Efaverinz and nano-gold-loaded mannosylated niosomes: a host cell-targeted topical HIV-1 prophylaxis via thermogel system

The inhibitory effect of Acyclovir loaded nano-niosomes against herpes simplex virus type-1 in cell culture

  Background :Wide distribution and low half-life of acyclovir has led to a high dose consumption of the drug. Recent studies have shown that encapsulation of acyclovir in nano-carriers can increase effectiveness and decrease its side effects. We investigated the inhibitory effect of acyclovir loaded nano-niosomes against herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) in cell culture.   Methods : In-vitro...

preparation and characterization of acyclovir loaded nano-niosomes as a potential antiviral drug delivery system

Mannosylated Lipid Nano-emulsions Loaded with Lycorine-oleic Acid Ionic Complex for Tumor Cell-specific Delivery

This study was to prepare a mannosylated lycorine lipid nano-emulsion formulation (M-LYC-OA-LNEs) for the aim of achieving tumor targeting delivery of lycorine (LYC) . The low lipophilicity of LYC made it hard to be dispersed into lipid nano-emulsions (LNEs). In order to increase its lipophilicity, lycorine-oleic acid ionic complex (LYC-OA) was made. M-LYC-OA-LNEs and uncoated lycorine-oleic ac...

Formulation and Evaluation of Nystatin Loaded Niosomes

Nystatin is bacterial originated polyene antifungal agent. The aim of the study is to develop the niosomal nystatin gel for transdermal administration. Formulations were developed using thin film hydration technique. Developed formulations were characterized for particle size, shape, % entrapment efficiency, in vitro drug release, etc. After analyzing the results, best formulation is optimized ...
