Exploiting the Vitamin B<sub>12</sub> Pathway To Enhance Oral Drug Delivery via Polymeric Micelles
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Vitamin B12 (VB12)-modified dextran-g-polyethyleneoxide cetyl ether (DEX-g-PEO-C16) was synthesized by linking VB12 residues to a DEX-g-PEO-C16 copolymer via a 2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)bis(ethylamine) spacer. The level of VB12 substitution on the DEX-g-PEO-C16 copolymer reached 1.68% (w/w). In aqueous solution, DEX-based copolymers form micelles that can entrap within their hydrophobic core up to 8.5% w/w of cyclosporin A (CsA), a poorly water soluble immunosuppressant. The permeability of Caco-2 cell membranes to CsA incorporated in VB12 modified and unmodified polymeric micelles was monitored in the presence and absence of intrinsic factor (IF). The apical (AP) to basolateral (BL) permeation of CsA through Caco-2 cell monolayers after 24 h of transport was significantly higher (1.8 and 2.3 times in absence and presence of IF, respectively) in the case of CsA loaded in VB12-modified polymeric micelles, compared to CsA in unmodified micelles. The results point to possible improvement in the application of polysaccharide-based polymeric micelles as targeted polymeric drug carriers for the oral delivery of poorly water soluble drugs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
