Control Drug Release

Encapsulation is a process of enclosing the substances within an inert material which protects from environment as well as control drug release. Recently, two type of encapsulation has been performed in several research. Nanoencapsulation is the coating of various substances within another material at sizes on the nano scale. Microencapsulation is similar to nanoencapsulation aside from it involving larger particles and having been done for a greater period of time than nanoencapsulation. Encapsulation is a new technology that has wide applications in pharmaceutical industries, agrochemical, food industries and cosmetics. In this review, the difference between micro and nano encapsulation has been explained. This article gives an overview of different methods and reason for encapsulation. The advantages and disadvantages of micro and nano encapsulation technology were also clearly mentioned in this paper.

AbstractThe human ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCG2 is a key to anticancer resistance and physiological detoxification. However, the molecular mechanism of substrate transport remains enigmatic. A hydrophobic di-leucine motif in the ABCG2 core separates a large intracellular cavity from a smaller upper cavity. We show that the di-leucine motif acts as a valve that controls drug extrusion. Moreover, the extracellular structure engages the re-entry helix and all extracellular loops to form a roof architecture on top of the upper cavity. Disulfide bridges and a salt bridge limit roof flexibility, but provide a lid-like function to control drug release. We propose that drug translocation from the central to the upper cavities through the valve is driven by a squeezing motion, suggesting that ABCG2 operates similar to a peristaltic pump. Finally, the roof contains essential residues, offering therapeutic options to block ABCG2 by either targeting the valve or essential residues in the roof.

Mesoporous Silica Spheres

Mesoporous silica (MS) spheres of different sizes with pH-responsive characteristics were synthesized based on Stöber’s theory. Organic functionalization with aminopropyl and carboxyl groups resulted in different materials, namely, MS@NH2@COOH. MS@NH2@COOH were observed to have a large number of carboxyl groups and multiamine chains, and were grafted into pore channels and pore outlets through systematic characterization analyses. All modified samples demonstrated the controlling of the delivery rate of DOX from the siliceous matrix. We also compared the drug release behavior of the DOX-loaded materials at high pH (7.4) and low pH (5.5) and studied the cytotoxicity on A549 cells. The experimental results indicated that the drug delivery system can better control drug release and have potential applications in the drug delivery field.

In order to improve the stability, utilization ratio and anti-tumor effect of curcumin drug, a set of curcumin-loaded nanofiber membranes with drug releasing property were fabricated using silk fibroin and polyethylene glycol. Various curcumin-loaded silk fibroin nanofiber membranes with different components and drug loading percentages were prepared using electrospinning technology. The morphology structure, mechanical properties, secondary structure, drug release property in vitro, and their interaction effects of the curcumin-loaded silk fibroin nanofiber membranes were examined. The result of in-vitro drug release experiment showed that the curcumin can be released stably up to 350 hours, the drug releasing speed increased with the decrease of the diameter of the fibers. The stability and utilization ratio of curcumin was improved after loading with curcumin-loaded silk fibroin nanofiber membranes. In conclusion, it can be used as a control drug release system alternately in the future.

In the paper the results of control drug release from different forms of carriers are presented. Dibutyrylchitin, chitosan, polylactid acid and polycaprolactone have been used as matrices for delivery of therapeutic substances (ibuprofen and salicylic acid). Two configurations of matrices for drug delivery have been found. Flat drug delivery systems (films) and spherical matrices (beads) were tested in the aim of control drug transport. To control the drug release, matrices have been modified. The release of active substances from films has been tested in buffer solution of pH 5.5. Spherical matrices have been tested in buffer solutions of pH 1.4 and pH 7.2. To experimental data First order and two stage models were fitted.
