| Abstract | Tri-block copolymer nanoparticles (TCNP) are increasingly utilized, especially in drug delivery and diagnostics platforms. From in vitro studies, surface charge was observed to influence the transport of TCNP across the Caco-2 monolayers grown on transwell inserts. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of surface charge on bioavailability and biodistribution of TCNP after oral exposure in vivo and to compare with the in vitro data. To attain the set objectives, monodisperse (45 ± 5 nm), fluorescent and differently charged (positive and negative) TCNP were orally administered to inbred Fischer 344 rats. Blood samples were collected at t = 0, 1/2, 1, 2, 4 and 6 h followed by sacrifice of the animals and collection of the major organs (lungs, liver, kidney, spleen, brain, intestine, and tibia). Quantitative assessments of TCNP in blood and organs were performed by fluorescence measurements. TCNP of both surface charges got absorbed and appeared in the blood within 1/2 h of oral administration. No significant difference in bioavailability and biodistribution could be found between positive and negative TCNP. Both the TCNP, irrespective of charge, showed major accumulation in the liver, kidneys and spleen, were detected in the brain and did not cause any significant increase in the serum alkaline phosphatase levels. Contrary to the in vitro data, surface charge was not found to influence the in vivo bioavailability and biodistribution of TCNP after oral exposure. The obtained results encourage further development of such TCNP, especially for drug delivery purposes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
