Self-assembled nanoparticles as multifunctional drugs for anti-microbial therapies.
A self-assembled nanoparticle containing a photosensitizer and a Trojan-horse moiety (cholesterol), binds an anti-TB pro-drug and increases 1000-fold its activity against mycobacteria. These minimalist constructs will allow development of economically viable, efficient drug preparations for the treatment of drug-resistant TB infections.
متن کاملMultifunctional drugs: a novel concept for psychopharmacology.
Beginning this month and appearing periodically in future columns, "Trends in Psychopharmacology" will cover a new concept and hot topic in the field, namely, that of "multifunctional drugs." The concept is presented in overview here. Future installments will cover specific drugs in greater depth. Multifunctional drugs include those agents with more than one putative therapeutic mechanism of ac...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Peptides: Multifunctional Drugs for Different Applications
Antimicrobial peptides (APs) are an important part of the innate immune system in epithelial and non-epithelial surfaces. So far, many different antimicrobial peptides from various families have been discovered in non-vertebrates and vertebrates. They are characterized by antibiotic, antifungal and antiviral activities against a variety of microorganisms. In addition to their role as endogenous...
متن کاملIntroduction to Neurotherapeutics and Neuropsychopharmacology
In recent years there has been tremendous progress in advancing new treatments for neurologic and psychiatric illnesses. New agents have emerged for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, migraine, schizophrenia, bipolar illness, depression, and substance abuse disorders. Advances in understanding of basic pathophysiology and molecular biology o...
متن کاملOsteocytes as multifunctional cells.
Bone is often thought of as being a passive, inactive tissue like a skeleton hanging in the anatomy lab. Often, bone tissue is envisioned statically in terms of two dimensions similar to a 'shapshot' of a histology slide. However, quite to the contrary, bone undergoes considerable turnover as compared to other organs in the body. Modeling during growth is dramatic and even in adult bone, 2-5% t...
