Abstract
Medicinal plants have been widely used for therapeutic purposes for a long time, but they have been found to have some major issues such as low water solubility and bioavailability. In the present study, the nanoformulation of Curcuma longa L. plant extract was prepared to enhance its dissolution potential and biological activities. For the formulation of the nanosuspension, an ethanolic extract of C. longa was prepared through Soxhlet extraction using the nanoformulation technique. The nanosuspensions were formulated using four different stabilizers, namely sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and polysorbate-80 (P-80). The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), polydispersity index, and ζ potential were used for characterization of the nanoformulation. Among all of these, the surfactant stabilizer SLS was found to be the best. The average particle size of the selected optimized nanosuspension was found to be 308.2 nm with a polydispersity index (PDI) value of 0.330. The ζ potential value of the optimized nanosuspension was recorded at -33.3 mV. The SEM image indicated that the particles were slightly agglomerated, which may have occurred during lyophilization of the nanosuspension. The highest dissolution rate recorded at pH = 7 was 192.32 μg/mL, which indicates pH = 7 as the most appropriate condition for the dissolution of the C. longa nanosuspension. The antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antifungal activities of the optimized nanosuspension were also determined with regard to the coarse plant extract. The study findings suggested that the nanoprecipitation approach helps in enhancing the dissolution potential and biological activities of C. longa root extract.

Abstract
This study aimed to formulate the green, sustainable, and ecofriendly nanobiopesticides of Azadirachta indica with enhanced pest control efficacy. Nanoprecipitation method was used for the development of nanobiopesticides. Optimisation was done by response surface methodology. Nanoformulations were characterised by zetasizer, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Pesticidal potential of nanosuspensions was evaluated by insecticide impregnated filter paper method. Optimised nanobiopesticide showed an average particle size of 275.8 ± 0.95 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) 0.351 ± 0.002, and zeta potential of -33 ± 0.90 mV. Nanobiopesticides exhibited significantly higher mortality rates of 86.81 ± 3.04 and 84.97 ± 2.83% against Tribolium castaneum and Ryzopertha dominica, respectively, as compared to their crude extract. Minor change in particle size from 275.8 ± 0.95 to 298.8 ± 1.00 nm and PDI from 0.351 ± 0.002 to 0.445 ± 0.02 were observed after 3 months of storage at 4 °C. Pesticidal efficacy of A. indica was significantly enhanced by the formulation of its nanobiopesticides.

Abstract
Biocompatible and biodegradable amphiphilic polymeric micelles (PLA-CMCS-g-OA) were prepared by surface grafting of oleic acid and polylactic acid onto carboxymethyl chitosan and were used as templates for the crystallization of camptothecin. The camptothecin (CPT) nanocrystals prepared by the novel micelle-templated antisolvent crystallization (mt-ASC) method demonstrated higher crystallinity, narrower particle size distribution, and slower release characteristic than those prepared by conventional antisolvent crystallization (c-ASC) using a high initial concentration and fast addition rate. In particular, the CPT release behavior of mt-ASC products in phosphate buffer solutions presented a pH-responsive characteristic with the increasing release rate of CPT under lower pH conditions. This work confirmed that amphiphilic nanomicelle-templated crystallization was an effective method for preparing drug nanocrystals.

Abstract
Background Cyclosporin A (CsA) is a hydrophobic drug widely used as an immunosuppressant and anti-rejection drug in solid organ transplantation. On the market, there are two oral CsA formulations available containing polyoxyethylene castor oil, which can cause serious allergic reactions and nephrotoxicity. In order to eliminate polyoxyethylene castor oil, CsA was formulated into a nanosuspension. This study aimed to design an oral cyclosporin A nanosuspensions (CsA-NSs) and investigate the effect of particle size on absorption of CsA-NSs. Methods CsA-NSs were prepared using a wet bead milling method. Particle size, morphology and crystallinity state of CsA-NSs were characterized. The in vitro dissolution, the intestinal absorption properties and pharmacokinetic study of CsA-NSs were investigated. Results CsA-NSs with sizes of 280 nm, 522 nm and 2967 nm were prepared. The shape of CsA-NSs with smaller size was similar to that of spheres. The crystallinity of CsA in nanocrystals was reduced. The dissolution rate of CsA-NSs (280 nm) was greater than that of CsA-NSs (522 nm) and CsA-NSs (2967 nm). CsA-NSs (280 nm) showed higher absorption rate constants (Kα) and effective permeability coefficients (Peff) of different intestinal segments compared with that of CsA-NSs (522 nm) and CsA-NSs (2967 nm). AUC0-48h of 280 nm CsA-NSs was about 1.12-fold of that of 522 nm CsA-NSs, and about 1.51-fold of that of 2967 nm CsA-NSs. In particular, the particle size of CsA-NSs was nanoscale, and their bioavailability was bioequivalent with marked self-microemulsion (Sandimmun Neoral®). Conclusion It is feasible to prepare CsA-NSs. The dissolution rate, gastrointestinal transport properties and the oral absorption of CsA-NSs were promoted by reducing size. Considering the cost, efficiency and energy consumption, there should be an optimal particle size range in industrial production.

Abstract
Shellac can be used as an ideal delivery vehicle to deliver and protect the hydrophobic quercetagetin; the barriers such as low acid stability and encapsulation efficiency, however, heavily impede the application of shellac. The purpose of this work is to prepare quercetagetin-loaded shellac-quaternized chitosan nanoparticles (Que-Sh-QCS NPs) to overcome these challenges. Herein, quaternized chitosan, with 14% degree of substitution, was successfully synthesized via a quaternization modification. The concentration of quaternized chitosan over 0.05% can prevent the aggregation of shellac nanoparticles at the acid. The encapsulation efficiency of quercetagetin obviously increased from 37.92 to 65.48% with the concentration of QCS varying from 0 to 0.05%. Meanwhile, Que-Sh-QCS0.05 NPs possessed good storage stability, antioxidant property, biocompatibility, and controlled release. Therefore, quaternized chitosan can improve the encapsulation efficiency and acid and storage stabilities of nutraceutical-loaded shellac nanoparticles, providing a new insight into the application of shellac in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food.

