A call for the standardised reporting of factors affecting the exogenous loading of extracellular vesicles with therapeutic cargos
(2021)Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are complex nanoparticles required for the intercellular transfer of diverse biological cargoes. Unlike synthetic nanoparticles, EVs may provide a natural platform for the enhanced targeting ... -
Carbohydrate-based Trojan microparticles as carriers for pulmonary delivery of lipid nanocapsules using dry powder inhalation
(2020)This study proposes lipid nanocapsules (LNCs)-based Trojan particles made by entrapping 59 ± 3 nm LNCs in carbohydrate-based microparticles via spray drying. This work focused on optimisation of maintenance of the nanocarrier ... -
Cardioprotective effect of MMP-2-inhibitor-NO-donor hybrid against ischaemia/reperfusion injury.
(2019)Hypoxic injury of cardiovascular system is one of the most frequent complications following ischaemia. Heart injury arises from increased degradation of contractile proteins, such as myosin light chains (MLCs) and troponin ... -
Carissa spinarum L.: A Case Study in Ethnobotany and Bioprospecting Research
(Intech Open, 2022)This study explores ethnobiological and bioprospecting research through the lens of Carissa spinarum L., using it as a case study to examine wider trends in such research. Hunn’s Phasing in Ethnobiology is used as a ... -
CdTe quantum dots induce activation of human platelets: implications for particle hemocompatibility.
(2015)New nanomaterials intended for systemic administration have raised concerns regarding their biocompatibility and hemocompatibility. Quantum dots (QD) nanoparticles have been used for diagnostics, and recent work suggests ... -
A Central Role for Monocyte-Platelet Interactions in Heart Failure
(2015)Heart failure (HF) is an increasingly prevalent and costly multifactorial syndrome with high morbidity and mortality rates. The exact pathophysiological mechanisms leading to the development of HF are not completely ... -
Characterisation and fundamental insight into the formation of new solid state, multicomponent systems of propranolol.
(2021)The physiochemical properties of acidic or basic active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can be optimised by forming salts with different counterions. The aim of this work was to synthesise a novel salt of propranolol ... -
Characterisation and manipulation of docetaxel resistant prostate cancer cell lines
(2011)Background: There is no effective treatment strategy for advanced castration-resistant prostate cancer. Although Docetaxel (Taxotere?) represents the most active chemotherapeutic agent it only gives a modest survival ... -
Characterisation, solubility and intrinsic dissolution behaviour of benzamide:dibenzyl sulfoxide cocrystal
(2012)This study examined the 1:1 cocrystal benzamide:dibenzyl sulfoxide, comprising the poorly water soluble dibenzyl sulfoxide (DBSO) and the more soluble benzamide (BA), to establish if this cocrystal shows advantages in terms ... -
Chemical composition and enzyme inhibition of Phytolacca dioica L. seeds extracts
(Frontiers, 2019)Phytolacca, which belongs to the family of Phytolaccaceae, are known for their use in popular medicine.Bioactivity of five extracts from Phytolacca dioica seeds were evaluated in four bioassays. A selected groupof compounds ... -
Chemistry and pharmacology of the kazakh crataegus almaatensis pojark: An asian herbal medicine
(2019)Crataegus almaatensis, an endemic ornamental plant in Kazakhstan is used in popular medicine due to its cardiotonic properties. The most studied species of the same genus are commonly found in Europe, which shows the ... -
Chemotherapy drug scheduling for the induction treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia
(2014)Leukemia is an immediately life-threatening cancer wherein immature blood cells are overproduced, accumulate in the bone marrow (BM) and blood and causes immune and blood system failure. Treatment with chemotherapy can ... -
Co-spray dried carbohydrate microparticles: crystallisation delay/inhibition and improved aerosolization characteristics through the incorporation of hydroxypropyl-?-cyclodextrin with amorphous raffinose or trehalose
(2015)PURPOSE: To formulate and investigate the physicochemical properties, physical stability and aerosolization characteristics of nanoporous/nanoparticulate microparticles (NPMPs) prepared by co-spray drying the sugars ... -
Cocrystal habit engineering to improve drug dissolution and alter derived powder properties
(2016)Objectives: Cocrystallization of sulfadimidine (SDM) with suitable coformers, such as 4-aminosalicylic acid (4-ASA), combined with changes in the crystal habit can favourably alter its physicochemical properties. The aim ...
