Abstract
Schistosomiasis is one of the neglected tropical diseases that affect millions of people worldwide. Globally, it affects economically poor countries, typically due to a lack of proper sanitation systems, and poor hygiene conditions. Currently, no vaccine is available against schistosomiasis, and the preferred treatment is chemotherapy with the use of praziquantel. It is a common anti-schistosomal drug used against all known species of Schistosoma. To date, current treatment primarily the drug praziquantel has not been effective in treating Schistosoma species in their early stages. The drug of choice offers low bioavailability, water solubility, and fast metabolism. Globally drug resistance has been documented due to overuse of praziquantel, Parasite mutations, poor treatment compliance, co-infection with other strains of parasites, and overall parasitic load. The existing diagnostic methods have very little acceptability and are not readily applied for quick diagnosis. This review aims to summarize the use of nanotechnology in the treatment, diagnosis, and prevention. It also explored safe and effective substitute approaches against parasitosis. At this stage, various nanomaterials are being used in drug delivery systems, diagnostic kits, and vaccine production. Nanotechnology is one of the modern and innovative methods to treat and diagnose several human diseases, particularly those caused by parasite infections. Herein we highlight the current advancement and application of nanotechnological approaches regarding the treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of schistosomiasis.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major health-related issues affecting the population worldwide and subsequently accounts for the second-largest death. Genetic and epigenetic modifications in oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes affect the regulatory systems that lead to the initiation and progression of cancer. Conventional methods, including chemotherapy/radiotherapy/appropriate combinational therapy and surgery, are being widely used for theranostics of cancer patients. Surgery is useful in treating localized tumors, but it is ineffective in treating metastatic tumors, which spread to other organs and result in a high recurrence rate and death. Also, the therapeutic application of free drugs is related to substantial issues such as poor absorption, solubility, bioavailability, high degradation rate, short shelf-life, and low therapeutic index. Therefore, these issues can be sorted out using nano lipid-based carriers (NLBCs) as promising drug delivery carriers. Still, at most, they fail to achieve site targeted drug delivery and detection. This can be achieved by selecting a specific ligand/antibody for its cognate receptor molecule expressed on the surface of cancer cell. In this review, we have mainly discussed the various types of ligands used to decorate NLBCs. A list of the ligands used to design nanocarriers to target malignant cells has been extensively undertaken. The approved ligand decorated lipid-based nanomedicines with their clinical status has been explained in tabulated form to provide a wider scope to the readers regarding ligand coupled NLBCs.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR), a natural polyphenolic compound extracted from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa, is used as a pharmaceutical agent, spice in food, and as a dye. Currently, CUR is being investigated for cancer treatment in Phase-II clinical trials. CUR also possesses excellent activities like anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-oxidant, therefore quality control is crucial. The present research work was to develop a new, simple, validated and time-saving rapid 96-well plate spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of CUR. The developed method was compared with routinely used high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique. The developed method were found to be linear in the concentration range of 15 to 3900 ng/mL with R2 ≥ 0.9983 for spectrofluorimetric and 50-7500 ng/mL with R2 ≥ 0.9999 for HPLC method. Accuracy, intraday and interday precision was adequate, with RSD lower than the suggested limits. The limits for the detection and the quantification of CUR were 7 and 15 ng/mL for spectrofluorimetric, and 25 and 50 ng/mL for HPLC respectively. The Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated the similarities between the two methods. The 96-well plate method was successfully applied to determine CUR in solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and chitosan nanoparticles (Chi-NPs). The developed spectrofluorimetric method can hence serve as a possible replacement for the HPLC method for the quantification of CUR in healthcare and food products.

Abstract
The study aimed to synthesize Satureja khuzistanica essential oil-loaded SLN nanoparticles and to modify the surface of nanoparticles with folate-bound chitosan (SEO-SCF-NPs), and finally to investigate the effects of its toxicity and pro-apoptosis. For this purpose, the SEO-SLN nanoparticles were prepared using stearic acid, lecithin, tween 80, and water by high-pressure homogenization method. After characterization by FTIR, SEM, DLS, and ZETA potential methods, its toxicity effect against normal (HFF) and cancer (MCF-7) cells were evaluated by MTT assay. The occurrence of apoptosis in MCF-7 cells was assessed by flow cytometry and molecular analysis. The obtained results revealed the formation of round nanoparticles with a size of 279.40 nm, single dispersed (PDI: 0.3) and stable (ζ–potential: +31.69 mV). SEO-SCF-NPs indicated the effect of selective toxicity against MCF-7 cells (IC50: 88 μg/ml). Molecular analysis showed that SEO-SCF-NPs could inhibit cancer cells by activating the internal pathway of apoptosis as well as cell cycle disruption. Our finding suggests that SEO-SCF-NPs is a suitable candidate for preclinical cancer studies.

Abstract
Pain is a noxious stimulus caused due to tissue damage and varies from mild to severe. Nalbuphine (NLB) is an approved, inexpensive, non-controlled, opioid agonist/antagonist analgesic used worldwide in various clinical settings for pain management. The current study aims to formulate NLB loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) using solvent injection technology. The morphological and chemical structure of the developed SLNs were characterized using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The results revealed from the point prediction confirmation in design expert software was the formulation of NLB-SLNs with an average particle size of (170.07 ± 25.1 nm), encapsulation efficiency (93.6 ± 1.5%) & loading capacity of 26.67%. The in-vitro permeation of developed NLB-SLNs was observed to be 94.18% at 8 h when compared with NLB solution whose maximum permeation was seen within 3 h of application. Efficacy of the formulation was also evaluated using eddy's hot plate method, where the onset of action started within 10 min of administration, and the maximum effect was observed at 1 h. The NLB-SLNs was screened for cytotoxicity in human embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293), and the dosage was considered safe when administered intranasally in animal since no detectable effect to the brain was observed. Biodistribution and gamma scintigraphy study of NLB-SLNs showed the prepared formulation reaching the target site, i.e. brain and was retained. Conclusively, the prepared NLB-SLNs formulation was safe and effective in producing an analgesic effect in vivo.

