Objectives: This study aims to formulate metronidazole liquid nanocapsules (MTZ) and evaluate their effect on the physicochemical and biological properties of calcium silicate-based bioactive endodontic cements, in vitro.
Methods: A MTZ suspension was formulated by deposition of the preformed polymer and characterized by laser diffraction and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Calcium silicate (CS) was mixed with a radiopaque agent (calcium tungstate - CaWO), at 10 wt%, to produce the cement powder.
Dermatological applications of phloretin are restricted by its poor aqueous solubility. Nanotechnology has been proposed as strategy to increase the apparent drug solubility in aqueous media. This study aimed to develop, characterize, and evaluate the antitumoral effects and safety of polymeric nanocapsules containing phloretin (NCPhl).
