In vitro and in vivo evaluation of transdermal iontophoretic delivery of hydromorphone

TL;DR: The narcotic analgesic, hydromorphone, was delivered by constant-current iontophoresis from aqueous solution through excised pig and human skin and from a hydrogel formulation into domestic pigs, finding the delivery rate per unit current was similar for both pig andhuman skin, even though the passive fluxes differed by a factor of six.

Pulsating pH-responsive nanogels.

TL;DR: A novel method is presented for the design of robust, sustained nanochemomechanical oscillators based on the switching of chemoresponsive nanogel beads between their collapsed and swollen state by coupling them to an appropriately chosen nonlinear reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of biocompatible nanoparticles by self-assembly of enzymatic hydrolysates of chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose.

TL;DR: The chitosan-carboxymethyl cellulose nanoparticles were stably suspended over 1 week even under low pH (pH 3.0), high ionic strength (NaCl 1 M), or low temperature (4 °C) conditions.

Single molecular mechanics of a cholesterol-bearing pullulan nanogel at the hydrophobic interfaces

TL;DR: The interaction forces of CHP nanogels to the hydrophobic HOPG (highly orientated pyrolytic graphite) or carbon-coated surfaces were measured and the debonding forces were shown to depend on the applied loading forces.

Mass transport enhancement by ultrasound in non-degradable polymeric controlled release systems.

TL;DR: It was found that drug release rates from polymeric matrices exposed to ultrasound, can be controlled by modifying parameters like: ultrasound frequency, molecular weight of the incorporated drug and structure of the polymeric matrix (size of pores in the network).
