In many biodegradable polymers recently investigated, poly(lactic acid)(PLA) or poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA) have extensively been utilized as drug delivery systems for sustained release drug delivery. Recently, there has been increased interest in electrospinning, which can produce fibers that are sub-micron in diameter. This technique has been applied to various micro/nano fabrication areas using numerous polymers but very few uses in the sharmaceutical area have been reported. (omitted)

약물전달 시스템 중의 하나인 삼투압정의 단점을 보완하기 위해 많은 장점을 가지는 유동층 코팅 기술을 이용하여 내부의 삼투염의 양과 반투막 내의 결합제의 종류가 다른 삼투압을 이용하는 과립을 제조하였다. 얻어진 과립은 코팅 단계에 따라 과립의 형태가 상이하였으며, 약물층에 포함된 삼투염의 양이 많을수록 많은 양의 약물을 방출하였다. 이는 과립의 내부와 외부의 삼투압 차이가 커져서 약물을 방출시키는 추진력이 증가하였기 때문으로 사료된다. 또한 반투막의 결합제 종류에 따른 약물의 방출은 결합제의 물에 대한 용해도에 따라 달라짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 반투막 내의 다공의 형성은 SEM과 DSC를 이용하여 확인하였으며, 물에 대한 용해도가 큰 결합제를 사용한 반투막이 더 많은 양의 약물을 방출함을 확인하였다. 이 실험을 통해 삼투압을 이용한 과립의 약물방출은 과립 내부와 외부의 삼투압 차이와 반투막의 다공도에 의해 영향을 받는다는 것을 확인하였다.

This study investigates the geometrical impact on the nanomedicine drug delivery via nanodevices. A nanomotor made of the nanotube carrying the drug as the motor blade is considered in the blood flow. Physical activities change the blood flow, and sports training enhances the blood flow and plays a significant role in the stability of drug delivery devices. This paper studies the impact of geometrical parameters on the nanomotors carrying the nanomedicine. The effect of physical exercise on the dynamic response regarding the stability of drug delivery devices is discussed in detail.

Nanomotors are gaining popularity as novel drug delivery methods since they can move rapidly, penetrate deeply into tissues, and be regulated. The ability of manufactured nanomotors to swiftly transport therapeutic payloads to their intended location constitutes a revolutionary nanomedicine strategy. The nanomotors for the drug delivery purpose are released in the blood flow under the different physical conditions, so the stability investigation of these devices is essential before the production, especially in the sport and physical exercise conditions that the blood flow enhances. As a result, using dynamic analysis, this article investigates the stability of the nanomotor released in the blood flow when sport and physical activity circumstances increase blood flow. The considered nanodevice is made of a central motor, and nanotubes are used for the nanomotor blade, which is the drug capsule. Finally, the stability examination of nanomotor as the drug delivery equipment is discussed in detail, and the proposed results can present beneficial results in designing and producing small-scale intelligent devices.

