RESUMEN

In the present study, water-soluble hybrid selenium-containing nanocomposites have been synthesised via soft oxidation of selenide-anions, preliminarily generated from elemental bulk-selenium in the base-reduction system 'N2H4-NaOH'. The nanocomposites obtained consist of Se0NPs (4.6-24.5 nm) stabilised by κ-carrageenan biocompatible polysaccharide. The structure of these composite nanomaterials has been proven using complementary physical-chemical methods: X-ray diffraction analysis, transmission electron microscopy, optical spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering. Optical ranges of 'emission/excitation' of aqueous solutions of nanocomposites with Se0NPs of different sizes are established and the most important parameters of their luminescence are determined. For the obtained nanocomposites, the expressed antiradical activity against free radicals 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid has been found, the value of which depends on the size of selenium nanoparticles. It is experimentally revealed that all obtained nanocomposites are low toxic (LD50 >2000 mg/kg). It is also found that small selenium nanoparticles (6.8 nm), in contrast to larger nanoparticles (24.5 nm), are accumulated in organisms to significantly increase the level of selenium in the liver, kidneys, and brain (in lesser amounts) of rats.

RESUMEN

The microcapsules with entrapped herbal water-soluble extracts Plantago major and Calendula officinalis L. (HE) were prepared by LbL-adsorption of carrageenan and modificated chitosan onto CaCO3 microparticles with their subsequent dissolving after the treatment of EDTA. Entrapment of HE was performed by adsorption and co-precipitation techniques. The co-precipitation provided better entrapment of HE compared to adsorption. In vitro release kinetics in an artificial gastric juice (AGJ) was studied. The HE release was shown to accelerate gastric ulcer treatment in a rat model.

RESUMEN

The partially cyclized mu/nu-carrageenan 1C3, isolated from the red seaweed Gigartina skottsbergii, was previously shown to be a potent inhibitor of the in vitro replication of Herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1) and 2 (HSV-2). Here the protective effect of 1C3 in a murine model of intraperitoneal ( i. p.) HSV-1 infection was evaluated. OF1 mice were i. p. infected with 5 x 10 (5) PFU of HSV-1 KOS strain, and the effects of different treatments with 1C3 were studied. When 30 mg/kg of body weight of 1C3 was administered by the i. p. route immediately after HSV-1 infection, 87.5 % survival of the animals was achieved (p < 0.005), associated with a delay in the mean day of death in 1C3-treated non-surviving mice. Animal survival was not improved when multiple doses of 1C3 were also given in the period 1 - 48 h post-infection, and no protection was afforded when treatment was started after 24 h of infection. When virus and compound were injected by different routes, i. p. and intravenous ( i. v.), respectively, a still significant protection was achieved (40 % survival, p < 0.05). No toxicity of 1C3 for the animals was recorded. The pharmacokinetic properties were analyzed after injection of 1C3 into the tail vein by monitoring of [ (3)H]-1C3 in plasma and organs and by a bioassay of the anti-HSV-1 activity remaining in serum after non-radioactive 1C3 inoculation. A very rapid disappearance of the compound from the blood was observed since only 5.9 - 0.9 % of the radioactivity of the initially administered [ (3)H]-1C3 appeared in the plasma between 5-300 minutes after administration. A transient peak of radioactivity was detected in the kidney 15 minutes after inoculation. The bioassay confirms the presence of the compound circulating in a biologically active form up to 1 hour after injection.

RESUMEN

The objective of this study was to attempt to deliver glipizide from spheres and compacts containing the natural polymer Carrageenan (Gelcarin, GP 812) and prepared by extruder/marumerizer technique. A second objective was to evaluate the mucoadhesive strength of the bioadhesive spheres onto the mucus membrane of rabbit. The effects of polymer, drug level, and type of spheronizing material were evaluated. All sphere formulations were compacted into tablets using a rotary Manesty B-3B machine equipped with 12/32 flat face tooling. Results show drug release from spheres and compacts decreased as the level of Carrageenan was increased. However as the level of drug was increased drug release also increased. Spheres containing Avicel PH-101 gave higher drug release than spheres of the same composition but prepared with Avicel RC-581. In general, the drug release from tablets was higher than its corresponding spheres and drug release from spheres and tablets containing Carrageenan was higher than control spheres and tablets of the same composition but without Carrageenan. Tablet formulations compacted from spheres containing Avicel RC-581 gave higher release rate constants than tablet formulations of the same composition but prepared with Avicel PH-101. The bioadhesion study showed that mucoadhesion strength between spheres and mucus membrane of the rabbit depends on the levels of polymer, drug, and type of spheronizing material. Developed bioadhesive spheres and tablets increase the solubility of glipizide which may increase its bioavailability and also increased the adherence of the bioadhesive systems to the mucous membrane so that once daily dose can be administered.

RESUMEN

Although natural gums and their derivatives are used widely in pharmaceutical dosage forms, their use as biodegradable polymeric materials to deliver bioactive agents has been hampered by the synthetic materials. These natural polysaccharides do hold advantages over the synthetic polymers, generally because they are nontoxic, less expensive, and freely available. Natural gums can also be modified to have tailor-made materials for drug delivery systems and thus can compete with the synthetic biodegradable excipients available in the market. In this review, recent developments in the area of natural gums and their derivatives as carriers in the sustained release of drugs are explored.

RESUMEN

In order to understand the neuronal mechanisms involved in acute and chronic pain, we studied the thalamic and cortical control action, which allows the suppression of the neuronal responses to noxious stimulation. As an experimental pain model we used carrageenin injected in the paw of male Wistar rats. The tonic facilitatory cortical control on centralis lateralis thalamic nuclei (CL) activity is described at different times after carrgeenin-produced inflammation. Simultaneous extracellular unit recordings were carried out at CL and medial prefrontal cortex (PCx) cells in anesthetized male Wistar rats. The PCx control was tested by blocking in a transient and reversible manner, using the cortical spreading depression (CSD). Carrageenin injection (1 percent; 0.2 ml) into the plantar surface of the right hind paw, and the influence of Lidocaine (2 percent; 0.2 ml) applied in the inflamed paw, was tested on unit activity in PCx and CL cells. Thalamic cells recorded in acute and subacute stages (24-72 h aftercarrageenin administration) were activated by tactile, light pressure and joint movement stimulation yielded before the injection. After carrageenin, the thalamic cells displayed spontaneous high frequency burst discharges, also presenting a progressive and significant increase (p < 0.001, ANOVA test) of their spontaneous firing when rate when compared with control cell activity. Lidocaine reduced the enhanced activity induced by carrageenin in thalamic neurones (p < 0.001, Student t test). In PCx neurones were also recorded in acute and subacute stages. Cortical cells from acute and subacute group were activated by nociceptive and non-nociceptives stimulation. In acute stage, cortical cells increased their firing rate after carrageenin and we could not observe modifications upon their firing rate due to Lidocaine. The CSD blocked all cortical activity in acute subacute stages. During the CSDs, overall thalamic activity was suppressed in neurones from acute (91 percent) and subacute (87 percent) stages. The blockage was observed when the propagated weve produced by CSD arrived into the medial prefrontal cortex. the CSD also suppressed the PCx and the CL noxious responses evoked by pressure in the receptive field. This study show the tonic facilitatory control of the PCx upon intralaminar thalamic noxious responses, during acute and subsacute stages of carrageenin produced inflammation. In the literature, it has been proposed that the CL thalamic...
