The primary objective of this project is to develop stereoisomeric prodrugs such as Lvaline-
D-valine-prednisolone (LDP) and D-valine-L-valine-prednisolone (DLP) to improve
ocular and oral absorption of prednisolone. ...
Role of Membrane Transporters in Drug Delivery, Drug Disposition And Drug-Drug Interactions
(2014-08-28)
secondary aim of this investigation we developed novel pentablock (PB) copolymer nanoparticles of pazopanib for treatment of ocular neovascularization. Our results indicated that PB copolymer based drug delivery systems can serve as a platform technology...
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 ...
