Improved anti-breast cancer activity by doxorubicin-loaded super stealth liposomes.

PEGylation is currently used for the synthesis of stealth liposomes and to enhance the pharmacokinetic and biopharmaceutical properties of payloads. PEGylated dendron phospholipids can decrease the detachment of polyethylene glycol (PEG) from the liposomal surface owing to an increased hydrophobic anchoring effect on the phospholipid bilayer of liposomes and thus generating super stealth liposomes that are suitable for the systemic delivery of anticancer drugs. Herein, doxorubicin hydrochloride-loaded super stealth liposomes were studied for the treatment of breast cancer lung metastasis in an animal model.

OX26-cojugated gangliosilated liposomes to improve the post-ischemic therapeutic effect of CDP-choline.

Cerebrovascular impairment represents one of the main causes of death worldwide with a mortality rate of 5.5 million per year. The disability of 50% of surviving patients has high social impacts and costs in long period treatment for national healthcare systems.

HPLC-DAD validated method for DM4 and its metabolite S-Me-DM4 quantification in biological matrix for clinical and pharmaceutical applications.

The present study focuses on the development and validation of an HPLC-DAD methodology for the detection of a potent chemotherapeutic agent, Maytansinoid Ravtansine (DM4), and its metabolite, S-methyl-DM4 (S-Me-DM4), in plasma samples. Methodologically, after a simple protein precipitation with acetonitrile and after drying 1 mL of supernatant, the sample (suspended with N,N-Dimethylacetamide, DMA) was directly analyzed by HPLC under isocratic elution using a mobile phase comprising milliQ water and methanol (25:75, v:v), both acidified with 0.1 % v:v formic acid.

Applications of electrophoresis for small enantiomeric drugs in real-world samples: Recent trends and future perspectives.

Separation and identification of chiral molecules is a topic widely discussed in the literature and of fundamental importance, especially in the pharmaceutical and food fields, both from industrial and laboratory points of view. Several techniques are used to carry out these analyses, but high-performance liquid chromatography is often the "gold standard." The high costs of chiral columns, necessary for this technique, led researchers to look for an alternative, and capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a technique capable of overcoming some of the disadvantages of liquid chromatography, often providing comparable results in terms of sensitivity and robustness.

LC-MS/MS Application in Pharmacotoxicological Field: Current State and New Applications.

Nowadays, it is vital to have new, complete, and rapid methods to screen and follow pharmacotoxicological and forensic cases. In this context, an important role is undoubtedly played by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) thanks to its advanced features. This instrument configuration can offer comprehensive and complete analysis and is a very potent analytical tool in the hands of analysts for the correct identification and quantification of analytes.
