There has been little understanding of acidification functionality in wound healing, highlighting the need to study efficacy on closure and cellular activity non-infected wounds. This is focused establishing healing potential Acidic buffers, constituting either phosphoric or citric acid, were employed modify physiological pH full-thickness excisional murine Acidification by acidic buffers was found be an effective strategy improve healing. A significant improvement parameters observed as...
We report on the fabrication and characterization of dry hybrid lipid−silica nanoparticle based microcapsules with an internal porous matrix structure for encapsulation poorly soluble drugs, their delivery properties (in vitro release lipolysis in vivo pharmacokinetics demonstrated indomethacin as a model drug). Microcapsules were prepared by spray drying Pickering o/w emulsions containing either negatively or positively charged lipophilic surfactant oil phase hydrophilic silica...
Cannabidiol (CBD) has demonstrated therapeutic potential in treating epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Crohn’s diseases. Despite its promising effects analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic properties, oral CBD’s full is hindered by poor water solubility (0.7–10 μg/mL), low permeability, chemical instability. This study aimed to enhance dissolution, stability, gastrointestinal (GI) permeability forming a CBD–phospholipid complex (CBD-PLC). We hypothesised that...
Inulin-based hydrogels are useful carriers for the delivery of drugs in colon-targeted system and other biomedical applications. In this project, inulin were fabricated by crosslinking oxidized with adipic acid dihydrazide (AAD) without use a catalyst or initiator. The physicochemical properties obtained further characterized using different techniques, such as swelling experiments, vitro drug release, degradation, biocompatibility tests. was confirmed Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy...
The age-related loss of circulating estrogen that occurs during the menopausal transition manifests itself through a variety symptoms including vasomotor (hot flushes and night sweats), genito-urinary syndrome (vaginal dryness urinary symptoms), sexual dysfunction, mood, sleep disturbance often last longer than decade. Furthermore, reductions in level increase risks chronic complications such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline among others, thereby affecting quality...
Imiquimod (IMQ) is an immunomodulating drug that approved for the treatment of superficial basal cell carcinoma, actinic keratosis, external genital warts and perianal warts. However, IMQ cream (Aldara®) has several drawbacks including poor skin permeation, local toxicity, compromised patient compliance as a topical pharmacological option.Our research aimed to develop optimize nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) containing first time using hybrid design experiments approach. The optimized...

Pilot investigations have suggested that a novel, long-acting, injectable i.m. formulation of omeprazole (LA-OMEP) can induce acid suppression for up to 7 days following single injection.To investigate the pharmacodynamics and assess clinical efficacy LA-OMEP formulation.Part A comprised pharmacodynamic study. Part B consisted pilot trial.Part enrolled six adult Thoroughbred horses with percutaneous gastrotomy tubes. Intragastric pH was measured continuous 23-h periods (08.00-07.00 h) eight...

Enhancing cytosol delivery of exogenous antigens in antigen presenting cells can improve cross-presentation and CD8+ T cell-mediated immune response. The speed, which has great importance on the rate MHC class I molecules (MHC I) presentation pathway cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs) induction, not been well studied. We hypothesized that micelle-tailored vaccine with multiple cascaded lysosomal responsive capabilities could accelerate escape enhance cancer immunotherapy. To test our hypothesis,...
A novel drug delivery system preventing Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) recurrence after resection surgery is imperatively required to overcome the mechanical limitation of current local and offer personalised treatment options for GBM patients. In this study, 3D printed biodegradable flexible porous scaffolds were developed via Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) three-dimensional (3D) printing technology curcumin. The with various geometries containing 1, 3, 5, 7% (w/w) curcumin, respectively,...
