passive targeting for nanosized drug delivery systems

A

mononuclear phagocyte system
local physiological conditions
enhanced permeability and retention effect EPR

49
Q

mononuclear phagocyte system

A

MPS

iv injection, the particulates are cleared by the macrophage from liver and spleen. Once there is macrophage uptake, the drug carrier will be transported to the lysosome and the drug is released upon the breakdown of the carrier

ex are treatment of macrophage intracellular microbial

50
Q

local physiological conditions

A

facilitate the release of the active drug from its carrier system at the specific site using the local pH or presence of a specific enzyme within a target organ

ex is increase alkaline phosphatase increase at tumour level site

51
Q

enhanced permeability and retention EPR effect

A

integrity of the endothelial barier at the site of inflammation or tumours is often disrupted by the presence of endothelial fenestration that can be quite large

macromolecular compounds such as albumin and other polymer-conjugated drugs beyond certain sizes (above 40 kDa) can progressively accumulate in the tumor vascularized area

52
Q

active targeting

A

is when you use targeting groups to bind to specific receptor

targeting via folate receptor
antibodies
lectin-glycoprotein targeting

53
Q

targeting via folate receptor

A

these receptor are upregulate in many human cancer and high density of these receptor appears to increase as the stage of cancer progresses

54
Q

antibodies

A

as drug to target a range of cells
they can be use to conjugate a drug or carrier system and target specific location

55
Q

lectin-glycoprotein targeting

A

can be used to target invading pathogens as lecting are overexperessed on the surface of many tumour cells

56
Q

nanosized drug delivery

A

soluble system include monoclonal antibodies and polymeric carrier (eg xyotax, treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and ovarian)

particulate systems (the drug is physically or chemically associated to the carrier, they have a high drug loading and protected against degradation include liposomes (mRNA), polymeric micelles (both passive via EPR and active eg folate), dendrimers and polymeric nanoparticles

requirement for a good efficient drug-targeting system

no non-specific interaction
no toxicity
retaining the drug during the trans to the target
bust be able to access and be retained at the target
drug must be delivered from its delivery system

57

approaches.

they try to maximise and connect the information gathered to fit the purpose such as population extrapolation or clinical trial design etc

it is based on learning confirming cycle

Model-Informed Drug Development (MIDD), sometimes referred to as Model-Based Drug Development (MBDD), is a process whereby key program decisions are supported by mathematical models and simulations that predict the likelihood of success for the drug.

By using mathematical and statistical methods, one is able to build models of drug concentrations (pharmacokinetic) and/or drug responses (pharmacodynamic) over a time course.

Such models allow one to understand how various dosing choices (e.g., dose amount, frequency, and duration) can affect drug concentrations while also demonstrating the relationship between drug concentration and the desired or undesired pharmacodynamic responses.

In addition, these models help to characterize the PK/PD variability of drugs and assist in understanding the clinically relevant factors contributing to variability.
