In vitro antioxidant activity of alginate nanoparticles encapsulating the aqueous extract of .

Bioactive compounds in medicinal plants are more susceptible to preventing oxidative stress. Encapsulation of herbal extracts has empowered the properties and characteristics of bioactive compounds. Nanoencapsulation allows the enhancement of the stability of extracts and targeted drug delivery.

Synthesis and bioactivity assessment of L. extract encapsulated alginate nanoparticles as an antidiabetic drug lead.

Aim: This study aimed to prepare, characterise, and evaluate the antidiabetic activity of (L.) extracts encapsulated alginate nanoparticles.

Methods: Alginate nanoparticles were prepared using the ionic gelation method and characterised by encapsulation efficiency %w/w, loading capacity %w/w, particle size analysis, zeta potential, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Bael (Aegle marmelos L. Correa) fruit extracts encapsulated alginate nanoparticles as a potential dietary supplement with improved bioactivities.

Nanoencapsulated bael fruit (Aegle marmelos L. Correa (Family: Rutaceae)) extracts reveal novel prospects in the development of dietary supplements with improved biological activities in the field of the food industry. The main objectives of this study were to prepare and characterize aqueous, ethanol, 50% ethanol, and 50% acetone extracts of bael fruit encapsulated alginate nanoparticles and investigate the effect of encapsulation on in vitro release of polyphenols, antidiabetic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities, and their stability.

A new liposomal nanocarrier for co-delivery of gedunin and p-glycoprotein siRNA to target breast cancer stem cells.

Gedunin is a secondary metabolite found in neem tree. Since the first discovery of this compound, its bio-active properties have been continuously evaluated. However, the low hydrophobicity of gedunin decreases its bioavailability and pharmacokinetic profile.

Serum stability and physicochemical characterization of a novel amphipathic peptide C6M1 for siRNA delivery.

The efficient delivery of nucleic acids as therapeutic agents is a major challenge in gene therapy. Peptides have recently emerged as a novel carrier for delivery of drugs and genes. C6M1 is a designed amphipathic peptide with the ability to form stable complexes with short interfering RNA (siRNA).
