A theoretical study of surfactant and liquid delivery into the lung.
A computational study is presented for the transport of liquids and insoluble surfactant through the lung airways, delivered from a source at the distal end of the trachea. Four distinct transport regimes are considered: 1) the instilled bolus may create a liquid plug that occludes the large airways but is forced peripherally during mechanical ventilation; 2) the bolus creates a deposited film ...

متن کاملTargeted Drug Delivery Systems for Lung Cancer
In the present scenario, lung cancer is one of the most prevalent and malignant cancer especially among the smoking group of people. The targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to the lungs represents a novel therapeutic approach in lung cancer. Lung is an ideal route for administration of anticancer drug as it provides larger alveolar surface area, low thickness of epithelial barrier & ex...
متن کاملTargeted delivery of nanoparticles for the treatment of lung diseases.
Targeted delivery of drug molecules to organs or special sites is one of the most challenging research areas in pharmaceutical sciences. By developing colloidal delivery systems such as liposomes, micelles and nanoparticles a new frontier was opened for improving drug delivery. Nanoparticles with their special characteristics such as small particle size, large surface area and the capability of...
متن کاملDe-Esterified Tragacanth Microspheres Loaded into Eudragit S-100 Coated Capsules for Colon-Targeted Delivery
The objective of this study was to develop a novel bacterially-triggered micro-particular system of de-esterified tragacanth (DET) in combination with Eudragit S-100 coated capsules for colon drug delivery of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) using microemulsion method. The loading study was conducted at different drug-to-polymer ratios and cross-linker concentrations. The maximum loading efficiency was ac...
