Thymol and carvacrol are aromatic compounds derived from plants that exhibit considerable broad-spectrum antimicrobial effects. They have also shown extensive biological effects, including antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic. Carvacrol thymol pleasant smells, tastes, potent antioxidant Therefore, along with their favorable toxicity, make an option as additive to inhibit microbial spoilage of foods agents against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, volatility, low stability, high hydrophobicity some the limitations thymol, which limit application. To increase efficacy carvacrol, especially properties, using a drug delivery system might be practical option. Encapsulation essential oils into appropriated nanocarriers may decrease potential limitations. thymol-encapsulated nanomaterials been more solubility increased antibacterial Here, we provide brief review effects nanoformulation give prospect on applications for future studies natural food additives.

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a form of malignancy with limited curative options available. To improve therapeutic outcomes, it imperative to develop novel, potent modalities. Ketoconazole (KET) has shown excellent efficacy against HCC by eliciting apoptosis. However, its water solubility hampers application in clinical treatment. Herein, mitochondria‐targeted chemo‐photodynamic nanoplatform, CS@KET/P780 NPs, designed using nanoprecipitation strategy integrating newly synthesized photosensitizer (P780) and chemotherapeutic agent KET coated chondroitin sulfate (CS) amplify therapy. In this CS confers tumor‐targeted subsequently pH‐responsive drug delivery behavior binding glycoprotein CD44, leading the release P780 KET. Mechanistically, following laser irradiation, targets destroys mitochondrial integrity, thus inducing apoptosis through enhancement reactive oxygen species (ROS) buildup. Meanwhile, KET‐induced synergistically enhances anticancer effect P780. addition, tumor cells undergoing can trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD) longer‐term antitumor response releasing tumor‐associated antigens (TAAs) damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which together contribute improved outcomes HCC.
