Poly(butylcyanoacrylate) nanoparticles for topical delivery of 5-fluorouracil.

Poly(butylcyanoacrylate) nanoparticles (PBCN) as a drug carrier of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) intended for topical treatment of skin lesia were investigated. The presence of 5FU (as saline solution, pH 10-11) in the polymerization medium affected the polymerization as well as the nanoparticle formation by influencing the initiation of the polymerization reaction. 5FU acted as an initiator in the anionic polymerization of n-butylcyanoacrylate monomer through its nucleophilic nitrogen centers. The results obtained by GPC, 1H NMR, and X-ray diffraction allude to a possible mechanism of cytostatic immobilization in the polymer matrix, with evidence for both free and bound forms of the drug.

A novel and selective 5-HT2 receptor agonist with ocular hypotensive activity: (S)-(+)-1-(2-aminopropyl)-8,9-dihydropyrano[3,2-e]indole.

Serotonin 5-HT2 receptor agonists have recently been shown to be effective in lowering intraocular pressure in nonhuman primates and represent a potential new class of antiglaucoma agents. As part of an effort to identify new selective agonists at this receptor, we have found that (S)-(+)-1-(2-aminopropyl)-8,9-dihydropyrano[3,2-e]indole (AL-37350A, 11) has high affinity and selectivity (>1000-fold) for the 5-HT(2) receptor relative to other 5-HT receptors. More specifically, 11 is a potent agonist at the 5-HT2A receptor (EC50 = 28.6 nM, E(max) = 103%) that is comparable to serotonin. Evaluation of 11 in conscious ocular hypertensive cynomolgus monkeys showed this compound to be efficacious in reducing intraocular pressure (13.1 mmHg, -37%). Thus, 11 is a potent full agonist with selectivity for the 5-HT2 receptor and is anticipated to serve as a useful tool in exploring the role of the 5-HT2 receptor and its effector system in controlling intraocular pressure.
