Polymeric Microparticles as Alternative Carriers for Antidiabetic Glibenclamide Drug
Background: Glibenclamide is a lipophilic drug widely used in type 2 diabetes treatment. However, its low bioavailability limits its use. Thus, novel formulations should be applied to improve the drug’s bioavailability. Objectives: This study aimed to develop alternative carriers for oral delivery of glibenclamide. For this purpose, two biocompatible polymers, poly(e-caprolactone) and poly(but...
متن کاملPreparation, characterization, in vivo pharmacokinetics, and biodistribution of polymeric micellar dimethoxycurcumin for tumor targeting
Dimethoxycurcumin (DMC) is an analog of curcumin with superior efficacy in various disease models. Currently, drug delivery system research on DMC is very limited, and it has become a huge challenge to realize further developments and clinical applications. In the present study, a kind of amphiphilic block copolymer, N-t-butoxycarbonyl-phenylalanine terminated monomethoxyl poly (ethylene glycol...
متن کاملSmart polymeric carriers for enhanced intracellular delivery of therapeutic macromolecules.
Limited cytoplasmic delivery of enzyme-susceptible drugs remains a significant challenge facing the development of protein and nucleic acid therapies that act in intracellular compartments. Researchers have examined several approaches, including fusogenic proteins and protein transduction domains, to enhance the intracellular delivery of the therapeutic cargo. This review summarises efforts to ...
متن کاملExploring Polymeric Micelles for Improved Delivery of Anticancer Agents: Recent Developments in Preclinical Studies
As versatile drug delivery systems, polymeric micelles have demonstrated particular strength in solubilizing hydrophobic anticancer drugs while eliminating the use of toxic organic solvents and surfactants. However, the true promise of polymeric micelles as drug carriers for cancer therapy resides in their potential ability to preferentially elevate drug exposure in the tumor and achieve enhanc...
متن کاملAdvanced Drug Carriers Targeting Bone Marrow
The progression of nanotechnology has produced engineered fine nanoparticles for use in biomedical applications. Drug delivery systems are in a particularly promising field for the use of the unique properties of nanoparticles in biomedical applications. The pharmacokinetics of nanoparticles differs considerably from that of small drug molecules. Therefore, a drug delivery system based on nanop...
