				 We  previously  demonstrated  that  monocyte-macrophage  based  drug  delivery  can  be  applied  to  a  spectrum  of  infectious, neoplastic, and degenerative disorders. In particular, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) loaded with  nano  formulated  catalase,   “ nanozyme”, were shown to attenuate neuro inflammation and nigrostriatal degeneration  in  rodent  models  of  Parkinson’s  disease  (PD).  Nonetheless,  the  pharmacokinetics  and  biodistribution  of  BMM- incorporated  nanozyme  has  not  been  explored.  To  this  end,  we  now  demonstrate  that  BMM,  serving  as  a  “depot”  for  nanozyme,  increased  area  under  the  curve(AUC),  half-life,  and  mean  residence  time  in  blood  circulation  of  the  protein when compared to the nanozyme administered alone. Accordingly, bioavailability of the nanozyme for the brain,  spleen, kidney,.. View More»
