Release of Doxorubicin from Unstabilized and Stabilized Micelles Under the Action of Ultrasound
(American Scientific Publishers, 2007)
Polymeric micelles are being investigated as chemotherapy drug delivery carriers using ultrasound as a trigger mechanism. The aim of this paper is to measure the release of Doxorubicin (Dox) from the core of unstabilized ...
Modeling and Sensitivity Analysis of Acoustic Release of Doxorubicin from Unstabilized Pluronic P105 Using an Artificial Neural Network Model
(Adenine Press, 2007)
This paper models steady state acoustic release of Doxorubicin (Dox) from Pluronic P105 micelles using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Previously collected release data were compiled and used to train, validate, and test ...
Degradation kinetics of stabilized Pluronic micelles under the action of ultrasound
(Elsevier, 2009)
The majority of research in the area of acoustically-activated drug delivery from stabilized micelles has been focused on the rapid release of chemotherapy drugs from the core of such nano-carriers. Previous publications ...
The Use of Ultrasound and Micelles in Cancer Treatment
(American Scientific Publishers, 2008)
The high toxicity of potent chemotherapeutic drugs like Doxorubicin (Dox) limits the therapeutic window in which they can be applied. This window can be expanded by controlling the drug delivery in both space and time such ...
Using Artificial Neural Networks and Model Predictive Control to Optimize Acoustically Assisted Doxorubicin Release from Polymeric Micelles
(SAGE Publications, 2009)
We have been developing a drug delivery system that uses Pluronic P105 micelles to sequester a chemotherapeutic drug - namely, Doxorubicin (Dox) - until it reaches the cancer site. Ultrasound is then applied to release the ...
Role of frequency and mechanical index in ultrasonic-enhanced chemotherapy in rats
(Springer, 2009)
Purpose The therapeutic effect of ultrasound and micellar-encapsulated doxorubicin was studied in vivo using a tumor-bearing rat model with emphasis on how tumor growth rate is affected by ultrasonic parameters such as ...
