Circular Dichroism (CD) uses the absorption properties of optically active substances to analyze the molecular structure of drugs. It has very valuable applications in drug analysis, including:1. Identification of Drug StereochemistryMany drug molecules are chiral, and their activity, metabolism, and toxicity can significantly differ due to stereochemistry. CD can differentiate the different ...
This platform employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating principles from nanotechnology, chemistry, biology, and engineering to develop sophisticated drug delivery systems. ...
The field of pharmaceuticals has seen rapid advancements in drug delivery technologies in recent years, one of which is long-lasting controlled-release microspheres technology. This technology involves the use of microscopic particles to deliver drugs in a controlled and sustained manner over an extended period of time. By encapsulating drugs within these microspheres, pharmaceutical companies ...
Imagine tiny bubbles, smaller than a red blood cell, carrying powerful medicines directly to diseased cells. This isn't science fiction, it's the cutting edge of drug delivery with drug-loaded liposomes. What are liposomes? Liposomes are microscopic spheres made from phospholipids, the same fatty molecules that make up cell membranes. These phospholipids naturally arrange themselves in ...
Introduction Advancements in medical technology have led to innovative solutions for various healthcare challenges. One breakthrough is microneedle patch technology, holding immense promise in revolutionizing drug delivery. These patches consist of micron-sized needles that painlessly penetrate the skin's outermost layer, enabling the controlled release of medications or therapeutic agents. In ...
In the field of medicine, effectively delivering drugs to the target site in the body is crucial for successful treatment. Over the years, several innovative drug delivery systems have been developed to improve drug efficacy and patient outcomes. In this article, we will discuss four novel drug delivery systems that have shown promising results in recent research. These systems include ...
Microneedle patch technologies have revolutionized the field of drug delivery, offering a wide range of advantages over traditional methods. These innovative patches provide a minimally invasive and painless alternative to injections while ensuring precise and controlled drug administration. In this article, we will explore various types of microneedle patch technologies, including ...
Liraglutide and exenatide are both belonging to the class of diabetes products called GLP-1 analogues. The GLP-1 analogues have established themselves in the past years as one of the superior drug classes for treatment of diabetes type II in terms of blood glucose lowering and weight loss. Because of the latter, they are being used more and more also in the treatment of obesity. Until now, both ...
Due to the amphiphilic nature of lipids in liposomes, they can serve as candidate vehicles for drug delivery, and liposomes have received more attention than other systems because of their remarkable ability to deliver drugs to their target sites. Advantages of Liposomes as Drug Delivery Vehicles l As drug delivery vehicles, liposomes have low toxicity and immunogenicity, and the high ...
Liposomes are a novel drug delivery system (DDS). They are bimolecular vesicles that form spontaneously when phospholipids are dispersed in water. Liposomes vary in size, composition and charge and can be used as carriers for a wide range of drug molecules, such as chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial and antiviral drugs, antiparasitic drugs, genetic material, vaccines, therapeutic proteins, ...
Futura Medical has announced positive results from a clinical trial looking into MED3000, a topical gel formulation for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). The results, from the confirmatory phase 3 clinical study, FM71, were announced today (August 31). MED3000 is a breakthrough, fast-acting gel produced by Futura Medical’s transdermal DermaSys drug delivery technology. It is ...
Poorly managed healthcare can be directly attributed to extensive drug regimens. Numerous chronic illnesses and epidemics such as HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis require elaborate drug regimens for efficacious therapeutic outcomes. Various drug delivery systems have been developed to simplify their regimental drug therapy. However, more effective and innovative drug delivery technologies are required ...
