Encapsulation of curcumin into layered double hydroxides improve their anticancer and antiparasitic activity
ConclusionsLayered double hydroxides are good vehicles to improve stability, resistance to degradation of CUR, also they are useful to improve solubility, provide a controlled release and improve the cytotoxic activity. Additionally, it was shown that the composition of the M+2 cation of LDH affects its properties and structure and that this directly influences its biological activity. The findings are important to select the composition of the encapsulation vehicle for a specific activity. (Source: Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology)

Development of a Gaussian Process – feature selection model to characterise (poly)dimethylsiloxane (Silastic®) membrane permeation
ConclusionsThis study highlights important considerations in the development of relevant models and in the construction and use of the data sets used in such studies, particularly that highly correlated descriptors should be removed from data sets. Predictive models are improved by the methodology adopted in this study, notably the systematic evaluation of descriptors, rather than simply using any and all available descriptors, often based empirically onin vitro experiments. Such findings also have clear relevance to a number of other fields. (Source: Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology)

Pyoluteorin induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human triple ‐negative breast cancer cells MDA‐MB‐231
ConclusionOur studies revealed that pyoluteorin had potent proliferation inhibition against MDA ‐MB‐231 cells through arresting cell cycle at G2/M phase and inducing caspase ‐3‐dependent apoptosis by mitochondrial pathway, implying that pyoluteorin may be a potential lead compound for drug discovery of human triple‐negative breast cancer.

Matrix effects of the hydroethanolic extract and the butanol fraction of calyces from Physalis peruviana L. on the biopharmaceutics classification of rutin
ConclusionsAccording to these results, rutin could be classified as BCS classes III (high solubility/low permeability) and IV (low solubility/low permeability), depending on the plant matrix. Further work needs to be done in order to establish how apply the BCS for research and development of new botanical drugs or for bioequivalence purposes.
