Distribution and suitability of pulmonary surfactants as a vehicle for topically applied antibodies in healthy and SARS-CoV-2 infected rodent lungs.

The use of natural pulmonary surfactants (PS) as a drug delivery vehicle for biologics is a more recent therapeutic modality. Herein, we tested different contents of PS regarding their physicochemical properties under stress conditions. The PS content of 12.

Characterization of critical parameters using an air-liquid interface model with RPMI 2650 cells for permeability studies of small molecules.

The field of nasal drug delivery gained enormously on interest over the past decade. Performing nasal in vivo studies is expensive and time-consuming, but also unfeasible for an initial high-throughput compound and formulation screening. Therefore, the development of fast and high-throughput in vitro models to screen compounds for their permeability through the nasal epithelium and mucosa is constantly expanding.
