Amongst various carriers explored for target oriented drug delivery, vesicular, microparticulate and cellular carriers meet several criteria rendering them useful in clinical applications. Lymphocytes, leukocytes, platelets, granulocytes and erythrocytes have been proposed as a cellular carrier. Erythrocytes, also known as red blood cells, and have been the most extensively investigated and fou...

glibenclamide (glib) is a poorly soluble drug with formulation-dependent bioavailability. therefore, we attempted in this study to improve glib dissolution rate by preparing drug solid dispersions by solvent evaporation (se) and supercritical fluid solvent-antisolvent techniques (scf-sas). a d-optimal mixture design was used to investigate the effects of different ratios of hpmc e5 (50-100%), p...

conclusions presence of drug resistance mutations among the patients was significant. precore mutations were common amongst iranian hbv chronic carriers under lamivudine therapy and these mutations were accompanied by clinical relapse. patients and methods sequential sera were obtained from 88 chronic hbv carriers who received lamivudine for more than 24 months. polymerase and precore regions w...

The aim of this study is to formulate a novel ophthalmic nanosuspension (ONS), an alternative carrier system to traditional colloidal carriers for controlled release (CR) of acyclovir (ACV). In the present study, ONS is employed to avoid some of major disadvantages of colloidal carriers systems such as instability in cul de sac and short half life by increasing efficiency of drug encapsulation ...

Liposomal drug carriers are nano-scale, spherical particles with a phospholipid bilayer surrounding an aqueous core and are commonly used for chemotherapeutic delivery. Chemotherapy efficacy is limited by toxicity and tumor drug resistance; however, with increased circulation and improved tumor deposition due to the enhanced permeability and retention effect, liposomes increase treatment effica...

Carriers are protective transporters of drugs to target cells, facilitating therapy under each points view, such as fast healing, reducing infective phenomena, and curing illnesses while avoiding side effects. Over the last 60 years, several scientists have studied drug carrier properties, trying adapt them release environment. Drug/Carrier interaction phenomena been deeply studied, kinetics mo...

Microfluidics is undoubtedly an influential technology that is currently revolutionizing the chemical and biological studies by replicating laboratory bench-top technology on a miniature chip-scale device. In the area of drug delivery science, microfluidics offers advantages, such as precise dosage, ideal delivery, target-precise delivery, sustainable and controlled release, multiple dosing, an...

DNA nanolanterns, a pure assembly, are used as biocompatible drug carriers to prepare nanocomposite photosensitizer for highly efficient photodynamic therapy in the biological transparent window.
