Evaluation of cytotoxicity, loading, and release activity of paclitaxel loaded-porphyrin based metal-organic framework (PCN-600)

Khadijeh Hamidian et al.

Summary: Due to the side effects and lack of drug release control in conventional therapeutic treatments, there is a need for novel biocompatible carriers. In this study, an iron-based organic metal framework (PCN-600) was synthesized as a drug delivery system. The PCN-600 crystals had a hexagonal-rod morphology with dimensions of 300 nm in length and 100-300 nm in width. The anticancer drug Paclitaxel (PTX) was successfully loaded into PCN-600 with a loading efficiency of 87.3%. PTX-encapsulated PCN-600 exhibited controlled and sustained release for up to 24 hours at pH = 7.4.

The evaluation of in vitro antichagasic and anti-SARS-CoV-2 potential of inclusion complexes of I3-and methyl-I3-cyclodextrin with naphthoquinone

Veronica da Silva Oliveira et al.

Summary: The compound IVS320 was studied for its antifungal and antichagasic potential, but it has low aqueous solubility. To improve bioavailability, inclusion complexes with I3-cyclodextrin and methyl-I3-cyclodextrin were prepared using different methods. The inclusion complexes showed changes in physicochemical characteristics and decreased crystallinity compared to IVS320 alone. The IVS320 and IVS320-MI3CD/RE system exhibited anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity, and IVS320 showed interactions with the viral protein. The highest antichagasic activity was observed with IVS320-I3CD/KN and IVS320-MI3CD/PM.
