Mathematical modeling of intraperitoneal drug delivery: simulation of drug distribution in a single tumor nodule

open access: yesDrug Delivery, 2017
The intraperitoneal (IP) administration of chemotherapy is an alternative treatment for peritoneal carcinomatosis, allowing for higher intratumor concentrations of the cytotoxic agent compared to intravenous administration. Nevertheless, drug penetration

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

A 3D CFD model of the interstitial fluid pressure and drug distribution in heterogeneous tumor nodules during intraperitoneal chemotherapy

open access: yesDrug Delivery, 2019
Although intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) has evolved into an established treatment modality for patients with peritoneal metastasis (PM), drug penetration into tumor nodules remains limited.

High-Throughput Dissolution/Permeation Screening —A 96-Well Two-Compartment Microplate Approach

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2019
Early formulation screening can alleviate development of advanced oral drug formulations, such as amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs). Traditionally, dissolution is used to predict ASD performance.

Successful use of axonal transport for drug delivery by synthetic molecular vehicles

open access: yes, 2008
We report the use of axonal transport to achieve intraneural drug delivery. We constructed a novel tripartite complex of an axonal transport facilitator conjugated to a linker molecule bearing up to a hundred reversibly attached drug molecules.

Comparison of human hepatoma HepaRG cells with human and rat hepatocytes in uptake transport assays in order to predict drug induced hepatotoxicity

open access: yes, 2013
Human hepatocytes are the gold standard for toxicological studies but they have several drawbacks, like scarce availability, high inter-individual variability, a short lifetime, which limits their applicability.

Transcriptional regulation and impact of ABC-transporters in intestinal cell lines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The intestine has an important role in facilitating and limiting absorption of drugs. Since the intestine forms a barrier to the external, epithelial cells have several properties to protect the body from microorganisms and toxins, and to control uptake ...

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified

Comparison of Metformin PBPK Models Incorporating Placental Transfer to Predict Fetal and Maternal Exposure

open access: yesCPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology
Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling of placental drug transfer is an evolving tool for predicting fetal drug exposure. In this study, a pregnancy‐specific metformin PBPK model was developed, and the following four approaches were ...

Anticancer drug delivery with transferrin targeted polymeric chitosan vesicles

open access: yes, 2004
The study reports the initial biological evaluation of targeted polymeric glycol chitosan vesicles as carrier systems for doxorubicin (Dox). Transferrin (Tf) was covalently bound to the Dox-loaded palmitoylated glycol chitosan (GCP) vesicles using ...
