The preparation of calcium carbonate crystals in pluronic F68 solution

Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2012
Abstract Nonionic pluronic amphiphilic triblock copolymer F68 was employed to control the growth of calcium carbonate in a biomineralization process. The effects of the concentrations of F68, Ca2+ and CO32−, pH values and temperatures were investigated systematically. The as-obtained CaCO3 particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (

Effects of Pluronic F68 on Manganese Peroxidase Production by Pelletized Phanerochaete chrysosporium

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2011
In this study, a new process was developed for manganese peroxidase (MnP) production by Phanerochaete chrysosporium under an agitated and aerated cultivation condition. It was found that change of the inoculum from spore suspension to pellets resulted in enhanced MnP production of 200 U/L in rotated shake flasks.

Drug release from Pluronic F68 hydrogels

Physics of Fluids
The evaluation of drug percutaneous absorption plays a pivotal role in assessing the efficacy of dermal/transdermal drug delivery systems. Drug therapies rely on biomedical systems capable of precisely regulating drug dosage, controlling the rate of drug release, and mitigating the common side effects associated with many drug delivery formulations ...

Impact of Pluronic® F68 on hollow fiber filter-based perfusion culture performance

Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering, 2017
High cell density is an important factor in achieving high bioreactor productivity. To meet the oxygen demand with density at >100 × 106 cells/mL, a frit sparger is often used. In this study, the impact of Pluronic® F68 on a perfusion process using a frit sparger was studied.

The Cardiovascular Effects of the Surfactant Pluronic F68 in Anesthetized Dogs

1990
We tested the cardiovascular actions of the surfactant Pluronic F68 by infusing it into anesthetized dogs, in doses approximating those which would be received when Fluosol-DA were used to resuscitate moderate or severe hemorrhage (0.66 and 1.11 g/Kg).

Harmine-loaded galactosylated pluronic F68-gelucire 44/14 mixed micelles for liver targeting

Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy, 2019
Harmine (HM), a phytoconstituent has wide range of pharmacological activities including antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidative, and anticancer. HM has shown promising anticancer activity against liver cancer cells. However, poor aqueous solubility, multidrug pump P-gp efflux, extensive in vivo metabolism, and rapid elimination due to glucuronidation ...

A new stable pluronic® F68 gel carrier for antibiotics in contaminated wound treatment

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1997
Pluronic F68 was selected as the gel carrier for antimicrobial agents because of its extensive use as a wound cleanser in humans without discernable side effects. When the concentration of this surfactant is increased to 46%, it forms a water soluble gel that can serve as a carrier for antimicrobial agents.

Pluronic F68-Linoleic Acid Nano-spheres Mediated Delivery of Gambogic Acid for Cancer Therapy

AAPS PharmSciTech, 2016
Gambogic acid (GA), a natural compound from gamboge resin, has been introduced as a promising antitumor drug contributing to its broad spectrum of antitumor activity. However, the poor aqueous solubility and short half-life hinder its clinical application.

Adsorption of antibody onto Pluronic F68-covered nanoparticles: link with surface properties

Soft Matter, 2011
The use of nanoparticles as drug delivery systems is an emerging application to improve intravenous therapy. Controlling the biocompatibility of the nanoparticles is a crucial step towards the optimal implementation of these systems. Adsorption of serum components onto the nanoparticles is driven mainly by hydrophobic forces.
