Novel ultra-rapid freezing particle engineering process for enhancement of dissolution rates of poorly water-soluble drugs

TL;DR: An understanding is provided of how the solvent's physical properties and the thin film geometry influence the freezing rate and consequently the final physico-chemical properties of URF-processed powders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advanced Materials for Co‐Delivery of Drugs and Genes in Cancer Therapy

TL;DR: Key advances in drug and gene delivery are summarized with focus on the development of polymers, peptides, liposomes and inorganic materials as nanocarriers for co‐delivery of small molecular drugs and macromolecular genes or proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanoparticles-mediated drug delivery approaches for cancer targeting: a review.

TL;DR: The article highlights recent developments in “smart”-stimulus-responsive-drug carriers designed to enhance the localization and efficacy of therapeutic payloads as compared with free drug.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spray-dried indomethacin-loaded polyester nanocapsules and nanospheres: development, stability evaluation and nanostructure models.

TL;DR: The dynamic properties of these systems allowed to suggest that the structure of the nanosphere particle was a polymeric matrix dispersing the sorbitan monostearate which, when submitted to the spray-drying process in the presence of SiO(2), gave nanostructures presenting diameters around 80 nm covering the microparticles due to the release of lipophilic surfactant from thepolymeric matrix.

Indomethacin-loaded nanocapsules treatment reduces in vivo glioblastoma growth in a rat glioma model

TL;DR: Results show that polymeric nanocapsules are able to increase the intratumoral bioavailability of indomethacin and reduce the growth of implanted gliomas and suggest that indometHacin-loaded nanocapules could offer new and potentially highly effective strategies for the treatment of malignant glioma.
