CRIS Current Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishOxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the Alzheimer disease, many epidemiological studies have shown an improvement in cognitive activity and a slowing of disease progression following the administration of antioxidant molecules. Furthermore a previous work has shown that α-tocopherol enriched human lipoproteins enhance the survival of developing rat neurons in vitro [1]. It has recently been shown that when the brain is rich in DHA (an omega-3 fatty acid that can also be biosynthesized starting from α-linolenic acid), production of amyloid plaques is lower, with a decrease of characteristic symptoms of the disease [2]. The purpose of this work was the formulation of liposomes for nasal administration of tacrine-HCl. This route has many advantages; in particular is possible to convey the drug directly to the Central Nervous System (CNS), through the olfactory bulb[3] [4] [5]. Part of Tacrine administered can also be absorbed into the systemic circulation avoiding hepatic first pass effect. Liposomes were formulated with ingredients that have a beneficial effect against the disease. In particular, the classical excipients cholesterol (Cho) and phosphatidylcholine (Phc) were enriched with α-tocopherol (Toc) and polyunsaturated fatty acid EPA and DHA (Ω3). This formulative approach allowed us to obtain 100% active liposomes against symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

| Abstract: | Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the Alzheimer disease, many epidemiological studies have shown an improvement in cognitive activity and a slowing of disease progression following the administration of antioxidant molecules. Furthermore a previous work has shown that α-tocopherol enriched human lipoproteins enhance the survival of developing rat neurons in vitro [1]. It has recently been shown that when the brain is rich in DHA (an omega-3 fatty acid that can also be biosynthesized starting from α-linolenic acid), production of amyloid plaques is lower, with a decrease of characteristic symptoms of the disease [2]. The purpose of this work was the formulation of liposomes for nasal administration of tacrine-HCl. This route has many advantages; in particular is possible to convey the drug directly to the Central Nervous System (CNS), through the olfactory bulb[3] [4] [5]. Part of Tacrine administered can also be absorbed into the systemic circulation avoiding hepatic first pass effect. Liposomes were formulated with ingredients that have a beneficial effect against the disease. In particular, the classical excipients cholesterol (Cho) and phosphatidylcholine (Phc) were enriched with α-tocopherol (Toc) and polyunsaturated fatty acid EPA and DHA (Ω3). This formulative approach allowed us to obtain 100% active liposomes against symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. |
