In the present study, four new pegylated drugs were synthesized to investigate the anticancer activity. All the compounds were characterized on the basis of FTIR and 1HNMR. The new compounds were evaluated against HCT116 cell line by CellTiter-Glo® 3D cell viability assay. The sustained release pattern of newly synthesized compounds were also evaluated, slow released lasts for 240 h which was confirmed by in vivo and in vitro drug release profile. The sustained and controlled release behavior of pegylated drugs over the extended period of time showed a linear profile and this release pattern was not limited to diffusion process instead supporting chemically controlled release pattern which was dependent only on how fast the compound hydrolyzed. The newly designed pegylated drugs showed almost same killing effect against the cancer cells as the free drugs. The compounds with lower cLogP value showed more antiproliferative (lower IC50) effect due their higher cell permeability.

Fluorine-19 (19F) can provides critical information about the mobility of the drug and drug uptake in cancer tissue when used together with 19F Magnetic Resonance Imaging (19F MRI) in vitro or in vivo. This review is aimed at the current limitations of drugs such as quantitative visualization during treatments of tumor cells. The main rationale about the utility of 19F MRI is visualization of fluorinated drug and fluorine conjugates on the cellular in vitro and in vivo levels.

The targeted drug delivery has been studied as one of the main methods in medicine to ensure successful treatments of diseases. Pharmaceutical sciences are using micro or nano carriers to obtain a controlled delivery of drugs, able to selectively interact with pathogens, cells or tissues. In this work, we modified bovine serum albumin (BSA) with lactose, obtaining a neoglycan (BSA-Lac). Subsequently, we synthesized glyconanoparticles (NPBSA-Lac) with the premise that it would be recognized by microbial galactose specific lectins. NPBSA-Lac were tested for bio-recognition with adhesins of E. coli K88 and Ricinus communis agglutinin I (RCA). Glycation of BSA with lactose was analyzed by electrophoresis, infrared spectroscopy and fluorescence. Approximately 41 lactoses per BSA molecule were estimated. Nanoparticles were obtained using water in oil emulsion method and spheroid morphology with a range size of 300-500 nm was observed. Specific recognition of NPBSA-Lac by RCA and E. coli K88 was displayed by aggregation of nanoparticles analyzed by dynamic light scattering and atomic force microscopy. The results indicate that the lactosylated nanovectors could be targeted at the E. coli K88 adhesin and potentially could be used as a transporter for an antibacterial drug.

The purpose of the studies was to estimate efficiency of delivering nebulised drugs into the lower respiratory tract through endotracheal tubes (ET tubes) which are commonly used in the treatment of uncooperative patients. Water solution of Disodium Cromoglycate (DSCG) was nebulised with a constant air flow (25 l/min). Experimental studies were done for eight ET tubes with varying sizes (internal diameter, length) and made of two different materials. Size distribution of aerosol leaving ET tubes was determined with the use of aerosol spectrometer. Fine Particle Fraction (FPF) and Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD) were calculated for the aerosol leaving each tube. Additionally, mass of the Disodium Cromoglycate deposited into each endotracheal tube was determined. ET tubes can significantly influence the parameters of delivered aerosol depending on their diameter. FPF of aerosol delivered in to the respiratory tract is lower if small endotracheal tubes are used. However, MMAD and FPF for large endotracheal tubes are almost identical with MMAD and FPF from nebuliser. The results indicate that a substantial fraction of large droplets is eliminated from the aerosol stream in long endotracheal tubes (270 mm). In this case the mass of drug delivered through ET tubes is reduced but the content of small droplets increases (high value of FPF).

This review aims to present magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) for applications in cellular therapeutics including descriptions of the use of 19F MRI and 19F MRS in drug tracking and visualization. Both MRI and MRS are often used as diagnostic tools in oncology, are non-invasive, and also can be employed for monitoring non-oncological and oncological therapies. Herin, we provide information pertaining to tracking and visualization of fluorinated drug uptake in cancer tissue in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo. The response of tissue to treatment is also discussed.
