Dendrimer: Globular Nanostructured Materials for Drug Delivery
Nanotechnology is an emerging research field that helps in reviving the structural design, synthesis and fabrication at the molecular magnitude. There are approximately 130 nanopharmaceutical products in development including~nanoparticles, nanocrystals, dendrimers, liposomes and micelles. The increase in the selectivity and stability of therapeutic agents can be achieved with the help of Nanop...
متن کاملNanostructured materials for applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering.
Research in the areas of drug delivery and tissue engineering has witnessed tremendous progress in recent years due to their unlimited potential to improve human health. Meanwhile, the development of nanotechnology provides opportunities to characterize, manipulate and organize matter systematically at the nanometer scale. Biomaterials with nano-scale organizations have been used as controlled ...
متن کاملAlginate modified nanostructured calcium carbonate with enhanced delivery efficiency for gene and drug delivery.
To improve the performance of nanostructured calcium carbonate in gene delivery, a hydrophilic polysaccharide, alginate, was added to calcium carbonate co-precipitation systems to form alginate/CaCO(3)/DNA nanoparticles. The size and ζ-potential of the nanoparticles were measured by a zetasizer. Due to the existence of alginate chains which retarded the growth of calcium carbonate based co-prec...
متن کاملSustained ocular delivery of ciprofloxacin using nanospheres and conventional contact lens materials.
PURPOSE To formulate conventional contact lenses that incorporate nanosphere-encapsulated antibiotic and demonstrate that the lenses provide for sustained antibacterial activity. METHODS A copolymer composed of pullulan and polycaprolactone (PCL) was used to synthesize core-shell nanospheres that encapsulated ciprofloxacin. Bactericidal activity of the nanosphere-encapsulated ciprofloxacin (n...
متن کاملPreparation and evaluation of PCL-PEG-PCL micelles as potential nanocarriers for ocular delivery of dexamethasone
Objective(s): Micelles have been studied as nanoparticulate drug delivery systems for improving the topical ocular delivery of hydrophobic drugs. The objective of this study was to develop and characterize dexamethasone-loaded polycaprolactone-polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone (PCL-PEG-PCL) micelles to improve patient compliance and enhance the ocular bioavailability of poorly water-soluble ...
