Background: In recent years nano-sized dendrimer/hyperbranched polymers gained importance in drug delivery applications. Objective: In this study, a novel fatty acid-based hyperbranched resin (HBR) was synthesized and used for tamoxifen (TAM) and idarubicin (IDA) delivery. Methods: The core of the HBR was dipentaerythritol, and the branching was provided by dimethylolpropionic acid. The molecule was terminated by ricinoleic acid. Chemical and structural characterization of the resin was carried out and then drug-loading experiments were performed. Conclusion: The loading efficiencies were found to be 73.3% for TAM and 74% for IDA. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis showed that TAM physically bounded onto the resin whereas IDA interacted chemically. Controlled release in phosphate buffer was improved by Pseudomonas sp. lipase and sodium dodecyl sulfate. The release rates decreased with the increase of loading concentrations. The cytotoxicity analyses were carried out on MCF-7 breast cancer cells for both drug-free and drug-loaded HBR. Drug-free particles did not have significant toxicity. Drug-loaded nanoparticles caused higher levels of cell death than pure drugs.

Tailoring the magnetic behavior of polymeric particles for bioapplications YAKAR, ARZU; Tansik, Gulistan; Keskin, Tugba; Gündüz, Ufuk (2013-05-01) In this study, magnetic polymeric nanoparticles were prepared use in for targeted drug delivery. First, iron oxide (Fe3O4) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized by coprecipitation with ferrous and ferric chloride salts. Then, to render the MNPs hydrophobic, the surfaces were covered with oleic acid. Finally, the hydrophobic MNPs (H-MNPs) were encapsulated with polymer. The emulsion evaporation technique was used for the preparation of polymer-coated H-MNP. Poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and c...
Biopolymer based micro/nanoparticles as drug carriers for the treatment of skin diseases Eke, Gözde; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2011) Controlled drug delivery systems are becoming increasingly interesting with the contribution of nanotechnology. In the case of transdermal applications the greatest limitation is the highly impermeable outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum. One promising method of controlled transdermal drug delivery of the skin therapeutics is the use of nanoparticles as carriers. Encapsulation of the drug, as opposed to classical topical application of creams or emulsions, allows the drug to diffuse into hair f...
Bioactive agents carrying quantum dot labeled liposomes Büyüksungur, Arda; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Padeste, Celestino; Department of Biotechnology (2013) Among the many possible applications of nanotechnology in medicine, the use of various nanomaterials as delivery systems for pharmacologically active agents, drugs and nucleic acids (DNA, siRNA), and imaging agents is gaining increased attention. Liposomes are particularly important for these drug delivery systems because of their advantages such as their ability to carry hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, their being of biological origin and short life spans. Quantum Dots (QDs) are nano-scale, semiconducti...
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...
HYDROXYETHYL METHACRYLATE BASED NANOCOMPOSITE HYDROGELS WITH TUNABLE PORE ARCHITECTURE Bat, Erhan (2016-12-01) Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) based hydrogels have found increasing number of applications in areas such as chromatographic separations, controlled drug release, biosensing, and membrane separations. In all these applications, the pore size and pore interconnectivity are crucial for successful application of these materials as they determine the rate of diffusion through the matrix. 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate is a water soluble monomer but its polymer, polyHEMA, is not soluble in water. Therefore, durin...
