The study of hydroxyapatite as drug carrier for Alzheimer’s disease prevention / 以氫氧基磷灰石作為藥物載體應用於預防阿茲海默症之研究

碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 醫學工程學研究所 / 105 / Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of neurodegenerative disease in aging society, which will reducing life quality of patients, and inconvenience to the caregivers. However, Alzheimer’s disease is currently that is no drug can successfully treat it. Current approaches focus on slowly or delay the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Hence, researchers hope to develop therapies that the actual underlying cause of the disease can be prevented.
The purpose of study is to develop hydroxyapatite/donepezil which could carry drugs. The material synthesis, drug loading test, drug release test, in vitro study and in vivo study were evaluated.
In material synthesis study, donepezil is indeed into hydroxyapatite was confirmed by XRD analysis, FTIR, and SEM observations. TGA analysis showed the drug loading of hydroxyapatite/donepezil is about 12 %. The drug release tests showed hydroxyapatite/donepezil a great number of donepezil release in the acidic environment in a short time. In in vitro study, WST-1 test showed there is no negative effect on cell viability and cell proliferation. LDH test showed no cytotoxicity on cell.
The results suggest that hydroxyapatite/donepezil would be a potential candidate for prevention Alzheimer’s disease.
