Background: is an important human pathogen, especially causing skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). Over the decades, the infections caused by antibiotic-resistant strains have often become life-threatening. Consequently, exploration and development of competent approaches to combat these serious circumstances are urgently required. Read More

The aim of present study was to develop folic acid (FA)-modified nonionic surfactant vesicles (NISVs, niosomes) as carrier systems for targeted delivery of gambogenic acid (GNA). The FA-GNA-NISVs exhibited a mean particle size of 180.77 ± 2. Read More

This work describes the preparation of a PEGylated niosomes-mediated drug delivery systems for Paeonol, thereby improving the bioavailability and chemical stability of Paeonol, prolonging its cellular uptake and enhancing its synergistic anti-cancer effects with 5-Fu. PEGylated niosomes, which are prepared from biocompatible nonionic surfactant of Spans 60 and cholesterol, and modified with PEG-SA. Pae-PEG-NISVs were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Read More

Vaccines administered parenterally have been developed against gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) for anti-fertility and anti-cancer purposes. The aim of this study was to demonstrate whether mucosal delivery using GnRH immunogens entrapped in lipid nanoparticles (LNP) could induce anti-GnRH antibody titers. Immunogens consisting of KLH (keyhole limpet hemocyanin) conjugated to either GnRH-I or GnRH-III analogues were entrapped in LNP. Read More

Gambogenic acid (GNA), a popular Chinese traditional medicine, has its limitations of coming into use due to its low aqueous solubility and poor bioavailability. In this study, therefore, the PEGylated non-ionic surfactant vesicles drug delivery systems were prepared from biocompatible non-ionic surfactant of Span60, cholesterol and dicetyl phosphate (DCP) by the improved ethanol injection method, and were modified with a polyethylene glycol monostearate15 (PEG15-SA). PEG15-SA, as a biocompatible, non-toxic and non-immunogenic hydrophilic segment, was grafted onto the surface of colloidal niosomes carries to reduce the uptake by the reticuloendothelial system (RES), prolonging the circulation time and attaining higher entrapment efficiency.
