Intraspinal drug delivery, based on the concept of controlling pain by delivering drug to a nociceptive target rich in opioid and other relevant receptors is increasingly used clinically. The therapeutic ratio for opioids or other centrally acting agents is potentially greater if they are administered intrathecally (i.t.) than outside the central nervous system (CNS). The present study was designed with the ultimate goal of formulating a controlled release system for intrathecal analgesia characterized by effectiveness, rapid onset and few side effects for chronic pain control. A biodegradable copolymer poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) was used to prepare a rod-shaped drug delivery system containing hydromorphone (HM), bupivacaine (BP), both HM and BP, or biphalin (131). In vitro drug release kinetics of these systems showed a zero-order release rate for HM and BP from PLGA (85:15) rods. Drug-loaded rods were implanted i.t. Control groups received only placebo implants. Measurement of analgesic efficacy was carried out with tail flick and paw-withdrawal tests. In vivo studies showed potent, prolonged analgesia in comparison to controls for all active treatments. Analgesic synergy was observed with HM and BP. With further refinements of drug release rate, these rods may offer a clinically relevant alternative for intrathecal analgesia.

Surface functionalization of SBA - 15 particles for amoxicillin delivery Sevimli, Filiz F; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Department of Chemistry (2011) There are several studies in order to control drug delivery, decrease the toxicity of drugs and also for novel biomedical applications. It is necessary to be able to control the release of the drug within the body by using drug delivery systems. Mesoporous silica compounds have only been discovered twenty years ago and they have already attracted many researchers to study these materials for several applications. SBA-15 particles have a highly ordered regular structure and are a good matrix for guest-host a...
UV responsive drug delivery from suprofen incorporated liposomes Demirbağ, Birsen; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Biotechnology (2011) Drug delivery systems are designed to achieve low, local doses at the target site. Delivery systems can provide the drug in a continuous manner or in response to environmental stimuli such as temperature, pH or UV. This study aimed to develop photosensitive liposomes that achieve UV-responsive release of their content. The main mechanism was to incorporate a light sensitive molecule into the liposomal bilayer then achieve destabilization of the membrane by exposure to UV. This would result in an on demand r...
Smart Drug Delivery Systems in Cancer Therapy ÜNSOY, GÖZDE; Gündüz, Ufuk (2018-01-01) Background: Smart nanocarriers have been designed for tissue-specific targeted drug delivery, sustained or triggered drug release and co-delivery of synergistic drug combinations to develop safer and more efficient therapeutics.
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...
Peptide-based drug systems / Parlak, Melek; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Chemistry (2017) The increasing appeal of safe, cheap and effective treatments against various type of diseases has paved the way for the discovery and development of innovative peptide-based drug and drug delivery systems. The relative ease with which peptide based-materials can be synthesized and the wide range of synthetic techniques available have ensured that these materials can be tuned to adopt specific conformation or modified to contain specific functional groups. Our major focus in this thesis is developing peptid...
