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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
DNA damage induced by micellar-delivered doxorubicin and ultrasound: comet assay study
(Elsevier, 2000)
To minimize adverse side effects of chemotherapy, we have developed a micellar drug carrier that retains hydrophobic drugs, and then releases the drug by ultrasonic stimulation. This study investigated the DNA damage induced ...
Ultrasonic release of doxorubicin from Pluronic P105 micelles stabilized with an interpenetrating network of N,N diethylacrylamide
(Elsevier, 2002)
Pluronic P105 micelles sequester hydrophobic drugs and release them upon insonation with low frequency ultrasound; however these micelles dissolve relatively quickly upon dilution. The objective of this research was to ...
The Comet Assay to Determine the Mode of Cell Death for the Ultrasonic Delivery of Doxorubicin to Human Leukemia (HL-60 Cells) from Pluronic P105 Micelles
(Adenine Press, 2005)
This notes examines the mode of cell death of HL-60 cells exposed to 70 kHz and 1.3 W/cm2 ultrasound in the presence of 1% Pluronic P105 and 1.67 μg/ml doxorubicin (Dox). The cells were ultrasonicated for 30, 60, and 120 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Factors affecting acoustically triggered release of drugs from polymeric micelles
(Elsevier, 2000)
A custom ultrasonic exposure chamber with real-time fluorescence detection was used to measure acoustically-triggered drug release from Pluronic P-105 micelles under continuous wave (CW) or pulsed ultrasound in the frequency ...
