Journal ArticleDOI
Suppression of Intestinal Polyposis in ApcΔ716 Knockout Mice by Inhibition of Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2)
Masanobu Oshima,Joseph E. Dinchuk,Stacia Kargman,Hiroko Oshima,Bruno C. Hancock,Elizabeth Kwong,James M. Trzaskos,Jilly F. Evans,Makoto Mark Taketo,Makoto Mark Taketo +9 more
TL;DR: Results provide direct genetic evidence that COX-2 plays a key role in tumorigenesis and indicate that COx-2-selective inhibitors can be a novel class of therapeutic agents for colorectal polyposis and cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics and Significance of the Amorphous State in Pharmaceutical Systems
Bruno C. Hancock,George Zografi +1 more
TL;DR: The amorphous state is critical in determining the solid-state physical and chemical properties of many pharmaceutical dosage forms and some of the most common methods that can be used to measure them are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
What is the true solubility advantage for amorphous pharmaceuticals
Bruno C. Hancock,Michael Parks +1 more
TL;DR: Amorphous pharmaceuticals are markedly more soluble than their crystalline counterparts, however, their experimental solubility advantage is typically less than that predicted from simplethermodynamic considerations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular mobility of amorphous pharmaceutical solids below their glass transition temperatures.
TL;DR: In the temperature range studied the model amorphous solids were in a transition zone between regions of very high molecular mobility above Tg and very low molecular mobility much further below Tg, which should be expected to experience significant molecular mobility at temperatures up to fifty degrees below their glass transition temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between the glass transition temperature and the water content of amorphous pharmaceutical solids.
Bruno C. Hancock,George Zografi +1 more
TL;DR: It was found that there is a rapid initial reduction in the glass transition temperature from the dry state as water is absorbed, followed by a gradual leveling off of the response at higher water contents, indicating that water acts as a plasticizer in a way similar to that of other small molecules and not through any specific or stoichiometric interaction process(es).
