The present invention is directed to compositions and methods targeting cells in a subject harboring conditions or at risk for conditions that would benefit from gas-based diagnostic and therapy. The present invention relates to the use of fluorochemical compositions and methods of delivery that result in retention of the fluorochemical composition and any bioactive agent, including gaseous substances, delivered in combination with the fluorochemical composition.

The invention provides a delayed release dosage form and a bolus configured for administration to an animal, wherein said dosage form and said bolus is configured to release a hydrophobic substance to the animal over a period of time. Preferably the hydrophobic substance is a haloform. Also provided is the use of the delayed release dosage form or bolus of the invention to reduce methane production in a ruminant animal. Also provided is the method of manufacturing a bolus of the invention.

A method of anesthetizing a subject that includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of an NMDA antagonist to the subject is described. The method also includes administering an effective amount of a presynaptic glutamate release inhibitor to the subject to decrease the neurotoxic and/or psychomimetic side effects of the NMDA antagonist. Pharmaceutical compositions including an NMDA antagonist and a presynaptic glutamate release inhibitor are also described.

Liposomes have been used in technologies in biological, pharmaceutical, medical and nutritional applications because they can offer biocompatibility, biodegradability, reduced toxicity, and capacity for size and surface modifications. Traditionally, liposomes are prepared by multiple steps. However, multiple steps of preparation may cause a number of problems including low yield, high polydispersity, and poor morphology. Here, we synthesized liposomes containing magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle using one-pot, single step synthesis under ultra-sonication. We optimized the lipid compositions, sonication power, concentration of iron oxide nanoparticles, and antibody conjugation using Cu-free click chemistry. Furthermore, we incorporated doxorubicin inside magnetic liposomes for combined antibody targeting and magnetic guidance. Fluorescence imaging and quantification confirmed that antibody conjugated magnetic liposome showed high cell specific targeting that was enhanced by magnetic delivery.