Abstract
Luteolin suffers from drawbacks like low solubility and bioavailability, thus hindering its application in the clinic. In this study, we employed sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), an efficient tight junction opening agent, to modify the surface of luteolin nanocrystals, aiming to enhance the bioavailability of luteolin (LUT) and luteolin nanocrystals (LNC). The particle sizes of SDS-modified luteolin nanocrystals (SLNC) were slightly larger than that of LNC, and the zeta potential of LNC and SLNC was -25.0 ± 0.7 mV and -43.5 ± 0.4 mV, respectively. Both LNC and SLNC exhibited enhanced saturation solubility and high stability in the liquid state. In the cellular study, we found that SDS has cytotoxicity on caco-2 cells and could open the tight junction of the caco-2 monolayer, which could lead to an enhanced transport of luteolin across the intestinal membrane. The bioavailability of luteolin was enhanced for 1.90-fold by luteolin nanocrystals, and after modification with SDS, the bioavailability was enhanced to 3.48-fold. Our experiments demonstrated that SDS could efficiently open the tight junction and enhance the bioavailability of luteolin thereafter, revealing the construction of SDS-modified nanocrystals is a good strategy for enhancing the oral bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs like luteolin.

Abstract
Pulmonary pharmaceutical formulations are targeted for the treatment of respiratory diseases. However, their application is limited due to the physiological characteristics of the lungs, such as branching structure, mucociliary and macrophages, as well as certain properties of the drugs like particle size and solubility. Nano-formulations can ameliorate particle sizes and improve drug solubility to enhance bioavailability in the lungs. The nano-formulations for lungs reviewed in this article can be classified into nanocarriers, no-carrier-added nanosuspensions and polymer-drug conjugates. Compared with conventional inhalation preparations, these novel pulmonary pharmaceutical formulations have their own advantages, such as increasing drug solubility for better absorption and less inflammatory reaction caused by the aggregation of insoluble drugs; prolonging pulmonary retention time and reducing drug clearance; improving the patient compliance by avoiding multiple repeated administrations. This review will provide the reader with some background information for pulmonary drug delivery and give an overview of the existing literature about nano-formulations for pulmonary application to explore nano-strategies for improving the bioavailability of pulmonary pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to formulate the anticancer drug; docetaxel (DOX) as nanoparticles to enhance its biological activity. METHODOLOGY Solvent precipitation method was used to prepare DOX-loaded nanoparticles and was stabilized by different concentrations of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC, E5) and sodium deoxycholate (SDC). RESULTS The results showed that the particle size of the prepared DOX nanoparticles stabilized by SDC was small in comparison to those stabilized by the corresponding HPMC concentrations. The smallest particle size (83.97 nm) was obtained by using SDC as stabilizer at 5% level with zeta potential of -13.6 mV. It was concluded that increasing the stabilizer concentration resulted in increase in both initial and overall cumulative drug release. The release rate in case of nanoparticles stabilized by 5% SDC was 33% and 87% after 1 and 24 h respectively. The results showed that a significant reduction in the viability of FRO cells was observed at all tested time intervals in case of nanoparticles stabilized by 5% SDC at concentrations of 100 and 1000 μM/ml. In contrast, no signs of cytotoxicity was observed for nanoparticles stabilized by 5% HPMC at 10 and 100 μM/ml concentrations.

Abstract
Deacetyl mycoepoxydience (DM) nanocrystals core were stabilized by the folate modified distearoylphosphatidyl ethanolamine-polyethylene glycol (DSPE-PEG2000-FA) as the active-targeting stabilizer and D-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) as the reversion of multidrug resistance stabilizer, respectively. The DM nanocrystals was acted as the core and shelled by the polyethylene glycol-hyaluronic acid (PEG-HA). The optimal core-shell system demonstrated superior stability at 4 °C for 6 weeks by the stability study and higher dissolution velocity. Cytotoxicity in vitro and cell proliferation inhibition was evaluated by MCF-7 cells line. Furthermore, the core-shell nanocrystals revealed a concentration- and time-dependent cytotoxicity activity and enhanced the cell proliferation inhibition. Pharmacokinetic studies in rabbits showed core-shelled DM nanocrystals significantly increased AUC and t1/2 and reduced CLz compared to the DM solution for intravenous delivery. Results indicated that core-shell nanocrystals nanogel was successfully established with higher stability and the bioavailability of DM with higher safety was improved.

Abstract
Chitosan, a polyaminosaccharide obtained by alkaline deacetylation of chitin, possesses useful properties including biodegradability, biocompatibility, low toxicity, and good miscibility with other polymers. It is extensively used in many applications in biology, medicine, agriculture, environmental protection, and the food and pharmaceutical industries. The amino and hydroxyl groups present in the chitosan backbone provide positions for modifications that are influenced by factors such as the molecular weight, viscosity, and type of chitosan, as well as the reaction conditions. The modification of chitosan by chemical methods is of interest because the basic chitosan skeleton is not modified and the process results in new or improved properties of the material. Among the chitosan derivatives, cyclodextrin-grafted chitosan and poly(ethylene glycol)-grafted chitosan are excellent candidates for a range of biomedical, environmental decontamination, and industrial purposes. This work discusses modifications including chitosan with attached cyclodextrin and poly(ethylene glycol), and the main applications of these chitosan derivatives in the biomedical field.
