The potentiation of pharmacological effects can be achieved through several strategies, such as the association of substances and delivery in nanostructured systems. In practice, potentiation can be measured by the law of mass action and joint evaluation of the combination index (CI) and dose-response curves. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of the association of β-caryophyllene and indomethacin in the free form and delivered in nanoemulsions using the in vitro model of LPS-stimulated murine macrophage.

Article Synopsis
  • Post-COVID19 issues like pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome (PIMS) and Long-COVID19 are becoming critical concerns, potentially affecting adolescents more than the virus itself.
  • A survey involving 1,560 students from grades 8-12 assessed mental health symptoms and differences between seropositive (infected) and seronegative (not infected) adolescents.
  • Findings showed similar reported symptoms in both groups, indicating that Long-COVID19 may not be as prevalent as once thought, highlighting the significant mental health effects during the pandemic.
