The colon targeted drug delivery system has a number of important implications in the field of pharmacotherapy. Oral colon targeted drug delivery system has recently gained importance for delivering a variety of therapeutic agents for both local and systemic administration targeting of drugs to the colon via oral administration protect the drug from degradation or release in the stomach and sma...

In general, we know that small intestine is mostly the site for drug absorption but in some cases the drug needs to be targeted to some other sites for absorption due to various factors like any disease condition, degradation related situations, for sustained release of drugs etc. Colon targeted drug delivery is a relatively new concept for the absorption of drugs as it offers near neutral pH. ...

BRCA1-associated RING domain protein 1 (BARD1) stabilizes BRCA1 protein by forming a heterodimeric RING-RING complex, and impacts function of BRCA1, including homologous recombination (HR) repair. Although colon cancer cells usually express wild type BRCA1, presence of an oncogenic BARD1 splice variant (SV) in select cancers may render BRCA1 dysfunctional and allow cells to become sensitive to ...

objective(s): the aim of present research was to develop matrix-mini-tablets of lornoxicam filled in capsule for targeting early morning peak symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. materials and methods:matrix-mini-tablets of lornoxicam were prepared by direct compression method using microsomal enzyme dependent and ph-sensitive polymers which were further filled into an empty hpmc capsule. to asses...

Colon specific drug delivery has achieved utmost importance because the colon is an area that is vulnerable to a number of diseases including ulcerative colitis, crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome and carcinomas. And, preservation of formulation in upper GIT to colon is still important step. Treatment of these diseases with a colon-specific drug delivery system provides an interesting al...

Finding intracellular pathways and molecules that can prevent the proliferation of colon cancer cells can provide significant bases for developing treatments for this disease. Ostreolysin (Oly) is a protein found in the mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus, and we have produced a recombinant version of this protein (rOly).We measured the viability of several colon cancer cells treated with rOly. Xenogr...

The ability to deliver drugs to the human colon in a specific manner has become feasible over the years. Targeting pharmaceutical drugs to the colon makes it possible to achieve local or systemic drug delivery to this site. To deliver the compounds in a non-degraded form to the lower part of the gastrointestinal tract, they must first of all pass through the stomach, the upper part of the intes...
