To mitigate this limitation, in this four-part study expandable, gastroretentive fibrous dosage forms that deliver drug into the gastric fluid (and into the blood) at a controlled rate for prolonged time are presented. The dosage form comprises a cross-ply structure of water-absorbing, high-molecular-weight hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) based fibers coated with a strengthening, enteric excipient. The intervening spaces between the coated fibers are solid annuli of dispersed drug particles in a low-molecular-weight HPMC-based excipient matrix. The central regions of the annuli are open channels. In this part, models are developed for dosage form expansion, post-expansion mechanical strength, and drug release. The models suggest that upon immersing in a dissolution fluid, the fluid percolates the open channels, diffuses into the annuli and the coated fibers, and the dosage form expands. The expansion rate is inversely proportional, and the post-expansion mechanical strength proportional to the volume fraction of the coating. Drug particles are released from the annuli as the surrounding excipient dissolves. The drug release rate is proportional to the concentration of low-molecular-weight HPMC at the annulus/dissolution fluid interface. The dosage forms can be readily designed for expansion in a few hours, formation of a high-strength viscoelastic mass, and drug release at a constant rate over a day.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14187,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmaceutics","volume":"674 ","pages":"Article 124360"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141442664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The released drug molecules flow into the duodenum with the gastric fluid, and are absorbed by the blood. The drug is eliminated from the blood by the liver at a rate proportional to its concentration. Thus, as the drug concentration in blood increases due to absorption, the elimination rate increases, too, and will eventually be the same as the absorption rate, so that the drug concentration in blood plateaus out.

Anticoagulant therapy, a critical component of antithrombotic treatment, thus plays a key role in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Unfortunately, existing anticoagulation treatments still face many challenges, including abnormal bleeding, allergic reactions, and drug resistance. To identify novel technologies for addressing these issues and explore the latest research developments in the field of anticoagulation, this paper reviewed the advances of anticoagulant factor-loaded nanoplatforms firstly. These systems can precisely deliver anticoagulant drugs to specific targets, improving drug bioavailability and reducing unnecessary systemic side effects. Subsequently, the paper delved into the development of anticoagulant technologies, including the advancements in biocompatible anticoagulant nanomaterials, the application of DNA origami technology, and the progress in external energy-mediated anticoagulation strategies. A common feature of these engineered anticoagulation systems is their ability to modulate the dynamic balance of anticoagulant factors in the body without relying on traditional drugs, enabling more personalized and efficient anticoagulation effects. Finally, the paper examined novel precision anticoagulation strategies that combine biomedical engineering technologies with precision anticoagulation therapy. These strategies can tailor anticoagulation treatments to the specific pathological conditions of individual patients, such as thrombin activity, thereby reducing the risk of excessive anticoagulation. In conclusion, the engineered anticoagulation therapy strategies proposed in this paper represent cutting-edge advancements in anticoagulation medicine, providing more precise and safer solutions for the treatment of thrombotic diseases, and offering important theoretical and practical guidance for future personalized medicine and precision therapies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14187,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmaceutics","volume":"676 ","pages":"Article 125596"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143847706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study introduces an LDLR-Orlistat Targeted Nanoparticles (LDLR-OTNs) to enhance cancer cell uptake via LDLR-mediated endocytosis. The objectives include synthesizing lipid-based orlistat nanoparticles, functionalizing them with an 11-mer LDLR-binding peptide, assessing uptake and cytotoxicity in three LDLR- and FAS-expressing breast cancer cell lines (BT-474, MDA MB 453, MCF-7), and comparing uptake kinetics with non-targeted nanoparticles.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Orlistat nanoparticles (ONs) were synthesised via rapid solvent exchange, producing uncoated ONs, POPC-coated ONs (POPC-ONs), and LDLR-targeted ONs (LDLR-OTNs).

Currently, the development of nanoparticle vaccines involves the use of various types of nanoparticles, including liposomes, polymers, inorganic materials, and emulsions. Protein nanoparticles candidate vaccines are attracting increasing attention because of their unique antigen presentation methods and self-assembly characteristics during their development, leading to a broad consensus on their promising future. Naturally self-assembling protein nanoparticles, such as ferritin, enhance antigen presentation, which aids in the activation of both humoral and cellular immune responses. This has led to significant advancements in the study of hepatitis B virus. Meanwhile, some synthetically engineered protein nanoparticles, such as mi3, and I53-50, can induce higher antibody titers through chemical conjugation with the SpyTag-SpyCatcher system, thereby providing better immunoprotection and showing promising prospects in the prevention of H1N1 and H3N2 influenza virus infections.
