Abstract:

23% of the worldwide cancer-related death rate is due to lung cancer, more than the sum of breast, colon and prostate cancer. A great deal in common for almost each cancer type, including lung cancer, is an overexpression of the apoptosis inhibitor survivin. For improving the chemotherapy several strategies were performed. Previously, ultrasound sensitive nanobubbles containing paclitaxel, survivin-siRNA and survivin inhibitor sepantronium bromide (YM155), respectively, were developed against A549 lung cancer cells. The paclitaxel-loaded nanobubbles had a particle size of 309nm and a zeta potential of 34mV, the paclitaxel and YM155 loaded nanobubbles had a particle size of 57nm and a ZP of 47mV, while the PTX and siRNA loaded nanobubbles had a particle size of 252nm and a ZP of 27mV. The cytotoxicity studies revealed promising results and encouraged for further investigations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the siRNA complexation, serum stability, gene silencing efficiency, and Apoptosis. The developed nanobubbles were able to form a complex with survivin-siRNA and protected the siRNA from nucleases. The gene silencing efficiency and Apoptosis were evaluated, with and without ultrasound exposure, by qPCR and Apoptosis kits and showed that NB formulations were able to silence survivin expression and induce apoptosis in the A549 cell line.

Abstract:

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive primary adult brain tumor with only 14.6 months of median survival. Carrier nanoparticles have emerged as a novel strategy for chemotherapeutic delivery, yet penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and tumor retention remain significant hurdles. The evolution of paramagnetic nanoparticles (PMNPs) shows promise for reliable, magnetically-targeted drug delivery, and coupled with a lipopolysaccharide-coating (LPS-PMNPs) allows for concurrent, reversible BBB disruption.

Methods: Luciferase-expressing GBM6 cells were implanted intracranially in nu/nu immunodeficient mice to model GBM in two experiments. First, bioluminescence assays (BLIs) characterized tumor growth postoperatively in cohorts administered LPS-PMNPs, inert PNMPs (OA-PMNP), or saline intravenously at four weeks. Magnets were positioned external to the tumor for one-hour post-injection. Subsequent BLIs trended tumor growth with survival. The second experiment involved LPS-PMNPs, OA-PMNPs, or saline injection postoperatively, followed by magnetic localization. Afterward, Evans blue dye (EBD) was administered as an albumin-bound marker of BBB breakdown. The mice were perfused, the tumors homogenized, and the dye extracted for spectrophotometric assessment. 
 
Results: Tumor size doubled every 5.8 days, and mice expired at a mean 52 days. LPS-PMNPs reduced BLI signal three days post-injection compared to both OA-PMNPs and saline (p=0.02). This effect was reversed six days post-injection (p=0.39). EBD was significantly extravasated in LPS-PMNP-treated tumors compared to all other tumors (p=0.011). No immediate particle-associated adverse reactions occurred and survival was similar between all groups (p=0.27) with a trend toward survival between the LPS group and highest-dose PMNP group (53.5 vs. 47.8 days, p=0.12).
 
Conclusion: The BBB can be safely and reversibly disrupted for targeted permeability of large molecules in a model of GBM. LPS induces transient disruption of bioluminescence of tumors and increases tumor absorption of albumin-bound EBD. Future work will start with packaging known chemotherapeutics not normally BBB permeable in LPS-PMNPs to determine delivery efficacy and anti-neoplastic effects on survival.

