Ultrasound Triggered Release of Estrone- Targeted Liposomes
(2017-05)
The fight against cancer has proven to be a lengthy one. Conventional treatment of cancer usually involves chemotherapy, a therapy known for its detrimental side effects. Doxorubicin, a cytotoxic anthracycline antibiotic, ...
Distribution of Doxorubicin in Rats Undergoing Ultrasonic Drug Delivery
(Elsevier, 2010)
Ultrasound (US) increases efficacy of drugs delivered from micelles, but the pharmacokinetics have not been studied previously. In this study, US was used to deliver doxorubicin (Dox) sequestered in micelles in an in vivo ...
Preliminary Results of Combining Low Frequency Low Intensity Ultrasound and Liposomal Drug Delivery to Treat Tumors in Rats
(American Scientific Publishers, 2011)
Ultrasound is a convenient trigger for site-specific drug delivery in cancer therapy. Nanosized liposomes formulated from soy phosphatidyl choline, cholesterol, 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero- 3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[carboxy ...
The use of ultrasound to release chemotherapeutic drugs from micelles and liposomes
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
Several drug delivery systems have been investigated to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy by encapsulating the therapeutic agent in a nanosized carrier until it reaches the tumor site. Many of these particles are ...
Doxorubicin-encapsulated Albumin liposomes with acoustic triggering for cancer treatment
(2019-05)
With cancer being the leading cause of death worldwide, increasing economic and social resources are being directed by researchers and healthcare professionals to treat the disease, or at least provide palliative care to ...
Facile Ultrasound-Triggered Release of Calcein and Doxorubicin from Iron-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks
(American Scientific Publishers, 2020)
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising new nanocarriers with potential use in anticancer drug delivery. However, there is a scarcity of studies on the uptake and release of guest molecules associated with MOF ...
Improving the Efficacy of Anticancer Drugs via Encapsulation and Acoustic Release
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2018)
Conventional chemotherapeutics lack the specificity and controllability, thus may poison healthy cells while attempting to kill cancerous ones. Newly developed nano-drug delivery systems have shown promise in delivering ...
