Olaparib-induced Adaptive Response Is Disrupted by FOXM1 Targeting that Enhances Sensitivity to PARP Inhibition
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2018-06-01)FOXM1 transcription factor network is activated in over 84% of cases in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), and FOXM1 upregulates the expression of genes involved in the homologous recombination (HR) DNA damage and ... -
A Semi-Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Model Describing the Altered Metabolism of Midazolam Due to Inflammation in Mice
(American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, 2018-06-21)Purpose To investigate influence of inflammation on metabolism and pharmacokinetics (PK) of midazolam (MDZ) and construct a semi-physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to predict PK in mice with inflammatory ... -
Antileishmanial Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of DB766-Azole Combinations
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017-10-23)Given the limitations of current antileishmanial drugs and the utility of oral combination therapy for other infections, developing an oral combination against visceral leishmaniasis should be a high priority. In vitro ... -
Understanding the monoclonal antibody disposition after subcutaneous administration using a minimal physiologically based pharmacokinetic model
(Canadian Society for Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2018-07-16)PURPOSE: Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are commonly administered by subcutaneous (SC) route. However, bioavailability is often reduced after SC administration. In addition, the sequential transfer of mAbs through the SC ... -
Non-toxic engineered carbon nanodiamond concentrations induce oxidative/nitrosative stress, imbalance of energy metabolism, and mitochondrial dysfunction in microglial and alveolar basal epithelial cells
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-02-14)Engineered nanoparticles are finding a wide spectrum of biomedical applications, including drug delivery and capacity to trigger cytotoxic phenomena, potentially useful against tumor cells. The full understanding of their ... -
Conjugates of Cell Adhesion Peptides for Therapeutics and Diagnostics Against Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2017)Overexpressed cell-surface receptors are hallmarks of many disease states and are often used as markers for targeting diseased cells over healthy counterparts. Cell adhesion peptides, which are often derived from interacting ... -
Effect of Lipid Headgroup Charge and pH on the Stability and Membrane Insertion Potential of Calcium Condensed Gene Complexes
(American Chemical Society, 2015-04-14)Noncovalently condensed complexes of genetic material, cell penetrating peptides (CPPs), and calcium chloride present a nonviral route to improve transfection efficiency of nucleic acids (e.g., pDNA and siRNA). However, ... -
Duloxetine in OsteoArthritis (DOA) study: study protocol of a pragmatic open-label randomised controlled trial assessing the effect of preoperative pain treatment on postoperative outcome after total hip or knee arthroplasty
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2016-03-01)Introduction Residual pain is a major factor in patient dissatisfaction following total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). The proportion of patients with unfavourable long-term residual pain is high, ... -
A Multidimensional Analytical Comparison of Remicade and the Biosimilar Remsima
(American Chemical Society, 2017-04)In April 2016, the Food and Drug Administration approved the first biosimilar monoclonal antibody (mAb) – Inflectra/Remsima (Celltrion) based off the original product Remicade (infliximab, Janssen). Biosimilars promise ... -
Improving Brain Delivery of Biomolecules via BBB Modulation in Mouse and Rat: Detection using MRI, NIRF, and Mass Spectrometry
(Ivyspring, 2017)There is an urgent need to develop new and alternative methods to deliver functional biomolecules to the brain for diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases. The goal of this study was to evaluate the activity of blood-brain ... -
The Rationale for Targeting the NAD/NADH Cofactor Binding Site of Parasitic S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine Hydrolase for the Design of Anti-parasitic Drugs
(Taylor & Francis, 2009-05)Trypanosomal S-adenoyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (Tc-SAHH), considered as a target for treatment of Chagas disease, has the same catalytic mechanism as human SAHH (Hs-SAHH) and both enzymes have very similar X-ray structures. ... -
Evaluation of NAD(H) analogues as selective inhibitors for Trypanosoma cruzi S-Adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase
(Taylor & Francis, 2009-05)S-Adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) hydrolases (SAHHs) from human sources (Hs-SAHHs) bind the cofactor NAD+ more tightly than several parasitic SAHHs by around 1000-fold. This property suggests the cofactor binding site of ... -
CD44-Tropic Polymeric Nanocarrier for Breast Cancer Targeted Rapamycin Chemotherapy
(Future Medicine, 2014-08)In contrast with the conventional targeting of nanoparticles to cancer cells with antibody or peptide conjugates, a hyaluronic acid (HA) matrix nanoparticle with intrinsic-CD44-tropism was developed to deliver rapamycin ... -
Target Nanodiamonds as Phenotype Specific Photoacoustic Contrast Agents for Breast Cancer
(Future Medicine, 2015-03)AIM: The aim is to develop irradiated nanodiamonds (INDs) as a molecularly-targeted contrast agent for high resolution and phenotype-specific detection of breast cancer with photoacoustic (PA) imaging. MATERIALS & METHODS: ... -
Prostate-targeted biodegradable nanoparticles loaded with androgen receptor silencing constructs eradicate xenograft tumors in mice
(Future Medicine, 2012-09)BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is the major cause of cancer death in men and the androgen receptor (AR) has been shown to play a critical role in the progression of the disease. Our previous reports showed that knocking down ... -
