Опубликована: Янв. 16, 2024

In modern pharmaceutical technology, modified-release dosage forms, such as in situ formed implants, are gaining rapidly popularity. These forms created based on a configurable matrix consisting of phase-sensitive polymers capable biodegradation, hydrophilic solvent, and the active substance suspended or dissolved it. The most used implants biocompatible biodegradable polymer, poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA). Objective: This systematic review examines reasons for phenomenon ingredient “burst” release, which is major drawback PLGA-based likely ways to correct this improve quality with matrix. Data sources: Actual relevant publications PubMed Google Scholar databases were studied. Study selection: concept was theory developed during literature analysis 12 effectors burst release from forming PLGA. Only those studies that sufficiently fully disclosed one another component included. Results: resulted development approach called “12 Factor System”, considers various constant variable, endogenous exogenous factors can influence nature ‘burst release’ ingredients PLGA polymer-based implants. include porosity, polymer swelling, LA:GA ratio, end groups, molecular weight, structure, concentration, loading ingredients, combination, use co-solvents, addition excipients, change dissolution conditions. also considered different types kinetics possibility using “burst release” modify profile at site application form.

Fostering the unleashing potential of nanocarriers-mediated delivery of ocular therapeutics

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 658, С. 124192 - 124192

Опубликована: Май 3, 2024

Ocular delivery is the most challenging aspect in field of pharmaceutical research. The major hurdle for controlled drugs to eye includes physiological static barriers such as complex layers cornea, sclera and retina which restrict drug from permeating into anterior posterior segments eye. Recent years have witnessed inventions conventional nanocarrier shown considerable enhancement delivering small large molecules across dynamic challenges associated with systems include limited contact time inadequate ocular bioavailability resulting solution drainage, tear turnover, dilution or lacrimation. To this end, various bioactive-based nanosized carriers including liposomes, ethosomes, niosomes, dendrimer, nanogel, nanofibers, lenses, nanoprobes, selenium nanobells, nanosponge, polymeric micelles, silver nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles among others been developed circumvent limitations dosage forms. These nanocarriers achieve enhanced permeation retention prolong release tissue due their better adherence. surface charge size (10–1000 nm) are important key factors overcome barriers. Various deliver active therapeutic timolol maleate, ampicillin, natamycin, voriconazole, cyclosporine A, dexamethasone, moxifloxacin, fluconazole treatment diseases. Taken together, a nutshell, book chapter provides comprehensive perspective on numerous facets special focus bioactive nanocarrier-based approaches, difficulties constraints involved fabrication nanocarriers. This also detailed invention applications ophthalmic therapeutics.

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 67(9), С. 7330 - 7358

Опубликована: Апрель 25, 2024

The aberrant activation of the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway is implicated in various human cancers. Thus, development inhibitors targeting mTOR has attracted considerable attention. In this study, we used a structure-based drug design strategy to discover highly potent and kinase-selective inhibitor 24 (PT-88), which demonstrated an inhibitory IC50 value 1.2 nM without obvious inhibition against another 195 kinases from kinase profiling screening. PT-88 displayed selective MCF-7 cells (IC50: 0.74 μM) with high biosafety normal cells, autophagy induced by was implicated. After successful encapsulation lipodisc formulation, favorable pharmacokinetic profiles exerted large antitumor effect subcutaneous bearing nude mice model. Our study shows discovery using provides promising candidate for future development.
