In this study, injectable microspheres were developed for the local treatment of joint degeneration in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Microspheres loaded with triamcinolone (TA), a corticosteroid drug, and/or raloxifene (Ral), a cartilage regenerative drug, were prepared with a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer, polycaprolactone (PCL). Microspheres were optimized for particle size, structural properties, drug release, and loading properties. In vitro release of Ral was very slow because of the low solubility of the drug and hydrophobic nature of PCL. However, when coloaded with TA, both drugs were released at higher amounts compared with their single forms. Smallest particle sizes were obtained in dual drug-loaded microspheres. In vitro cytotoxicity tests showed biocompatibility of microspheres. In vivo bioefficacy of these microspheres was also examined in adjuvant-induced arthritis model in rats. In vivo histological studies of control groups showed development of RA with high median lesion score (5.0). Compared with control and intra-articular free drug injections, microsphere treatment groups showed lower lesion scores and better healing outcomes in histological evaluations. Results suggest that a controlled delivery system of TA and RAL by a single injection in inflamed joints holds promise for healing and suppressing inflammation.

Development and characterization of cortisone derivative drugcarrying polymeric microspheres
Öcal, Yiğit; Keskin, Dilek; Özen, Seza; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2011)
In this study, it is aimed to develop an injectable controlled release system of PCL and P(L,DL)LA microspheres loaded with TA and/or Ral for local treatment of rheumatoid arthritis which will avoid from systemic side effects of traditional administration and eliminate problems caused by direct local injections. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, autoimmune disorder that most commonly causes inflammation and tissue damage in joints and tendon sheaths. Current strategies for the disease are ma...
Characterization of antioxidant and antimicrobial isolates from Quercus brantii L. extract
Nebigil, Can; Çoruh, Nursen; Department of Chemistry (2011)
This study was designed for the investigation of antioxidative, and antimicrobial properties of Quercus brantii L. (Q.brantii.) seed extract. Phenolic profile of the total extract was determined by using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and confirmed by High Resolution Mass Spectroscopy (HRMS). Solvent fractionation was performed to seperate bioactive compounds in total extract by using solubility differences. In comparison of fractions, ethyl acetate and diethyl ether phases have revealed high...
Development of a calcium phosphate-gelatin composite as a bone substitute and its use in drug release
Yaylaoglu, MB; Korkusuz, P; Ors, U; Korkusuz, F; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (1999-04-01)
This study was carried out to develop a calcium phosphate-gelatin composite implant that would mimic the structure and function of bone for use in filling voids or gaps and to release bioactive compounds like drugs, growth hormones into the implant site to assist healing. XDS analysis of the synthesized calcium phosphate revealed a calcium to phosphorus molar ratio of ca. 2.30, implying a less erodible material than hydroxyapatite (1.67). Release of the antibiotic gentamicin from the implant was with a burs...
Synthesis and characterization of fatty acid based hyperbranched polymers for anti-cancer drug delivery
Güç, Esra; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2008)
Conventional methods of chemotherapy requires novel therapy systems due to serious side effects and inefficiency of drug administration. In recent years many studies are carried out to improve drug delivery systems. Polymers are one of the most important elements for drug delivery research due to their versatility. By the discovery of dendritic polymers, drug delivery studies gained a new vision. Highly branched monodisperse structure, multiple sites of attachment, well-defined size and controllable physica...
Characterization of Novel O-Glycans Isolated from Tear and Saliva of Ocular Rosacea Patients
Özcan Kabasakal, Süreyya; Vieira, Ana C.; Park, Gun Wook; Kim, Jae Han; Mannis, Mark J.; Lebrilla, Carlito B. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2013-03-01)
O-Glycans in saliva and tear isolated from patients suffering from ocular rosacea, a form of inflammatory ocular surface disease, were profiled, and their structures were elucidated using high resolution mass spectrometry. We have previously shown that certain structures, particularly sulfated oligosaccharides, increased in the tear and saliva of rosacea patients In this study, the structures of these glycans were elucidated using primarily tandem mass spectrometry. There were important similarities in the ...
