Diosmin nanocrystal gel alleviates imiquimod-induced psoriasis in rats via modulating TLR7,8/NF-κB/micro RNA-31, AKT/mTOR/P70S6K milieu, and Tregs/Th17 balance.

Diosmin is a flavonoid with promising anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, it has difficult physicochemical characteristics since its solubility demands a pH level of 12, which has an impact on the drug's bioavailability. The aim of this work is the development and characterization of diosmin nanocrystals using anti-solvent precipitation technique to be used for topical treatment of psoriasis.

Diosmin Nanocrystal-Loaded Wafers for Treatment of Diabetic Ulcer: In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation.

This work aimed at loading of diosmin nanocrystals into alginate-based wafers for treatment of highly exuding diabetic ulcer in rats using topical route of administration. For this purpose, different formulation variables and preparation techniques to enhance the flexibility and adhesion properties of the prepared sodium alginate (SA) wafers were carried out. The prepared wafers were characterized regarding hydration capacity, bioadhesion, scanning electron microscope, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.
