The aim of this work was to study the in situ and in vivo nasal absorption of borneol. A novel single pass in situ nasal perfusion technique was applied to examine the rate and extent of nasal absorption of borneol by rats. Experimental conditions, such as perfusion rate, pH and drug concentration,
A series of modified beta-cyclodextrins with nucleobase substituents, that is, mono(6-ade-6-deoxy)-beta-cyclodextrin (2) and mono(6-ura-6-deoxy)-beta-cyclodextrin (3) as well as mono(6-thy-6-deoxy)-beta-cyclodextrin (4), were selected as molecular receptors to investigate their conformation and
Borneol, a bicyclic monoterpene, has been evaluated for antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities. Antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities were studied by measuring nociception by acetic acid, formalin, hot plate, and grip strength tests, while inflammation was prompted by
Both geniposide (Ge) and natural borneol (NB) are bioactive substances derived from traditional Chinese herbs. The effect of NB on the pharmacokinetics of Ge in rat via intranasal administration was investigated. The concentrations of Ge in plasma were determined by reversed-phase high-performance
A new type of fluorescent chemosensor, based on modified cyclodextrins bearing the fluorophore unit NBD-amine, was prepared. One of these new chemosensors, NC0betaCD, is sensitive to adamantane and borneol derivatives, which have a comparatively spherical shape that fits the beta-CD cavity, but is
Smart drug carrier with function-oriented adaptations is highly desired due to its unique properties in medical applications. Herein, adaptive chitosan hollow microspheres (CHM) are fabricated by employing interfacial Schiff-base bonding reaction. Hydrophilic macromolecules of glycol chitosan are
