Abstract
Aims: This study aimed to develop microparticles of N-phenyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide (PDA), a chloramphenicol derivative with potential antibacterial and anticancer properties, to improve drug release and selectivity while reducing toxicity.
Materials & methods: PDA microparticles were prepared via spray-drying using L-leucine, Trehalose, and Mannitol. The particles were characterized for size, drug release, antibacterial activity, and cytotoxicity against A549 cancer cells and fibroblasts.
Results: PDA formulations exhibited controlled release and enhanced selectivity for cancer cells. S1 showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus. L-leucine formulations had reduced toxicity to normal fibroblasts.
Conclusions: PDA microparticles offer potential as safer, targeted antibacterial and anticancer therapies, providing controlled release and reduced side effects.
期刊介绍:
Delivering therapeutics in a way that is right for the patient - safe, painless, reliable, targeted, efficient and cost effective - is the fundamental aim of scientists working in this area. Correspondingly, this evolving field has already yielded a diversity of delivery methods, including injectors, controlled release formulations, drug eluting implants and transdermal patches. Rapid technological advances and the desire to improve the efficacy and safety profile of existing medications by specific targeting to the site of action, combined with the drive to improve patient compliance, continue to fuel rapid research progress. Furthermore, the emergence of cell-based therapeutics and biopharmaceuticals such as proteins, peptides and nucleotides presents scientists with new and exciting challenges for the application of therapeutic delivery science and technology. Successful delivery strategies increasingly rely upon collaboration across a diversity of fields, including biology, chemistry, pharmacology, nanotechnology, physiology, materials science and engineering. Therapeutic Delivery recognizes the importance of this diverse research platform and encourages the publication of articles that reflect the highly interdisciplinary nature of the field. In a highly competitive industry, Therapeutic Delivery provides the busy researcher with a forum for the rapid publication of original research and critical reviews of all the latest relevant and significant developments, and focuses on how the technological, pharmacological, clinical and physiological aspects come together to successfully deliver modern therapeutics to patients. The journal delivers this essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats that are readily accessible to the full spectrum of therapeutic delivery researchers.
