although the conventional therapies have obviously improved the conditions of patients with cancer, some mechanisms of resistance have led scientists to use alternative agents that can penetrate in most solid tumors. furthermore, the success of cancer therapies depends on limiting the uptake of toxins to normal tissues and their selectivity to malignant cells. the involvement of natural and gen...

background the development of drug delivery systems has improved the therapeutic and toxic properties of existing drugs in therapy. microemulsion systems are novel vehicles for drug delivery, which have been developed in recent years. these systems are currently of interest to the pharmaceutical scientist because of their considerable potential to act as drug delivery vehicles by incorporating ...

Conventional emulsions are heterogeneous system in which one immiscible liquid is dispersed as droplets in another liquid. That may be water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions. However emulsion can be formulated waterless or without an aqueous phase to produce anhydrous or non-aqueous or oil-in-oil emulsions may be used as reservoirs to deliver lipophilic or hydrolytically unstable drugs, could b...

curcumin is a natural polyphenolic compound with anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidation properties. low water solubility and rapid hydrolytic degradation are two challenges limiting use of curcumin as therapeutic agent. in the current study, the role of the bovine serum albumin (bsa), β-lactoglobulin and casein, as food-grade biopolymers and safe drug delivery systems, on the physic...

Over the past several decades, nanoparticles (NPs) have shown promising capabilities in field of medicine for their applications as vehicles targeted drug delivery [...]
