Only with appropriate coatings and coating techniques the use of nanoparticles is possible for biomedical applications. The appropriate choice of the coating material and techniques helps to render the particles biocompatible, colloidally and chemically st ...
A new quaternary β-carboline alkaloid, nostocarboline (I), was isolated from the freshwater cyanobacterium Nostoc 78-12A, and its constitution was assigned by 2D-NMR methods. The structure was proven by its total synthesis starting from norharmane via chlo ...
Amphiphilic block copolymers are well established as building blocks for the preparation of micellar drug carriers. Over the past decade, the effectiveness of such self-assembled drug delivery devices has been demonstrated numerous times. This review will ...
Drug-eluting stents are cardiovascular stents able to release a medical drug after implantation. The medical drug is, in general, aimed at healing the vascular tissues injured after implantation and to prevent restenosis. In spite of their apparent simplic ...
The information deduced from the genome sequence of Mycobacterium leprae is of immense value for the chemotherapy of leprosy. Knowing the complete set of genes, enzymes and proteins allows us to understand why some drugs are without effect whereas others a ...
A series of trans-platinum(IV) complexes with functionalized aromatic carboxylate ligands, cis,cis,trans-Pt(NH3)2Cl2(CO2C6H4R)2 (R = H (3), p-vinyl (4), p-methoxy (5), p-iodo (6), ...
The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of ancrod, a fibrinogenolytic protease from Malayan pit viper venom, locally delivered through a photopolymerized biodegradable hydrogel in preventing postoperative adhesions. The experimental ...
Because vascular occlusion has been observed as a consequence of photodynamic therapy (PDT), this method has been successfully used for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, most conventiona ...
Current therapy for several forms of anemia involves a weekly regime of multiple subcutaneous injections of recombinant human erythropoietin (hEpo). In an effort to provide a physiologically regulated administration of erythropoietin, we are developing cel ...
The pharmacokinetics of furosemide were investigated in anaesthetized horses with bilateral ureteral ligation (BUL) with (n = 5) or without (n = 5) premedication with phenylbutazone. Horses were administered an intravenous (i.v.) bolus dose of furosemide ( ...
