Dermal drug delivery is highly preferred by patients due to its several advantages. Protein therapeutics have attracted huge attention recently. Since dermal delivery of proteins encounter problems, in this investigation, zinc oxide nanoparticles and calcium phosphate nanoparticles were compared as enhancers for dermal permeation of albumin. Albumin was applied simultaneously with zinc oxide na...

It has been stated by McDonagh, Palma & Lightner [(1982) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 104, 6867-6871] that complexing of bilirubin with serum albumin has a marked species-dependent influence on bilirubin photoisomerization in vitro and in vivo. Therefore the kinetics for the quantitatively important reaction: (Formula: see text) of the photochemical interconversion between bilirubin and its photoisomers b...
