Many bioactive substances face the problem of limited bioavailability, mainly due to low aqueous solubility and poor metabolic stability. Their complexation with drug delivery systems offers a more optimum pharmacological profile. Some of these drug delivery systems that have promising potential form complexes with bioactive compounds such as cyclodextrins and calixarenes. The monitoring of the success and the type of the complexation are of great importance and two-dimensional diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (2D DOSY) is a valuable tool for the studying of these complexes and described as "NMR chromatography." Herein we report the procedure for the complexation of the natural product quercetin in 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and the anticancer drug temozolomide in p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene and the determination of the complexation with 2D DOSY spectroscopy.

Stable hollow-type microspheres (MSs) have been fabricated using α-synuclein (αS), an amyloidogenic protein, via freeze-induced protein self-assembly. This assembly process involves three steps: rapid freezing to form spherical protein condensates from αS oligomers, frozen annealing to form a crust on the condensate and freeze-drying to create an interior lumen via the three-dimensional (3D) coffee-stain effect. The crust produced during the frozen-annealing step is a β-sheet-mediated protein structure that is presumed to be created at the quasi-liquid layer of the protein-ice interface and thus contributes to the stability of MSs in aqueous solutions at room temperature without any additional surface stabilization.

This study aims to assess the neuroprotective effects of the methanolic extract of against oxidative stress and cell death induced by neurotoxins MPP in SH-SY5Y cells. Briefly, the methanolic extract of decreased the cytotoxicity of MPP in SH-SY5Y cells. Treatment with extract at a concentration of 400 µg/ml resulted in a notable decrease in cell death, particularly in MPP -induced cells.

Purpose: This study investigates the impact of various mixing parameters and surfactant combinations on the physical characteristics of nanoemulsions produced using high-speed homogenization. Nanoemulsions are explored for their capacity to enhance transdermal drug delivery in pharmaceutical and cosmetic contexts.
Methods: Employing a standard high-speed homogenizer typical in the cosmetic industry, we tested different combinations of Polysorbate (Tween®) and Sorbitan ester (Span®) surfactants under single and intermittent process configurations.

Female genital tuberculosis (FGTB) arises from infection and can rarely be caused by or atypical mycobacteria. FGTB usually arises from tuberculosis (TB) that affects the lungs or other organs. The infection can enter the vaginal tract directly from abdominal TB or by hematogenous or lymphatic pathways.
