Biocompatible nanoemulsions and nanoemulsion-based hydrogels were formulated for the encapsulation delivery of vitamin D3 curcumin. The aforementioned systems structurally studied applying dynamic light scattering (DLS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy viscometry. In vitro studies conducted using Franz diffusion cells to investigate release bioactive compounds from nanocarriers. cytotoxicity was investigated thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) cell proliferation assay...
The nose-to-brain delivery of neuroprotective natural compounds is an appealing approach for the treatment neurodegenerative diseases. Nanoemulsions containing curcumin (CUR) and quercetin (QU) were prepared by high-pressure homogenization characterized physicochemically structurally. A negative (CQ_NE−), a positive (CQ_NE+), gel (CQ_NEgel) formulation developed. mean particle size CQ_NE− CQ_NE+ was below 120 nm, while this increased to 240 nm CQ_NEgel. formulations showed high encapsulation...
Microemulsions are regarded as “the ultimate enzyme microreactors” for liquid oxidations. Their structure, composed of water nanodroplets dispersed in a non-polar medium, provides several benefits their use media enzymatic transformations. They have the ability to overcome solubility limitations hydrophobic substrates, enhance activity (superactivity phenomenon) and stability, while providing an interface surface-active enzymes. Of particular interest is such systems study biotransformations...
A novel biocompatible water-in-oil microemulsion was developed using nonionic surfactants and investigated as a potential enzyme delivery system for pharmaceutical applications. The composed of isopropyl myristate/polysorbate 80 (Tween 80)/distilled monoglycerides/water/propylene glycol (PG), had low total surfactant concentration (8.3% w/w), able to incorporate approximately 3% w/w aqueous phase containing horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Structural activity aspects the were studied variety...
(Hydroxypropyl)methyl cellulose (HPMC) can be used to form gels integrating a w/o microemulsion. The formulation in which microemulsion is mixed with hydrated HPMC matrix has been successfully as carrier of biocompatible ingredients. However, little known about the structure these systems. To elucidate this, scanning electron microscopy was examine morphology and bulk microemulsion-based (MBGs) small-angle X-ray scattering clarify detect any residual reverse micelles after incorporation gel....
Biocompatible, non- ionic oil-in-water (O/W) microemulsion was developed to encapsulate and deliver novel lipophilic polymers possessing photoacoustic properties.
