Dendrimer: a Complete Drug Carrier
Dendrimers are a new class of polymeric materials. They are highly branched, monodisperse macromolecules. Structural Advantages allow dendrimers to play an important role in the fields of nanotechnology, pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry. As a result of their unique behaviour dendrimers are suitable for a wide range of biomedical and industrial applications. The paper gives a brief review ...
متن کاملPolyketal nanoparticles: a new pH-sensitive biodegradable drug delivery vehicle.
In this report, we present an acid-sensitive drug delivery vehicle, termed polyketal nanoparticles, which are designed to target therapeutics to the acidic environments of tumors, inflammatory tissues, and phagosomes. The polyketal nanoparticles are formulated from poly(1,4-phenyleneacetone dimethylene ketal) (PPADK), a new hydrophobic polymer which contains ketal linkages in its backbone. The ...
متن کاملRecovery and redispersion of gold nanoparticles using the self-assembly of a pH sensitive zwitterionic amphiphile.
The pH-responsive self-assembly of zwitterionic amphiphile C16CA was expanded to the recovery of gold (Au) nanoparticles for environmentally friendly chemistry applications. Multilayered lamellae at pH ∼ 4 were successfully incorporated into nanoparticles by dispersion. Redispersion of nanoparticles was achieved under basic conditions by the transition of self-assembly.
متن کاملDual role of nanoparticles as drug carrier and drug
The conventional chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of human malignancies are directed nonspecifically against both malignant and nonmalignant cells, often limiting their efficacy with having serious side effects. Recent development of drug delivery vehicles has opened up the possibility of targeted drug delivery systems with the potential of achieving maximum efficacy with minimal t...
متن کاملpH-Sensitive Core-Shell Nanoparticles for Intracellular Drug Delivery
Therapeutics such as proteins, DNA, or siRNA, can only exert their function in the cell cytosol or nucleus. However, most of them are cell membrane impermeable molecules that can only be taken up by cells via endocytosis or phagocytosis. Such drug molecules are thus confined in endolysosomes, where reduced pH and degradative enzymes may destroy them without therapeutic gain. Efficient escape of...
