Results GMS nVP auNPs with > 75% entrapment efficiency & < 300nm particle size were prepared and surface modified nanoparticles showed >85% binding to the ligand. In cytotoxicity study nanoformulations showed higher cell viability at all time points as compared to NVP. Cell uptake study revealed higher uptake of nanoparticles as compared to NVP only. In vitro anti HIV assay of surface modified ...

Peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes are difficult diagnoses to make. Symptoms are often vague and mimic other musculoskeletal pathology. Clinicians' best diagnostic tools for entrapment neuropathies are a good history, physical examination, and anatomical knowledge. Neurodiagnostic testing and advanced imaging have some role to play in entrapment neuropathies, but these are not always necessa...

Chemotherapy research highly prioritizes overcoming the multidrug resistance (MDR) in human tumors. Liposomal formulation of fluoxetine, as a fourth generation chemosensitizer, was constructed and characterized for percent entrapment, release profile, morphology, particle size, zeta potential and stability. Liposomes were prepared using different active loading techniques. The influence of diff...

Thymol, an important and advantageous component of many essential oils, has been applied as an antimicrobial agent in animals. To increase the duration of action of this compound in ruminants, it was decided here to prepare a controlled release carrier for thymol. Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and ethyl cellulose (EC) were used as the matrix polymer here. Mixtures of thymol with eight ...

Objective(s): The aim of present study is to formulate mefenamic acid transdermal gel based on vesicular drug delivery approaches.Materials and Methods: For the preparation of mefenamic acid transdermal gel, transfersomes were selected as colloidal carriers. Transfersomes were prepared by hand shaking and thin film hydration techniques. The obtained transfersomes were characterized for vesicula...

Objective(s): Over the past two decades, considerable interest has been focused on utilizing biocompatible magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for biomedical applications. In this study, production of human serum albumin (HSA) nanoparticles using desolvation technique that were simultaneous loaded with high amounts of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) and 5-flourouracil (5-FU) was i...

The present study describes a genome-wide method for biallelic mutagenesis in mammalian cells. Novel poly(A) gene trap vectors, which contain features for direct cloning vector-cell fusion transcripts and for post-entrapment genome engineering, were used to generate a library of 979 mutant ES cells. The entrapment mutations generally disrupted gene expression and were readily transmitted throug...

Objective: This study aims to develop and evaluate the phytosome of Phyllanthus emblica L. fruit extract. Methods: The formation was performed by using three methods, namely solvent evaporation, antisolvent, thin layer method. evaluated for its entrapment efficiency, particle size, polydispersity index, Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) methods. made int...

Acyclovir is an antiviral drug used for the treatment of herpes simplex virus infections, with an oral bioavailability of only 10-20% [limiting absorption in gastrointestinal tract to duodenum and jejunum] and half-life of about 3 h, and is soluble only at acidic pH (pKa 2.27). Mucoadhesive polymeric nanodrug delivery systems of acyclovir have been designed and optimized using 2(3) full factori...
