medicine | intensive care medication of ischemic stroke, thrombus targeting nanosystems could serve as carriers for enhanced delivery of enzyme tPA to the thrombi in order to increase its effective local concentrations. Biocompatible magnetite drug carriers, stabilized by a dextran shell, are developed to carry tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) for targeted thrombolysis under an external magnetic field, method evaluation, overview. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have attracted great attention in many biomedical fields and are used in preclinical/experimental drug delivery, hyperthermia and medical imaging. All synthesized types of nanoparticles are well tolerated in cell culture experiments with human umbilical vein endothelial cells, indicating their potential utility for future therapeutic applications in thromboembolic diseases | Homo sapiens |

additional information | construction of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)-loaded iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONDex-COOH-tPA) which can target blood clots via magnetic guidance and induce local fibrinolysis, overview. tPA is bound to the particles via adsorption or covalent binding due to a 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester. The hydrodynamic size of carboxymethylated SPIONs depends on covalently bound or adsorbed tPA. In case of covalent immobilization, the supernatants exhibit only minimal activity below 10%, while the supernatant of the adsorptive approach shows an activity of approx. 15% for all tPA concentrations.

Storage Stability | Organism |
---|---|
4°C, for 5 weeks, after this storage, the lysis of fibrin networks shows only a slight decrease in the tPA activity at lowest tPA concentrations, in both the covalent and adsorptive approach. Covalently bound tPA still posses 69% of the original activity and adsorptively bound tPA has 73% activity retention. Increased protein load on the particles leads to a greater loss of activity upon storage | Homo sapiens |
