Abstract

In this paper, we systemly compared the two kinds of VP16 (etoposide) loaded polymers micelles, monomethyl poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (lactic acid) (MPEG-PDLLA) and monomethyl poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (ϵ-caprolactone) (MPEG-PCL) in vitro and in vivo. Molecular modeling study was used as a novel means to compare the two formulations. In vitro, the micelle samples were fully characterized by TEM, XRD, drug loading (DL), Encapsulation efficiency (EE), stability and MTT. The stability study revealed that MPEG-PDLLA-VP16 had the significant advantage of 100% drug retention within 48 h compared to MPEG-PCL-VP16 with 40%, conform to the computer simulation model results. Cellular uptake figured that MPEG-PDLLA-VP16 had a 7 times larger uptake rate in the H460 cell line. In vivo, pharmacodynamics results showed MPEG-PDLLA-VP16 perform no significant difference with VP16 clinical formulations (10, 20mg/kg). However, MPEG-PCL-VP16 had no difference between different dosages on anticancer activities. Plasma pharmacokinetics results showed that the two micelle formulations prolong the half-life of VP16 twice than that of VP16 clinical formulations. In conclusion, micelle were better choice for cancer treatment on reducing drug toxic. I...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

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. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
