Development of Advanced Delivery Systems for Microbicides
(2016)
HIV/AIDS still continues to be a pandemic and global emergency and is a leading cause of
death among the women of reproductive age (15-49 yr). Women are more vulnerable for HIV infection
due to anatomical and physiological ...
Development and Evaluation of Nanocarriers against Atherosclerosis
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
The objective of this project was to develop advanced nanocarriers such as
nanographene and graphene quantum dots against atherosclerosis. Mannosylated-reduced
graphene oxide (Man-rGO) was developed as a targeted ...
Discovery of Peptide and Aptamer Ligands for Targeted Drug Delivery to Hepatic Stellate Cells
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
The objective of this dissertation is to present two approaches to identify Hepatic
Stellate Cells (HSCs) targeting ligands using phage-display library biopanning and
systematic evolution of ligands by exponential ...
Conformational and Structural Investigation of Substituted Hydrocarbons and Ring Compounds by Vibrational and Microwave Spectroscopy
(2016)
The physiochemical properties of a molecule of interest are usually obtained from
its molecular structure, and it involves the orientation of one part of the molecule about a
particular bond with respect to the rest ...
Practical Applications of Infrared, Raman and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Techniques for Qualitative, Quantitative and Structural Analysis of Pharmaceutical Drugs, Cementitious Material and Organic Molecules Containing Phosphorous
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
The study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation which procreated the wide branch named as Spectroscopy has gained tremendous attention since the last century. Atoms and molecules respond to ...
Novel Approaches for Targeted Delivery of Cancer Therapeutics to Nuclei of Malignant Cells
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
The primary goal of this project is to increase specific uptake of anti-cancer therapeutics by
nuclei of cancer cells. A lot of research has been done to target therapeutics specifically across
plasma membrane of ...
Formulation of Hyaluronidase Enzyme Sensitive Topical Nanomicrobicides for HIV Virus Transmission Prevention
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
The objective of this dissertation is to design and optimize a nanoformulations
(nanoparticle and nanofiber) delivery system loaded with anti-HIV topical microbicides for
HIV prevention in women.
In chapters 1 and ...
