Novel delivery system for natural products: Nano-curcumin formulations
Objective: Curcumin is extracted from Curcuma longa and regulates the intracellular signal pathways which control the growth of cancerous cell, inflammation, invasion and apoptosis. Curcumin molecules have special intrinsic features that can target the intracellular enzymes, genome (DNA) and messengers (RNA). A wide range of studies have been conducted on the physicochemical traits and pharmaco...

متن کاملImage guided focused ultrasound delivery of macromolecular drugs in tumours
Background/introduction Drug delivery using focused ultrasound (focal drug delivery) has attracted significant interest during the last few years. Focused Ultrasound (FUS) can induce local tissue hyperthermia, increasing blood flow and vascular permeability, which then enhances the uptake of therapeutics by target tissues. Although a number of studies have focused on nanoparticles (e.g. thermos...
متن کاملSmart polymers for responsive drug-delivery systems.
The rapid advancement of biomedical research has led to many creative applications for biocompatible polymers. As modern medicine discerns more mechanisms, both of physiology and of pathophysiology, the approach to healing is to mimic, or if possible, to recreate the physiology of healthy functioning. Thus, the area of smart polymers for responsive drug delivery has evolved. The developments fa...
متن کاملUltrasound and pH Dually Responsive Polymer Vesicles for Anticancer Drug Delivery
Recently, smart polymer vesicles have attracted increasing interest due to their endless potential applications such as tunable delivery vehicles for the treatment of degenerative diseases. However, the evolution of stimuli-responsive vesicles from bench to bedside still seems far away for the limitations of current stimuli forms such as temperature, light, redox, etc. Since ultrasound combined...
