In this study, resveratrol-loaded nanocapsules were developed and its antitumor activity tested on a melanoma mice model. These nanocapsules were spherically-shaped and presented suitable size, negative charge and high encapsulation efficiency for their use as a modified-release system of resveratrol. Nanoencapsulation leads to the drug amorphization. Resveratrol-loaded nanoparticles reduced cell viability of murine melanoma cells. There was a decrease in tumor volume, an increase in the necrotic area and inflammatory infiltrate of melanoma when resveratrol-loaded nanocapsules were compared to free resveratrol in treated mice. Nanoencapsulation of resveratrol also prevented metastasis and pulmonary hemorrhage. This modified-release technology containing resveratrol can be used as a feasible approach in order to inhibit murine melanoma tumor growth.

Article Synopsis
- Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves complex processes such as amyloid accumulation, inflammation, mitochondrial issues, and nerve function loss, with oxidative stress worsening these conditions.
- New heterocyclic compounds show promise as potential treatments, specifically targeting oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammation linked to AD, with some nanomaterials enhancing drug delivery to the brain.
- The review details innovations in using nanoparticles and micellar systems to improve treatment effectiveness and safety, while highlighting important factors like absorption and toxicity for future drug development in AD therapy.
Dual Vinorelbine bitartrate and Resveratrol loaded polymeric aqueous core nanocapsules for synergistic efficacy in breast cancer.

University Institute of Pharma Sciences (UIPS), Chandigarh University, Mohali, India.
Aim: The current study focussed on the development and evaluation of aqueous core nanocapsules (ACNs) as an effective carrier to deliver an optimal synergistic combination of a highly water-soluble Vinorelbine bitartrate (VRL) and a poorly water-soluble Resveratrol (RES) for treatment of breast cancer.
Methods: Various molar ratios of VRL to RES were screened against MCF-7 cell lines to determine the synergistic effects using the Chou-Talalay method. The synergistic ratio of therapeutic agents was then incorporated into aqueous core nanocapsules utilising a double emulsion solvent evaporation technique to yield dual drug-loaded nanocapsules (dd-ACNs).

Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are inflammatory and oxidative imbalance lung conditions with no successful pharmacological therapy and a high mortality rate. Resveratrol (RSV) is a plant-derived stilbene that presents anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. However, its therapeutic application remains limited due to its poor bioavailability, which can be solved by the use of nanocarriers.

In this study, the resveratrol was nano-encapsulated in three different sources of starch like Water chestnut Horse chestnut and Lotus stem to safeguard it from gastric conditions and to improve its bioavailability and bioactivity upon digestion. The nano-capsules were prepared using safe and eco-friendly ultra-sonication method and studied for encapsulation-efficiency, particle-size and zeta-potential measurement. These were also characterized by ATR-FTIR, SEM, XRD and DSC.

In this study, cyclodextrin metal-organic framework/chitosan (CD-MOF/CS) nanocapsules, which have a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic shell, were fabricated as delivery systems for bioactive agents. The nanocapsules were prepared by electrostatic deposition of cationic chitosan onto the anionic CD-MOF core. The presence of the CS coating reduced the mean diameter and polydispersity index of the nanocapsules, which was attributed to their ability to inhibit particle aggregation.
