Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of neat chitosan (CS) and its derivatives with succinic anhydride (CSUC) and 2-carboxybenzaldehyde (CBCS) as appropriate nanocarriers for ocular release of timolol maleate (Tim). Drug nanoencapsulation was performed via ionic crosslinking gelation of the used carriers and sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP). Nanoparticles with size ranged from about 190 to 525 nm were prepared and it was found that the formed size was directly depended on the used carrier and their ratios with TPP. For CS derivatives it was found that as the amount of TPP increased, the particle size increased too, while both derivatives proceeded to nanoparticles with smaller size than that of neat CS. The interactions between carriers and TPP were studied theoretically using all-electron calculations within the framework of density functional theory (DFT). In most of nanoparticles formulations, Tim was entrapped in amorphous form, while the drug entrapment efficiency was higher in CBCS derivative.It was indicated that Tim release rate depended mainly on the used carrier, particle size of prepared nanocarriers and drug loading. From the theoretical release data analysis, it was found that the Tim release...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
