Special Issue: The Biological Fate of Drug Nanocarriers
This special issue includes seven review and nine research articles from some leading scientists in the field that further the discussion on subtopics of in vivo fate of drug nanocarriers.
Guest Editors: Wei Wu, Professor, Department of Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmacy, Fudan University, Shanghai, China; Tonglei Li, Professor, Department of Industrial & Physical Pharmacy, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA; Ying Zheng, Professor, State Key Laboratory of Quality Research in Chinese Medicine, Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences, University of Macau, Macau, China.
The Journal of the Institute of Materia Medica, the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B (APSB) is a monthly journal, in English, which publishes significant original research articles, rapid communications and high quality reviews of recent advances in all areas of pharmaceutical sciences -- including pharmacology, pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, natural products, pharmacognosy, pharmaceutical analysis and pharmacokinetics.
Featured papers in this issue are:
Intracellular uptake of nanocrystals: Probing with aggregation-induced emission of fluorescence and kinetic modelling by authors Jifen Zhang, Clairissa D. Corpstein and Tonglei Li, (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsb.2020.09.017). Nanocrystals of tetrakis (4-hydroxyphenyl) ethylene (THPE) were incubated with KB cells and the intracellular uptake was characterized by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry based on aggregation-induced emission property of THPE, as well as quantitative analyses of THPE. The intracellular dissolution kinetics model was established to further understand the cellular absorption mechanism of nanocrystals.
Impact of particle size and pH on protein corona formation of solid lipid nanoparticles: A proof-of-concept study by authors Wenhao Wang, Zhengwei Huang, Yanbei Li, Wenhua Wang, Jiayu Shi, Fangqin Fu, Ying Huang, Xin Pan and Chuanbin Wu (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsb.2020.10.023). Different protein corona formation phenomena were shown in solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNS) with the various size and medium pH. The biological effect and the underlying interaction mechanisms were studied to provide a systematic perspective.
In vivo dissolution of poorly water-soluble drugs: Proof of concept based on fluorescence bioimaging by authors Yinqian Yang, Yongjiu Lv, Chengying Shen, Tingting Shi, Haisheng He, Jianping Qi, Xiaochun Dong, Weili Zhao, Yi Lu, and Wei Wu (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsb.2020.08.002 Authentic in vitro?in vivo correlation should be established between in vitro dissolution and in vivo dissolution which however has never been determined accurately. This study provides proof of concept of in vivo dissolution based on live imaging of fluorescently hybridized crystals of a model poorly water-soluble drug fenofibrate.
