Controlled-release Systems for Proteins & Peptides: 3rd-generation Intranasal Anthrax Vaccine-delivery System
نویسنده
چکیده
The objective was to develop microspherebased delivery systems (MDS) for controlled and pulsed-release delivery of recombinant anthrax vaccine via intranasal immunisation. Microsphere-based recombinant protective antigen (RPA) delivery systems for intranasal immunisation were successfully developed, wherein the MDS formulations produced extremely high antibody titres (over 150,000) in mice after 65 days of immunisation compared with the aqueous RPA vaccine system (at 15,900). Selected MDS systems were challenged with anthrax toxin. The MDS systems, on two intranasal doses, showed 100% protection against anthrax toxin challenge in mice, compared with <17% that were protected by the aqueous RPA vaccine system and none in the non-immunised control group.

Intranasal route, ensuring suitable bioavailability of medicines under circumvention of the gastrointestinal degradation and hepatic first-pass elimination, has been a popular choice for drug delivery. Among nasal dosage forms, mucoadhesive solid inserts have been shown to resist mucociliary clearance and provide a prolonged nasal residence time. Hence, the purpose of this study was the prepara...

متن کاملControlled drug delivery systems: past forward and future back.
Controlled drug delivery technology has progressed over the last six decades. This progression began in 1952 with the introduction of the first sustained release formulation. The 1st generation of drug delivery (1950-1980) focused on developing oral and transdermal sustained release systems and establishing controlled drug release mechanisms. The 2nd generation (1980-2010) was dedicated to the ...
