Nanomaterials are increasingly used as drug carriers for cancer therapy. Nanomaterials also appeal to researchers in the areas of cancer diagnosis and biomarker discovery. Several antitumor nanodrugs are currently being tested in preclinical and clinical trials and show promise in therapeutic and other settings. We review the development of nanomaterial drug carriers, including liposomes, polym...

In this research at the first fluoxetine drug and its fullerene derivative were optimized. NBO calculations and NMR for the complexes were carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G*quantum chemistry level. Different parameters such as energy levels, the amount of Chemical Shift in different atoms, the amount of HOMO/LUMO, chemical potential (µ ), chemical hardness (η), Thermodynamic Properties was determi...

Many bioactive natural products are derived from traditional Chinese medicine. Some of them showed good treatment potential in tumor chemotherapy. However, limited by the poorly solubility and non-selective toxicity most products, their antitumor efficacy could not be further applied clinicals. Nano-drug delivery systems provided platforms for treatment, many microenvironment-responsive nano-de...

  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...

Background: Non-viral Nano carriers such as liposomes and cationic polymers based on engineered properties are regarded in gene delivery field. Although these carriers do not have weaknesses of viral vectors, but they are less efficient than viruses and they still need to be improved as favorable gene delivery carriers. Amongst non-viral carriers, cationic liposomes have been proposed for clini...

In this research at the first Afrin drug or and its fullerene derivative were optimized. Afrin is a nasal congestion drug that acts by contraction of the blood vessels of the arteries and veins. Afrin acts directly on the nasal vessels. Eclipse of the blood vessels in your nose and the sinuses causes the water to be collected and the nasal congestion is reduced. And this medicine is used for co...

Nano drug delivery system is the latest technology employed in various medicinal applications. This technology can be adapted to the conventional drug administration due to its site-specific targeting phenomena. The oral lipophilic drug administration has its drawbacks due to poor solubility and bioavailability. Lipid-based carrier systems are now widely popular due to improved efficiency, espe...

Micro/nanoparticles could cause adverse effects on cardiovascular system and increase the risk for cardiovascular disease-related events. Nanoparticles prepared from poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), namely PEG-b-PCL, a widely studied biodegradable copolymer, are promising carriers for the drug delivery systems. However, it is unknown whether polymeric PEG-b-PCL nano-mic...

we propose a new generation of unbiased (bias-free) antenna-less cw thz photomixer emitters array made of asymmetric msm gratings with subwavelength pitch, operating in optical near-field regime. we take advantage of the size effects in near-field optics and electrostatics to demonstrate the possibility of enhancing the thz power by four orders of magnitude, as compared with a similar array of ...
