The sheep as a model of preclinical safety and pharmacokinetic evaluations of candidate microbicides.
When developing novel microbicide products for the prevention of HIV infection, the preclinical safety program must evaluate not only the active pharmaceutical ingredient but also the product itself. To that end, we applied several relatively standard toxicology study methodologies to female sheep, incorporating an assessment of the pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and local toxicity of ...
متن کاملPreclinical Evaluation of Silver-Curcumin Nano- gel : A complete assessment on a new topical antimicrobial product for burn
Nanosilver and nanocurcumin are popular nonmaterial with increasing public attention, but their synergistic therapeutic potentials in burns have never been considered. The present study aimed to provide a novel formulation from both nanomaterials (Ag – Curcumin NPs) and conduct their preclinical evaluation for burn healing. After evaluation of particle size, loading efficiency, release profile ...
متن کاملDevelopment of Preclinical Biomarkers Predictive of Safety of Vaginal Microbicides for the Prevention of HIV
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is transmitted predominantly through sexual intercourse. Research suggests that the vaginal epithelium acts as a barrier to HIV transmission, but this epithelium can be disrupted, leading to HIV infection and other sexually transmitted infections. Topical microbicides are considered an effective strategy for HIV prevention, and several candidate drugs are curr...
متن کاملL-selectin and P-selectin are novel biomarkers of cervicovaginal inflammation for preclinical mucosal safety assessment of anti-HIV-1 microbicide.
A major obstacle thwarting preclinical development of microbicides is the lack of a validated biomarker of cervicovaginal inflammation. Therefore, the present study aims to identify novel noninvasive soluble markers in a murine model for assessment of microbicide mucosal safety. By performing cytokine antibody array analysis, we identified two adhesion molecules, L-selectin and P-selectin, whic...
متن کاملThe NIH Anticonvulsant Drug Development (ADD) Program: preclinical anticonvulsant screening project
reports are written for those compounds that have undergone multilevel evaluations. A report analyzes and interprets the generated data, and also compares the candidate compound's pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profile to that of current clinically effective drugs. Annually, approximately ten promising compounds are considered for further development by the ADD Program. If a compound appea...
