    • The hypotonic environmental changes affect liposomal formulations for nose-to-brain targeted drug delivery 

      Wu, Iren Yeeling; Nikolaisen, Trygg Einar; Skalko-Basnet, Natasa (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-16)
      Systemic administration of drugs is ineffective in the treatment of central nervous system disorders because of the blood-brain barrier. Nasal administration has been suggested as an alternative administration route as drugs absorbed in the olfactory epithelium bypass the blood-brain barrier and reach the brain within minutes. However, the nasal mucosa properties (e.g., tonicity, pH) are not constant ...
    • Interpreting non-linear drug diffusion data: Utilizing Korsmeyer-Peppas model to study drug release from liposomes 

      Wu, Iren Yeeling; Bala, Sonali; Skalko-Basnet, Natasa; Di Cagno, Massimiliano Pio (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-30)
      The aim of this work was to clarify the dynamics behind the influence of ionic strength on the changes in drug release from large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs). For this purpose, we have investigated the transport of two different model drugs (caffeine and hydrocortisone) formulated into liposomes through different types of barriers with different retention properties (regenerated cellulose and the ...
