Development of carrier systems to improve oral bioavailability and target drugs to specific sites continues to be an unmet need. The goal of this study was to evaluate the potential of anionic generation (G) 6.5 poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimers in oral drug delivery by assessing their in vivo oral translocation. G6.5-COOH dendrimers were characterized for their physiochemical characteristics and acute oral toxicity was assessed in CD-1 mice. The dendrimers were labeled with (125)I and their stability evaluated. Oral bioavailability was assessed in the same mouse model. Investigation of the radioactivity profile in plasma revealed presence of both large and small molecular weight compounds. Detailed area under the curve analysis suggests an effective 9.4% bioavailability of radiolabeled marker associated with G6.5-COOH. Results reported here suggest the potential of dendrimers in permeating gastrointestinal barriers in vivo.
开发载体系统以提高口服生物利用度并将药物靶向特定部位仍然是未满足的需求。本研究的目的是通过评估阴离子生成(G)6.5 聚酰胺-胺(PAMAM)树枝状大分子在口服药物递送中的潜力来评估其体内口服转移的能力。对 G6.5-COOH 树枝状大分子进行了理化性质的表征,并在 CD-1 小鼠中评估了其急性口服毒性。用(125)I 标记树枝状大分子,并评估其稳定性。在相同的小鼠模型中评估了口服生物利用度。对血浆中放射性物质分布的研究表明,存在大分子量和小分子量的化合物。详细的曲线下面积分析表明,与 G6.5-COOH 相关的放射性标记标记物的有效生物利用度为 9.4%。这里报道的结果表明,树枝状大分子具有穿透体内胃肠道屏障的潜力。
