The possibility of inter-polymeric complexation of cationic chitosan and anionic egg albumin stabilized with PEG 400 to develop novel nanoparticles for oral delivery of alprazolam by heat coagulation method at pH 5.4 and 80 °C. Nine formulations were prepared by changing the concentration of chitosan, PEG 400 and heating time. The alprazolam entrapment efficiency of these nanoparticles was in the range of 68.12±1.27 to 99.37±4.86%. These nanoparticles were characterized by FTIR, DSC, P-XRD and FE-SEM analysis. Average particle diameter, poly-dispersity index and zeta potential of these nanoparticles were found 259.60 nm, 0.501, and -9.00 mV, respectively. The in vitro drug release from these alprazolam-loaded nanoparticles showed sustained drug release over a period of 24h. In conclusion, these newly developed chitosan-egg albumin-PEG nanoparticles were found to be a promising vehicle for sustained release delivery of lipophilic drugs.

A novel approach in fabricating anionic inter-polymeric complex polysaccharide bio-platform with enhanced mechanical, structural and chemical properties for burn wound dressings. This approach implies a facile, insitu method to design soft nano-floral inter-polymeric complexes. In particular, sodium alginate (SA) and kappa-carrageenan (k-Ca) treated silver salt results in nano-floral inter-polymeric complex with self-stability.

A series of pyrenyl-containing PDMAA copolymers were prepared by free radical copolymerization of dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) with pyrenebutanoyloxy ethyl methacrylate (PyBEMA). The structure of as-prepared copolymers was characterized by UV, FT-IR and H NMR spectroscopy. The effect of cyclodextrins (α-CD, β-CD and γ-CD) on the thermosensitivity and fluorescence of the copolymers in aqueous solutions were investigated.

VPg unlinkase is an unusual eukaryotic enzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond between residues of the unique tyrosine of VPg (viral protein genome-linked) and the 5;-terminal uridylic acid of picornavirus RNA. Cellular targets of the VPg unlinking enzyme are yet unknown. To determine an essential nucleic part of the covalent linkage unit that is necessary for the VPg unlinkase reaction, the following derivatives of the encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) VPg-RNA complex were used: [125I]Kp-pUpUpGp, [125I]Kp-pUp, and [125I]Kp-pU (Kp is residual peptides bound to RNA after proteinase K treatment of VPg-RNA).
