the aim of the present study was to develop exemestane loaded polymeric nanoparticles for improved oral bioavailability of exemestane. exemestane loaded nanoparticles were prepared by solvent displacement method with eudragit rl 100 and eudragit l 100 as polymers and pluronic® f-68 as surfactant. the influence of various formulation factors (drug: polymer ratio and concentration of surfactant) ...

Thiomalyl chitosan (TCS), a pH sensitive thiolated chitosan derivative, was developed and investigated towards oral protein delivery application. Particles of z-average 364 ± 5.6 nm with a negative zeta potential of 14.4 mV was obtained by tripolyphosphate cross linking of TCS. The release of insulin from TCS particles was significantly restricted at pH 1.2 minimizing up to about < 10% in 3 hou...

microparticles offer various significant advantages as drug delivery systems, including: (i) an effective protection of the encapsulated active agent against (e.g. enzymatic) degradation, (ii) the possibility to accurately control the release rate of the incorporated drug over periods of hours to months, (iii) an easy administration (compared to alternative parenteral controlled release dosage ...

To address complications of pathogenic antibody or life-threatening anaphylactic reactions in protein replacement therapy for patients with hemophilia or other inherited protein deficiencies, we have developed a prophylactic protocol using a murine hemophilia B model. Oral delivery of coagulation factor IX fused with cholera toxin beta-subunit (with or without a furin cleavage site; CTB-FFIX or...

Effective delivery of therapeutic proteins is a formidable challenge. Herein, using a unique polymer family with a wide-ranging set of cationic and hydrophobic features, we developed a novel nanoparticle (NP) platform capable of installing protein ligands on the particle surface and simultaneously carrying therapeutic proteins inside by a self-assembly procedure. The loaded therapeutic proteins...

conclusions the results indicated that sod-loaded in sln was delivered into deep burned skin layer and induced high enzyme activity through the skin. low particle size, application of lecithin as surfactant and low crystallinity index (ci) percentage were important factors for increasing sod penetration through the burned rat skin. percentage of activity by sln dispersions through rat skin was ...
