Book Potential Drug Delivery Agents for MacRomolecular Drugs

Download or read book Potential Drug Delivery Agents for MacRomolecular Drugs written by Addai-Mensah Donkor and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory and principles of gene delivery for therapeutic function have been well documented. Even though viral vectors, weighed against non-viral vectors such as lipoplexes and polyplexes, are far more competent in bringing about cellular transfection, inherent immunity problem compromise their protective use in vivo. Although vulnerabilities consist of mutational insertion hazard and exposure, potentially leading to oncogenicity, large scale production of viral vectors as such might also represent an impediment. Though less efficient, particularly in vivo, both lipoplexes consisting of a complex of nucleic acids and cationic lipids, and polyplexes, composed of cationic polymers and nucleic acids, are considered to be immunologically inert, and importantly safer than viral vectors for in vivo use. In view of the fact that they are also comparatively easy to produce and to amend chemically for enhancement of transfection efficiency, research efforts in this potential area have been significantly augmented over the last decade. Therefore, the accomplishment of non-viral gene therapy depends on a vital approach on novel efficient lipids.

Book Safe and Effective Methods for Improving the Oral Delivery of Macromolecules

Download or read book Safe and Effective Methods for Improving the Oral Delivery of Macromolecules written by Kathryn Ann Whitehead and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2007 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oral delivery is a convenient and patient-friendly route of drug administration compared to injections. Unfortunately, the oral route cannot be utilized for macromolecules due to their low oral bioavailability. This limitation is particularly aggravated for proteins and peptides because of their susceptibility to enzymatic degradation in the gastrointestinal tract and low permeability across the intestinal epithelium. In order to overcome such challenges, a novel method has been developed that utilizes mucoadhesive intestinal patches to deliver therapeutic doses of drug into systemic circulation. Intestinal patches were capable of securely adhering to the intestinal epithelium, localizing a drug near the mucosa, protecting it from proteolytic degradation, and releasing drug in a unidirectional manner. In vivo experiments performed via jejunal administration demonstrated that intestinal patches loaded with insulin were able to achieve therapeutic results comparable to those obtained by subcutaneous injection.
