Hesperidin (Hsd), a bioactive phytomedicine, experienced an antidiabetic activity versus both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes mellitus. However, its intrinsic poor solubility and bioavailability is a key challenging obstacle reflecting its oral delivery. From such perspective, the purpose of the current study was to prepare and evaluate Hsd-loaded sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin/chitosan nanoparticles (Hsd/CD/CS NPs) for improving the hypoglycemic activity of the orally administered Hsd.

Background: Amiodarone (AMD) is a widely used anti-arrhythmic drug, but its administration could be associated with varying degrees of pulmonary toxicity. In attempting to circumvent this issue, AMD-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (AMD-loaded NPs) had been designed.

Materials And Methods: AMD was loaded in NPs by the nanoprecipitation method using two stabilizers: bovine serum albumin and Kolliphor P 188.

Article Synopsis
  • Amiodarone (AM) is effective for treating arrhythmias, but it has side effects outside the heart that limit its use; using nanoparticles (NPs) for delivery could enhance its benefits while reducing these adverse effects.
  • * The study developed AM-loaded polymeric NPs and tested them on rats, assessing liver and lung health alongside AM's effects through various biochemical and histopathological evaluations.
  • * Results showed that the AM-loaded NPs reduced liver damage and other adverse effects seen in the traditional AM treatment, suggesting a promising alternative for minimizing toxicities.

Background: Successful endodontic therapy is mainly governed by the satisfactory sealing ability of the applied root canal sealer. Also, tolerability of root canal structure to accommodate the presence of a sealer participates in the efficiency of the treatment. Hence, this study was aimed to extrapolate our previous one that was concerned with the preparation and evaluation of novel nature-based root canal sealers.

Periodontal diseases are worldwide chronic inflammatory conditions that are associated with heavy production of reactive oxygen species followed by damage of the tooth-supporting tissues. Although the mechanical approach of scaling and root planing (SRP) for removing of plaque is considered as the key element for controlling periodontitis, the anatomical complexity of the teeth hinders accessibility to deeper points. The aim of this study was to design a micellar nanocarrier of coenzyme Q10 (Q) to support the management of moderate periodontitis.

Background: Propolis is a unique natural adhesive product collected by honeybees. It contains a diversity of bioactive compounds with reported functional properties such as antioxidants, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and anticancer activity. Dental caries is a worldwide problem that caused by microbial growth usually progress from tooth enamel to the underlying pulpal tissues and root canal.

A rapid, and highly sensitive analytical method were developed for the simultaneous determination of indacaterol maleate (IND) and glycopyrronium bromide (GLY) in their inhaler capsules. Valid ion-pairing chromatographic (IPC) method was performed for separation of GLY in presence of IND using C column and mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile: acidified deionized water (60:40% v/v) containing 0.02% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) adjusted to pH 3.
