A variety of nano-carriers, nano-particles, nano-fibers, nano-tubes etc. have displayed greater competence to mimic nanoscale environment for the enzyme as compared to microand macro-environments provided by traditional support carriers that have been commonly employed for enzyme immobilization. The porous structured beads (silica, alginate etc.), membranes and fibers (>100 μm) have some inhere...

nano-sized drugs have better distribution than their identical forms. magnesium is the cofactor of various enzymes in lipid and glucose metabolism. in this study the effect of nano-magnesium oxide (nano-mgo) on glucose concentration and lipid profile in diabetes induced mice was evaluated in 21 laboratory mice. mice were divided randomly into three equal groups (control, treatment and placebo)....

Development of delivery systems for new drug for its safe and effective delivery it into the body is an integral part of drug research program. This is particularly true due to increased incidence of adverse pharmacokinetic behavior of new drugs developed recently. Alternative delivery systems have been researched extensively not only to modulate their kinetic behavior in the body but also to a...

Polymers are being used extensively in drug delivery due to their surface and bulk properties. They are being used in drug formulations and in drug delivery devices. These drug delivery devices may be in the form of implants for controlled drug delivery. Polymers used in colloidal drug carrier systems, consisting of small particles, show great advantage in drug delivery systems because of optim...

Objective(s): Artemisia absinthium is an aromatic, perennial small shrub that shows multiple medical benefits, including anticancerous, neuroprotective, antifungal, hepatoprotective, antidepressant and antioxidant properties. One of the effective approaches to treat Alzheimer’s disease is targeting amyloid aggregation by antiamyloid drugs. In the current research study, an excellent grouping of...

During the past two decades, rapid development of nanomedicine has offered new opportunities in designing and evaluating novel treatment strategies for several neurological and psychiatric diseases. Application of nanomaterials as drug carriers in psychiatry has potentially numerous advantages, primarily in terms of the increased therapeutic efficiency of the medicament, and reduction of toxici...
