Development of an in vitro co-culture model using Caco-2 and J774A.1 cells to mimic intestinal inflammation
Eur J Pharm Biopharm. 2024 Mar 1:114243. doi: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2024.114243. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn vitro models that mimic the pathophysiology in vivo are important tools to study mechanisms of disease and assess the pharmacology and toxicity of drugs. In this work, we report the development of a novel model of intestinal inflammation. This model is based on the co-culture of intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells and murine J774A.1 macrophages. The model is shown to mimic the intestinal barrier in both healthy and inflamed state. In the healthy state, without external stimulation, Caco-2 and J774A.1 cells were co-cult...

A systematic investigation of external lubrication of mini-tablets on a rotary tablet press with focus on the tensile strength
Eur J Pharm Biopharm. 2024 Feb 27:114236. doi: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2024.114236. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExternal lubrication is an alternative to internal lubrication and its related detrimental effects on properties of tablets like tensile strength (TS). However, to date there are hardly any systematic investigations on external lubrication of mini-tablets on rotary tablet presses. Aim of this study was the systematic investigation of the impact of parameters tableting pressure, tableting speed, dosing rate and air pressure on the TS of mini-tablets. Both studies, the Central Composite Design (CCD) with SMCC 90 and the s...

Development of cationic solid lipid nanoparticles incorporating cholesteryl-9-carboxynonanoate (9CCN) for delivery of antagomiRs to macrophages
Eur J Pharm Biopharm. 2024 Feb 26:114238. doi: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2024.114238. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLipid-based nanoparticles are a useful tool for nucleic acids delivery and have been regarded as a promising approach for diverse diseases. However, off-targets effects are a matter of concern and some strategies to improve selectivity of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) were reported. The goal of this study was to test formulations of SLNs incorporating lipid cholesteryl-9-carboxynonanoate (9CCN) as "eat-me" signal to target antagomiR oligonucleotides to macrophages. We formulate four SLNs, and those with a mean diamet...

Minimizing pain in deer antler removal: Local anaesthetics in ZnO nanoparticle based collagen dressings as a promising solution
In this study, we investigated the performance of a ZnO collagen nanocomposites loaded with local anesthetics to improve wound management and alleviate pain associated with antler removal in red deer. The research involved the preparation of collagen nanocomposites with local anesthetics and testing the drug release rates using in vitro drug release tests. Pharmacokinetic analysis was performed to evaluate the total drug release from the collagen matrix in red deer after velvet removal. Additionally, the analgesic efficacy of these collagen nanocomposite dressings was assessed after antler removal in red deer. Functionaliz...

Efficient polymeric nanoparticles for RNAi in macrophage reveal complex effects on polarization markers upon knockdown of STAT3/STAT6
In conclusion, we identify certain tyrosine-modified PEI- or PPI-based nanoparticles as particularly efficient for macrophage transfection, and the specific, siRNA-mediated STAT6 knockdown as a promising approach for macrophage repolarization and enhancement of their tumor cell suppressive role.PMID:38395176 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejpb.2024.114232 (Source: European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics)
