The aim of this study was to improve the oral bioavailability of Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) through preparing G. biloba extract phospholipid complexes (GBP) and G. biloba extract solid dispersions (GBS). Firstly we prepared the GBP and GBS and studied their physicochemical properties by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and dissolution. Then we studied the pharmacokinetic characteristics and bioavailability in rats. The results showed that the bioavailability of quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin in rats was increased remarkably after oral administration of GBP and GBS comparing with GBE. The bioavailabilities of GBP increased more than that of GBS.

Ginkgolide B (GB) is the main active ginkgolide in Ginkgo biloba leaves extract. Pharmacological study suggested that GB exhibits protective effect on nervous system impaired and can be used in the treatment of dementia, cerebral insufficiency or related cognitive decline. However, the information on pharmacokinetics of GB in vivo was limited.

Nanomedicine has introduced strategies that provide precise diagnosis and treatment with fewer side effects than traditional therapies. Treatments for neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease, are palliative, necessitating an innovative delivery system with a curative function. This study investigated a solid lipid nanoparticle (SLNP) system's ability to bind and safely deliver siRNA in vitro.

Background: Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), as neuropsychiatric manifestations within dementia, constitute core features of dementia. However, there remains a gap in understanding the recognition of BPSD in China. Our current study was to explore the clinical awareness and treatment approaches for BPSD in China, focusing especially on the perspectives of neurologists and psychiatrists.

The present work evaluates the effect of casein, glucose, and olive oil on phytochemical bioaccessibility, antioxidant potential (DPPH and FRAP), antidiabetic potential (inhibition of amylase, α-glucosidase, and BSA glycation), and antihyperlipidemic potential (inhibition of lipase) of gingko standardized leaf extract in the form of tablets after in vitro digestion. Gingko extract formulations with protein, carbohydrates, and oil had high (>70%) in vitro bioaccessibility of quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin after each phases of digestion in comparison to moderate (35-70%) in vitro bioaccessibility from gingko water extract. Formulation with the highest in vitro bioaccessibility of the majority of the tested polyphenolic groups and terpene lactones after oral and intestinal phases was ginkgo with olive oil.
