This paper aims to encapsulate into solid lipid nanoparticles a mixture of two bioactive compounds, a photoprotective agent and an antioxidant compound. The co-encapsulation effect of octocrylene sunscreen and flavonoid (luteolinon) has been studied on the specific properties like antioxidant activity, sun protection factor and photostability. Using the high preasure homogenization technique li...

Doxorubicin is an anthracycline group antibiotic and has long been used as an antineoplastic agent. The most important side effect that limits the usage of doxorubicin is cardiotoxicity, which is observed at cumulative doses. We investigated the protective effect of clarithromycin that is known to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects against Doxorubicin related cardiotoxicity. The aim...

Carnosine is a dipeptide of β-alanine and histidine amino acids. It is widely present in muscle and brain tissues. Carnosine has been demonstrated to be an antioxidant agent that is beneficial in animals. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and aldehydes are are generated from membrane fatty acid oxidation. The antioxidant potential and toxicity of salsolinol had been extensively studied in vivo and ...

Trace levels of transition metals can participate in the metal-catalyzed Haber-Weiss reaction (superoxide-driven Fenton reaction) as well as catalyze the oxidation of ascorbate. Generally ascorbate is thought of as an excellent reducing agent; it is able to serve as a donor antioxidant in free radical-mediated oxidation processes. However, as a reducing agent it is also able to reduce redox-act...
