Novel Transporter Targeted Lipid Ester Prodrugs of Cidofovir and Sustained Release Formulations for Cytomegalovirus Infection
(2013)
such as high water solubility (170 mg/mL) and log p (-3.9) of CDF are unfavorable for passive transcellular absorption. Therefore, we have tested novel transporter targeted lipid prodrugs of CDF and their nanoparticle formulations to achieve sustain drug...
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 ...
Ritonavir - A Novel Multidrug Resistance Modulator in Cancer Chemotherapy and Ocular Neovascular Diseases
(2014-08-28)
Multidrug resistance (MDR), a clinical outcome characterized by subtherapeutic
intracellular drug concentration, is one of the predominant factors limiting effective cancer
chemotherapy. Several possible mechanisms and ...
Interactions between drugs of abuse and HIV protease inhibitors
(2014-07-09)
Drug abuse is an escalating problem prevalent in both large metropolitan and rural
places and is a major cause of mortality and morbidity all over the world. Drugs of abuse
such as morphine and nicotine are consumed by ...
Improved delivery of molecularly targeted agents upon modulation of multidrug resistance efflux proteins at mouse blood brain barrier
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)
Recurrent brain tumors are one of the most lethal forms of solid tumors with poor
prognosis. Molecularly targeted therapy, inhibiting the tyrosine kinase domain of
epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), platelet derived ...
