  • Liposomes to Augment Dialysis in Preclinical Models: a Structured Review
    pharmaceutics Review Liposomes to Augment Dialysis in Preclinical Models: A Structured Review Kevin Hart 1,*, Martyn Harvey 2, Mingtan Tang 3 , Zimei Wu 3 and Grant Cave 1 1 Intensive Care Unit, Hawkes Bay District Health Board, Hastings 9014, New Zealand; [email protected] 2 Waikato Hospital Emergency Department, Waikato District Health Board, Hamilton 3240, New Zealand; [email protected] 3 Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Pharmacy, University of Auckland, Auckland 1023, New Zealand; [email protected] (M.T.); [email protected] (Z.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In recent years, a number of groups have been investigating the use of “empty” liposomes with no drug loaded as scavengers both for exogenous intoxicants and endogenous toxic molecules. Preclinical trials have demonstrated that repurposing liposomes to sequester such compounds may prove clinically useful. The use of such “empty” liposomes in the dialysate during dialysis avoids recognition by complement surveillance, allowing high doses of liposomes to be used. The “reach” of dialysis may also be increased to molecules that are not traditionally dialysable. We aim to review the current literature in this area with the aims of increasing awareness and informing further research. A structured literature search identified thirteen papers which met the inclusion criteria. Augmenting the extraction of ammonia in hepatic failure with pH-gradient liposomes with acidic centres in peritoneal dialysis is the most studied area, with work progressing toward phase one trials. Liposomes used to augment the removal of exogenous intoxicants and protein- Citation: Hart, K.; Harvey, M.; Tang, bound uraemic and hepatic toxins that accumulate in these organ failures and liposome-supported M.; Wu, Z.; Cave, G.

  • Role of IV Lipid Emulsion Antidote
    Vet Times The website for the veterinary profession https://www.vettimes.co.uk Role of IV lipid emulsion antidote Author : Lotfi El Bahri Categories : General, Vets Date : March 28, 2016 The first animal reports suggesting an increased rate of recovery from barbiturate-induced CNS depression with lipid infusion were published in 19621. Encouraging results of animal studies, and successful use in human case reports, have demonstrated lipid emulsion has a potential role in the treatment of lipophilic molecules intoxications2. Background Image: Fotolia/Sherry Young. Lipid emulsion – also referred to as intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE), lipid resuscitation therapy, intravenous lipid emulsion rescue and intravenous fat emulsion – is known as a component of parenteral nutrition (ILE 30 per cent). It is also used as a carrier for lipid soluble drugs, such as propofol, etomidate and diazepam3,4. ILE is an injectable oil in water emulsion mixing long-chain and medium-chain triglycerides, or a combination of both, purified egg phospholipids as emulsifiers, anhydrous glycerol for the adjustment of tonicity, water for injection (with a pH of six to nine) and contains no preservatives3,4. ILE is available in concentrations ranging from 10 per cent to 30 per cent. Although purified 1 / 6 soybean oil is most commonly used as the major source of triglycerides, other sources are also used (such as olive oil and fish oil)3,4. The United States Pharmacopeia and the European Pharmacopoeia standards have established a globule size distribution limit for all lipid emulsions where the mean droplet size must be lower than 500 nanometres, and the percentage of fat larger than 5µm must be lower than 0.05 per cent5.

This article focuses on chemical synthesis approaches for peptides, and presents an overview of the methods available and in use currently, together with a discussion of scale-up strategies. Examples of the different methods are discussed, together with solutions to some specific problems encountered during scale-up development. Finally, an overview is presented of issues common to all manufacturing methods, i.e., methods used for the large-scale purification and isolation of final bulk products and regulatory considerations to be addressed during scale-up of processes to commercial levels. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Size, surface charge, and surface morphology of aDNP was determined by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. CpG was either loaded onto aDNP by adsorption (CpG-adsorbed-aDNP) or conjugated to aDNP (CpG-conjugated-aDNP). In vitro cytokine production by bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) was measured by flow cytometry. aDNPs size and zeta potential could be controlled to produce uniform particles in the size range of 50 to 300 nm, surface charge of 16.5 to +14 mV, and were spherical in shape.

  • Oxytocin Receptor OXTR
    Oxytocin Receptor OXTR The oxytocin receptor belongs to the G-protein-coupled seven-transmembrane receptor superfamily. Its main physiological role is regulating the contraction of uterine smooth muscle at parturition and the ejection of milk from the lactating breast. The oxytocin receptors are activated in response to binding oxytocin and a similar nonapeptide, vasopressin. Oxytocin receptor triggers Gi or Gq protein-mediated signaling cascades leading to the regulation of a variety of neuroendocrine and cognitive functions. Oxytocin is a nonapeptide of the neurohypophyseal protein family that binds specifically to the oxytocin receptor to produce a multitude of central and peripheral physiological responses. In vivo, oxytocin acts as a paracrine and/or autocrine mediator of multiple biological effects. These effects are exerted primarily through interactions with G-protein-coupled oxytocin/vasopressin receptors, which, via Gq and Gi, stimulate phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of phosphoinositides. www.MedChemExpress.com 1 Oxytocin Receptor Agonists & Antagonists Atosiban Atosiban acetate (RW22164; RWJ22164) Cat.
