The formulation of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) is challenging due to poor water solubility and rapid elimination of drugs in vivo. This study investigated the effects of complexing iron (Fe3+) to the HDACi suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and LAQ824 (LAQ) prior to their encapsulation into PEGylated liposomes, and investigated whether this technique could improve drug solubility, in vitro release and in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK) properties. METHODS.

To develop a non-radioisotopic alternative to radioactive Fe-59 as a hemoglobin iron tracer, we evaluated Fe-58 and neutron activation analysis (NAA). Upon irradiation with thermal neutrons, stable isotope Fe-58 is converted to radioactive Fe-59 through (n,gamma) neutron reaction; its radioactivity measured by a gamma counter is proportional to the original Fe-58 present. Organ samples from rats infused with Hb or saline were analyzed along with a 10 mg Hb as a standard (105 nanograms of Fe-58).

In addition to standard blood counts and serum iron tests, iron metabolism was investigated with Fe-59 whole body radiometry in a low-background camera. The treatment effect was assessed in 1.

During postnatal development of the pigeon, a large portion of the skeleton becomes pneumatized, displacing the hemopoietic bone marrow. The consequences of pneumatization on distribution and quantity of bone marrow as well as the availability of other sites for hemopoiesis have been investigated. Hemopoietic marrow of differently aged pigeons divided into five groups from 1 week posthatching (p.

One formulation of Tc-99m minmicroaggregated albumin (particle size 30-100 mn), produced the highest marrow concentration, approximately six times that of Tc-99m sulfur colloid, with similar blood, and liver concentrations and a lower splenic uptake. Nevertheless, the best colloid marrow uptake was lower than the 24-hr value for In-11 and much lower than that for Fe-59.
