evaluation and efficacy studies of a liposomal doxorubicin-loaded glycyrretinic acid formulation for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), more than 800 000 cases reported annually, is the most common primary liver cancer globally. Doxorubicin hydrochloride (Dox-HCl) is a widely used chemotherapy drug for HCC, but efficacy and tolerability are limited, thus critical to develop delivery systems that can target Dox-HCl to the tumour site. In this study, liver-targeting ligand glycyrrhetinic acid (Gly) was conjugated to polyethylene glycol (PEG) Steglich reaction and incorporated in liposomes, which were then loaded with Dox-HCl by pH gradient method.

Safety and Efficacy of a Novel Combination Cream (GN-037) in Healthy Volunteers and Patients with Plaque Psoriasis: A Phase 1 Trial.

Introduction: Psoriasis is a common skin disorder associated with physical and psychological burdens. Visible disfiguration can trigger a negative reaction which can cause much of the readily measurable psychological burden of the disease. Although many biological treatments provide some success in the initial clearance of lesions, there is a dispute about the long-term maintenance of the disease, as no current biological treatment has been shown to be curative.

Enhancing Oral Bioavailability of Domperidone Maleate: Formulation, Permeability Evaluation In-caco-2 Cell Monolayers and Rat Intestinal Permeability Studies.

Background: The domperidone maleate, a lipophilic agent classified as a Biopharmaceutical Classification System Class II substance with weak water solubility. Self- Emulsifying Drug Delivery System is a novel approach to improve water solubility and, ultimately bioavailability of drugs.

Objective: This study aimed to develop and characterize new domperidone-loaded self-emulsifying drug delivery systems as an alternative formulation and to evaluate the permeability of domperidone-loaded self-emulsifying drug delivery systems by using Caco-2 cells and single-pass intestinal perfusion method.

Preparation and evaluation of a lipid-based drug delivery system to ımprove valsartan oral bioavailability: pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis.

Antihypertensive treatment reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications in patients with high mortality with hypertension. Valsartan is highly selective antihypertensive that is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, but its oral bioavailability is only 25%. It is absorbed from the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract but is less soluble in this acidic environment.

Preparation, characterization and evaluation of cisplatin-bound triblock polymeric micelle solution for ovarian cancer treatment.

The main objective of this study was to prepare cisplatin (CDDP) bound triblock polymeric micelle solution which will have a hydrophilic shell not being phagocytosed by mononuclear phagocyte system, and evaluate behavior for the treatment of ovarian cancer. For this aim, CDDP was bound to polyglutamic acid (PGA) and the triblock polymer was prepared using polyethylene glycol)-polylactide--glycolide (PEG-PLGA). CDDP-bound triblock copolymer conjugation was characterized, release and permeability studies were performed using USP II method and Caco-2 cell lines, respectively.
