    γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian central nervous system, are arguably the most challenging member of the pentameric Cys-loop receptors to study due to their heteromeric ...
  • Costa, Maria Sofia (University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2019-06)
    In the course of a nearly century-long global effort to discover new bacterialderived drugs from the environment, there have been few innovations to the way that researchers have collected samples and subsequently created microbial libraries sourced ...
  • Praphanwittaya, Pitsiree (University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2020-11)
    Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) causes vision loss in elderly people due to neovascularization. The first line treatments are intravitreal injections which can induce severe pain. Oral administration still produces side effects. ...
  • Lorenzo Veiga, Blanca (University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2020-10-26)
    Ocular drug delivery is very challenging due to the anatomical and physiological barriers of the eye. Poor aqueous solubility of many drugs and short retention time at ocular surfaces makes the formulation of topical dosage forms even more challenging. ...
  • Prajapati, Manisha (University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2022-02)
    Sýklódextrín eru hjálparefni sem notuð eru lyfjaform svo sem vatnslausnir (t.d. stungulyf) og föst lyfjaform (t.d. töflur), til að auka leysanleika, stöðugleika og aðgengi lyfjanna. Í þessu verkefni var notkun sýklódextrína sem hjálparefni í augndropum ...
  • Lorenzo Veiga, Blanca; Sigurdsson, Hakon Hrafn; Loftsson, Thorsteinn; Alvarez-Lorenzo, Carmen (MDPI AG, 2019-05-15)
    Natamycin is the only drug approved for fungal keratitis treatment, but its low water solubility and low ocular penetration limit its efficacy. The purpose of this study was to overcome these limitations by encapsulating the drug in single or mixed ...
