약물 전달 시스템(Drug Delivery System; DDS)이란 기존 의약품의 부작용을 최소화하고 효능 및 효과를 최대화 시켜 약물을 효율적으로 전달하도록 제형을 설계하고 약물치료를 최적화하는 기술을 말한다. 약물전달은 전달경로, 약물의 종류 및 전달기술의 형태에 따라 구분될 수 있으며 지금까지의 약물전달소재는 유기소재로서 생체 분해성과 친화성을 갖는 천연 또는 합성고분자를 전달체로 하여 경구형, 경피투여형, 흡입형 그리고서방형 주사제 등이 이용되고 있다.(중략)

관상동맥 경화나 말초 혈관 동맥 경화 등이 발생한 경우 스텐트를 이용한 치료나 혈관 접합술(bypass grafting surgery)에 의한 치료를 하게 된다. 그러나 많은 경우 치료 부위에 발생한 혈관 조직에의 손상으로 인해 재협착(restenosis)이나 폐색(occlusion)이 일어나 환자의 생명을 위협하는 치명적인 결과를 유발하는 경우가 종종 발생한다. 이러한 재협착이나 폐색은 혈관민무니근세포(smooth muscle cells)의 이상성장(abnormal growth) 때문인데, 이를 억제하기 위한 다양한 약물이 개발되어 왔으나 치료 대상 부위에 높은 효율로 2~3 주간의 기간 동안 약물 전달하기가 어려운 실정이다. 최근 혈관접합 부위 (anastomosis site)등에 적용할 수 있는 메쉬나 실린더 형상의 약물전달 디바이스들이 개발되어 왔으나 약물 전달의 효율 등에서 더 개선이 절실히 필요한 실정이다. 본 발표에서는 혈관 외벽에 장착되어 혈관 중간막 (tunica media) 조직으로의 약물 전달 효율을 높이기 위해 마이크로니들(microneedles)을 이용한 디바이스들을 개발하고 약물 전달 성능과 치료효과를 소개하고자 한다. 열인장 공정 (thermal drawing)과 트랜스포 몰딩(transfer molding) 등의 마이크로 니들 제작공정을 설명하고 이를 바탕으로 제작된 커프(cuff) 형 및 유연 메쉬 (flexible mesh) 형의 디바이스 개발 과정을 소개하고자 한다. 특히, 이 디바이스들의 동물실험을 통한 약물 전달 효율의 향상 및 치료 효과의 증대에 대한 논의를 하고자 한다.

A drug delivery system (DDS) based on nanoparticles has been used as a mediator to improve the efficacy of a drug by controlling the amount of drug released and delivering it to a target place. Chitosan, which is non-toxic and biodegradable, has good biocompatibility and excellent adsorption, so it can be used as a drug delivery vehicle. Valine, the essential amino acids, helps muscle growth and tissue recovery, and along with other amino acids. It lowers blood sugar levels and increases growth hormone production. In this study, Valine was adsorbed on magnetic chitosan which is capable of drug absorption, and Fe₃O₄-Valine CNPs was prepared through cross-linking with TPP (Tripolyphosphate). And then absorption and release trends of valine were investigated with the Fe₃O₄-Valine CNPs. Fe₃O₄, which has relatively high stability, is used to make the drug carrier magnetic so that the drug can be delivered to a target place. At optimal conditions, the absorption and release tendency of Fe₃O₄-Valine CNP was confirmed by analyzing by UV-Vis through the Ninhydrin test which is the color reaction of amino acids and by measuring the size of the particles, it was confirmed that it is suitable as a drug carrier.

모델약물로 acetaminophen을 사용하여 우리나라에 자원이 풍부한 키토산을 약물전달체계에 응용하려고 시도하였다. 키토산 분산체는 단순혼합물과는 다른 형태였으며 용출지연을 나타냈다. 요출거동의 차이는 약물의 물성보다는 polycation인 키토산의 막형성능과 pH에 좌우되었으며 polyanion인 polyacrvlate을 첨가한경우는 막형성능은 저조했으나 겔형성이 뛰어나 키토산 단독보다 용출이 지연되었다 키토산의 아미노기와 shiff's base를 형성하는 수종의 aldellyde는 키토산분산막과 chitosan-polyacrylate분산막을 강하게 경화시켜 용출을 저하시켰다. 특히 가교제의 농도와 양, 막과 반응하는 시간과 방법에 따라 막의 물리적특성 및 용출거동이 큰영향을 받았다.

The nanofibers fabricated by using an electrohydrodynamic process has been used as various applications, such as nano-device, filtering system, protective clothes, wound dressing, and drug delivery system (DDS). Of these applications, the DDS should be needed to minimize side effects of drugs, maximize the properties of medicine, and efficiently deliver the required amount of drugs to the diseased area. In this paper, by using the electro spinning process, which is one of electrohydrodynamic processes, two different types, polycarprolactone and poly(ethylene oxide)/Rhodamine B, of electrospun mats were fabricated layer by layer and the release behavior of Rhodamine B was characterized with time. In addition, to show the feasibility of DDS of this type, we tested release behavior of a peptide of the nanofiber system, a PCL/(Peptide+PEO)/PCL nanofiber mat. The released peptide did not loss biological activities. From these results, we believe that the layered nanofiber mat as a DDS has enough function of a new drug delivery system.

Bufexamac which was used for treatment of atopic dermatitis is the drug which was made as the ointment. However, penetration rate of bufexamac was very low for the barrier effect of stratum corneum. Microneedle was used to increase transdermal delivery rate of the bufexamac. We tried to conjugate bufexamac and FITC for the detection of penetration rate of bufexamac. FITC-bufexamac was mixed in hydrogel for the treatment skin surface. Fluorescent spectrophotometer was used to analysis the concentration of FITC-bufexamac. Microscope using fluorescent filter was used to capture the image about location of FITC-bufexamac in the skin. We confirmed that permeation rate of bufexamac was increased with the treatment by microneedle and was increased by the increasing number treatment of microneedle.

A model theory of passive-targeted drug delivery in sphere-shaped solid tumors is introduced on the basis of Fick's law of diffusion, with appropriate boundary and initial conditions. For a uniform initial concentration inside the tumor, the concentration is obtained as a function of time and radial position. The concentration is shown to approach the equilibrium distribution as the time elapses, as is expected by the Gedanken Experiment. The time-evolution rate is found to be determined by the diffusion coefficient of the drug in the tissue, the size of the tumor, the volume of the drug-injected region, and the concentration gradient at the boundary.

We investigated the diffusive transport of bupivacaine HCl through the microchannels of microfluidic drug delivery devices. In the biodegradable microfluidic drug delivery devices developed in this research, the drug release rate can be controlled by simply modulating the geometrical parameters of the microchannels, such as the length, number, and cross-sectional area of the microchannels, when the microchannels are used as paths for drug release. However, the hydrophobic nature of a biodegradable polymer, 85/15 poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), hinders the infiltration of a release medium (phosphate-buffered saline) through the microchannels into the reservoir of a device that contains bupivacaine HCl, at the early stage of drug release. This can have an adverse effect on the early stage release of local analgesic compounds from the device. In this study, microfluidic channels were surface-treated with surfactants such as PEG600 and Tween80, and the effects of the surfactants on the release performance are presented and analyzed.
