A novel iron oxide contrast agent: Nano in size and functioning as micron-sized particles
INTRODUCTION MR cellular imaging using iron-oxide-based contrast agents is an attractive technique in cell tracking and monitoring cell therapies. However, one major obstacle of the widespread application of this technique in clinics is the low sensitivity inherently associated with MRI. Therefore, there are a lot of efforts aimed at enhancing the susceptibility effect induced by the iron-oxide...
متن کاملNovel delivery system for natural products: Nano-curcumin formulations
Objective: Curcumin is extracted from Curcuma longa and regulates the intracellular signal pathways which control the growth of cancerous cell, inflammation, invasion and apoptosis. Curcumin molecules have special intrinsic features that can target the intracellular enzymes, genome (DNA) and messengers (RNA). A wide range of studies have been conducted on the physicochemical traits and pharmaco...
متن کاملNanotechnology Applications in Functional Foods; Opportunities and Challenges.
Increasing knowledge on the link between diet and human health has generated a lot of interest in the development of functional foods. However, several challenges, including discovering of beneficial compounds, establishing optimal intake levels, and developing adequate food delivering matrix and product formulations, need to be addressed. A number of new processes and materials derived from na...
متن کاملA new method for the preparation of pure topiramate with a micron particle size
Crude topiramate was prepared from the reaction between diacetonefructopyranose, sulfuric diamide, and 2-picoline. During a controlled processing the presence of Triton-X-100, crude topiramate in a methanol-water solvent, was converted to pure micron size topiramate particles. The factors affecting the purification and micronization of topiramate, such as solvent and anti-solvent type and conce...
متن کاملFunctional Foods and Biotechnology
“Functional Foods” are foods or dietary components that claim to provide health benefits aside from basic nutrition. These foods contain biologically active substances such as antioxidants that may lower the risks from certain diseases associated with aging. Examples of functional foods include fruits and vegetables, whole grains, soy, milk, enhanced foods and beverages and some dietary supplem...
