Natural Lipids as Structural Components of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles and Nanostructured Lipid Carriers for Topical Delivery
Authors: Mirena Dobreva, Stefan Stefanov and Velichka AndonovaBackground: Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) are useful drug delivery systems for dermal application. Thanks to their biocompatible and biodegradable profile, these carriers offer many advantages such as enhanced bioavailability, low toxicity, viable drug targeting and controlled release. SLN and NLC are composed of well-tolerated lipids, including natural fats and oils that are successfully Read More

Lipid Nanoparticles as a Skin Wound Healing Drug Delivery System: Discoveries and Advances
Chronic wounds are a remarkable cause of morbidity, requiring long-time treatments with a significant impact on the quality of life and high costs for public health. Although there are a variety of topical skin preparations commercially available, they have several limitations that frequently impair wound healing, such as drug instability, toxicity, limited time of action and ineffective skin permeation. In recent years, researche Read More

Natural, Synthetic and their Combinatorial Nanocarriers Based Drug Delivery System in the Treatment Paradigm for Wound Healing Via Dermal Targeting
A wound refers to the epithelial loss, accompanied by loss of muscle fibers collagen, nerves and bone instigated by surgery, trauma, frictions or by heat. Process of wound healing is a compounded activity of recovering the functional integrity of the damaged tissues. This process is mediated by various cytokines and growth factors usually liberated at the wound site. A plethora of herbal and synthetic drugs, as well as photodyna Read More

Nanostructured Lipid Carriers as Potential Drug Delivery Systems for Skin Disorders
Background: Skin diseases affect all the age groups of people and have an impact on patients’ physical, mental, and emotional status. Conventional topical preparation is limited with its efficacy due to low permeation, frequent application, and poor adherence to the therapy for prolong time. Objective: The objective of this review article is to address the emerging trends of nanotechnology derived lipidic carrier systems for an Read More

Applications of Nanocarriers as Drug Delivery Vehicles for Active Phytoconstituents
Many plant-based bioactive compounds have been serving as the origin of drugs since long ago and many of them have been proven to have medicinal value against various chronic diseases, including, cancer, arthritis, hepatic diseases, type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. However, their clinical applications have been limited due to their poor water solubility, stability, low bioavailability and extensive transfo Read More

Novel Nanocarriers for the Treatment of Wound Healing
The sequence of biochemical and cellular responses restoring the integrity of the subcutaneous tissue of the skin is termed as wound healing. Inflammatory cytokine suppression and inflammatory transduction cascades are the major targets for wound healing. Formulations for wound healing should promote neovascularization and angiogenic pathways by increasing the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, Read More

Skin Permeation of Nanoparticles: Mechanisms Involved and Critical Factors Governing Topical Drug Delivery
Authors: Taha U. Wani, Roohi Mohi-ud-Din, Asmat Majeed, Shabnam Kawoosa and Faheem Hyder PottooTransdermal route has been an ever sought-after means of drug administration, regarded as being the most convenient and patient compliant. However, skin poses a great barrier to the entry of the external particles including bacteria, viruses, allergens, and drugs as well (mostly hydrophilic or high molecular weight drugs), consequent to its complex structure and composition. Among the various means of enhancing drug per Read More

Nanocarrier Based Topical Drug Delivery- A Promising Strategy for Treatment of Skin Cancer
Authors: Rupesh Jain, Ila Sarode, Gautam Singhvi and Sunil K. DubeySkin cancers are one of the most widespread and complex forms of the disease, resulting in very high mortality rates across the world. The current treatments available for skin cancer include chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, etc. The selected treatment options for skin cancer are usually decided based on the condition of a patient and the type of skin cancer. The effectiveness of skin cancer therapy is still limited because Read More

A Review of Analytical Methods for the Determination of Hypericin in Foods, Herbal, Biological and Pharmaceutical Matrices
Aims: A review of analytical methods for the determination of hypericin in foods, herbal, biological and pharmaceutical matrices. Background: Hypericin (HYP) is a naturally-occurring pigment obtained from some plants of the genus Hypericum. Although HYP has been known for many years, it has recently attracted attention due to its varied biological properties, such as anti-inflammatory and antidepressant activity an Read More

Recent Advances in the Synthesis and Development of Nitroaromatics as Anti-Infective Drugs
Authors: Christina Kannigadu and David. D. N'DaInfectious diseases commonly occur in tropical and sub-tropical countries. The pathogens of such diseases are able to multiply in human hosts, warranting their continual survival. Infections that are commonplace include malaria, chagas, trypanosomiasis, giardiasis, amoebiasis, toxoplasmosis and leishmaniasis. Malaria is known to cause symptoms, such as high fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, whereas chagas Read More

Identification of 2-Fluoropalmitic Acid as a Potential Therapeutic Agent Against Glioblastoma
Background: Glioblastomas (GBMs) are aggressive malignant brain tumors. Although chemotherapy with temozolomide (TMZ) can extend patient survival, most patients eventually demonstrate resistance. Therefore, novel therapeutic agents that overcome TMZ chemoresistance are required to improve patient outcomes. Purpose: Drug screening is an efficient method to find new therapeutic agents from existing drugs. In this Read More
