Triggered release of therapeutic antibodies from nanodiamond complexes.

Recent reports have revealed that detonation nanodiamonds (NDs) can serve as efficient, biocompatible, and versatile drug delivery platforms. Consequently, further investigations exploring additional therapeutic applications are warranted. Current limitations associated with the non-specific nature of intravenous drugs limit the potential of certain pharmacological agents.

Localized therapeutic release via an amine-functionalized poly-p-xylene microfilm device.

Developing biocompatible polymeric platforms for drug delivery with enhanced localized activity represents a key facet of advanced interventional therapy. In this work, the drug-eluting potential of an amine-functionalized poly- p-xylene commonly known as Parylene A (4-amino(2,2)paracyclophane) was conducted with the microfilm device consisting of a primary base layer, drug film, and a secondary eluting layer presenting exposed amine groups which enhance the range of modifications that can be incorporated into the film.
