing frequency of pyrazinamide. Further aim was to target the macrophages within body fluid. These polymeric nanoparticles were prepared by ...
متن کاملDual-Function Polymeric HPMA Prodrugs for the Delivery of miRNA
An HPMA-based polymeric prodrug of a CXCR4 antagonist, AMD3465 (P-SS-AMD), was developed as a dual-function carrier of therapeutic miRNA. P-SS-AMD was synthesized by a copolymerization of HPMA with a methacrylamide monomer in which the AMD3465 was attached via a self-immolative disulfide linker. P-SS-AMD showed effective release of the parent AMD3465 drug following treatment with intracellular ...