본 연구는 용해도가 낮은 수용성 활성물질인 바이오틴(biotin)의 안정화 및 용해도 증가를 목적으로 나노리포좀을 활용하였다. 이번 실험을 통해 바이오틴 나노리포좀의 안정성에 pH가 큰 영향을 준다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었으며, pH 상승이 바이오틴 활성에 튼 영향을 미치지 않음을 확인하였다. 또한 제타사이저(zetasizer)로 입자크기, 제타전위(zeta potential) 및 다분산지수(polydispersity index)를 측정하여 안정성을 평가하였다. 입자크기는 평균 100 ~ 250 nm, 제타전위 -80 ~ -30 mV로 나노리포좀 제조가 가능함을 확인하였다. 바이오틴 나노리포좀 내의 바이오틴 캡슐화율(capsulation efficiency)을 측정하기 위해 dialysis membrane method (DMM)를 이용하여 평가하였으며, 이를 통해 알지닌을 첨가시킨 바이오틴 나노리포좀이 일반 바이오틴 나노리포좀보다 캡슐화율이 5 배 높은 것으로 측정되었다. 바이오틴 나노리포좀의 경피흡수율을 측정하기 위해 in vitro franz diffusion cell method를 통해 확인하였으며, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo - TEM)을 통해 바이오틴 나노리포좀이 잘 형성되었는지 확인하였다. 본 논문을 통하여 모발건강과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 소개된 바이오틴을 약물전달체(drug delivery carrier)인 나노리포좀에 캡슐화시켜 기존의 낮은 용해도 및 석출되는 문제를 보완한 바이오틴 나노리포좀을 만들 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Tamsulosin or a salt thereof such as its hydrochloride salt has been known to have an adrenaline ${\alpha}$ receptor blocking action for urethra and prostate areas. It has been widely used as a drug which lowers the prostate pressure and improves urinary disturbance accompanied by prostate-grand enlargement, thus for the treatment of prostatic hyperplasia. To avoid dose-dependent side effects of tamsulosin upon oral administration, the development of sustained-release delivery system is essentially required, that can maintain therapeutic drug levels for a longer period of time. The aim of this study was therefore to formulate sustained-release tamsulosin granules and assess their formulation variables. We designed entric coated sustained-release tamsulosin granules for this purpose. Nano-pores in the outer controlled release membrane were needed in order to obtain initial tamsulosin release even in an acidic environment such as gastric region. In our sustained release osmotic granule system, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose in a drug-containing layer was used as a rate controller. The drug-containing granules were coated with hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate (HPMCP) and Eudragit, along with glycerol triacetate as an aqueous nano-pore former. The release of tamsulosin depended heavily on the type of Eudragit such as RS, RL, NE 30D, used in the formulation of controlled release layer. These results obtained clearly suggest that the sustained-release oral delivery system for tamsulosin could be designed with satisfying drug release profile approved by the Korean Food and Drug Administration.

In order to increase the medicinal herbs efficiency of drug delivery, vesicles contained with medicinal herbs were prepared by phosphatidylcholines and surface active agent. Vesicles loaded with medicinal herbs were characterized by UV-spectroscopy, Zetasizer. The antioxidant activity of vesicles was measured by DPPH assay and ABTS radical scavenging assays. Also, an analysis was conducted to determine the effects of anti-inflammatory of vesicles contained medicinal herbs. In addition, the whitening effects of vesicles contained medicinal herbs extract were studied via tyrosinase inhibition assay. The results of vesicles were as follows. Vesicles appeared an average diameter of approximatively 164-599 nm. All studied vesicles contained with medicinal herbs showed antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and whitening effects in a dose-dependent manner. Therefore, this experiment achieves its purpose of synthesizing of vesicles. In conclusion, we recommended that the vesicles loaded with medicinal herbs have ability for anti-aging materials. Specifically, it will apply to cosmetic ingredients.

Paclitaxel is an effective antineoplastic agent against ovarian, colon and breast tumors. But there have been many difficulties to formulate this drug due to the extremely low aqueous solubility. Paclitaxel is currently formulated in a vehicle composed of Cremophor EL and absolute ethanol mixture which is $5\~20$ fold diluted in normal saline or $5\%$ dextrose solution before I.V. injection. However, this formulation has many problems such as allergic reactions and drug precipitation on aqueous dilution. To overcome these problems, we prepared the micelle and microemulsion systems for parenteral administration of paclitaxel by using glycofurol, $Soluto^{(R)}lHS$ 15 and oleic acid. Phase diagram, pH-rate stability, particle size distributions and pharmacokinetics of the systems were studied. Micelles and microemulsions formulated as nano-particle delivery system were physically and chemically stable. Therefore, these formulations might be the promising alternative candidate for the parenteral delivery of paclitaxel.

Immunoliposomes (antibody-conjugated liposomes) are highly useful as both a drug carrier in drug delivery and as a reporting probe in immunodiagnostics. However, antibody conjugation is lengthy and cumbersome, because this includes several steps such as derivatization of the antibody, conjugation of the derivatized antibody to liposomes, and separation of the unbound antibodies from immunoliposomes. Recently, liposome preparation steps have simplified by using microfluidic devices (${\mu}FDs$) where liposomes are formed when a stream of lipids in solvent is hydrodynamically focused between two oblique buffer streams in a microchannel. Herein, we report a simple method for the production of immunoliposomes (rabbit IgG-conjugated liposomes) using microvalve-controlled ${\mu}FD$. The presence of antibody on the liposome was verified by observing the binding of immunoliposomes to rabbit IgG on the surface. The results suggest that immunoliposomes can be easily prepared through sequential mixing of antibody, conjugation reagents, preformed liposomes using microvalve-controlled ${\mu}FD$.
