Nanoemulsions: A Better Approach for Antidiabetic Drug Delivery.

Conventional delivery of antidiabetic drugs faces many problems like poor absorption, low bioavailability, and drug degradation. Nanoemulsion is a unique drug technology, which is very suitable for the delivery of antidiabetic drugs. In recent years, the flaws of delivering anti-hypoglycaemic drugs have been overcome by choosing nanoemulsion drug technology.

Determination of total phenolics, flavonoid contents and antioxidant activity of different mBHT fractions: A polyherbal medicine.

In this study, antioxidant activity, total phenolic and flavonoids content of four different fractions from the traditional Korean polyherbal medicine of Modified Bo-yang-Hwan-o-Tang (mBHT) was determined using spectrophotometric methods. Antioxidant activity of fractions was expressed as percentage of DPPH radicals inhibition and IC₅₀ values (μg/ml). Values in percentage ranged from 48.

Biogenic synthesis of multidimensional gold nanoparticles assisted by Streptomyces hygroscopicus and its electrochemical and antibacterial properties.

The fabrication of reliable, green chemistry processes for nanomaterial synthesis is an important aspect of nanotechnology. The biosynthesis of single-pot room-temperature reduction of aqueous chloroaurate ions by Streptomyces hygroscopicus cells has been reported to facilitate the development of an industrially viable greener methodology for the synthesis of technologically important gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Multidimensional AuNPs are generated via the manipulation of key growth parameters, including solution pH and reaction time.

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles by Streptomyces hygroscopicus and antimicrobial activity against medically important pathogenic microorganisms.

Biological reduction of aqueous silver ions by extracellular components of Streptomyces hygroscopicus has facilitated the development of industrially viable greener methods for the synthesis of technologically important silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The synthesized aqueous products showed the characteristic absorption spectra at 420 nm, which confirmed the presence of AgNPs. X-ray diffraction patterns displayed typical peaks of crystalline silver at approximately 38 degrees , approximately 45 degrees and approximately 65 degrees .
