Characterization of the distribution, polymorphism, and stability of nimodipine in its solid dispersions in polyethylene glycol by micro-Raman spectroscopy and powder x-ray diffraction
In the present study, a series of solid dispersions of the drug nimodipine using polyethylene glycol as carrier were prepared following the hot-melt method. Micro-Raman spectroscopy in conjunction with X-ray powder diffr...
L-methionine reduces oxidant stress in endothelial cells: Role of heme oxygenase-1, ferritin, and nitric oxide
The amino acid L-methionine is known to exert antioxidant effects by as yet unidentified mechanisms. In the present study, L-methionine led to a concentration-dependent induction of the antioxidant protein heme oxygenase...
CNS Delivery Via Adsorptive Transcytosis
Adsorptive-mediated transcytosis (AMT) provides a means for brain delivery of medicines across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is readily equipped for the AMT process: it provides both the potential for binding an...
Evaluating and Reporting the Immunogenicity Impacts for Biological Products—a Clinical Pharmacology Perspective
Immunogenicity assessment is important for biological products due to potential impacts of immunogenicity on safety and efficacy. We reviewed the prescribing information and the FDA’s clinical pharmacology review...
Transfection efficiency and toxicity of polyethylenimine in differentiated Calu-3 and nondifferentiated COS-1 cell cultures
In the present study, we evaluated polyethylenimine (PEI) of different molecular weights (MWs) as a DNA complexing agent for its efficiency in transfecting nondifferentiated COS-1 (green monkey fibroblasts) and well-diff...
