TL;DR
The findings support FA-Zn-Dio-AP nanoparticles as a promising platform for controlled, colon-directed delivery of Dio and showed improved stability under thermal, pH, ionic-strength, and refrigerated storage conditions.
Diosmin (DSN) is a potent flavonoid used for chronic venous insufficiency, but its therapeutic potential is constrained by poor aqueous solubility and low oral bioavailability (BCS Class IV). To overcome these challenges, a hybrid polymeric nanocarrier system comprising poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and (2-hydro...

Resveratrol (RES), a natural compound widely used as a food additive and preservative, exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, its poor solubility and stability severely limit its translational potential for clinical applications. To address these challenges, we developed a core-shell nanopartic...

Enhanced efficacy is attributed to the synergistic action of butyric acid as a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi), which complements curcumin’s anticancer activity.
In this study, capecitabine (CAP) niosomes were prepared using the thin-film hydration method with Span 60 and cholesterol as key excipients and the formulation was optimized using a 32 factorial design. The synthesized folic acid-chitosan (FA-CS) conjugate was used to functionalize the niosome surface. An optimized fo...
