Biotechnol Lett. 2023 Dec 27. doi: 10.1007/s10529-023-03452-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRhodomyrtus tomentosa leaf (RT)-incorporated transferosomes were developed with lecithin and cholesterol blends with edge activators at different ratios. RT-transferosomes were characterized and employed in transferosomal gel formulations for the management of skin and soft-tissue infections. The optimized formulation entrapped up to 81.90 ± 0.31% of RT with spherical vesicles (405.3 ± 2.0 nm), polydispersity index value of 0.16 ± 0.08, and zeta potential of - 61.62 ± 0.86 mV.

Enhancing oral bioavailability of Ca-DTPA by Self Double Emulsifying Drug Delivery System (SDEDDS)
CONCLUSION: The present studies have clearly demonstrated that SDEDDS could readily form w/o/w double emulsions in vivo with enhanced in vitro and in vivo oral bioavailability. Therefore considerable augmentation in the rate and extent of oral drug absorption ratified the better performance of the SDEDDS in enhancing the bioavailability of Ca-DTPA.PMID:38145420 | DOI:10.1080/03639045.2023.2298881 (Source: Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy)

Enhancing the physicochemical stability and antioxidant activity of cape gooseberry calyx extract through nanoencapsulation in soy lecithin liposomes
Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces. 2023 Nov 23;234:113662. doi: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2023.113662. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe focus of this study was on the development, physicochemical characterisation and evaluation of the antioxidant activity of cape gooseberry calyx extract loaded into nanoliposomal systems. Various nanoliposomes were prepared and optimised using the ethanol injection method and characterised based on particle size, polydispersity and zeta potential measurements. Subsequently, the encapsulation efficiency and in vitro release profile of the natural antioxidant extract (NAE) were evaluated, and its anti...

Environmental Cadmium Exposure Exacerbated Bone Loss in NAFLD Mice
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2023 Dec 15. doi: 10.1007/s12011-023-04016-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDue to rapid urbanization and industrialization, Cadmium (Cd) contamination is widespread. Meanwhile, the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been increasing. Cd is linked to bone damage. However, the osteotoxicity of environmental Cd exposure in NAFLD remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of Cd on bone metabolism in NAFLD mice. NAFLD mice were treated with 50 mg/L cadmium chloride in drinking water for 12 weeks. Bone microstructures were scanned ...

Rheological Properties and Composition Affecting the Skin Permeation of a Model of a Hydrophilic Drug in Lecithin Reverse Wormlike Micelles
Biol Pharm Bull. 2023 Dec 14. doi: 10.1248/bpb.b23-00704. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe investigated the effect of the rheological properties and composition of lecithin reverse wormlike micelles (LRWs) on the skin permeation of a model of a hydrophilic drug to determine whether LRWs support uniform hydrophilic drug/oil-based formulations and good drug penetrate into skin. Here, we prepared LRWs with D (-)-ribose (RI) or glycerol (GL) as polar compounds, liquid paraffin (LP) or isopropyl myristate (IPM) as oils, and 6-carboxyfluorescein (CF) as a model for a hydrophilic drug, and evaluated the rheological properties and...
