Nanotechnology applied to the treatment of malaria.

TL;DR: The main requirements for developing new nanotechnology-based carriers as a promising choice in malaria treatment, especially in the case of severe cerebral malaria are emphasized, taking into account the peculiarities of malaria parasites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colloidal carriers for benzathine penicillin G: nanoemulsions and nanocapsules.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main purpose of this work is to formulate benzathine penicillin G nanoemulsion and nanocapsules, to evaluate their physicochemical and stabilising characteristics, and to determine their antimicrobial activity and penicin in vitro release kinetics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel core(polyester)-shell(polysaccharide) nanoparticles: protein loading and surface modification with lectins

TL;DR: New lectin-decorated or protein-loaded nanoparticles with a hydrophobic poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) core and a Hydrophilic dextran (Dex) corona are described, suggesting the possible application of this type of surface-modified nanoparticles for targeted oral administration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Usnic acid: a non-genotoxic compound with anti-cancer properties.

TL;DR: Usnic acid, a normal component of lichens, showed activity against the wild-type p53 breast cancer cell line MCF7 as well as the non-functional p53 Breast Cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 and the lung cancercell line H1299 (null for p53).