Abstract
In recent years, the demand for nutritive, functional and healthy foods has increased. This trend has induced the food industry to investigate novel technologies able to produce ingredients with enhanced functional and physicochemical properties. Among these technologies, one of the most promising is the encapsulation based on supercritical fluids. Thanks to the inherent absence of organic solvent, the low temperature of the process to reach a supercritical state and the capacity to dissolve lipid soluble bioactives, the encapsulation with supercritical carbon dioxide represents a green technology to produce several functional ingredients, with enhanced stability, high load and tailored protection from environmental factors. Furthermore, from the fine-tuning of the process parameters like temperature, pressure and flow rate, the resulting functional ingredient can be easily designed to tailor the controlled release of the bioactive, or to reach specific levels of taste, odor and color. Accordingly, the aim of the present review is to summarize the state of the art of the techniques based on supercritical carbon dioxide for the encapsulation of bioactive compounds of food interest. Pros and cons of such techniques will be highlighted, giving emphasis to their innovative aspects that could be of interest to the food industry.

Abstract
Controllable molecular release from delivery vehicles is essential to successfully reduce drug toxicity and improve therapeutic efficacy. Light-powered hydrophobic molecular motors were therefore incorporated in liposomes to use molecular rotation to facilitate on-demand release. The extent of the release was precisely controlled by irradiation times, providing a simple yet sophisticated responsive molecular nanocarrier.

Abstract
Biofilm mediated bacterial infections are the key factors in the progression of infectious diseases due to the evolution of antimicrobial resistance. Traditional therapy involving antibiotics is not adequate enough for treatment of such infections due to the increased resistance triggered by biofilm. To overcome this challenge, we developed anacardic acid (Ana) loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), further coated with chitosan and DNase (Ana-SLNs-CH-DNase). The DNase coating was hypothesized to degrade the e-DNA, while chitosan was coated to yield positively charged SLNs with additional adhesion to biofilms. The SLNs were developed using homogenization method and further evaluated for particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency. Drug excipient compatibility was confirmed by using FT-IR study, while encapsulation of Ana in SLNs was confirmed by X-ray diffraction study. The SLNs demonstrated sustained release for up to 24 h and excellent stability at room temperature for up to 3 months. The developed SLNs were found non-toxic against human immortalized keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells while demonstrated remarkably higher antimicrobial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus. Excellent effect of the developed SLNs on minimum biofilm inhibition concentration and minimum biofilm eradication concentration further confirmed the superiority of the developed formulation strategy. A significant (p < 0.05) reduction in biofilm thickness and biomass, as confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscopy, was observed in the case of developed SLNs in comparison with control. Cumulatively, the results suggest the enhanced efficacy of the developed formulation strategy to overcome the biofilm-mediated antimicrobial resistance. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Curcumin and resveratrol are natural compounds with significant anticancer activity; however, their bioavailability is limited due to poor solubility. This study aimed to overcome the solubility problem by means of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN). 2-Hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) was selected from a range of polymers based on miscibility and molecular interactions. SLNs were obtained by probe sonication and freeze-drying curcumin-resveratrol with/without HPβCD incorporated in gelucire 50/13. SLNs were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and physical stability. The in vitro release of drugs from the SLNs was performed by the direct dispersion method and analyzed using a validated UV-visible method. In vitro efficacy was tested using a colorectal cancer cell line. Curcumin-resveratrol-gelucire 50/13-HPβCD (CRG-CD) and curcumin-resveratrol-gelucire 50/13(CRG) SLNs showed a particle size from 100 to 150 nm and were not in the crystalline state per PXRD results. MDSC results complimented PXRD results by the absence of melting endotherm of curcumin; TGA showed no weight loss, confirming the absence of organic solvent residual, and the shape of the SLNs was confirmed as spherical by SEM. CRG SLNs were stable for 21 days with respect to particle size and zeta potential. MTT assay indicated better IC50 value for CRG as compared to CRG-CD. Hence, novel SLNs of curcumin and resveratrol incorporated in gelucire 50/13 and HPβCD were prepared and characterized to improve their bioavailability and anticancer activity.

Abstract
Solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN) delivery systems have a wide applicability in the delivery of phyto-bioactive compounds to treat various chronic diseases, including diabetes, cancer, obesity and neurodegenerative diseases. The multiple benefits of SLN delivery include improved stability, smaller particle size, leaching prevention and enhanced lymphatic uptake of the bioactive compounds through oral delivery. However, the burst release makes the SLN delivery systems inadequate for the oral delivery of various phyto-bioactive compounds that can treat such chronic diseases. Recently, the surface-modified SLN (SMSLN) was observed to overcome this limitation for oral delivery of phyto-bioactive compounds, and there is growing evidence of an enhanced uptake of curcumin delivered orally via SMSLNs in the brain. This review focuses on different SLN and SMSLN systems that are useful for oral delivery of phyto-bioactive compounds to treat various chronic diseases.