Abstract:

The conventional drug delivery system is the absorption of the drug across a biological membrane, whereas the targeted release system releases the drug in a dosage form. Novel Drug Delivery System (NDDS) refers to the approaches, formulations, technologies, and systems for transporting a pharmaceutical compound in the body as needed to safely achieve its desired therapeutic effects. Whereas the Targeted drug delivery, sometimes called smart drug delivery is a method of delivering medication to a patient in a manner that increases the concentration of the medication in some parts of the body relative to others. The goal of a targeted drug delivery system is to prolong, localize, target and have a protected drug interaction with the diseased tissue. It has advantages like the reduction in the frequency of the dosages, having a more uniform effect of the drug, reduction of the adverse effect of drugs and reduced fluctuation in circulating drug levels. The disadvantage of the system is high cost, which makes productivity more difficult and the reduced ability to adjust the dosages. Newer intravenous drugs used for TIVA having a short duration of action so, fast recovery to maintain plasma level and to achieve the constant targeted level of sedation, analgesia, and anaesthesia targeted release system is useful which releases the drug in a dosage form. I will discuss a review of target controlled infusion total intravenous anaesthesia in India.

Title: Nanocarrier with reversibly hydrophobized co-drugs for treating aggressive neuroblastoma

Time : 15:25-15:50

Speaker
Biography:

David Guerrero in 2015, joined the research team of Dr. Michael Chorny at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia working on new drug delivery systems for treating arterial restenosis and cancer. Among other projects, he has worked on developing new strategies to target and treat aggressive pediatric solid tumors using polymeric nanoparticles formulated with novel mutual prodrugs (co-drugs). His research has contributed to a recent paper in Clin Cancer Res on enhanced intratumoral delivery of camptothecin-mitocan co-drugs for the treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma.

 

Abstract:

Nanomedicine-based delivery strategies have the potential to improve the therapeutic performance of a variety of anticancer agents. However, their clinical translation has been hampered by difficulty in achieving stable drug entrapment within nanocarriers, together with controlled release directly in the tumor tissue. In this study, we evaluated an experimental strategy that combines in situ activatable camptothecin-mitocan fusion molecules (co-drugs) and sub-100nm sized biodegradable nanoparticles (NP) derived using a nanoprecipitation-based formulation process. A series of reversibly hydrophobized co-drugs of a potent camptothecin agent, SN38, with tocol mitocans exhibiting a range of hydrolytic activation rates were encapsulated in 85±36nm sized NP with high efficiency (93±2% entrapment yield) using the optimized procedure. NP loaded with a phenolic ester co-drug were found to be most effective against both chemo-naïve and chemoresistant NB cells under conditions modeling different levels of exposure experienced by NB cells within the tumor. Phenolic carbonate and aliphatic ester designs were found to be notably less efficient. In an in-vivo model of previously untreated disease [IMR-32 orthotopic xenograft], nanocarriers with phenolic ester co-drug administered over 4 weeks [10mg/kg, twice a week] induced tumor regression and completely inhibited tumor growth over a 26-week period. The same co-drug/nanocarrier formulation tested against multidrug-resistant NB [BE(2)-C orthotopic xenograft] potently suppressed tumor growth and extended animal survival up to 7 weeks, in contrast to a marginal and transient effect of the clinically used SN-38 precursor, irinotecan [event-free survival of 3 weeks vs. 2 weeks in ‘no treatment’ and drug-free NP groups]. We conclude that camptothecin-mitocan co-drugs can be rationally designed as therapeutic cargoes for nanocarrier-based therapy of aggressive malignancies. The co-drug/nanocarrier combination strategy proven effective in preclinical testing experiments in this study holds promise as a treatment for high-risk NB and potentially can be extended to other pediatric and adult solid tumors

Abstract:

Transdermal drug delivery refers to a system in which a fixed amount of drug is delivered across the skin over a period of time to the bloodstream so as to maintain a therapeutic level of that drug. This method of drug delivery is painless and has excellent compliance in both pediatric and geriatric age group as it is pain-free and hassle free and does not need any specialized equipment for its use. Transdermal method of drug delivery has a great many advantages over other conventional routes of drug administration such as oral, intramuscular, intravenous. Medication applied in form of a fixed-dose adhesive patch that is applied to the skin surface and is absorbed through the pores of the skin and delivered in the bloodstream in a controlled way. The main objective of this painless route of administering a drug is to provide a therapeutic dose level of drug in the bloodstream with the minimal patient to patient variation while limiting the side effects if the same were to be administered by any other route.

