The concept of going ‘green’ and ‘cold’ has led to utilizing renewable resources for the synthesis of microbial biosurfactants that are both patient and eco-friendly. In this review, we shed light on the potential and regulatory aspects of biosurfactants in pharmaceutical applications and how they can significantly contribute to novel concepts for the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine and future treatment. We emphasize that more specific guidelines should be formulated to regulate the approval of biosurfactants for human use. It is also crucial to implement a risk-based approach from the early research and development (R&D) phase in addition to establishing more robust standardized techniques and assays to evaluate the characteristics of biosurfactants. 相似文献

With the advent of advanced tools in molecular biology, understanding on cancer etiology has improved. siRNA can be considered as an effective tool in cancer therapy through silencing overexpressed genes responsible for cell proliferation or preventing apoptosis. However, some contentious issues such as stability and delivery of siRNA are to be resolved. Bcl-2, an anti-apoptotic gene, is overexpressed in a wide variety of cancers and responsible for drug resistance tumors. In our earlier studies, we developed a nanoformulation of siRNA targeting the Bcl-2 and achieved successful delivery in vitro and in vivo. To extend the scope of the study further, in the present work, we studied the role of nanoformulation of siRNA as adjuvant in chemotherapy with cisplatin. Dose dependant nephrotoxicity is a serious concern apart from other adverse effects of cisplatin. The IC50 value for cisplatin was decreased from 9.83 μmol/l to 7.43 μmol/l in HeLa cells and from 8.54 μmol/l to 6.68 μmol/l in HEp-2 cells, when it was given with siRNA nanoformulation. Cisplatin at the dose of 1.7 mg/kg in combination with siRNA nanoformulation was effective in improving the lifespan of tumor bearing mice with significant decrease in nephrotoxicity. 相似文献

The diterpenoid molecule paclitaxel (PTX), extracted from the Western yew tree, Taxus brevifolia, is a promising anticancer drug specifically in clinical use for ovarian and breast cancers. However, its wider use is hampered by adverse effects and emerging resistance in cancer cells. Micelles, liposomes, cubosomes, and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have the potential to reduce or even remove complications associated with the use of PTX. Herein, we provide an overview of micro- and nanoformulations of PTX based on micelles, liposomes, cubosomes and LNPs to improve the therapeutic effects of this drug both in vitro and in vivo. 相似文献
