Physical evaluation of the prepared cubogels The freshly prepared cubo-gels were examined by visual inspection‚ where the prepared formulae were examined for their physical characteristics (e.g.‚ color and homogeneity). In addition‚ the pH of a 10 % aqueous solution of the Cl-cubogels was measured. 2.6.2.

The Elusive Prions and CJD: possible to treat? Introduction to Prion Disease Prion disease is an infectious neurodegenerative disease caused by a naturally occurring protein (PrPC) misfolding into an aberrant form (PrPSC) which aggregates and destroys neuronal tissue. PrPSC was originally posited by Stanley Prusiner to be the sole causative moiety in prion disease (Prion Theory)‚ however there is some evidence to suggest that unknown toxic intermediates‚ co-factors‚ and certain nucleic acids

PM-DTPA/PTX was developed to passively target solid tumors‚ however‚ instability of micellar carriers in an aqueous medium are often reported problems. Thus lyophilization is a potential alternative to prevent instability in these cases[23‚24‚30]. Given that freeze-dried kits for radiodiagnosis are reported as an easy‚ fast‚ safe and reproducible way to obtain radiopharmaceuticals‚ it has been seen as a safe and effective alternative to prepare the PM-DTPA/PTX formulation[22‚31‚32].
