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 ...
Novel in vitro cell culture models for studying pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions following oral administration
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-09-21)
In this study different in vitro models were developed to study the long term and short term drug- drug interactions occurring upon oral administration. MDCK cells were stably transfected for the simultaneous expression ...
Stereoisomeric Prodrugs to Improve Ocular And Oral Absorption of Prednisolone
(2015-08-11)
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. ...
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 ...
Preparation of Pentablock Nanomicellar Formulations for Prostate Cancer Drug Delivery Systems
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
This study is divided into three specific aims. Specific aim #1 focused on
synthesis of pentablock co-polymer using monomers of L-lactide, ε-caprolactone and
ethylene-glycol with varied molecular weights, (ii) ...
Formulation of nanoparticles encapsulating hydrophilic molecules following their ionic complexation
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-06-01)
Part 1: Dexamethasone is one of the most widely used drug molecules for the treatment of posterior segment ocular diseases. The major problems associated with the delivery of dexamethasone include its poor aqueous solubility ...
Ocular pharmacokinetics and efficacy of various amino acid and dipeptide prodrugs of ganciclovir
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-10-02)
Herpes simplex virus infections (HSV) in the eye are one of the leading causes of blindness across the world. Current available treatment options to treat HSV infections are solutions of trifluorothymidine (TFT), idoxuridine ...
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 ...
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 ...
Novel Transporter Targeted Lipid Ester Prodrugs of Cidofovir and Sustained Release Formulations for Cytomegalovirus Infection
(2013)
Cidofovir (CDF) has shown potential in vitro and in vivo antiviral activity against cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis. However, low CDF permeability due to its hydrophilic nature limits its effectiveness. Furthermore, ...
