In-Situ Implant Formulation of Laurate and Myristate Prodrugs of Dolutegravir for Ultra-Long Delivery

Tahir Khuroo et al.

Summary: The present work focuses on synthesizing prodrugs of dolutegravir (DTG) for ultra-long delivery purpose. The prodrugs were characterized and found to lower the melting point and solubility of DTG while increasing its lipophilicity. Furthermore, the prodrugs and drugs were formulated into implants to achieve prolonged drug release.

Apremilast prevents IL-17-induced cellular senescence in ATDC5 chondrocytes mediated by SIRT1

Benlong Wang et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that apremilast can reduce the expression of IL-1 beta, MCP-1, and the production of ROS, as well as suppress IL-17-induced cellular senescence and G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest. Additionally, apremilast also inhibited the expression of p21 and PAI-1 induced by IL-17.

Thymoquinone Loaded Topical Nanoemulgel for Wound Healing: Formulation Design and In-Vivo Evaluation

Mohammed S. Algahtani et al.

Summary: Thymoquinone, a natural bioactive substance with therapeutic activity against multiple ailments, was incorporated into a nanoemulsion-based hydrogel system to enhance its topical efficacy in wound healing. The use of black seed oil improved the drug loading capacity and reduced oil droplet size, resulting in enhanced skin penetrability and deposition characteristics after topical administration. The nanoemulgel system demonstrated quicker and early healing in wounded rats compared to conventional hydrogel systems, showing comparable efficacy with marketed cream containing silver sulfadiazine.

Inhibitory Effect of pH-Responsive Nanogel Encapsulating Ginsenoside CK against Lung Cancer

Ziyang Xue et al.

Summary: In this study, a pH-responsive nanogel was prepared as a potential nanocarrier for CK to enhance its antitumor effects against lung cancer. The nanogel efficiently encapsulated CK and showed high drug loading and encapsulation efficiency. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated the superior inhibitory rates of CK-loaded nanogels against tumor volume compared to CK alone.

Optimizing the Process Design of Oil-in-Water Nanoemulsion for Delivering Poorly Soluble Cannabidiol Oil

Agnieszka Lewinska

Summary: The study compared oil-in-water nanoemulsions prepared by sonication method and high-pressure homogenization method, finding that sonication produced larger and more dispersed nanodroplets. Increasing the percentage of surfactant resulted in a higher Zeta potential. The formulations of nanoemulsions were stable and showed good biocompatibility with human skin cells.

Polymers in topical delivery of anti-psoriatic medications and other topical agents in overcoming the barriers of conventional treatment strategies

Krishna Yadav et al.

Summary: This review highlights the inefficiency of topical treatments in delivering medication to specific skin locations without suitable drug carriers. It emphasizes the therapeutic potential of polymers in delivering drugs deeper into the skin membrane, particularly in cases like psoriasis. The research suggests that further investigation into suitable polymers could optimize the effectiveness of a wide range of polymers for targeted psoriasis treatment.
