Limitations of pig skin as in vitro model mimicking skin with damaged barrier properties
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-05-20)Skin is an alternative route for the administration of drugs and has several advantages compared to the oral administration route. However, for a drug substance to act systemically after topical application it has to penetrate through the skin barrier (stratum corneum). Therefore it is important to investigate drug penetration through both healthy and damaged skin (reduced barrier properties). In ... -
Lipidklasser og fettsyresammensetning i brunpølse (Cucumaria frondosa)
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-05-20)Different species of the sea cucumber are a well utilized resource in eastern parts of Asia, but not much used in western parts of the world. The annual harvest of sea cucumbers in Asian waters has been estimated to be over 100,000 tons. This has led to overfishing and decreasing catches. As a result, a demand for new fishing areas has occurred. Different species of sea cucumbers are observed in ... -
Lipidklasser og fettsyresammensetning i omega-3 produkter
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-05-20)Nasjonalt råd for ernæring anbefaler å spise fisk og sjømat fordi de innholder de flerumettede omega-3 fettsyrene eikosapentaensyre (EPA: 20:5n-3) og dokosahekaensyre (DHA: 22: 6n-3). Mye forskning viser kobling mellom omega-3 fettsyrene og helsegevinster. Helsegevinstene er at disse fettsyrene er betennelsesdempende, de reduserer risiko for å utvikle sykdommer som revmatoid artritt, hjerte -kar ... -
Lipidomics of marine microalgae with industrial potential
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-11)Two species diatoms, Porosira glacialis and Coscinodicus radiatus were cultivated under red-, white- or blue light. The biomass from cultivation was extracted for lipids which were subsequently analyzed using UHPLC-MS and the software lipidsearch. The aim was to investigate omega-3 long chain fatty acid content differences in the different cultivations. Findings suggest that blue light cultivation ... -
Liposomal formulations for membrane active antimicrobials – Assuring safety through an optimised drug delivery system
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-13)Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) and chronic wounds are major challenges for the healthcare system worldwide. The additional rapid development of antibacterial resistance and lack of successful treatment strategies increase the chance for infected chronic wounds to be fatal for the patient. Therefore, there is a need for more efficient dermal antimicrobial therapies. A class of promising ... -

The presence of mitochondria as a subcellular organelle has been known for more than one and a half century. However, only the last decades’ research has discovered their role in ageing and disease pathology, which have led to increasing interest in mitochondria as target for drug ... -
Liposomes as Potential Carrier for Bioactive β2,2- Amino Acid Derivatives - A Feasibility Study
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-05-13)The emergence of antibiotic resistant bacterial strains is a rising global problem that does not only result in fatal infections of previously treatable cases, but increases also the economic burden of health care systems. The same applies for cancer as treatment of some cancer types is difficult and also resistance to treatment is an increasing problem in cancer chemotherapy. Novel treatment ... -
Liposomes-in-hydrogel delivery system containing resveratrol for the local treatment of vaginal infections
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2018-05-15)Administering drug formulations to the vagina is a challenge since the vagina possesses “self-cleaning” features which allow trapping and rapid removing of foreign particles. Therefore, the residence time of drugs is often too short to offer a sufficient clinical effect. The aim of this project was to develop and optimize a liposomes-in-hydrogel system containing resveratrol for the local treatment ... -
Mass Spectrometry Based Metabolomic and Lipidomic Analyses of Algal Biomass.
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-05-14)Background: In a project at UiT - the Arctic University of Norway, the lipid profile of the microalgal biomass from the specie Porosira glacialis is mapped using HRMS lipidomic analyses to evaluate the potential for the biomass to be used as fish feed. At the same time, it is desired to screen the same biomass for bioactivities using bioassays in combination with HRMS metabolomic analyses. ... -
Medication Assessment Tool for evaluering av antibiotikabehandling for pasienter med samfunnservervet pneumoni (MAT-CAP) i sykehus. Oppdatering, videreutvikling og applisering
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-05-13)Bakgrunn: Medication Assessment Tool (MAT) er et verktøy som brukes for undersøke hvorvidt forskrivning av legemidler er i henhold til kliniske retningslinjer. Et MAT for å undersøke behandling av CAP (MAT-CAP) ble utviklet i 2009 basert på lokale og internasjonale retningslinjer. I 2013 ble det i Norge publisert en nasjonal retningslinje for bruk av antibiotika i sykehus. Formål: å oppdatere og ... -

The immediate objective of this research was to quantify the presence of ... -
Melt processability of amorphous solid dispersions during hot-melt extrusion. Screening using vacuum compression moulding and evaluation by rheology and solid-state analysis
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-15)Soluplus is a suitable excipient for innovative manufacturing techniques such as hot-melt extrusion (HME). While Soluplus is useful for forming amorphous solid dispersions (ASD’s) during HME, the resulting extrudates are often stiff and brittle. In order to achieve suitable dosage forms, with optimal downstream processability, an efficient screening for suitable formulations is required. Vacuum ... -
Mercaptoalkanol-derived self-immolative linkers for bioconjugates. Synthesis and analysis
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-01-11)Many of the anticancer compounds discovered through synthesis or bioprospecting activities are found to be equally toxic to healthy cells and tumors. Consequently, these compounds are not considered as promising drug candidates worthy of further study. This project seeks to develop a novel chemical toolkit that can be utilized to increase the therapeutic value of such toxic compounds by decreasing ... -
