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 drug interaction for improving intracellular accumulation and efficacy of chemotherapeutics in retinoblastoma and mitochondrial localization of transporters in corneal epithelial cells
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2013-03-15)
Chemoreduction is the key treatment for retinoblastoma management. However, anticancer agents suffer from poor cell permeability and chemoresistance due to major interaction with multidrug resistant (MDR) efflux proteins ...
Clear, Aqueous Topical Nanomicelle Formulation For Diabetic Macula Edema
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
The objective of this study was to develop a clear aqueous mixed nanomicellar
formulation (NMF) of hydrophobic drugs for diabetic macula edema. The hydrophobic
drugs include triamcinolone acetonide (TA), fluocinolonce ...
EVASION OF EFFLUX AND ENHANCING BIOAVAILABILITY OF AMPRENAVIR BY PRODRUG DERIVATIZATION
(2013)
Millions of people worldwide have been infected with human immunodeficiency (HIV). Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has substantially improved the clinical management of HIV-1 infection. Inclusion of HIV protease ...
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 ...
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 ...
