Funded Activity Summary

CHARGED LIPOSACCHARIDE BASED DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM. Complexation of a drug with lipid and/or sugar units represents one of the most important of the strategies being investigated in this burgeoning field. Increasing the lipid solubility of a hydrophilic compound has been established as an important factor in improving its absorption as it is necessary for passive transport across intestinal mucosal membranes. The role of sugar unit is very important: (i) it modifies the physico-chemical properties (solubility), (ii) utilizes active transport systems (e.g. Glucose transport) and (iii) target the compound - "MAGIC BULET" (Lewis X analogues - damaged cells). There is no limit to the areas of medicine and public health that would benefit from revolutionary new technology in these areas.
