Buckysomes: New Nanocarriers for Anticancer Drugs
Buckysomes, liposome-like vesicles comprised of dendritic C60 subunits that self-assemble into unilamellar vesicles, are unique nanovectors that have utility in drug delivery. We have prepared paclitaxel-embedded buckysomes (PEBs) and examined biodistriubition profiles with commercially available formulations of the drug. As compared to Abraxane, an albumin-bound formulation of paclitaxel, PEBs...
متن کاملPharmaceutical applications of dendrimers: promising nanocarriers for drug delivery.
Dendrimers are new artificial macromolecules which have the structure like a tree. They are hyperbranched and monodisperse three-dimensional molecules with defined molecular weights, large numbers of functional groups on the surface and well-established host-guest entrapment properties. Recently, dendrimers have successfully proved themselves as promising nanocarriers for drug delivery because ...
متن کاملMangiferin: a promising anticancer bioactive.
Of late, several biologically active antioxidants from natural products have been investigated by the researchers in order to combat the root cause of carcinogenesis, in other words, oxidative stress. Mangiferin, a therapeutically active C-glucosylated xanthone, is extracted from pulp, peel, seed, bark and leaf of Mangifera indica. These polyphenols of mangiferin exhibit antioxidant properties ...
متن کاملTargeted Delivery of Protein Drugs by Nanocarriers
Recent advances in biotechnology demonstrate that peptides and proteins are the basis of a new generation of drugs. However, the transportation of protein drugs in the body is limited by their high molecular weight, which prevents the crossing of tissue barriers, and by their short lifetime due to immuno response and enzymatic degradation. Moreover, the ability to selectively deliver drugs to t...
متن کاملTargeted Brain Delivery of Bioactive Molecules Using Nanocarriers
The brain is the center of the nervous system and an integral part of the body acting as a major regulating and conveying organ to maintain the body’s homeostasis in response to changes in both the external and internal surroundings. Brain consists of approximately 100 billion neurons and 1 trillion glial cells [1]. The connection between two neurons is known as synapse, which are responsible f...
