A Scientific Evaluation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Houttuynia cordata Thunb Saururaceae - A Case Study
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Pharmacy & Pharma. Sciences. Discipline of Pharmacy, 2021)Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the oldest medical systems in the world, still used for prevention or treatment of diseases in the modern China. It is a unique and holistic system, guided by ancient Chinese ... -
Selective PKCalpha inhibition uncouples platelet angiogenesis promotion from collagen-induced aggregation
(2013)Platelets promote angiogenesis by releasing angiogenesis-regulating factors from their α-granules upon aggregation. This effect has both physiologic and pathologic significance as it may contribute to carcinogenesis. ... -
Self-assembled hyaluronate/protamine polyelectrolyte nanoplexes: synthesis, stability, biocompatibility and potential use as peptide carriers
(2014)This work investigates a new type of polyelectrolyte complex nanocarrier composed of hyaluronic acid (HA) and protamine (PROT). Small (approximately 60 nm) and negatively charged nanoparticles (NPs) with a polydispersity ... -

Simulations of hydrodynamics in the paddle dissolution apparatus and dissolution from multi-layered compacts
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2003)Studies involving the calculation of dissolution rates from individual surfaces of large single component compacts, to assist in the prediction of dissolution rates from simple layered compact systems, revealed that ... -
Single oral dose study of two isosorbide-based aspirin prodrugs in the dog
(2003)The objective of this study was to compare two aspirin prodrugs, isosorbide diaspirinate (ISDA) and a nitroaspirin (ISMNA), with aspirin in terms of effects on dog platelet function after administration of a single oral ... -
Sodium-23 magnetic resonance imaging has potential for improving penumbra detection but not for estimating stroke onset time
(2015)Tissue sodium concentration increases in irreversibly damaged (core) tissue following ischemic stroke and can potentially help to differentiate the core from the adjacent hypoperfused but viable penumbra. To test this, ... -
Solid state characterisation of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients: co-crystal of a salbutamol hemiadipate salt with adipic acid (2:1:1) and salbutamol hemisuccinate salt
(Wiley, 2011)The production of salt or cocrystalline forms is a common approach to alter the physicochemical properties of pharmaceutical compounds. The goal of this work was to evaluate the impact of anion choice (succinate, adipate, ... -
Solid-state characteristics of pre- and post-spray dried active pharmaceutical ingredients, salts and co-crystalline forms
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2011)Salt or co-crystal formation is one of the methods of altering the physicochemical properties of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The drug characteristic can also be changed upon processing. This thesis focused ... -
Solubility of crystalline organic compounds in high and low molecular weight amorphous matrices above and below the glass transition by zero enthalpy extrapolation
(2014)Pharmaceutical applications which require knowledge of the solubility of a crystalline compound in an amorphous matrix are abundant in the literature. Several methods that allow the determination of such data have been ... -
Soluble beta amyloid evokes alteration in brain norepinephrine levels: Role of nitric oxide and interleukin-1
(2015)Strong evidence showed neurotoxic properties of beta amyloid (Aβ) and its pivotal role in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Beside, experimental data suggest that Aβ may have physiological roles considering that ... -
Stability and hydrolysis studies of novel dual acting conjugate drugs with anitcancer activity
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2011)Tamoxifen is currently a first-line endocrine therapy for the adjuvant treatment of Estrogen Receptor (ER) positive breast cancer. The antiestrogenic properties of this compound are related to its ability to compete for ... -
Stability of salmon calcitonin against trypsin, chymotrypsin and neutrophil elastase in human lung epithelial cells
(2010)At least three enzymes (i. e., trypsin, chymotrypsin and neutrophil elastase) are responsible for the degradation of salmon calcitonin (sCT) in the human body. Here, we investigated how these proteinases affect drug ... -
Stereoselective synthesis of novel tubulin inhibitors with diverse functionality for integration into molecular conjugates and designed multiple ligands
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2013)The principal objective of the work described in this thesis was the synthesis of a series of novel tubulin inhibitors, with defined stereochemistry and diverse functionality, suitable for the formation of molecular ... -
Steroid/mucokinetic hybrid nanoporous microparticles for pulmonary drug delivery
(2013)In a number of pulmonary diseases, patients may develop abnormally viscous mucus reducing drug efficacy. To increase budesonide diffusion within lung fluid, we developed nanoporous microparticles (NPMPs) composed of ... -
Stress-Related Immune Markers in Depression: Implications for Treatment
(2016)Major depression is a serious psychiatric disorder; however, the precise biological basis of depression still remains elusive. A large body of evidence implicates a dysregulated endocrine and inflammatory response system ...
