Drug targeting by long-circulating liposomal glucocorticosteroids increases therapeutic efficacy in a model of multiple sclerosis.
High-dose glucocorticosteroid hormones are a mainstay in the treatment of relapses in multiple sclerosis. We searched for a way to deliver ultra high doses of glucocorticosteroids to the CNS of rats with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) using a novel formulation of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated long-circulating liposomes encapsulating prednisolone (predni solone liposomes, PL)...
متن کاملLong-circulating liposomes for i.v. targeted delivery of glucocorticoids in arthritis.
Glucocorticoids are highly potent anti-arthritic drugs. However, despite their efficacy a major drawback is their non-specific activity, which can result in a variety of adverse effects. We encapsulated prednisolone phosphate in PEG-liposomes aiming at enhanced local therapeutic activity at inflammatory sites and reduced systemic activity upon i.v. injection. Whole body radioscintigraphy in rat...
متن کاملLiposomal encapsulation of glucocorticoids alters their mode of action in the treatment of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used to treat acute relapses of multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study, we demonstrate that liposomal encapsulation augments the therapeutic potency of GCs as they ameliorate experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) to the same extent as free GC, but at strongly reduced dosage and application frequency. Importantly, this is accompanied by an altered mode ...
متن کاملP133: Targeting NF-Κb Signaling Pathway as Potential Therapeutic with Curcumin in Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
Curcumin is active component of turmeric and isolated from the rhizome of turmeric, a phenolic natural product. One of inflammatory disease is multiple sclerosis, a multifocal chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease of the CNS, which is also known as a perivascular demyelinating disease. Studies have been shown that neuro-inflammation can have both harmful and beneficial effects on the neuronal...
متن کاملSeparating therapeutic efficacy from glucocorticoid side-effects in rodent arthritis using novel, liposomal delivery of dexamethasone phosphate: long-term suppression of arthritis facilitates interval treatment
INTRODUCTION Glucocorticoids have extensively been used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. However, their side-effects remain the major limitation in clinical use and an improved therapeutic index is needed. METHODS Therapeutic efficacy and persistence of free and liposomal dexamethasone phosphate (DXM-P) were determined in mouse collagen-induced arthrit...
