Two new myrsinol-type diterpene polyesters 3,5,13,17-tetra-O-acetyl-7-O-benzoyl-15-hydroxymyrsinol (1) and 3,5,13,17-tetra-O-acetyl-7-O-butanoyl-13-hydroxymyrsinol (2), with a tricyclic carbon skeleton have been isolated from Euphorbia decipiens Boiss. & Buhse. The structure elucidation of the isolated compounds was based primarily on HREIMS, EIMS, IR, UV, ID-, and 2D-NMR analyses, including COSY, HMQC, HMBC, and NOESY correlations. Compounds 1 and 2 also showed activity against urease enzyme.

Cancer, a key factor in declining global life expectancy, has driven the integration of chemotherapy and immunotherapy to address multidrug resistance and influence the tumor microenvironment. We developed a novel vaccine delivery carrier, a chitosan-coated polylactic acid/poloxamer nanoparticle (CPP NP), designed to co-encapsulate an anticancer drug and antigen without any chemical conjugation process, enabling effective and synergistic cancer chemo-immunotherapy. The CPP NP achieved synergistic efficacy through paclitaxel (PTX), an immunogenic cell death-inducing chemotherapeutic agent; ovalbumin (OVA), which promotes dendritic cell maturation; and enhanced cellular uptake facilitated by chitosan.

Article Synopsis
- - Muscle atrophy due to disuse, aging, or illness can lead to increased risks of injury and prolonged recovery, with macrophages playing a crucial role in muscle regeneration by releasing insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1).
- - Researchers encapsulated all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in microparticles to improve its bioavailability and promote IGF-1 release from macrophages, enhancing muscle cell formation and regeneration.
- - The study shows that ATRA-PLG microparticles are effectively taken up by macrophages and can stimulate IGF-1 production, supporting further research on its potential use in muscle recovery treatments.

Pancreatic cancer is considered the deadliest among various solid tumors, with a five-year survival rate of 13 %. One of the major challenges in the management of advanced pancreatic cancer is the inefficient delivery of chemotherapeutics to the tumor site. Even though nanocarriers have been developed to improve tumoral delivery of chemotherapeutics, less than 1 % of the drugs reach tumors, rendering inadequate concentration for effective inhibition of tumors.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIt is hypothesized that layer-by-layer acetate-coated Paclitaxel-loaded PLGA nanoparticles (F2) can be engineered to potentiate the effectiveness of Paclitaxel (PTX) on LNCaP, a human prostate cancer cell line. The core of the layer-by-layer NPs is formed by nanoprecipitation, and the shell of the NPs is engineered using the sodium acetate's unique coating mechanism and surface-active properties. The resulting nanoformulation physicochemical properties are characterized by Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), NanoSight NS300, spectrophotometry, Korsmeyer-Peppas model, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- Atherosclerosis is a disease where the blood vessels get hurt and inflamed, mainly because of a type of immune cell called macrophages.
- Scientists are trying to create tiny carriers that can deliver medicine directly to the areas affected by this disease, but they have faced challenges with how much medicine these carriers can hold and how accurately they can release it.
- A new type of tiny carrier was developed that can hold more medicine and deliver it precisely to the right places in the body, helping reduce inflammation and improve the condition of blood vessels better than current treatments.
