Tissue-reactive drugs enable materials-free local depots

JOURNAL OF CONTROLLED RELEASE, 343, 142–151.

By: S. Pandit n, S. Palvai n, N. Massaro n, J. Pierce n & Y. Brudno n

author keywords: Sustained release; Materials-free delivery; Paclitaxel; Pancreatic cancer; Extracellular matrix; N-hydroxysuccinimide ester
MeSH headings : Animals; Cell Line, Tumor; Drug Delivery Systems; Drug Liberation; Hydrogels; Mice; Paclitaxel; Pancreatic Neoplasms / drug therapy
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that locally injected TRAPs create dispersed, stable intratumoral depots deep within mouse and human pancreatic tumor tissues, and had better solubility than free paclitaxel and enabled sustained in vitro and in vivo drug release. (via Semantic Scholar)

Rapid synthesis of the core scaffold of crinane and haemanthamine through a multi-component approach

TETRAHEDRON LETTERS, 75.

By: N. Massaro n & J. Pierce n

author keywords: Amaryllidaceae alkaloids; Heterocycles; Multicomponent; Natural products; Total synthesis
TL;DR: A key highlight of the approach is the modularity of the core synthesis, overcoming existing challenges for these scaffolds and providing a path to explore site-selective oxidation to expand the scope of molecules accessible from common intermediates. (via Semantic Scholar)
