Thiolated chitosan nanoparticles enhance anti-inflammatory effects of intranasally delivered theophylline
BACKGROUND Chitosan, a polymer derived from chitin, has been used for nasal drug delivery because of its biocompatibility, biodegradability and bioadhesiveness. Theophylline is a drug that reduces the inflammatory effects of allergic asthma but is difficult to administer at an appropriate dosage without causing adverse side effects. It was hypothesized that adsorption of theophylline to chitosa...
متن کاملDevelopment and Characterisation of Zolmitriptan Thiolated Chitosan Nanoparticles
The present study was aimed to develop thiolated chitosan nanoparticles of Zolmitriptan for brain targeting in migraine via intranasal drug delivery. The thiolated chitosan was prepared using thiogycolic acid and chitosan in presence of catalyst and characterized using FTIR and DSC studies. Drug loaded nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation method using Sodium tripolyphosphate. The prepa...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory effects of theophylline and selective phosphodiesterase inhibitors.
Theophylline has been used in the treatment of airway diseases, for more than 50 years with benefit thought to be derived from its ability to elicit bronchodilatation. Recent evidence has, however, suggested that theophylline possesses anti-inflammatory activity. The molecular mechanism of action remains unclear, although inhibition of the phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzyme, an enzyme which catalyz...
متن کاملChitosan-DNA nanoparticles delivered by intrabiliary infusion enhance liver-targeted gene delivery
The goal of this study was to examine the efficacy of liver-targeted gene delivery by chitosan-DNA nanoparticles through retrograde intrabiliary infusion (RII). The transfection efficiency of chitosan-DNA nanoparticles, as compared with PEI-DNA nanoparticles or naked DNA, was evaluated in Wistar rats by infusion into the common bile duct, portal vein, or tail vein. Chitosan-DNA nanoparticles ad...
متن کاملThiolated chitosan-modified PLA-PCL-TPGS nanoparticles for oral chemotherapy of lung cancer
Oral chemotherapy is a key step towards 'chemotherapy at home', a dream of cancer patients, which will radically change the clinical practice of chemotherapy and greatly improve the quality of life of the patients. In this research, three types of nanoparticle formulation from commercial PCL and self-synthesized d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (PLA-PCL-TPGS) random copolymer w...
