Lipid nanoparticle (LNP) mediated mRNA delivery in neurodegenerative diseases
Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) are characterized by the progressive loss of neurons and the impairment of cellular functions. Messenger RNA (mRNA) has emerged as a promising therapy for treating NDD, as it can encode missing or dysfunctional proteins and anti-inflammatory cytokines or…

Focus on the importance of the process parameters: Temperature cycles and “shock” water addition…
Abstract
The phase inversion temperature method is one of the formulation processes to elaborate nanomedicine based on lipid nanoparticles. This process was used in numerous studies in literature, changing the nature of the ingredients to ensure good encapsulation efficiencies of various drugs.…

Fabrication of lipid-modified drug nanocrystals loaded injectable hydrogel for breast cancer therapy
Abstract
The current study includes the design of soluplus stabilized, lipid-coated, and fucoidan-oleylamine conjugate modified paclitaxel nanocrystals. The nanocrystals (Lipid-NCs) were about 100 nm, homogeneous, stable and showed improved drug release compared to pure PTX. The nanocrystals were…

Enhancing the Photothermal Properties of Indocyanine Green in Melanoma Spheroids via Encapsulation…
Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG), a well-known photosensitiser, has shown potential in photothermal therapy (PTT) for cancer treatment, but its effectiveness is limited by poor skin penetration and rapid clearance. To address this, lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) were used as nanocarriers to enhance…

Archaeosomes facilitate storage and oral delivery of cannabidiol
Cannabidiol (CBD) has received great scientific interest due to its numerous therapeutic applications. Degradation in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, first-pass metabolism, and low water solubility restrain bioavailability of CBD to only 6% in current oral administration. Lipid-based nanocarriers…

Recent progress in pharmaceutical excipients as P-glycoprotein inhibitors for potential improvement…
Abstract
Pharmaceutical excipients such as P-glycoprotein inhibitors can also increase the solubility and affinity of drugs to the intestinal membrane, enhance paracellular pathways and endocyte uptake, and activate lymph transport pathways, thereby increasing the bioavailability of oral drugs.…

Fabrication, Characterization, and Pharmacokinetics of Phospholipid-Based Naturosomal Nanocarriers…
Abstract
This study hypothesizes that phospholipid-based naturosoomal nanocarriers can significantly enhance the oral solubility and bioavailability of naringin (NARNs) by improving its absorption and pharmacokinetic profile. The NARNs were prepared using solvent evaporation techniques employing a…

Design, evaluation, and in vitro–in vivo correlation of self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems…
Abstract
The ability to predict the absorption of exenatide (Ex), a GLP-1 analogue, after oral dosing to rats in self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS), using in vitro methods, was assessed. Ex was complexed with soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC) prior to loading into SNEDDS. A…

Fusion of polymer-coated liposomes and centrifugally spun microfibers as hybrid materials to enhance…
Abstract
Liposomes are employed for the delivery of molecular cargo in several classes of systems. For instance, the embedding of loaded liposomes in polymeric fibrous scaffolds has enabled the creation of hybrid materials that mimic biological membranes. Liposomes with unmodified surfaces…

Ritonavir loaded solid lipid nanoparticles for oral drug delivery and bioavailability enhancement
Abstract
Background
Ritonavir is an anti-retroviral protease inhibitor to treat HIV, AIDS infections.
Methods
The RN-SLNs were prepared by using hot homogenization followed ultrasonication method and optimized by using a two-factor, three-level central composte design (CCD). The independent…
