Niosomes, liposomes and proniosomes are the most abundantly used vesicular systems for the transdermal delivery of drugs. Proniosomes are nonhydrated niosomes, which, upon hydration, form niosomes. Various researches have proved the advantages of proniosomes over the other conventional dosage forms currently available in the market. Proniosomes overcome physical stability problems involved with other vesicular systems such as leaking, fusion and aggregation. The stability and shelf life of proniosomes especially have been found to be much better and prolonged in comparison to other vesicular systems such as liposomes. The present review has been written in an effort to bring yet another viewpoint from a different angle and curated to compile the latest updates in this highly attractive delivery system from today’s research point.

This study was aimed at exploring the regulatory mechanism of auclear-targeted pshHIF-1α nano-drug carrier system (NPNCS) in the treatment of breast cancer in rats. MDA-MB-231 cell was cultured and DJ-1 and PTEN mRNA level was detected by qRT-PCR along with analysis of cell viability by CCK-8 and apoptosis by means of flow cytometry. The rats were assigned into control group, nuclear-targeted pshHIF-1α nanopharmaceutical system treatment group, and nuclear-targeted pshHIF-1α nano-pharmaceutical system+PTEN inhibitor SF1670 group, followed by analysis of cell proliferation by EdU staining, cell apoptosis by flow cytometry, and the levels of DJ-1, PTEN, and p-AKT. Compared with MDA-MB-231 cells treated with NPNCS, cells without intervention showed decreased PTEN and increased DJ-1 level. NPNCS induced cell apoptosis. Administration of nuclear-targeted pshHIF-1α nano-drug delivery system down-regulated DJ-1 and up-regulated PTEN. Combined treatment with SF1670 promoted p-AKT level and decreased the inhibitory effect of NPNCS on p-AKT level. In conclusion, the nuclear-targeted pshHIF-1α nano-drug delivery system down-regulated DJ-1 and exerted a tumor suppressor and pro-apoptotic effect, which wasrelated to p-AKT phosphorylation and up-regulation of PTEN.

Despite the interesting chemopreventive, antioxidant and antiangiogenic effects of the natural bioflavonoid genistein (GEN), its low aqueous solubility and bioavailability make it necessary to administer it using a suitable drug carrier system.

ABSTRACTMnO nanoparticles were conjugated to single stranded DNA (ssDNA), Cytosin-phosphatidyl-Guanosin oligonucleotide (CpG ODN) to detect and activate Toll-like (TLR9) receptors in cells and to follow nanoparticle cellular trafficking by different means of imaging while at the same time serving as a drug carrier system. By virtue of their magnetic properties these nanoparticles may serve as vehicles for the transport of target molecules into cells, while the fluorescent target ligand allows optical detection simultaneously.x
