Chemotherapy drugs are the first line of cancer treatment, but problems such as low intratumoral delivery, poor bioavailability, and off-site toxicity must be addressed. Cancer-specific drug delivery techniques could improve the therapeutic outcome in terms of patient survival. The current study investigated the loading of chemotherapy drugs loaded into exosomes for cancer treatment. Exosomes are the smallest extracellular vesicles found in body fluids and can be used to transfer information by moving biomolecules from cell to cell. This makes them useful as carriers. As the membranes of these nanoparticles are similar to cell membranes, they can be easily transported to carry different components. As most chemotherapy drugs are not easily soluble in liquid, loading them into exosomes can be a suitable solution to this problem. This cancer treatment could avert the injection of high doses of drugs and provide a more appropriate release mechanism.

Valsartan (VST) is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist with low oral bioavailability. The present study developed a solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (S-SNEDDS) to enhance the oral absorption and bioavailability of VST. VST-loaded liquid SNEDDS (VST@L-SNEDDS) was prepared by investigating the solubility of VST and constructing the pseudo-ternary phase diagrams.

The majority of patients with cannabis use disorder (CUD) regularly take medication. Cannabinoids influence metabolism of some commonly prescribed drugs. However, little is known about the characteristics and frequency of potential cannabis-drug (CDIs) and drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in patients with CUD.

Chamuangone, a compound extracted from the leaves of Garcinia cowa, exhibits various biological activities. Yet, its absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) profile as well as anti-inflammatory effects in macrophages remain unexplored. In this study, we employed a computational tool to predict the ADMET profile of chamuangone and performed molecular docking simulations to assess its interactions with key proteins involved in inflammatory pathways.

We recently characterized the potent antiplasmodial activity of the aggregated protein dye YAT2150, whose presumed mode of action is the inhibition of protein aggregation in the malaria parasite. Using single-dose and ramping methods, assays were done to select Plasmodium falciparum parasites resistant to YAT2150 concentrations ranging from 3× to 0.25× the in vitro IC of the compound (in the two-digit nM range) and performed a cross-resistance assessment in P.
