[Nanotechnologies: from information sciences to pharmacology].

Jean-Marc JM Grognet

Therapie 63(1):1-9 (2008) PMID 18387270

The considerable breakthroughs of the physics during the last 30 years allowed us to conceive components, devices or materials at the nanoscale level and to manipulate them. Applications are already envisaged in the field of the medical and pharmaceutical sciences. These nanotechnologies will be applied to the biology as well as the diagnosis, the therapeutics and the functional rehabilitation (nanomedicine). Consequences in the pharmaceutical research and development are also possible in a near future.

    We examined the metabolism of F(6)-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3),F(6)-1alpha,23S,25(OH)(3)D(3), and F(6)-23-oxo-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) by human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs). Of these compounds, F(6)-1alpha,23S,25(OH)(3)D(3) was remarkably glucuronidated both in human liver microsomes and in the recombin...

    We found developmental stage-specific switching of regulation of the rat UGT1 gene complex. UGT1A6 was expressed as a predominant component of UGT1 in fetus liver, while other UGT1 isoforms were repressed. In contrast, expression of UGT1A1 surged immediately after birth. Expression of UGT1A5 was tra...
