Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a dilapidating condition which characterized by inflammation, an excess in free radical generation and airway obstruction. Currently, the drugs commercially available for management of COPD pose several limitations such as systemic adverse effects, including bone density loss increased risk developing pneumonia. Moreover, another limitation includes need regular frequent dosing regimens; can affect adherence to therapy. Furthermore, these current treatments provide symptomatic relief; however, they cannot stop progression COPD. Comparatively, nanoparticles (NPs) great therapeutic potential treat due their high specificity, biocompatibility, higher bioavailability. NP-based drug delivery systems involve less requirements smaller doses assist minimizing side effects. In this review, benefits conventional therapies are explored, while providing in-depth insight on advanced applications treatment

As a common musculoskeletal disorder, frozen shoulder is characterized by thickened joint capsule and limited range of motion, affecting 2-5% the general population more than 20% patients with diabetes mellitus. Pathologically, fibrosis resulting from fibroblast activation key event. The activated fibroblasts are proliferative contractive, producing excessive collagen. Albeit high prevalence, effective anti-fibrosis modalities, especially fibroblast-targeting therapies, still lacking. In this study, microRNA-122 was first identified sequencing data as potential therapeutic agent to antagonize activation. Then, Agomir-122, an analog microRNA-122, loaded into poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (Agomir-122@NP), carrier excellent biocompatibility for delivery. Moreover, relying on homologous targeting effect, we coated Agomir-122@NP cell membrane derived (Agomir-122@MNP), attempt inhibit proliferation, contraction, collagen production abnormally fibroblasts. After confirming effect Agomir-122@MNP in vitro, proved that effectively curtailed activation, ameliorated fibrosis, restored motion mouse models both prophylactically therapeutically. Overall, targeted delivery method developed promising translational value against shoulder.

The development of anticancer drugs is costly and time intensive. Computational approaches optimize the process by studying molecules such as naphthoquinones. This research explores quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSPR) molecular interactions among 2,2-dimethyl-3-((3-nitrophenyl)amino)-2,3-dihydronaphtho[1,2-b]furan-4,5-dione (QPhNO2), a Nor-β-Lapachone derivative with properties, following polymers for nanoencapsulation: polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycaprolactone (PCL), poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA). Spartan 14 optimized compounds using density functional theory (DFT), while ArgusLab performed docking, Discovery Studio analyzed post-docking results. Simulations indicated that larger energy gaps are more stable less prone to deformation than QPhNO2, facilitating interaction polymer chains. binding energies PMMA/QPhNO2, PCL/QPhNO2, PLGA/QPhNO2 were −4.607, −4.437, −1.814 kcal/mol, respectively. Docking analysis revealed non-bonded between QPhNO2. These findings highlight role computational methods in nanoencapsulation characterization, guiding future analogs combinations.
