Nanomedicine is becoming very popular over conventional methods due to the ability to tune physico-chemical properties of nano vectors, which are used for encapsulation of therapeutic and diagnostic agents. However, the success of nanomedicine primarily relies on how specifically and efficiently nanocarriers can target pathological sites to minimize undesirable side effects and enhance therapeu...

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 cyto...

Background. Cardiac ischemia is the major cause of morbidity and mortality which can be increased by Statins. This study aimed to increase effectiveness simvastatin in form niosomes. Methods. In this study, 25 male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups: control, (induced closed LAD), receiving nano-niosomes, simvastatin, simvastatin-loaded nano-niosomes. One month after drug injection, RNA was...

Niosomes are considered as novel nano-carrier in the drug delivery systems. These much more stable than other nano-carriers like liposomes and nanoparticles. It is an example for targeted control release of medication. The entrapped into lipid core so that it prevents from leaching. Here will be only to desired cell/tissue not non-targeted cells. By giving this formulation we can thereby reduce...

niosomes, non-ionic surfactant vesicles (nsvs), are the hydrated lipids composed mainly of different classes of non-ionic surfactants, introduced in the seventies as a cosmetic vehicle. nowadays, niosomes are used as important new drug delivery systems by many research groups and also they are effective immunoadjuvants which some commercial forms are available in the market. these vesicles rece...

Targeted drug-delivery systems are used for the administration of pharmaceutical medicament enables localization drugs to diseased sites. Different types uses carriers, like immunoglobulins, serum proteins, synthetic polymers, liposomes, nanoparticle and microspheres. Niosomes an emerging type novel vesicular systems. Now they being fervent explored as potential carriers targeted drug delivery....

The goal of the current study was to explore the potential benefits of Acitretin (Act) nanovesicular gel as a prospective antipsoriatic topical delivery system counteracting the drug challenges in terms of its extremely low aqueous solubility, instability, skin irritation, and serious systemic adverse effects. Act-loaded niosomes were successfully developed, entirely characterized, and optimize...

The formulation and evaluation of diclofenac sodium from liposomes, niosomes and nanoemulsion are analyzed. The release profiles of diclofenac sodium were almost similar in all the formulations. It is found that 85% of diclofenac sodium diffused out from the colloidal systems within 8hrs and practically all the drug was released within 12hrs. In addition to this controlled release, the similari...
