Formulation of ternary genistein β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex: In vitro characterization and…
Genistein (GT) is a poorly water-soluble flavonoid and reported for different biological activity. The present work was designed to prepare the inclusion complex using β-Cyclodextrins (β-CDs) as complexing agent and D -α-Tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) as ternary substance to…

A synthetic antibiotic class overcoming bacterial multidrug resistance
The dearth of new medicines effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria presents a growing global public health concern1. For more than five decades, the search for new antibiotics has relied heavily on the chemical modification of natural products (semisynthesis), a method ill-equipped to…

Therapeutic efficacy and gastrointestinal biodistribution of polycationic nanoparticles for oral…
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world and is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths. New cases are increasingly diagnosed every day, but current therapeutic options are still insufficient for an effective treatment. In CRC treatment, there is a…

Amorphous Solid Dispersions (ASDs): The Influence of Material Properties, Manufacturing Processes…
Poorly water-soluble drugs pose a significant challenge to developability due to poor oral absorption leading to poor bioavailability. Several approaches exist that improve the oral absorption of such compounds by enhancing the aqueous solubility and/or dissolution rate of the drug. These include…

Simultaneous determination of third-generation synthetic cannabinoids in oral fluids using…
A microporous material made of cyclodextrin units covalently immobilized into a silica network has found an innovative bioanalytical application in the sample clean-up and simultaneous isolation of three synthetic cannabinoids (ADB-CHMICA, MMB-CHMICA, and MDMB-CHMCZCA) from human oral fluid through…

Cyclodextrin-based supramolecular low melting mixtures: efficient absorbents for volatile organic…
Cyclodextrins (CDs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are emerging absorbent materials for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In this study, we have used combination of modified CDs and levulinic acid to form four DESs analogs, referred to as supramolecular low-melting mixtures…

Development of Chitosan/Cyclodextrin Nanospheres for Levofloxacin Ocular Delivery
Levofloxacin (LVF) is an antibacterial drug approved for the treatment of ocular infections. However, due to the low ocular bioavailability, high doses are needed, causing bacterial resistance. Polymeric nanospheres (NPs) loading antibiotic drugs represent the most promising approach to eradicate…
