Abstract:
The present invention relates to a biodegradable microparticle composition useful for the target specific drug delivery to manage pulmonary tuberculosis, said composition comprising two anti-tuberculosis drugs, and a biodegradable polymer for drug delivery in a ratio of about 1:2 to 2:1, wherein the anti-tubercular drugs are in the ratio of 1:2 to 2:1, also, a process for the preparation of the composition, and lastly, a method of treating pulmonary tuberculosis in a subject, said method comprising administering by inhalation alone or in combination with oral route, pharmaceutically effective amount of the composition to the subject in need thereof, wherein the dosage for inhalation is ranging between 0.5 to 10 mg/kg body weight/day and that for oral route is ranging between 4 to 32 mg/kg body weight/day.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes compositions, vaccine, and methods that involve a biocomposite material Generally, the biocomposite material includes a cell and a lipid-silica matrix at least partially encapsulating the cell. In some cases, the cell can be viable but not culturable (VBNC). In some cases, the lipid-silica matrix includes a dried sol and/or possesses ordered nanostructure.
