Stable Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry for Membrane Transporter Quantitation
Journal Title: The AAPS Journal - Year 2013, Vol 15, Issue 4
Abstract
This review provides an introduction to stable isotope dilution mass spectrometry (MS) and its emerging applications in the analysis of membrane transporter proteins. Various approaches and application examples, for the generation and use of quantitation reference standards—either stable isotope-labeled peptides or proteins—are discussed as they apply to the MS quantitation of membrane proteins. Technological considerations for the sample preparation of membrane transporter proteins are also presented.

Effect of 4-sulphonato-calix[n]arenes and cyclodextrins on the solubilization of niclosamide, a poorly water soluble anthelmintic
The present study investigated the effect of water-soluble 4-sulphonato-calx[n]arenes, cyclodextrins, and combinations of these macromolecules on the aqueous solubility of a poorly water-soluble drug, niclosamide. Comple...
Modification of Disodium Cromoglycate Passage Across Lung Epithelium In Vitro Via Incorporation into Polymeric Microparticles
Two microparticle systems containing disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) alone or with polyvinyl alcohol (DSCG/PVA) were produced via spray drying and compared in terms of their physicochemical characteristics, aerosol performa...
Development and characterization of biodegradable chitosan films for local delivery of paclitaxel
Intratumoral and local drug delivery strategies have gained momentum recently as a promising modality in cancer therapy. In order to deliver paclitaxel at the tumor site in therapeutically relevant concentrations, chitos...
Mitochondria-targeted peptide antioxidants: Novel neuroprotective agents
Increasing evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress play a crucial role in the majority of neurodegenerative diseases. Mitochondria are a major source of intracellular reactive oxygen species...
Bladder Tissue Pharmacokinetics of Intravesical Mitomycin C and Suramin in Dogs
Suramin, at non-cytotoxic doses, reverses chemoresistance and enhances the activity of mitomycin C (MMC) in mice bearing human bladder xenograft tumors. The present study evaluated the pharmacokinetics of the intravesica...
