Novel targeted lipid prodrugs to improve cellular absorption of acyclovir and topical delivery to the eye via nanomicellar approach
(2013)
Biotinylated lipid prodrugs of acyclovir (ACV) were designed to target the
sodium dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) on the intestine and cornea to
facilitate ACV cellular transport. All the prodrugs were screened ...
Pentablock copolymers based controlled release formulations of small and macromolecules for ophthalmic applications
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)
Pentablock copolymers comprised of multi-polymer blocks such as polyethylene
glycol (PEG), polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly-lactide (PLA) were developed for
fabrication of nanoparticles and thermosensitive hydrogel ...
Development and evaluation of novel in situ depot-forming controlled release formulations
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-10-24)
pentablock polymers based thermosensitive hydrogel by incorporating PLA block in the center of PEG-PCL-PEG. These polymers were characterized by 1H NMR, GPC, and FT-IR. The effect of block composition on the sol-gel transition, crystallinity, and drug release...
Formulation of nanoparticles encapsulating hydrophilic molecules following their ionic complexation
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-06-01)
Part 1: Dexamethasone is one of the most widely used drug molecules for the treatment of posterior segment ocular diseases. The major problems associated with the delivery of dexamethasone include its poor aqueous solubility ...
Fomulation and Delivery of Drugs for Macular Edema and Retinoblastoma; Synthesis and In Vitro Characterization of Doxorubicin Loaded Surface Modified Nanoparticles Using PLGA-PEG-PLGA Polymer
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-01-20)
Macular edema (ME) is caused by central extravascular swelling of the macula resulting in a significant loss of visual activity. Corticosteroids are widely used in the treatment of ME. In this project, nanoparticles of ...
