New Carrier Materials for Particles Drug Delivery System of Irinotecan Hydrochloride / 中国药学杂志

OBJECTIVE: To prepare micelle drug delivery system of irinotecan hydrochloride, which could reduce its side effects and improve the therapeutic effects. METHODS: Firstly, the irinotecan hydrochloride was prepared as phospholipid compound to improve the lipophilicity. The synthesized polycaprolactone-polyethylene glycol copolymer was used as carrier material, then the phospholipid complex of irinotecan hydrochloride was wrapped to prepare a polymer micelle drug delivery system. The optimum prescription and preparation process of micelle drug delivery system of irinotecan hydrochloride were screened by the method of single factor combined with orthogonal test. RESULTS: The liposoluble of phospholipid compound of irinotecan hydrochloride was obviously increased compared with active compound. The irinotecan hydrochloride micelle was spherical and its particle size distribution was uniform. The average entrapment efficiency was 61.32%, and the average drug loading was 2.88%. CONCLUSION: Through this method, the particle size of irinotecan hydrochloride is small and the quality is controllable, and it is hopeful to increase the drug concentration at the target site.

Enhancers on the transmembrane transport of chlorogenic acid / 药学学报

To investigate the influence of the difference enhancers on the transport mechanism of chlorogenic acid (CGA) across Caco-2 cells model, a RP-HPLC method was adopted to detect the concentrations of CGA. At the concentrations of 20 to 80 microg x mL(-1), the difference of absorption rate constants (K(a)) was not statistically significant. At the concentrations of 40 and 20 microg x mL(-1), the ratios of apparent permeability coefficients (P(app)) of the apical to basolateral and the basolateral to apical were 1.14 and 1.18, respectively. With the effect of enhancers K(a) and P(app) increased, the absorption half-life (T1/2) decreased. CGA passed through the Caco-2 cell membrane mainly by passive transport. It showed that monocarboxylic acid transporter (MCT) could be involved in the across membrane transport process of CGA. Borneol had no effect on the cell membrane transport processes. The order of increasing absorption of CGA caused by the enhancers was sodium lauryl sulphate > sodium taurocholate > carbomer.

Recent development of targeted drug delivery system / 药学学报

Targeted drug delivery can significantly increase the concentration of the drug in treatment site, and decrease the dosage of drugs, cost of treatment and the drug's adverse effects on the body. So targeted drug delivery is the hotspot of recent studies. This paper reviews the development of targeted drug delivery research in recent years, including three areas: passive targeting, active targeting, and physical and chemical targeting.
