Niosomes embodying ethanol and minimum amount of cholesterol (ethoniosomes) could be promising ocular delivery systems for water soluble insoluble drugs. This manuscript reports on novel nano-sized elastic niosomes composed Span 60: (7:3 mol/mol) ethanol, prednisolone acetate (Pred A) sodium phosphate P). These ethoniosomes were prepared with the thin film hydration (TFH) injection (EI) methods, characterized percentage entrapment efficiency (% EE), size, zeta potential, morphology,...

Preparation and evaluation of a non-invasive intranasal luteolin delivery for the management cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD) using novel chitosan decorated nanoparticles. Development luteolin-loaded chitosomes was followed by full vitro characterization. In vivo efficacy evaluated sporadic (SAD) animal model via intracerebroventricular injection 3 mg/kg streptozotocin (ICV-STZ). Treatment groups suspension (50 mg/kg) were then intranasally administered after 5 h ICV-STZ...

Despite the fact of availability several treatments for breast cancer, most them fail to attain desired therapeutic response due their poor bioavailability, high doses, non-selectivity and as a result systemic toxicity. Here in an attempt made study transdermal effect leflunomide (LEF) against cancer. In order improve physicochemical properties LEF, it was loaded into cubosomes. Cubosomes were prepared by emulsification method. Colloidal characteristics cubosomes including particle size,...

Caffeine (CAF) is a challenging natural bioactive compound with proven antiaging efficacy. However, being hydrophilic hampers its permeation through the skin. Our aim to develop novel CAF-loaded nano-cosmeceutical tool counteracting skin photoaging via improving CAF using nanocarrier. Caffeinated hyalurosomes are biocompatible nanoplatforms designed by immobilization of phospholipid vesicles hyaluronan polymer. Physicochemical properties selected formulation showed nano-sized (210.10 ± 1.87...

Aim: L-carnosine-coated magnetic nanoparticles (CCMNPs) were developed to enhance chemotherapeutic activity of carnosine-dipeptide. Materials & methods: Surface grafting MNPs with carnosine was contended by differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. Physicochemical characterization in vitro cytotoxicity on MCF-7 cell line carried out. In vivo toxicity assessed an Ehrlich Ascites tumor model. Results: CCMNPs possessed monodispersed size (120 nm), ζ (-27.3...
