Future Therapies Using Implanted Engineered Cells as Protein Factories

Researchers at MIT have discovered a new set of compounds that do not elicit a foreign body response when implanted. These biomaterials permit the development of a new category of treatment with the ability to deliver therapeutics either at a constant rate or under programmable conditions by using implantable cells as protein factories.

Determination of Related Substances in Pemetrexed Disodium (Form-IV) in Bulk Drug Samples by HPLC

The authors describe the development of a stability-indicating reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP?HPLC) method for the quantitative determination of potential genotoxic impurities present in pemetrexed disodium (form-IV). The chromatographic separation was achieved on a RP?HPLC column (Zorbax SB-Phenyl, Agilent) at ambient temperature with gradient elution using mobile phase A (trifluoroacetic acid [TFA] in water) and mobile phase B (TFA in acetonitrile).

A Perspective on the Topical Delivery of Macromolecules

The human skin protects the body from physical, mechanical, and chemical insults while preventing endogenous water loss. This function is predominantly achieved by a thin (10–30 µm) cornified outermost layer-the stratum corneum (SC)-generated through terminal differentiation of the basal epidermal keratinocytes. The stratum corneum protects the human body, but also severely limits drug delivery into and across the skin.
