Since most photosensitizing and chemotherapeutic agents are poorly soluble in water, leading to their rapid elimination from the bloodstream, encapsulation or association of such agents with suitable materials can improve their in vivo solubility and stability. Thus, this project aims to explore polymer nanoparticles, capable of combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) with chemotherapy in a …
The combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemotherapy is one attractive regime for cancer medication. Nanoparticulate delivery of PDT/chemotherapy payloads involves the highly complex biological, chemical, and transport barriers, among which the rapid cargo release into cytoplasm is one critical step. The generation of traditional triggered-release nanocarriers often necessitates…
The developing of new carrier systems for active ingredients aim to modify the limiting physicochemical properties of drugs, improving thereby its pharmacodynamic (therapeutic effect potentiation), pharmacokinetics (control of the absorption and distribution on tissues) and reducing their toxic effects (local and systemic toxicity). The modification of the permeability and solubility of a…
3D printing plays an important role in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, with emphasis on the fused deposition modeling (FDM) technique. Polycaprolactone (PCL), a semi-crystalline polymer, biodegradable and commonly used in this technique. However, PCL is associated with other polymers to overcome its slow degradation kinetics. Therefore, the present project aims to produce fi…
With the significant increase in studies related to sustainability and reuse of raw materials, which are often discarded and unused, the proposal is to use extracts from plants and vegetables that are not used or are underused. In this study, the objective is to produce a membrane made of carboxymethyl pullulan (CMPull) and sodium alginate (SA) incorporated with ethanolic extract of Dille…
Cancer represents one of the biggest public health problems in the world, and one of the main death causes in humans. Depending on the evolution and type of tumor, different methods can be applied for treating the disease, and chemotherapy is one of the most used. Aiming to improve chemotherapy methods, new pharmaceutical technologies have been developed, like drug carriers based on biopo…
Cancer represents one of the greatest threats to human health and Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most incident Cancers and the third main reason of Cancer death worldwide. Thus, the development of new and more effective therapies against HCC has attracted increased attention in the medical and pharmaceutical fields, since traditional chemotherapy treatments do not have a hig…

The present project proposal aims to carry out a research internship abroad for a period of four months, associated with the scientific initiation project currently under execution by the interested student. In the project developed at EEL-USP, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Simone F. M. Sampaio, the student applies a pullulan-based polymer, pullulan-DEAE-g-poly(Z-L-lysine) (PULL-DEAE…
In the project developed at EEL-USP, the student evaluates the use of a cationic copolymer, obtained from the chemical modification of the polysaccharide pullulan (PUL). The final material has the ability to self-aggregate in aqueous media forming biodegradable nanoparticles, to study the encapsulation and release, in a controlled manner, localized and with synergistic effect, of two chem…
The Scientific Initiation research project carried out by Graziele Aparecida de Jesus Aguiar, undergraduate student in the Polymer Laboratory of the EEL/USP, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Simone de Fatima Medeiros and Prof. Dr. Amilton Martins dos Santos, aims the use of biocompatible and thermoresponsive block copolymers in developing systems for controlled drug delivery. The first …