Biography:

Gershon Golomb is a Full Professor of Pharmaceutics at the School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His works for many years has focused on drug delivery systems. His studies have developed controlled-release implantable and injectable drug/gene delivery systems; from hypothesis to in-vivo studies. He is an expert in targeted nanoparticles (polymeric-based and liposomes) for the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and inflammatory-associated pathologies.

 

Abstract:

The mononuclear phagocytic system (MPS) is a part of the immune system that consists of phagocytic cells, primarily monocytes, and macrophages. Both circulating monocytes and neutrophils phagocyte debris, and foreign particles in the blood including particulate drug delivery systems. Inflammation characterizes several pathological disorders including cardiovascular disorders and cancer, and the inflammatory cascade involves significant infiltration of phagocytic cells. The propensity of monocytes for rapid phagocytosis of particulate matter provides a rational approach for delivering drugs in inflammatory-associated disorders. In this presentation, we will review therapeutic as well as diagnostic approaches mediated via specially designed nanoparticles (NPs), which are avidly internalized by circulating monocytes. Monocytes can serve as a courier of specific NPs to the CNS, bypassing the blood-brain barrier (BBB), effectively transporting drugs that are brain- impermeable. Liposomal delivery of quantum dots (QDs) enables an efficient fluorescent signal with no toxicity, in animal models of cardiovascular and cancer disorders. In addition, we will present recent results, unpublished, on the accumulation and retention of QDs in a mammary carcinoma model, following systemic administration, in comparison to passive delivery by the enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR). The developed NPs delivery systems represent a novel approach for effective theranostic of inflammatory-associated disorders including cardiovascular, brain, and cancer diseases.

Abstract:

The evaluation of pharmaceutical raw materials and finished products for impurities and degradation products is an essential part of the drug development and manufacturing testing process. Additionally, toxicological information must be obtained on any drug-related impurity that is present at a concentration of greater than 0.1% of that of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). In pharmaceutical QC and manufacturing, impurity analysis has traditionally been performed by HPLC with UV, PDA, or MS detection. As it is essential to detect and measure all of the impurities in the sample, it is necessary to have a high-resolution separation process. This usually involves long analysis times resulting in low throughput. As candidate pharmaceutical compounds become more potent and are dosed at lower and lower levels, ever more sensitive assays are needed to detect and measure impurities. The low throughput of HPLC can become the rate-limiting step in product release testing or process evaluation. Since much of the process of impurity identification involves the coupling of LC to sophisticated MS, any reduction in analysis time will result in more efficient use of these significant investments. Analytical technology advances such as UPLC and UPC offer significant improvements in throughput and sensitivity, with benefits to the process of product release and identification of drug-related impurities. The most characteristic feature of the development in the methodology of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis during the past 25 years is that HPLC became undoubtedly the most important analytical method for identification and quantification of drugs, either in their active pharmaceutical ingredient or in their formulations during the process of their discovery, development, and manufacturing.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research study was formulation development and in-vitro characterization of orodispersible tablets of Piroxicam and Lidocaine HCl along with the development and validation of the novel method of simultaneous estimation of both the drugs on HPLC. The aim was to develop a product that will provide immediate relief from the pain of dental origin, due to the local action of lidocaine in the mouth and also produce long-lasting analgesia by piroxicam after absorption. Orodispersible tablets of Piroxicam and Lidocaine HCl were developed by direct compression method. FTIR spectroscopy was used to study drug-drug and drugs-excipients compatibility. The FTIR spectra showed that there was no interaction between the two drugs and also between the drugs and excipients which proved that all the ingredients are compatible. The assay method for simultaneous estimation of both the drugs on HPLC was developed successfully. The developed method was also validated by following ICH guidelines.
