pH Sensitive Hydrogel Based Acrylic Acid for Controlled Drug Release
Hydrogels, due to their unique potentials such as high-water content and hydrophilicity are interest for the controlled release of drug molecules. The present study aims to create a controlled-release system through the preparation and characterization of hydrogels based on pH-sensitive polymers such as poly (acrylic acid). Poly (acrylic acid), p(AA), hydrogel has been synthesized by radical po...
متن کاملSpecific release of ribosomal proteins by nucleic acid-intercalating agents.
Increasing concentrations of ethidium bromide cause progressive inactivation of ribosomes, apparently by binding to double-stranded regions of the rRNA. At low drug concentrations (10(-4)M) the partial inhibition detected is due to specific release of proteins L7 and L12; activity can be restored by addition of an excess of these two proteins. At higher concentrations the inactivation is not re...
متن کاملNucleic Acid Polymers with Accelerated Plasma and Tissue Clearance for Chronic Hepatitis B Therapy
REP 2139 is a nucleic acid polymer (NAP) currently under clinical development for chronic hepatitis B (HBV) therapy. This preclinical study investigated different REP 2139 analogs that would display reduced accumulation in the serum and tissues, while retaining an antiviral effect against HBV infection. REP 2139 analogs were evaluated in human plasma, CD-1 mice, cynomolgus monkeys, and Pekin du...
متن کاملApplication of polymers in nucleic acid delivery
Gene therapy and immunotherapy are powerful techniques in the treatment of many life threatening diseases. The major challenge in these therapies is to seek a safe and efficient delivery carrier for gene and antigen materials. Carriers are designed to protect these molecules from degradation, improve their stability and facilitate the delivery of them to the site of action. This research study ...
متن کاملEnd-joining long nucleic acid polymers
Many experiments involving nucleic acids require the hybridization and ligation of multiple DNA or RNA molecules to form a compound molecule. When one of the constituents is single stranded, however, the efficiency of ligation can be very low and requires significant individually tailored optimization. Also, when the molecules involved are very long (>10 kb), the reaction efficiency typically r...
