The soy protein isolate (SPI) was combined with tea saponin as an emulsifier to prepare camellia oil nanoemulsion, and the stability of camellia oil nanoemulsion was compared with that of soybean protein isolate or tea saponin as emulsifier. The effects of different pH, ionic strength, heating temperature and storage time on the average particle size, ξ-potential and microstructure of camellia oil nanoemulsion prepared by three emulsifiers were studied. The results showed that the nanoemulsions prepared by combining natural emulsifiers (SPI-TS) in the pH range of 5-9 were stable and remained stable in the range of 0-300mm NaCl concentration, but had poor tolerance to high salt environment. After heating at different temperatures (30 °C-90 °C) for 30min, the average particle size, ξ-potential and microstructure of the three emulsions did not change significantly, showing good heating stability. At different storage temperatures (4, 25, 50°C) SPI-TS and TS emulsion could exist stably about four weeks, and had good storage stability. In addition, we performed in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion studies on the digestive properties of camellia oil nanoemulsions. The results showed that the particle size, the ξ-potential of the nanoemulsion changes depend on the type of emulsifier during digestion. The release rate of free fat acids (FFAs) of nanoemulsions after gastrointestinal digestion were all higher than that of the control group. The results showed that the nanoemulsion delivery system could effectively improve the digestion of camellia oil, It was important to improve the bioavailability of camellia oil.

The interaction of soy protein isolate (SPI) and its hydrolysates (SPIHs) with cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) at pH 7.0 were investigated to clarify the changes in the antioxidant capacity of their complexes. The results of intrinsic fluorescence revealed that C3G binds to SPI/SPIHs mainly through hydrophobic interaction, and the binding affinity of SPI was stronger than that of SPIHs. Circular dichroism and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analyses revealed that the interaction with C3G did not significantly change the secondary structures of SPI/SPIHs, while the surface hydrophobicity and average particle size of proteins decreased. Furthermore, the SPI/SPIHs-C3G interaction induced an antagonistic effect on the antioxidant capacity (ABTS and DPPH) of the complex system, with the masking effect on the ABTS scavenging capacity of the SPIHs-C3G complexes being lower than that of the SPI-C3G complexes. This study contributes to the design and development of functional beverages that are rich in hydrolysates and anthocyanins.

For improving solubility and bioaccessibility of phytosterols (PS), phytosterol nanoparticles (PNPs) were prepared by emulsification–evaporation combined high-pressure homogenization method. The organic phase was formed with the dissolved PS and soybean lecithin (SL) in anhydrous ethanol, then mixed with soy protein isolate (SPI) solution, and homogenized into nanoparticles, followed by the evaporation of ethanol. The optimum fabrication conditions were determined as PS (1%, w/v): SL of 1:4, SPI content of 0.75% (w/v), and ethanol volume of 16 ml. PNPs were characterized to have average particle size 93.35 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) 0.179, zeta potential −29.3 mV, and encapsulation efficiency (EE) 97.3%. The impact of temperature, pH, and ionic strength on the stability of fabricated PNPs was determined. After 3-h in vitro digestion, the bioaccessibility of PS in nanoparticles reached 70.8%, significantly higher than the 18.2% of raw PS. Upon freeze-drying, the particle size of PNPs increased to 199.1 nm, resulting in a bimodal distribution. The solubility of PS in water could reach up to 2.122 mg/ml, ~155 times higher than that of raw PS. Therefore, this study contributes to the development of functional PS-food ingredients.

This study was carried out to prepare and characterize domperidone nanoparticles to enhance solubility and the release rate. Domperidone is practically insoluble in water and has low and an erratic bioavailability range from 13%-17%. The domperidone nanoparticles were prepared by solvent/antisolvent precipitation method at different polymer:drug ratios of 1:1 and 2:1 using different polymers and grades of poly vinyl pyrolidone, hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as stabilizers. The effect of polymer type, ratio of polymer:drug, solvent:antisolvent ratio, stirring rate and stirring time on the particle size, were investigated and found to have a significant (p? 0.05) effect on particle size. The best formula was obtained with lowest average particle size of 84.05. This formula was studied for compatibility by FTIR and DSC, surface morphology by FESEM and crystalline state by XRPD. Then domperidone nanoparticles were formulated into a simple capsule dosage form in order to study of the in vitro release of drug from nanoparticles in comparison raw drug and mixture of polymer:drug ratios of 2:1. The release of domperidone from best formula was highly improved with a significant (p? 0.05) increase.

Background: There is an increasing commercial demand for nanoparticles due to their wide applicability in various areas such as chemistry, catalysis, energy and medicine. Metallic nanoparticles are traditionally synthesized by wet chemical techniques where the chemicals used are quite often toxic and flammable. Objective: In the present study, we described a simple, cost effective and environmentally-friendly technique for green synthesis of silver and iron nanoparticles by using the aqueous extract of leafy vegetable Amaranthus viridis as a reducing agent. Methods: The silver and Iron nanoparticles (Av-AgNPs, Av-IONPs) were characterized by different spectral methods. The surface Plasmon resonance spectrums of Av-AgNPs, Av-IONPs were recorded at 422nm and 261nm. The Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis reveals that the Av-AgNPs, Av-IONPs are roughly spherical in shape. Energy dispersive absorption spectroscopy (EDAX) of biosynthesized Av-AgNPs, Av-IONPs indicates the reduction of silver ions to elemental silver and iron ions to elemental iron. Results: The particle size analysis of Av-AgNPs and Av-IONPs was carried out by Dynamic light scattering (DLS) method the results reveal that both Av-AgNPs and Av-IONPs were polydispered in nature. The average particle size of Av-AgNPs is 55.8 nm with a polydispered index (PI) of 0.297, similarly the average particle size of Av-IONPs is 80.6 nm with an polydispered index (PI) of 0.469. Zeta-potential of Av-AgNPs was detected at -24.6 mV and Av-IONPs were detected at 28.8 mV, the result reveals that they high stability due their high negative charge and positive charge respectively. The dual synthesized Av-AgNPs, Av-IONPs exhibits excellent antioxidant activity by DPPH, H2O2 and NO methods. DPPH was proven to be the best when compared with the other two methods. The biosynthesized Av-AgNPs, Av-IONPs proved to have very good antimicrobial activity against gram +ve and gram –ve bacteria. Conclusion: when compared with standard antibiotic. There were several reports on green synthesis of metal nanoparticles using various plant parts, but here edible leafy vegetable Amaranthus viridis was used for biosynthesis of both Av-AgNPs and Av-IONPs.

