Nanoparticles to be used for drug delivery during Organ Transplant

28 January 2012

Organ transplant is one of the toughest operations and the drug required during organ transplant can have harmful side effects and the researchers at University of Strathclyde in Glasgow are now in a process to develop a new system that will minimize side-effects. At present cyclosporine is commonly used and the most common side effects of this widely used drugs are kidney and liver damages especially if the medicine is used for prolonged.

Ravi Kumar, Professor at the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences is the main leader of the research, which has found the way of capturing the very small dose of the medicine cyclosporine. The new technique involves nanoparticles and according to the researchers these nanoparticles will help entrapping the cyclosporine.

 Researcher’s further claim that the medicine currently available in market contains vegetable oil based components, which are insoluble in water but are toxic. With the maximum concentration of the drug available in the market, researchers were able to strike balance between strength and safety. The research findings has already been published in the Journal of Biomedical Nanotechnology.
