Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclodextrin-based nanosponges encapsulating camptothecin: physicochemical characterization, stability and cytotoxicity.
Shankar Swaminathan,Linda Pastero,Loredana Serpe,Francesco Trotta,Pradeep R. Vavia,Dino Aquilano,Michele Trotta,Gian Paolo Zara,Roberta Cavalli +8 more
TL;DR: The cytotoxicity studies on HT-29 cells showed that the CAM formulations were more cytotoxic than plain CAM after 24h of incubation, and in vitro studies indicated a slow and prolonged CAM release over a period of 24h.
Journal ArticleDOI
Encapsulation of Acyclovir in new carboxylated cyclodextrin-based nanosponges improves the agent's antiviral efficacy.
David Lembo,Shankar Swaminathan,Shankar Swaminathan,Manuela Donalisio,Andrea Civra,Linda Pastero,Dino Aquilano,Pradeep R. Vavia,Francesco Trotta,Roberta Cavalli +9 more
TL;DR: New carboxylated cyclodextrin-based nanosponges (Carb-NS) carrying carboxylic groups within their structure were purposely designed as novel Acyclovir carriers, confirming the incorporation of the drug into the NS structure and NS-A cyclovir interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three study cases of growth morphology in minerals: Halite, calcite and gypsum
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the subject of crystal morphology by using three important minerals, calcite, halite and gypsum, as three didactic case studies to illustrate the application of the current knowledge in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology of Calcite (CaCO3) Crystals Growing from Aqueous Solutions in the Presence of Li+ Ions. Surface Behavior of the {0001} Form
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that calcite crystals were nucleated and grown from supersaturated aqueous solutions in the presence of variable concentrations of lithium, and the diagram of supersaturation vs [Li+]/[Ca2+] concentration r
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical Equilibrium Morphology of Gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O)- 1. A Syncretic Strategy to Calculate the Morphology of Crystals
TL;DR: In this article, the theoretical and equilibrium morphology of gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) is reassessed, starting from the historical papers by Simon and Bienfait (1965) and by Heijnen and Hartman (1991).
