This study has investigated the temperature-sensitive liposomes, which release anticancer drug(doxorubicin) at the hyperthermia temperature$(~40^{\circ}C)$. The temperature-sensitive liposomes were modified with a copolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide(NIPAAm) and acrylamide(AAm), which exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) at the hyperthermia temperature. The release of doxorubicin from the modified liposomes was determined by measuring the fluorescence intensity with changing temperature and time. The release of doxorubicin from liposomes modified with poly(NIPAAm-co-AAm) copolymer was increased significantly, because poly(NIPAAm-co-AAm) could undergo the conformational transition in the narrow hyperthermia temperature region$(~40{\pm}2^{\circ}C)$. Moreover, we observed that doxorubicin released from liposomes within 5 minutes, and the size of modified liposomes was 120~170 nm. In this study, we have prepared temperature-sensitive liposomes which could be controlled by temperature. They can be applied in the field of a drug delivery system for tumor targeting by temperature control.

The purposes of this work were the producing of a biodegradable poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) (PCL) / poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) microcapsule and the analyzing of form and features for the manufacturing conditions which could be observed in a prospective drug delivery systems through drug release. The effects of emulsifier, emulsifier concentration, and stirring rate for the diameter and form of the microcapsules were observed using image analyzer and scanning electron microscope. The role of interfacial adhesion between PCL/PEO and drug was determined by contact angle measurements, and the drug release test of the microcapsules was characterized by UV/vis. spectra. As a result, the microcapsules were made in spherical fonns with a mean particle size of 170 nm∼68 $\mu$m. And the work of adhesion between water and PCL/PEO increased with increasing the content of PEO, probably due to the increased the hydrophilicity. It was also found that the drug release rate from the microcapsules significantly increased with increasing the content of PEO, which could be also attributed to the increasing of the hydrophilic groups or the degree of adhesion force at interfaces.

Biodegradable poly((R)-3-hydroxy butyrate) and poly(ethylene glycol) was conjugated to make amphiphilic di-block copolymer. Folate was conjugated at di-block copolymer to target the cancer cells. Copolymer was ready to form the self-assembled micelle whose size was 125~156 nm in aqueous solution. Griseofulvin as a hydrophobic drug was loaded in nanoparticles. Their loading efficiencies were 35~56%. Hydrophobic drug was continuously released for 24 h. Cell viability test showed that folate attached particles were 10% more efficient than the particles without targeting ligands.

To obtain maximal efficacy with minimal systemic side-effects, many studies have been carried out to achieve the controlled release of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). In this study, biodegradable poly(L-lactide) (L-PLA) microparticles containing 5-FU were prepared by a process, called aerosol solvent extraction system (ASES), utilizing supercritical carbon dioxide. The effects of various organic solvents, drug/polymer feeding ratio, polymer molecular weight, and blending with the same polymers with different molecular weights on the formation of 5-FU loaded microparticles were investigated under a predetermined operating condition from our previous study. The drug recovery, entrapment efficiency, and in vitro drug release kinetics were determined by HPLC assays. The drug recovery obtained from the ASES process was found to be very high, whereas the drug entrapment efficiency was considerably low in all the experiments due to the poor affinity between L-PLA and 5-FU. These results indicated that the precipitation rate of L-PLA might be quite different from that of 5-FU so that there was little chance to form 5-FU loaded L-PLA microparticles.

Development of liposomes has been actively studied for effective delivery of drug at tumor site. However, despite their preferential accumulation at tumor site, the therapeutic efficacy of such liposomal drug has been limited because of low drug release. Therefore, we developed a temperature-sensitive liposome (TSL), which can be made to maximize release of drug by external stimulation such as ultrasound. Doxorubicin (DOX) as a model drug was encapsulated into TSL by a pH gradient method. The particle size of the TSL was $142.0{\pm}6.24nm$. Surface charge was $-10.55{\pm}1.12mV$. Release of drug from TSLs was up to 80% within 15 min at over $42^{\circ}C$ measured by fluorescence intensity. Cytotoxicity of released DOX from TSLs with ultrasound was highly increased compared to TSLs without ultrasound. Taken together, we demonstrate that temperature sensitive drug release from TSLs with ultrasound, which may be useful for cancer therapy to increase drug concentration at tumor site by external stimulation.

To improve the type error of osmotic tablet which is one of the drug delivery system, osmotic granule could be manufactured by fluidized bed coating. It has drug layer containing different amount of osmogant and is coated with membrane including different types of binder. We confirmed that the morphology of osmotic granule was different at each coating step. The more mont of osmotic agent, the faster drug release was observed due to increasing the driving force for drug release from osmotic granule. And drug release from osmotic granule coated with membrane using different types of binder was differed by solubility of binders to water. The formation of pore in membrane was confirmed by SEM and DSC Membrane using water soluble binder released more amount of drug. From these results, we assured that difference of osmotic pressure between the inside and the outside of granule and porosity of membrane have an effect on drug release from osmotic granule.

흰쥐의 뒷발바닥에 carragennan(cg)을 피하투여하여 염증성 통증을 유발한 뒤, 그 통증이 최고에 달하는 3시간 뒤 Ach이나 SNP를 동일한 항법으로 투여해서 30분 후 cg유발 통증에 대하여 그 효과를 Randall-Selitto paw pressure test로 검색하였고, 체내 Nitric Oxide Synthase(NOS) 억제제인 L-NAME과 L-NOARG를 용량별로 적용하여 Ach의 진통효과를 억제하는 정도와 Methylene Blue 및 Hemoglobin을 투여해서 SUP효과 억제를 검사하였다. 그리고 척수 지주막하강내로 catheter를 삽입하여 위의 NO donor를 주입하고, NO의 중추신경계에서의 통각전도에 미치는 효과를 Tail-Flick test로 살펴보았다. 끝으로 NO가 가진 급,만성 통각관련효과를 희석한 formalin을 써서 검색하였다. 결 과: Ach과 SNP는 흰쥐에게 말초경로투여시 유의성있는 진통효과를 보였으며, NOS inhibitor와 NO scavenger로 그 효과가 역전되었다. 또한 NOS inhibitor간에는 억제효과가 용량의존성이 유사하게 나타났고, 중추신경계로의 직접투여때는 여러 생리적 조건이 직, 간접으로 관여함이 확인되었다.
