The objective of this study is to transport and deliver resveratrol to intracellular sites using apolipoprotein E3 (apoE3). Reconstituted high-density lipoprotein (rHDL) bearing resveratrol (rHDL/res) was prepared using phospholipids and the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr)-binding domain of apoE3. Biophysical characterization revealed that resveratrol was partitioned into the phospholip...

The challenge of specificity remains a great obstacle in modern cancer therapeutics. Pancreatic cancer patients, with a survival rate of less than 5%, are particularly reliant on the specificity of drug therapies due to late diagnosis and non-resectable tumors. This study investigates the targeting of an iron oxide nanovehicle with the novel monoclonal antibody, CHO31.1, to the surface antigen ...

the delivery of therapeutic proteins has gained momentum with development of biotechnology. however, large molecular weight, hydrophilic nature and susceptibility to harsh environment of gastrointestinal tract (git) resulted in low absorption. the main objective of this work was the design of a particulate system for oral delivery of recombinant human growth hormone (rhgh) on the basis of parti...

abstractgene therapy is a therapeutic approach to deliver genetic material into cells to alter their function in entire organism. one promising form of gene delivery system (dds) is liposomes. the success of liposome-mediated gene delivery is a multifactorial issue and well-designed liposomal systems might lead to optimized gene transfection particularly in vivo. liposomal gene delivery systems...

To answer challenge of targeted and controlled drug release in oral delivery various materials were studied by different methods. In the present paper, controlled metal based drug (Pd(II) complex) release manner of β‑Lactoglobulin (β-LG) nanoparticles was investigated using mathematical drug release model in order to design and production of a new oral drug delivery system for gastrointestinal ...

      Several plant extracts and phytoconstituents, despite having excellent bioactivity in vitro, demonstrate less or no in vivo actions due to their poor lipid solubility or improper molecular size or destruction in gut. Drug delivery system for polyphenolic phytoconstituents (phytosomes) was prepared by complexing polyphenolic phytoconstituents with phospholipid mainly phosphatidylcholine wh...
