Lipid Nanoparticles: Tumor-targeting Nanocargos for Drug and Contrast Agent Delivery
A new technology for the encapsulation of lipophilic molecules -both drugs and contrast agentshas been developed, based on oil-in-water nanoemulsions. Physicochemical characterizations of the nanoparticles evidence highly stable lipid nanoemulsions with amorphous core of temperatureand compositiontunable viscosity. Particles display low in vitro cytotoxicity (IC50 > 300 μg/mL of lipids), and hi...
متن کاملFormulation and Evaluation of Nanocrystals of a Lipid Lowering Agent
Atorvastatin calcium, the lipid lowering agent, is taken as a model drug characterized by poor water solubility and bioavailability. In this study an attempt was made for preparation of nanocrystals using high pressure homogenization. A number of stabilizers were included as well as polymers at different concentrations, and the formulations were homogenized for ten cycles at a pressure of 1000 ...

متن کاملRepositioning Clofazimine as a Macrophage-Targeting Photoacoustic Contrast Agent
Photoacoustic Tomography (PAT) is a deep-tissue imaging modality, with potential clinical applications in the diagnosis of arthritis, cancer and other disease conditions. Here, we identified Clofazimine (CFZ), a red-pigmented dye and anti-inflammatory FDA-approved drug, as a macrophage-targeting photoacoustic (PA) imaging agent. Spectroscopic experiments revealed that CFZ and its various proton...
متن کاملA novel MRI contrast agent synthesized by ion exchange method
Objective: In this study, the zeolite-coated iron oxide nanoparticles were evaluated as MRI contrast agent and effect of the nanocomposite synthesis method on MRI contrast was tested. Materials and Methods: Ion exchange method was used for synthesis of iron oxide-zeolite and the as prepared nanocomposite was characterized by XRD, FESEM and TEM. The nanocomposite toxicity in the cell culture, a...
