J. Microencapsul. 31(6) , 519-28, (2014)

To develop non-toxic aqueous ocular drug delivery systems containing prednisolone by means of its nanoencapsulation.Nanocapsules were prepared by interfacial deposition of preformed polymer [poly(ε-caprolactone) or Eudragit® RS100]. Particle size distribution...

Caenorhabditis elegans as an alternative in vivo model to determine oral uptake, nanotoxicity, and efficacy of melatonin-loaded lipid-core nanocapsules on paraquat damage.

Int. J. Nanomedicine 10 , 5093-106, (2015)

Caenorhabditis elegans is an alternative in vivo model that is being successfully used to assess the pharmacological and toxic effects of drugs. The exponential growth of nanotechnology requires the use of alternative in vivo models to assess the toxic effect...

A novel approach to arthritis treatment based on resveratrol and curcumin co-encapsulated in lipid-core nanocapsules: In vivo studies.

Eur. J. Pharm. Sci. 78 , 163-70, (2015)

Resveratrol and curcumin are two natural polyphenols extensively used due to their remarkable anti-inflammatory activity. The present work presents an inedited study of the in vivo antioedematogenic activity of these polyphenols co-encapsulated in lipid-core ...
