AI Article Synopsis

  • - The clinical use of -nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) as a potential therapy is hindered by its instability, prompting the development of various formulations to protect it from degradation.
  • - Key challenges in these formulations include achieving low encapsulation efficiency and managing burst release, primarily due to GSNO's high water solubility and small molecular size.
  • - The review focuses on different nano/micro-formulation strategies for GSNO delivery systems, offering insights for future researchers on effective encapsulation techniques.

Article Abstract

As a potential therapeutic agent, the clinical application of -nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) is limited because of its instability. Therefore, different formulations have been developed to protect GSNO from degradation, delivery and the release of GSNO at a physiological concentration in the active position. Due to the high water-solubility and small molecular-size of GSNO, the biggest challenges in the encapsulation step are low encapsulation efficiency and burst release. This review summarizes the different nano/micro-formulation strategies of a GSNO related delivery system to provide references for subsequent researchers interested in GSNO encapsulation.

Celastrol: A Review of Useful Strategies Overcoming its Limitation in Anticancer Application.

Front Pharmacol

November 2020

State Key Laboratory of Southwestern Chinese Medicine Resources, Pharmacy School, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu, China.

Celastrol, a natural bioactive ingredient derived from Hook F, exhibits significant broad-spectrum anticancer activities for the treatment of a variety of cancers including liver cancer, breast cancer, prostate tumor, multiple myeloma, glioma, etc. However, the poor water stability, low bioavailability, narrow therapeutic window, and undesired side effects greatly limit its clinical application. To address this issue, some strategies were employed to improve the anticancer efficacy and reduce the side-effects of celastrol.
