This analysis explores the principal regulatory concerns linked to nanomedicines and gene vaccines, including complexities involved perspectives on how navigate them. In realm of nanomedicines, ensuring safety nanomaterials is paramount due their unique characteristics potential interactions with biological systems. Regulatory bodies are actively formulating guidelines standards assess risks associated nanomedicine products, emphasizing need for standardized characterization techniques...
Abstract Lactoferrin (Lf) is a glycoprotein belonging to the transferrin family, which can be found in mammalian milk. It was first isolated from bovine milk 1930s, and later 1960s, it determined human This multifunctional protein has specific ability bind iron. plays various biological roles, such as antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-tumour, anti-obesity, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory immunomodulatory activities. There are several studies describing its use against cancer cell...
Recently, studies on the by-products from food industry, such as passion fruit seeds, have significantly increased, these can an added value, due to their properties, potential antioxidant activity. This study was conducted determine presence of piceatannol and resveratrol in various extracts (Passiflora edulis) seeds Madeira Island a commercial oil used reference. The that were obtained by traditional Soxhlet method with ethanol acetone did not reveal two stilbenes, resveratrol. However,...
Abstract The delivery of peptides and proteins usually faces formulation development challenges attributed to the difficulties encountered in their stabilization. Nanoparticles offer an alternative improve physicochemical stability such biomacromolecules, while increasing bioavailability by overcoming biological absorption barriers. With this review, we aim discuss problems that have driven scientific community find nanotechnology a valid for oral administration biomolecules. In addition,...
It has been reported that the antioxidant activity of passion fruit seeds oil is comparable to ascorbic acid, due a high content polyphenols such as stilbenes. The aim this study was use residues from Madeira Island food industry produce seed extracts by Soxhlet and Ultrasound methods, using acetone ethanol, in order determine presence stilbenes (piceatannol resveratrol) High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). obtained ultrasound method showed piceatannol resveratrol content, while...
Abstract: The high levels of antibiotic resistance registered worldwide have become a serious health problem, threatening the currently available treatments for series infectious diseases. With antibiotics becoming less and effective, it is increasingly difficult and, in some cases, impossible to treat patients with even common diseases, such as pneumonia. inability meet ever-increasing demand control microbial infection requires both search new antimicrobials improved site-specific...
Passion fruit oil has been used on the skin as a moisturizer, antioxidant, and depigmenting, due to its high content of polyphenols. The objective this work was evaluate different methods preparation microemulsions containing passion seeds oil. For this, we sonication pressure homogenization (HPH) under conditions. In order characterize microemulsions, accelerated stability tests, pH, internal phase droplets size measurements were performed. Then, double face hydrophilic lipophilic stick...
