Popis: |
A novel technique, by which protein drugs effective in small doses can be released over a long period, was developed using silicone and a water-soluble substance. In this study, interferon (IFN) was used as a model of the protein drugs. The IFN-silicone formulation released IFN over long periods of time in vitro and suppressed tumor growth in nude mice for about 100 days after a single administration. This indicates that physiologically active IFN is released over a prolonged period of time from the IFN-silicone formulation in vivo. Silicone formulations are expected to be a practically feasible sustained-release formulation. |
