Protective effect of sucupira oil nanoemulsion against oxidative stress in UVA-irradiated HaCaT cells.

Objectives: Bioactive molecules derived from natural products combine the ability to absorb UV light and act as antioxidants. We developed an oil-based sucupira (native species of the Brazilian cerrado) nanoemulsion (NE) using a high-energy emulsification method and assessed its effectiveness in vitro.

Methods: An easily scalable high-pressure homogenization method was used to prepare the formulation.

Triggered release of paclitaxel from magnetic solid lipid nanoparticles by magnetic hyperthermia.

We developed a magnetic solid lipid nanoparticles formulation of paclitaxel (PTX-loaded MSLNs) via emulsification-diffusion method. The physicochemical characterization of PTX-loaded MSLNs was performed by AFM, DLS, determination of entrapment efficiency (EE) and drug loading (DL), DSC, VSM, and physical stability. The in vitro effect of temperature and pulsed magnetic hyperthermia on drug release were studied.
