Chitosan (CS)-polylacticacid (PLA)-polyethylene glycol (PEG)-gelatin (G) nanoparticles, a novel drug vehicle for the controlled release of an antitubercluosis drug, rifampicin (RIF) was developed and its chemical and biochemical activities were studied by various standard methods. The designed carriers CS, PEG and G nanoparticles were prepared by emulsion solvent evaporation technique, and then...

S-adenosyl-l-methionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) in the polyamine biosynthesis pathway has been identified as a suitable drug target in Plasmodium falciparum parasites, which causes the most lethal form of malaria. Derivatives of an irreversible inhibitor of this enzyme, 5'-{[(Z)-4-amino-2-butenyl]methylamino}-5'-deoxyadenosine (MDL73811), have been developed with improved pharmacokinetic profi...

Essential oils are complex blends of a variety of volatile molecules such as terpenoids, phenol-derived aromatic components, and aliphatic components having a strong interest in pharmaceutical, sanitary, cosmetic, agricultural, and food industries. Since the middle ages, essential oils have been widely used for bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal, antiparasitical, insecticidal, and other medici...

Engineering plasmonic nanostructures that simultaneously achieve high colloidal stability, high photothermal stability, low non-specific binding to biological specimens, and low toxicity is of significant interest to research in bionanotechnology. Using gold nanorods, we solved this problem by encapsulating them with a multilayer structure, silica, hydrophobic ligands, and amphiphilic-polymers....

Bromeliads are used in landscaping due to the beauty of their leaves and flowers. The use plant regulators such as nitric oxide (NO) promotes stimulus germination it has been a way out enhance production reduce search for plants nature nanoencapsulation aims optimize its effect. objective this work was evaluate effect using free nanoencapsulated NO donor on D. excelsa. treatments consisted soak...

The food industry has been looking to incorporate bioactive compounds in foods aiming at nutritional and functional benefits the health of consumers. Spirulina biomass contains with a high biological value, such as proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, pigments, fatty acids biopeptides. advance nanobiotechnology allows development products. Nanoencapsulation contributes reduction undesirable flavo...

Abstract In recent years, considerable attention has been given to phase change materials (PCMs) that is suggested as a possible medium for thermal energy storage. PCM encapsulation technology an efficient method of enhancing conductivity and solving problems corrosion leakage during charging process. Moreover, nanoencapsulation with polymer several benefits storage media, such small-scale, hig...
