Evaluation of cannabidiol nanoparticles and nanoemulsion biodistribution in the central nervous system after intrathecal administration for the treatment of pain. Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine, 49, Article 102664. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nano.2023.102664

We investigated how the biodistribution of cannabidiol (CBD) within the central nervous system (CNS) is influenced by two different formulations, an oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsion and polymer-coated nanoparticles (PCNPs). We observed that both CBD f...

European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 182, 53-61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejpb.2022.11.016

Systemic drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) has been historically impeded by the presence of the blood brain barrier rendering many therapies inefficacious to any cancer cells residing within the brain. Therefore, local drug delivery s... Read More about Development of nanoparticle loaded microneedles for drug delivery to a brain tumour resection site.

Etoposide and olaparib polymer-coated nanoparticles within a bioadhesive sprayable hydrogel for post-surgical localised delivery to brain tumours (2020)
Journal Article
McCrorie, P., Mistry, J., Taresco, V., Lovato, T., Fay, M., Ward, I., …Rahman, R. (2020). Etoposide and olaparib polymer-coated nanoparticles within a bioadhesive sprayable hydrogel for post-surgical localised delivery to brain tumours. European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 157, 108-120. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejpb.2020.10.005

Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumour with a median survival of 14.6 months from diagnosis. Despite maximal surgical resection and concurrent chemoradiotherapy, reoccurrence is inevitable. To try combating the disease at a stage of low residual tu...

Development of Pyrazolo[3,4- d]pyrimidine Kinase Inhibitors as Potential Clinical Candidates for Glioblastoma Multiforme (2020)
Journal Article
Greco, C., Taresco, V., Pearce, A. K., Vasey, C. E., Smith, S., Rahman, R., …Schenone, S. (2020). Development of Pyrazolo[3,4- d]pyrimidine Kinase Inhibitors as Potential Clinical Candidates for Glioblastoma Multiforme. ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 11(5), 657-663. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsmedchemlett.9b00530

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain tumor. Residual cells at the tumor margin are responsible for up to 85% of GBM recurrences after standard treatment. Despite this evidence, the identification of compounds active on t...
