[ 1 ] - Mechanistic approach for thioridazine-induced hepatotoxicity and potential benefits of melatonin and/or coenzyme Q10 on freshly isolated rat hepatocytes

Thioridazine (TZ) is used mainly in the treatment of schizophrenia. However, hepatotoxicity as a life-threatening adverse effect is associated with its clinical use. In this context, we examined the cytotoxic mechanisms of TZ on freshly isolated rat hepatocytes to better understanding of the pathogenesis of TZ-induced hepatotoxicity. Hepatocytes were prepared by the method of collagenase enzyme...

[ 3 ] - Nanostructured lipid carriers loaded with Melaleuca alternifolia Oil preparation, physicochemical assessment, and evaluation of antimicrobial effects against Staphylococcus epidermidis

Thanks to their outstanding advantages, nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) have recognized in various fields these days. One way to discover extra useful products against typical bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus epidermidis) is NLCs loaded with essential oils. This paper aims to provide NLCs to encapsulate MA oil and characterize and survey the obtained MA...
