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 ...
Novel Transporter Targeted Lipid Ester Prodrugs of Cidofovir and Sustained Release Formulations for Cytomegalovirus Infection
(2013)
Cidofovir (CDF) has shown potential in vitro and in vivo antiviral activity against cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis. However, low CDF permeability due to its hydrophilic nature limits its effectiveness. Furthermore, ...
Light-activated biomacromolecules
(2013)
Biomacromolecules, mainly nucleic acids and proteins, are involved in
every cellular process and therefore their aberrant level or function is linked with
most of the diseases. Controlling these macromolecules using light ...
