Glioblastoma (GBM) conventional treatment is not curative, and it associated with severe toxicity. Thus, natural compounds anti-cancer properties lower systemic toxicity, such as gallic acid (GA), have been explored alternatives. However, GA’s therapeutic effects are limited due to its rapid metabolism, low bioavailability, permeability across the blood–brain barrier (BBB). This work aimed develop poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) modified folic (FA), receptor overexpressed in BBB GBM cells, for GA delivery enhance efficacy. The preparation of NPs was optimized by a central composite design (CCD). obtained showed physicochemical features suitable drug internalization tumor cells (sizes below 200 nm, monodispersity, negative surface charge) ability maintain slow sustained release 40 days. In vitro studies using human cell line (U215) revealed NPs’ accumulate target further promoting antiproliferative activity inducing production intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, encapsulation developed nanosystems conferred higher protection healthy cells.

Amphotericin B is an antifungal drug used for the treatment of invasive fungal infections. However, its clinical use limited due to serious side effects, such as renal and cardiovascular toxicity. Furthermore, amphotericin administered in high doses poor water solubility. Hence, it necessary develop on-demand release strategy delivery reduce cytotoxicity. The present report describes a novel encapsulation into lipase-sensitive polycaprolactone form nanocomposite. Nanocomposites were produced by oil-in-water method their physicochemical properties size, hydrodynamic diameter, loading, zeta potential determined. vitro was characterized presence absence lipase. activity nanocomposites verified against lipase-secreting Candida albicans, cytotoxicity tested primary human dermal fibroblasts. In lipase, from minimal. enzyme that abundant at infection sites, fungicidal concentration released nanocomposites. showed enhanced effect fungus, comparison free same concentration. nanoencapsulation significantly reduced B-related compared drug. synthesized can serve potent carrier responsive applications.

Restoring bone homeostasis is the key to treatment of osteoporosis. How increase osteogenic ability or inhibit osteoclast activity has always been a topic great concern. In recent years, short peptides with biological have received attention in repair. However, application still limited due lack stable and targeted delivery system. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles modified by alendronate (AL) transport (OGP) (AL-PLGA@P NPs) are designed. Benefiting from high affinity AL for hydroxyapatite, AL-PLGA@P NPs target bone. this system, OGP that promotes osteogenesis synergizes AL, which inhibits osteoclasts, regulate homeostasis, gives them more advantages The data shows can selectively deliver surface without systemic toxicity. Moreover, upregulate osteogenesis-related factors (ALP, Runx-2, BMP2) downregulate osteoclast-related (TRAP CTSK) vitro. With NPs, microarchitecture mass improved ovariectomized osteoporosis rats. Therefore, study proposes novel osteoporosis-based drug system effectively improves density.
