Polymer Micelles for Drug Delivery
Polymeric micelles obtained from the self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers are probably one of the most common drug delivery carriers among polymeric nanoparticles.1–4 The rise of highly controlled polymerization techniques, especially processes such as ATRP5 and RAFT,6 has led to an extraordinary surge of new types of block copolymers fit for biomedical applications. Facile control ove...
متن کاملUltrasonic nebulization platforms for pulmonary drug delivery.
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD Since the 1950s, ultrasonic nebulizers have played an important role in pulmonary drug delivery. As the process in which aerosol droplets are generated is independent and does not require breath-actuation, ultrasonic nebulizers, in principle, offer the potential for instantaneously fine-tuning the dose administered to the specific requirements of a patient, taking into a...
متن کاملNew Platforms For Drug Screening And Toxicology: Necessity Or Need?
The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body that is responsible for more than 500 vital functions, including biosynthesis of major plasma proteins, immunity against infectious pathogens, balancing energy metabolism and xenobiotics biotransformation (1). One of the main functions of the liver is an important role in drug metabolism (2). Since developing new drug compounds into mark...
متن کاملCharacterization and Evaluation of Novel Film Forming Polymer for Drug Delivery
In this study, Damar Batu (DB) − a novel biomaterial− is evaluated for its potential application in pharmaceutical coating. DB is a whitish to yellowish resin, characterized initially in terms of solubility, acid value, molecular weight (Mw), polydispersity index (Mw/Mn) and glass transition temperature (Tg). Neat plasticized films of DB are investigated for mechanical, water vapor transmission...
