Abstract:

Master of Science (Nanoscience)<br>Neuroblastomas (NBs) are the most common solid extra-cranial tumours diagnosed in childhood and characterized by a high risk of tumour relapse. Like in other tumour types, there are major concerns about the specificity and safety of available drugs used for the treatment of NBs, especially because of potential damage to the developing brain. Many plant-derived bioactive compounds have proved effective for cancer treatment but are not delivered to tumour sites in sufficient amounts due to compromised tumour vasculature characterized by leaky capillary walls.

Abstract:

The blood brain barrier (BBB) poses a significant hurdle to brain drug delivery. However, the location of the olfactory mucosa, within the nasal cavity, is a viable target site for direct nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery, thereby bypassing the BBB. To exploit this target site innovative nasal formulations are required for targeting and increasing residency within the olfactory mucosa. We developed and characterised three formulation systems for N2B delivery, (i) thermoresponsive mucoadhesion nasal gels sprays; (ii) mesoporous silica nanoparticles and (iii) nasal pMDI devices.

Towards the development of drug carriers that are capable of crossing the Blood Brain Barrier, the techniques of emulsion polymerisation and nanoprecipitation have been utilised to produce nanoparticulate carriers from a systematic series of alkylglyceryl dextrans (of two different average molecular weights, 6 kDa and 100 kDa) that had been functionalised with ethyl and butyl cyanoacrylates. Also, zero length grafting of polylactic acid to butyl, octyl and hexadecylglyceryl dextrans has allowed the preparation of polylactic acid-functionalised nanoparticles.

In addition, targeted chemotherapy using liposomes provides the opportunity for further increase in drug accumulation in tumor.

Abstract:

Over one in five cancer patients will develop brain metastases and prognosis remains poor. Effective chemotherapeutics for primary systemic tumours have limited access to brain metastases owing to the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The aim of this study was to develop a strategy for specifically permeabilising the BBB at sites of cerebral metastases. Tumour necrosis factor was injected intravenously into mouse models of haematogenously induced brain metastasis. BBB permeability was assessed through histology and in vivo MRI and SPECT. Tumour burden and neuroinflammation were assessed after injecti

Abstract:

Primary brain tumors are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Approximately one-third of tumors are malignant and the remaining are benign or borderline malignant. High-grade glioma, in particular glioblastoma, management is a great challenge for both neurosurgeons and patients. More than 45% of CNS primary malignant tumours are glioblastoma and their 5 year-survival is only 5% on average. Although biomolecular differences between glioblastoma IDH-WT and IDH-mutant might account for different outcomes, treatment strategies, including surgical EOR, chemiotherapy and ra

Abstract:

One of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the amyloid plaque deposition in aging brains by aggregation of amyloid-? (A?) peptides. In this study, the effect of chloroplast derived myelin basic protein (MBP) fused with cholera toxin subunit B (CTB) was investigated in advanced diseased stage of human and mouse AD brains. The CTB-fusion protein in chloroplasts facilitates transmucosal delivery in the gut by the natural binding ability of CTB pentameric form with GM1 receptors on the intestinal epithelium. Further, bioencapsulation of the MBP within plant cells confers prot

In questo lavoro di tesi si sono sintetizzate nanoparticelle di poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) al fine di incapsulare dei farmaci utili alla cura della tripanosomiasi africana umana. Le due molecole scelte per essere incapsulate sono la Suramina e la Pentamidina, ad oggi utilizzate per curare la sindrome nella prima fase di infezione, quando il parassita si trova ancora nel flusso sanguigno. Nel decorso della malattia il parassita invade anche il sistema nervoso centrale rendendo vano il trattamento con i farmaci sovracitati in quanto, non essendo presente un loro target molecolare sulla Barrie

Abstract:

I sistemi di veicolazione del farmaco sono largamente studiati come tra i più efficienti metodi per migliorare l’efficacia dei farmaci. Negli ultimi vent’anni un’enorme attenzione è stata focalizzata sui sistemi nanometrici di veicolazione che sono in grado di interagire selettivamente con organismi patogeni, cellule o tessuti. Tra i gli eccipienti utilizzabili nella preparazione di questi sistemi, lipidi e oligosaccaridi mostrano una elevata biocompatibilità, biodegradabilità e idoneità per la somministrazione di farmaci attraverso varie vie. Lo scopo della tesi è stato lo sviluppo di sistemi

Abstract:

The invasive nature of glioblastoma (GBM) represents a significant challenge to the standard of care and contributes to poor clinical outcomes. Invasion of tumors into healthy brain restricts chemotherapeutic access and complicates surgical resection. The central hypothesis of the thesis is that an effective anti-invasive agent can enhance the standard chemotherapeutic response in invasive brain tumors. Through a screen of novel compounds, a new anti-invasive small molecule, Imipramine Blue (IB), was identified. This triphenylmethane compound inhibits invasion of highly invasive glioma in vit
