Many recent papers reflect ongoing research and development concerning pharmaceutical
applications of Raman techniques. This short review highlights different Raman techniques …

The vicinity of metallic nanostructures that provides intense optical fields is termed as “hot
spot”. Any molecule in close proximity to these hot spots will give rise to an increased …

Retinoblastoma (Rb) is the most common primary malignant intraocular tumor in children
which develops from the retinal stem cells. Systemic chemotherapy is the typical therapeutic …

DNA damaging agents including anthracyclines, camptothecins and platinum drugs are
among most frequently used drugs in the chemotherapeutic routine. Due to their relatively …

These studies describe the role of transition metal ions in the liposomal encapsulation of
topotecan. Liposomes (1, 2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC) and cholesterol …

We report for the first time the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) studies on p300,
a large multidomain transcriptional coactivator protein. Vibration spectral analysis has been …

Drug release from liposomal formulations is governed by a complex interplay of kinetic (ie,
drug permeability) and thermodynamic factors (ie, drug partitioning to the bilayer surface) …

The methodology to modify a simple fluorescence microscope to perform sophisticated
Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) experiments, retaining the primary function of …

The characterization of drug and drug intermediates is necessary in the drug development
process, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. Various analytical techniques are …
