Hydroxypropyl starch was synthesized by modified sago starch with hydroxypropylation reaction. Hydroxypropyl starch nanoparticles with mean particle sizes of 110 nm are obtained by controlled precipitation through the drop-wise addition of dissolved hydroxypropyl starch solution into excess absolute ethanol. Piperine was loaded onto hydroxypropyl starch nanoparticles and native starch nanoparti...

Lipid-based nanostructures have garnered considerable interests over the last two decades, and achieved tremendous clinical success including first approval of a liposome (Doxil) for cancer therapy in 1995 recent COVID-19 mRNA lipid nanoparticle vaccines. Compared to liposomes which bilayer surrounding an aqueous core, nanoparticles with particle structure several attractive advantages encapsul...

We report here a unique method for formulating doxorubicin-polylactide (Doxo-PLA) conjugate nanoparticles, known as nanoconjugates (NCs), through Doxo/(BDI)ZnN(TMS)(2)-mediated [(BDI) = 2-((2,6-diisopropylphenyl)amido)-4-((2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-imino)-2-pentene], chemo- and regioselective polymerizations of lactide (LA) followed by nanoprecipitation. When Doxo/(BDI)ZnN(TMS)(2) was mixed with 1...

Abstract Contrast Induced Nephropathy is the most severe side-effect arising after non-ionic iodinated contrast agents (CAs) intravenous administration. The use of antioxidants (i.e., N-Acetylcysteine; NAC) one attempted prevention approaches. Herein, we describe microfluidic-assisted synthesis polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) as new multifunctional blood pool CA. aim this research to co-encapsula...
