Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) are produced from physiologically biocompatible lipids. They have been proven to improve solubility, cellular uptake, and stability, reduce enzyme degradation, prolong the circulation time of various drugs. SLNs applied in oral, parenteral, transdermal, intranasal, ocular, pulmonary drug delivery different drugs, with enhanced safety, bioavailability, overall th...

This work reports on studies concerning with the interaction of important environmental contaminants, such as organotins, with model and biological systems. Organometallic compounds are synthesized and used for applications in industry and agriculture. Moreover, some organometallics can be directly formed in the environment by the action of microbial agents on inorganic precursors. Because of t...

Ellagic acid (EA) is a polyphenolic active compound with antimalarial and other promising therapeutic activities. However, its solubility permeability are both low (BCS IV). These properties greatly compromise oral bioavailability clinical utilizations. To overcome these limitations of the physicochemical parameters, several formulation approaches, including particle size reduction, amorphizati...

Polymer, lipid, and natural protein-based hair care nanocarriers are in preclinical testing. Nanomedicine has enhanced therapeutic efficacy decreased side effects. This review examines herbal nanomedicine for care. We also reviewed the cycle, its morphology, mechanisms of herbal-based medicine that regulate cycle to treat loss. Nano-formulations have better solubility, permeability, efficacy, p...

Incorporation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into liposomes dramatically reduces its ability to coagulate Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL). The coagulation of LAL is commonly used to signal the presence of endotoxin in vitro. This study demonstrates a simple method to release masked endotoxin from liposomal dispersions using moderate amounts of detergent to form mixed micelles containing lipid, dete...

The mechanism of in vivo iron chelation by 3-hydroxypyridin-4-ones (CP compounds) was studied in hypertransfused rats in which the major storage iron pools in hepatocytes and in the reticuloendothelial (RE) system have been labeled by selective radioiron probes. Both dimethyl-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one (CP 20 or L1) and diethyl-3-hydroxypyridine-4-one (CP 94) have an identical and very high (log be...

Cholesterol crystallization in bile is affected by phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) hydrophobicity. The aim of the present study was to determine whether PtdCho species modulate the metastable-labile limit and equilibrium solubility of cholesterol in the micellar phase of bile, thereby altering the distribution of cholesterol to biliary lipid carriers and thus influencing cholesterol crystallizatio...
