Recommended: Experiments to characterise Nanogels

3. Common tests to characterize Nanogels:

3.1In vitro
Also known as “test tube experiment” it is a study done outside the living organism. The main aim of preforming this study is to either assess the toxicity, the release behavior and/or the physical property of the drug. In our paper we will be reviewing different articles that conducted in vitro study to assess the properties of nanogels.

3.1.1Toxicity profile assessment:
MTT colorimetric assay:
A colorimeteric cleavage assay that helps in assessing cell survival and proliferation, also it can aid in quantifying macrophage-mediating cytotoxicity. MTT assay is a highly sensitive and reproductive method, it doesn’t require presence of radioactive compounds, easy to perform and quantify and it’s a rapid method.(Ferrari et al., 1990)
A study was conducted on doxorubicin (DOX) and doxorubicin poly(N-isopropylacylamide-co-acrylic aid) (PNA) conjugates to assess their cytotoxicity …show more content…

Mechanical shaking was applied and the concentration of DOX was assessed by the use of UV/VIS spectrophometer. The results showed that as the PH decrease, the drug release increases, proofing that GCS-g-DEAP nanogel are sensitive to the change in PH. Therefore GCS-g-DEAP nanogel can be useful in targeting cancer associated with acidic PH.(Muk Oh et al., 2010)
3.2Invivo
On the other handin vivo study is done within the living organism. The aim of preforming this study is to evaluate the effect produced by the drug on the body (pharmacodynamics) as well as the effect of the body on the drug (pharmacokinetics). This study provides more appropriate prospective on the overall effect on the living subjects. We will be reviewing the invivo tests done on nanogels in some published articles.

In vitro: Treatment of MM cells with SRT1720 inhibited growth and induced apoptosis in MM cells resistant to bortezomib therapy without significantly affecting the viability of normal cells. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that anti-MM activity of SRT1720 is associated with activation of caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, poly(ADP) ribose

Though there are hundreds of medications available to prescribing doctors knowing which one to give in certain situations is where the mystery begins. Testing antibiotics allows providers to learn more about the bacteria they are working with as well as the individual who would be ingesting the medicine. If any antibiotic was given and no results appeared then not only was the provider wasting their time but the patient is as well and they are more than likely still sick. By conducting antibiotic testing it confirms the susceptibility or detects resistance (Oxford, 2009). There were four different antibiotics were used to determine what would be the best option for Terrance.

Silver Nanoparticles Effect On Bacteria

224 Words | 1 Pages

In this experiment, we are testing “Antibacterial Activity and Mechanism of Silver Nanoparticles on E. Coli.” We will examine three things throughout this experiment; Will Silver Nanoparticles will cause the E. Coli to grow? How much silver nanoparticles are needed to cause growth?, and How much Silver Nanoparticles to destroy the E. Coli? We hypothesis that about 10ug/ml of the silver nanoparticles will cause the E. Coli to grow and about 45ug/ml Silver Nanoparticles to destroy the bacteria.

The alternatively activated43,22,55,59 M2 macrophage is anti-inflammatory44, and is characterised by a circular appearance30, low IL12 and IL23 with high IL10 as well as an increase in the expression of mannose and galactose receptors and the metabolism of arginine through arginase to ornithine and polyamine43,20,27,63,18. Arginase is known to help decrease lymphocyte proliferation1. M2 also have increased urea production, CD180, CD163, TREM2 and stabilin expression and decreased TNF-α, CD40 and CD86 expression27,29,30. M2 macrophages have various subtypes25,27,30,43,55,18,20,18. Subtype M2A is induced by Th2 responses, IL4 and IL13, M2B is induced by immune complexes and TLR and subtype M2C is induced by IL10, TGF-β and glucocorticoids25,30,55,20.

Nanotechnology During The 1900s

1134 Words | 5 Pages

Throughout the 1900s, there were new ideas that were both accepted and rejected as useful and realistic. Nanotechnology, radio, and plastic were all developed during this time period and were presented in different ways. The ways in which these new technologies are presented and imagined greatly effects its future. The timing of innovations, the speed of its upheaval, its usefulness in society, and economic impacts are critical factors in the development of technologies. On the other hand, the development of wooden airplanes was not as successful because of the process in which this advancement was researched and applied.

Zebrafish: An Ideal Model

197 Words | 1 Pages

Zebrafish is an ideal model for evaluating the drug development, toxicity testing of nanoparticles and high throughput screening of lead molecules in pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences. Furthermore, due to transparency, zebrafish embryo have been extensively studied to evaluate genetic manipulations [21]. Zebrafish embryos were used to investigate the developmental toxicity of both normal and drug coupled AuNPs. The survival rate was expressed as the number of embryos that had hatched by 96 h post fertilization, as compared with the control group [Fig. 5A (i)].The mortality level was indicated by the dead embryos 96 h post fertilization as compared to the control group [Fig.

Gelatin: An Argumentative Analysis

108 Words | 1 Pages

The low antigenicity, biodegradable nature, and cell-binding properties of collagen make it valuable for tissue engineering applications. In parallel, Gelatin is biocompatible, non-immunogenic and bioresorbable. Although, gelatin lacks the structural characteristics of collagen but it has higher solubility and lower cost relative to collagen. Gelatin/CaPs nanocomposites with enhanced mechanical properties and better cell attachment have also been reported. The gelatin/HAP nanostructured scaffolds exhibited mechanical strength comparable to the spongy bone with an excellent capacity of cell attachment, migration and penetration into the pores of the nanocomposite.

Pathogens In Fruit Flies

Traditional chemotherapy targets not only the rapidly diving abnormal cells, but the above mentioned cells too. The unwanted targeting of white blood cells causes cancer patients to become immunocompromised. More recent discoveries revealed that tumours can be targeted by using drugs to attack cells based on their molecular composition and structure rather than their rapidly diving nature. Gefitinib, imatinib, trastuzumab, cetuximab, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin are among the most recently developed cancer therapies that target cancerous cells specifically due to their molecular structure. In 1998, trastuzumab, a “recombinant DNA-derived humanised monoclonal antibody” (Abou-Jawde et al.) became an FDA approved treatment for breast

4) Polysulfone (PSU)[6] The foaming behavior of PSU foams is very similar to that of COC discussed above. PSU is potentially useful for high temperature applications. Cell nucleation density as high as 1015 cells/cm3 can be achieved with PSU foams. Thus cell sizes in the nanocellular range (20-30 nm) can be achieved. Foaming is carried out by the solid state foaming process.

The data of this experiment demonstrate that hard gelatin capsules are a modern dosage form for medicinal use, stemming from the increased emphasis on pharmacokinetics found in drug development today. This has considerably expanded the range of possible formulations utilizing hard gelatin capsules as simple dosage form for oral drug delivery. Nowadays, modern capsule-filling machines can produce up to 200,000 capsules an hour and are also capable of filling in a number of different substances in a single process run (Stegemann, 2002). Spray drying involves pumping a concentrated liquid through a device that forms small droplets that are sprayed into hot air to force rapid drying and produce a fine powdered product.
