Abstract:

Cancer is a fatal disease and relatively widespread in the world; Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women. Hydroxyurea (HU) is a chemotherapy drug for the cure of cancer different types in patients, for example breast cancer, but has several defects, for to remove these problems in this study a nanoliposome (NL) suspension for Hydroxyurea (HU) delivery in breast cancer cell therapy was developed.HU was encapsulated into NLs. Size was measured by nanosizer. The release of the liposomal formulation was assessed during 36 h. FTIR analysis for liposomal Hydroxyurea and free Hydroxyurea was carried out. The uptake capacity of the formulation was determined by transfection of nanoliposomal hydroxyurea (NL-HU) in MDA-MB231 cells via flow cytometer and fluorescence microscopy studies, the cytotoxicity of NL-HU and free HU was evaluated in cells. Size of NL-HU was 174nm, HU encapsulation efficiencies in NLs was 81%. FTIR analysis showed the stability of HU in the liposome and no improper interaction between liposome and HU, release after 36h depicted sustained release behavior.NL-HU had suitable uptake in MDA-MB231 cells. Cytotoxicity of NL-HU on cells was considerable. We confirmed these nanoliposomes are potentially useful for delivery of Hydroxyurea in breast cancer cells treatment.

Preparation and In Vitro Evaluation of a Microballoon Delivery System for Theophylline

A multiple-unit oral floating system was prepared using the emulsification-solvent diffusion method to prolong the gastric emptying time of theophylline. For this purpose, theophylline, ethyl cellulose and dibutyl phthalate were dissolved in an ethanol/dichloromethane mixture, added to 0.1 M HCl containing NaCl (20%) or saturated theophylline and/or different concentrations of polysorbate 80 an...

Preparation and Evaluation of Cyproterone Acetate Liposome for Topical Drug Delivery

       Cyproterone acetate (CA) has been loaded to liposome by solvent evaporation and thin film formation technique. The effects of some formulation variables such as temperature of organic solvent evaporation, rotary evaporator speed, volume of organic solvent, volume of balloon and temperature of hydrating buffer has been evaluated. The data showed that bigger balloon with higher surface are...

Preparation and in vitro evaluation of a novel chitosan-based hydrogel for injectable delivery of enrofloxacin

BACKGROUND: The development of injectable sustained-release products are of great interest to veterinary pharmaceuticals and animal health business. Recently, great attention has been paid to in situ gel-forming chitosan/beta-glycerophosphate (chitosan/β-GP) solutions due to their good biodegradability and thermosensitivity. OBJECTIVES: The general aim of this study was to prepare a novel in si...

Preparation and in-vitro Evaluation of an Antisense-containing Cationic Liposome against Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: a Comparative Preparation Study

The current methods for treatment of cancers are inadequate and more specific methods such as gene therapy are in progress. Among different vehicles, cationic liposomes are frequently used for delivery of genetic material. This investigation aims to prepare and optimize DOTAP cationic liposomes containing an antisense oligonuclotide (AsODN) against protein kinase C alpha in non-small cells lung...
