Topical Clear Aqueous Nanomicellar Formulations For Anterior And Posterior Ocular Drug Delivery
(2015-08-04)
The objective of this study was to develop a clear, aqueous drug loaded
nanomicellar formulation (NMF) for the back-of-the-eye delivery. Hydrophobic
drugs such as cyclosporine, resolvin analog (RX-10045), dexamethasone ...
Topical Clear Aqueous Nanomicellar Formulation for Anterior and Posterior Ocular Drug Delivery
(University of Missouri–Kansas City, 2015)
-of-the-eye tissues (retina-choroid) following conjunctival-scleral pathway. In the lipoidal posterior ocular tissues, these nano-constructs may release the cargo into Bruch’s membrane/retina-choroid generating high drug levels....
Protein production and applications of NMR in pharmaceutical sciences
(2014-08-28)
The objective of Part I (Protein production for structural elucidation using NMR) is to design and develop strategies of producing amyloid beta protein for structural analysis using NMR. Amyloid beta oligomers are considered ...
Evaluation of siRNA mediated Silencing of IKKα in Prostate cancer and CD40 in Type-1 Diabetes
(2014-09-30)
The objective of this dissertation is to present the various therapeutic approaches for two distinctly different diseases, prostate cancer and type-1 diabetes. Our objective (1) for prostate cancer is to evaluate the siRNA ...
Cell wall metabolite levels as a function of the growth phase in Staphylococcus aureus and library screening for synergistic combinations of FDA approved drugs against methicillin resistant S. aureus
(2022)
≤ 0.5) like imipenem and biapenem were identified. Moreover, many agents showed weak synergy (0.5 < FICmin ≤ 0.75), such as nafcillin, doripenem, meropenem, and moxalactam....
Library Screening and Focused Multiomics of Antibacterial Action on Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci faecium
(2023)
Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health threat, and there is an urgent need for new strategies to address this issue. In a gram-positive bacteria, the peptidoglycan layer is thick as compared to gram negatives ...
Engineering of Human Acid Phosphatase Enzyme Sensitive Nanomedicine for HIV/AIDS Prevention by Topical Route
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
This study is divided into two aims. Aim #1 focuses on the development and
characterization of tenofovir (TFV) loaded a stimuli sensitive nanomedicine against male to
female HIV/AIDS infection. Aim #2 focus on the ...
Development of Random Triblock Copolymer Based Nanoparticulate Formulation for Sustained Release of Macromolecules/Biologics in Treatment of Posterior Segment Ocular Diseases
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
Random triblock copolymers (RTB) were successfully synthesized by ring opening
copolymerization method. RTB copolymers are composed of FDA approved materials such as
polyethylene glycol (PEG), glycolide (GA), lactide ...
Prodrug Approach to Improve Oral and Brain Absorption of HIV Protease Inhibitor, Lopinavir
(2014)
The main objective of this project is to develop prodrug strategies to circumvent efflux
pumps such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance associated proteins (MRPs),
thereby enhancing oral and brain absorption ...
Development and Evaluation of 3D-Printed Cardiovascular Stents
(2022)
Biodegradable stents (BDS) could be a promising alternative to the conventional metallic stents for the treatment of atherosclerosis which is a coronary artery disease (CAD). Three-dimensional (3D) printing technique has ...
Preparation Of Oligonucleotide Delivery Agents And Insulin Depot Materials Using Solid Phase Synthesis
(2014)
Short interfering RNA (siRNA) induced RNA interference (RNAi) is capable of preventing gene translation. In a laboratory setting, various transfection methods have enabled this mechanism to be used for routine gene silencing ...
