Poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) – poly(ethylene glycol) – poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) as a thermoreversible gelator for topical administration
(2020-05-06)Poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) – block– poly(ethylene glycol) – block– poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) is known to exhibit a thermally-induced solution-to-gel transition in water, which may be exploited for biomedical applications. ... -
Poly(triazolyl methacrylate) glycopolymers as potential targeted unimolecular nanocarriers
(2019-10-29)Synthetic glycopolymers are increasingly investigated as multivalent ligands for a range of biological and biomedical applications. This study indicates that glycopolymers with a fine-tuned balance between hydrophilic sugar ... -
Poly-glutamic dendrimer-based conjugates for cancer vaccination - a computational design for targeted delivery of antigens
(2017-08-10)Computational techniques are useful to predict interaction models and molecular properties for the design of drug delivery systems, such as dendrimers. Dendrimers are hyperbranched macromolecules with repetitive building ... -
Polyamine regulation of nitric oxide production in LPS-activated macrophages
(European Communities, 1999)Polyamines are physiological cellular constituents essential for cell growth and differentiation, and regulate a multitude of cellular functions (1-4). Nitric oxide (NO) is an effector molecule in both the cardiovascular ... -
Polyelectrolyte nanoparticles with high drug loading enhance the oral uptake of hydrophobic compounds
(2006-05)In the pharmaceutical industry, orally active compounds are required to have sufficient water solubility to enable dissolution within the gastrointestinal tract prior to absorption. Limited dissolution within the ... -
