Therapeutic Nanoparticles for Renal Disease
University of Arizona researchers have developed a technology that uses biodegradable, polymeric nanoparticles to specifically deliver drugs to the kidney, thereby bypassing off target/organ effects. For example, drugs such as formoterol, a beta 2 adrenergic agonist, can be used to treat acute and chronic renal disease. Encapsulation of these drugs...

Advanced Engineered Formulations of TMP/Ligustrazine and Microparticle/Nanoparticle Formulations for Inhalation Drug Delivery for Lung Vascular, Interstitial and Airway Diseases
This invention formulates Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) in a readily deliverable aerosol to treat pulmonary hypertension and other lung diseases. Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a condition that involves high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. Veins stiffen and narrow, making blood flow more difficult and thus, increased pressure...
