Ex Vivo Permeation of Carprofen Vehiculated by PLGA Nanoparticles through Porcine Mucous Membranes and Ophthalmic Tissues
(1) Background: Carprofen (CP), 2-(6-chlorocarbazole) propionic acid, is used as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-pyretic agent and it belongs to the family of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). CP has ...
Reply to 'Comment on López-Yerena et al. 'Absorption and intestinal metabolic profile of oleocanthal in rats' Pharmaceutics 2020, 12, 134'
Recently, in February 2020, we published a study exploring the intestinal absorption and metabolism of oleocanthal (OLC) in rats. A single-pass intestinal perfusion technique (SPIP) was used, involving simultaneous sampling ...
Nanostructured materials for photodynamic therapy: synthesis, characterization and in vitro activity
Three nanostructured vehicles are proposed as potential carriers for photosensitizers to be used in photodynamic therapy: spherical nanoparticles, hexahedral microparticles and cylindrical magnetic nanorods. A comparative ...
Memantine for the treatment of dementia. A review on its current and future applications
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the presence in the brain of extracellular amyloid-β protein (Aβ) and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles composed of hyperphosphorylated tau ...
Ultra rapid in vivo screening for anti-Alzheimer anti-amyloid drugs
More than 46 million people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer's disease. A large number of potential treatments have been proposed; among these, the inhibition of the aggregation of amyloid β-peptide (Aβ), considered one of ...
Memantine loaded PEGylated biodegradable nanoparticles for the treatment of glaucoma
Glaucoma is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disease associated with retinal ganglion cells (RGC) loss. Increasing reports of similarities in glaucoma and other neurodegenerative conditions have led to speculation that ...
Multifunctional Serine Protease Inhibitor-Coated Water-Soluble Gold Nanoparticles as a Novel Targeted Approach for the Treatment of Inflammatory Skin Diseases
The overexpression and increased activity of the serine protease Kallikrein 5 (KLK5) is characteristic of inflammatory skin diseases such as Rosacea. The use of inhibitors of this enzyme¿such as 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzenesulfonyl ...
The Involvement of Peripheral and Brain Insulin Resistance in Late Onset Alzheimer's Dementia
