O desenvolvimento de Sistemas de Liberação Controlada (SLC) de NO no organismo são de grande importância em tratamentos de diversas patologias, bem como para a indústria farmacêutica. A espectroscopia de ressonância paramagnética (RPE) foi utilizada para detecção e caracterização da taxa de liberação de NO. Esta é uma técnica amplamente utilizada no estudo de entes paramagnéticos existentes em sistemas biológicos. Os SLCs de NO foram desenvolvidos a partir da incorporação do agente aprisionador de NO, FeDETC, nas matrizes biocompatíveis de látex e siloxanopoli(oxipropileno) (PPO). O foco deste trabalho é obter membranas para liberação controlada de NO que sejam capazes de liberar NO localmente através de estímulos externos. A matriz de PPO apresentou forte sinal de NO, resistência mecânica e estabilidade igual às melhores matrizes sólidas já obtidas em nosso laboratório. Mantendo a matriz de PPO em ambiente sem iluminação e à temperatura ambiente, o NO permanece aprisionado ao FeDETC por até 45 dias nas primeiras sínteses e 33 dias nas últimas sínteses. Em experimentos feitos com a matriz de látex foi observado que o NO permanece complexado ao FeDETC até 61 dias e 45 dias para amostras estocadas no escuro à temperatura ambiente e sob temperatura de 50C. Em ambas matrizes, foi observado que a taxa de liberação de NO do sistema pode também ser acelerada através da aplicação de um campo magnético ou através do aumento de temperatura. Estas características fazem do PPO e látex , matrizes ideais para construção de SLCs de NO. / Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical species with multiples physiological functions, such as the regulation of blood pressure and nervous system. The development of drug delivery systems (DDS) of NO in the body are of great importante in the treatment of varios diseases, as well as for the pharmaceutical industry. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) technique, was used for NO detection and characterization of the NO delivery kinetics. This is a technique widely used in the study of paramagnetic entities existing in biological systems. NO DDSs were developed based in trap FeDETC incorporated in siloxane–poly(oxypropylene) (PPO) and latex biocompatible matrix. The focus of this work is to obtain membranes for controlled release of NO that are able to release NO locally by external stimuli. The PPO400 and PPO2000 DDS presents a stronger EPR signal, strength and highest stability, equal to the best solid matrices already obtained in our laboratory, e. g. latex matrix. Keeping the matrix in PPO enviromment without lighting and temperature, the NO remains trapped in FeDETC for up to 45 days in the first synthesis and summaries for the last 33 days. In experiments made with the latex matrix was observed that NO remains trapped in FeDETC until 61 or 45 days for samples stored in the dark at room temperature and samples left at the greenhouse 50C. In both matrices was observed that the kinetics of NO release of NO release of the system can also be accelerated by applying modulated magnetic field of 40G or by increasing temperature. These characteristics make the PPO and latex, matrices ideal for building DDS NO.

Microemulsões biocompatíveis de anfotericina B para administração oral : estudo estrutural, liberação in vitro e farmacocinética pré-clínica /

Pestana, Kelly Chrystina. January 2009 (has links)
Resumo: Anfotericina B (AmB) é o fármaco de escolha para o tratamento das infecções fúngicas invasivas, importante causa de morbidade e mortalidade em pacientes imunodeprimidos. A toxicidade da AmB na forma convencional tem estimulado o desenvolvimento de novas formulações para a administração do fármaco. Neste trabalho foram estudadas microemulsões óleo/água, contendo fosfatidilcolina de soja/tween 20 como agentes tensoativos, CaptexTM 200 como fase oleosa e tampão fosfato 50mM pH 7,2 como fase aquosa, com o objetivo de reduzir a toxicidade e aumentar a absorção oral da AmB. Os sistemas obtidos com diferentes proporções dos componentes foram descritos através de um diagrama de fase pseudo-ternário. As microestruturas foram caracterizadas por espalhamento dinâmico de luz (DLS), reologia, microscopia de luz polarizada e espalhamento de raios X a baixo ângulo (SAXS). Foi desenvolvido e validado um método por CLAE para a determinação de AmB em plasma para aplicação em estudo do perfil farmacocinético do fármaco veiculado na ME em ratos. A nefrotoxicidade da AmB foi avaliada pela determinação da creatinina plasmática dos ratos após administração oral da nova formulação desenvolvida (50 mg/kg), e comparada à administração da formulação convencional na mesma dose. Foi observado que o tamanho das gotículas das microemulsões aumenta quando a AmB é incorporada ao sistema. As amostras apresentaram comportamento Newtoniano e, dependendo da composição do sistema, antitixotropia foi observada. Também foi observado que a viscosidade aumenta com o aumento da fase oleosa assim como a formação de estruturas lamelares ordenadas que são desfavorecidas com a adição do fármaco. A incorporação do fármaco depende das proporções de fase oleosa e tensoativo. As interações da AmB...

The high toxicity of AmB in its conventional formulation have induced the development of innovative formulations for the drug administration. In this work, oil-in-water microemulsions containing soya phosphatidylcholine/Tween® 20 (1:1) as surfactant, captexTM 200 as oil phase, and phosphate buffer 50mM, pH 7.2 as aqueous phase were studied in order to reduce AmB toxicity and increase its oral absorption. Systems obtained with different proportions of the components were described by pseudoternary phase diagram. The microstructures of the system were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), rheological behavior, polarized light microscopy and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Was developed and validated a fast and selective HPLC method to determine AmB for application to study of pharmacokinetic profile of drug in rats. The nephrotoxicity of AmB was assessed by determining of rat plasma creatinine after oral administration of the novel formulation (50 mg/kg) and comparing with it a conventional formulation in the same dose. It was observed that the oil droplets size increase when AmB is incorporated into the system. The samples presented Newtonian behavior depending on the system composition. An anti-thixotropic behavior was found, as well, the viscosity increases withthe oil phase. The data showed the formation of ordered structures with lamellar arrangements in the drug unloaded systems and that order decrease with the drug incorporation. The AmB incorporation into the system was dependent on both the oil phase and surfactant. The interactions of AmB with the systems can control both the drug solubility and release...

Locus of Control of Reinforcement Applied to the Prediction of Use of Medical Services

Flynn, Michael Howard 05 1900 (has links)
Increases in the number of users of the medical delivery system, along with an ever-increasing variety of available services, makes it desirable to identify those individuals who will benefit most from its services. With the growing reliance on third party payment, economic limitations no longer effectively restrict the use of the system's resources to those individuals who are truly ill. A framework is needed whereby individuals who are medically ill can be separated from those whose needs might be more effectively addressed by other services. A variety of means, including locus of control, has been used in the attempt to make such discriminations. In conclusion, it was observed that the low magnitude of obtained relationships presents opportunities for future research, but disallows meaningful prediction at the present time.