With the increasing incidence and recurrence rate of urinary calculi, urinary calculi have become a serious health risk, and the research on urinary calculi has become the focus of public attention. At present, the research results on the formation mechanism of urinary calculi are not ideal, and there is no unified conclusion. In order to further study the influencing factors of the formation of urinary calculi and provide new ideas for the prevention and clinical treatment of urinary calculi, the influence of agglomeration of nanochemical microcrystals in urine on urinary calculi was studied in this paper. In this study, fresh morning urine was collected from 10 urological stone patients and 10 healthy controls without urological stone in the urology department of a hospital. After processing the experimental specimens, we first use flame atomic absorption spectrometry and alcian blue colorimetric method to detect the content of Ca2+ and citrate in the urine and then use the nanoparticle size analyzer to detect the microcrystals in the urine. Diameter, distribution, degree of aggregation and potential, and finally HRTEM observation to observe the morphology, chemical composition, and element composition of the nanocrystals. The results showed that the content of Ca2+ and lemon hydrochloric acid in the urine of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group. The particle size of the nanocrystals increased with the increase in the pore size of the membrane. The average particle size of the experimental group increased gradually from 163 ± 31 nm to 3219 ± 863 nm, while the average particle size of the control group increased from 183 ± 65 nm to 997 ± 522 nm. The mean value of the potential decreased with the increase in the pore size of the filter membrane. The change amplitude of the experimental group was 6.57 mV, while the change amplitude of the control group was only 1.75 mV. In the composition of nanocrystals, element O accounts for the most, accounting for 42.54% of all elements. This indicates that the aggregation of nanocrystals in urine will lead to the rapid increase in the size of nanocrystals, which will eventually lead to the formation of stones.

Polymerized polypeptide nanomicelles have attracted much attention as novel drug carriers because of their good biocompatibility and degradability. To prepare doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded nanomicelles, an amphiphilic peptide, FFHFFH-KKGRGD (P12), was synthesized by solid-phase synthesis, and the physicochemical and drug-release properties, as well as the cytotoxicity of the nanomicelles, were evaluated in vitro. The P12-DOX polymer micelles were prepared by dialysis. The morphology and particle size were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the polymer was determined by the probe method, and the drug-release characteristics of the micelles were studied by dynamic dialysis. The cytotoxicity and uptake of the P12-DOX micelles were evaluated against mouse breast cancer cells (4T1) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The peptide polymer micelles containing DOX were uniformly sized and had a spherical core–shell structure with an average particle size of 128.6 nm. The CMC of the polymer was low (0.0357 mg/mL). The in vitro release of DOX from the micelles is slow and is consistent with first-order kinetics. The copolymer micelles of the P12 polypeptide and DOX can be used as nanoscale spherical carriers of hydrophobic drugs and have broad applicability.

Objective: Paeonol is a phenolic compounce that is volatile. In order to decrease its volatility and achieve controlled release, paeonol-loaded liposome in carbomer hydrogel was prepared by coating with soybean phospholipid via ethanol injection method and then added into the carbomer hydrogel. Methods: The quality of paeonol-loaded liposome in carbomer hydrogel was evaluated by the degree of roundness, particle size distribution, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency (filtration method and chitosan neutralization method), viscosity, infrared spectrum, etc. Furthermore, the diffusion from paeonolloaded liposome in hydrogel was studied in vitro. Results: The results showed that the average particle size of paeonol-loaded liposome was about 401 nm, the potential was -17.8 mV, and the entrapment efficiency was above 45%. The viscosity of paeonol- loaded liposome in hydrogel was 23.972×10-3 Pa*s, and the diffusion rate from paeonol-loaded liposome in hydrogel in vitro was obviously slower than that from the other paeonol preparations. Conclusion: The conclusions could be drawn that paeonol-loaded liposome in hydrogel was a kind of novel preparation, and its diffusion in vitro had obvious controlled-release characteristics, which further proved that it might improve the bioavailability of paeonol.

Poor water solubility and slow dissolution rate are major issues for the majority of upcoming and existing biologically active pharmaceutical compounds. Nateglinide is Biopharmaceutical Classification System Class-II drug that has low solubility and high permeability. The purpose of the present study was to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of Nateglinide by the preparation of nanosuspension by the nanoprecipitation technique. Nateglinide nanosuspension was evaluated for its particle size, in vitro dissolution study, and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. The optimized formulation showed an average particle size of 207 nm and zeta potential of -25.8 mV. The rate of dissolution of the optimized nanosuspension was enhanced by 83% in 50 min relative to micronized suspension of nateglinide (37% in 50 min). This improvement was mainly due to the formulation of nanosized particles of Nateglinide. Stability study revealed that nanosuspension was more stable at room temperature and refrigerator condition with no significant change in particle size distribution. These results indicate that the nateglinide loaded nanosuspension may significantly improve in vitro dissolution rate and thereby possibly enhance the onset of therapeutic effect.
