An advanced mode of drug delivery system has been developed to overcome the major drawbacks associated with conventional drug delivery systems. This review gives a detailed idea about a nanoemulsion system. Nanoemulsions are nano-sized emulsions, which are manufactured for improving the delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients. These are the thermodynamically stable isotropic system in whi...

Our previous study showed that nanoemulsion-encapsulated MAGE1-HSP70/SEA (MHS) complex protein vaccine elicited MAGE-1 specific immune response and antitumor effects against MAGE-1-expressing tumor and nanoemulsion is a useful vehicle with possible important implications for cancer biotherapy. The purpose of this study was to compare the immune responses induced by nanoemulsion-encapsulated MAG...

Fish oil has several dietary benefits, but its application in food formulations is limited because of its poor water-solubility, easy oxidation and strong odor. The purposes of this study were to produce a fish oil/γ-oryzanol nanoemulsion and to evaluate the effect of adding this nanoemulsion on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of yogurts. Adding fish oil/γ-oryzanol nanoemulsion ...

Atorvastatin, a highly lipophilic anti-hyperlipidemic drug, has poor oral bioavailability (14%) due to hepatic first pass effect. The present study aimed at developing an optimal oral nanoemulsion formulation containing an atorvastatin using different proportions of oil and surfactant systems for enhancing its oral bioavailability. Pseudoternary phase diagrams were constructed by aqueous titrat...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)is the most common condition in aging men, associated with lower urinary tract symptoms. It is caused due to the augmented levels of the androgen dihydrotestosterone. Dutasteride, a 5α-Reductase inhibitor has been recommended for the treatment of BPH upon oral administration. However, long term oral administration of dutasteride may cause sexual problem in man....

Probiotic formulations containing lecithin phospholipids have been shown to extend their viability. However, the protective effect of and properties mixtures probiotic cells in aqueous media not fully documented. The aim this study was investigate interactions between Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis (Bifido) probiotics lecithin. lecithin-Bifido were dependent on concentration. FTIR Raman s...

BACKGROUND Preparation of nanoformulations using natural products as bioactive substances is considered very promising for innovative larvicidal agents. On this context, oil in water nanoemulsions develop a main role, since they satisfactorily disperse poor-water soluble substances, such as herbal oils, in aqueous media. Pterodon emarginatus, popularly known as sucupira, has a promising bioacti...

The polyphenolic compound, curcumin, is a natural yellow pigment component of turmeric. It exerts various biological effects, such as anti-inflammatory effects, and we have previously demonstrated that curcumin is a specific inhibitor of DNA polymerase λ. Curcumin is characterized by poor bioavailability as it is water-insoluble, is poorly absorbed and is systemically eliminated. In order to in...
