Article Synopsis
  • - Catechin, a beneficial flavonoid, faces delivery challenges due to low water solubility and stomach degradation, motivating the development of a targeted delivery system. - Researchers created mesoporous silica nanoparticles coated with the pH-responsive polymer Eudragit®-S100 to protect catechin in the acidic stomach and ensure release in the colon. - The study demonstrated that this innovative delivery system effectively maintains catechin stability and offers a controlled release at colon pH levels, making it a promising approach for oral drug delivery.

Introduction: Bacterial infections caused by different strains of bacteria still one of the most important disorders affecting humans worldwide. Polymers nanocomposite systems could be considered as an alternative to conventional antibiotics to eradicate bacterial infections.

Significance: In an attempt to enhance the antibacterial performance of silver and iron oxide nanoparticles, decrease their aggregation and toxicity, a polymeric hybrid nanocomposite system combining both nanoparticles is produced.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-) and inflammatory cytokine (IL-6) play a vital role in various cellular incidents such as the proliferation and death of cells during carcinogenesis. Hence, regulation of these biomarkers could be a promising tool for controlling tumor progression using nanoformulations. Silver nanoparticles-poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (AgNPs-PVP) were prepared using the reduction of silver nitrate and stabilized with PVP.

The study aimed to develop a new glutathione (GSH) oral formulation to enhance the delivery of GSH and counter the nephrotoxicity of the anticancer drug, cyclophosphamide (CP). A nanostructured lipid carrier glutathione formulation (GSH-NLCs) composed of glutathione (500 mg), stearic and oleic acid (300 mg, each), and Tween 80 (2%, /) was prepared through the emulsification-solvent-evaporation technique, which exhibited a 452.4 ± 33.
