Abstract
Beta cyclodextrin (β-CD) based nanosponges were synthesized and paclitaxel inclusion complex with nanosponges were prepared using techniques of inclusion complex formation. The paclitaxel nanosponges complexes were evaluated for their release. The nanosponges complexes were also evaluated using DSC, FTIR, and NMR techniques for confirmation of inclusion complex formation between paclitaxel and nanosponges. Particle size and morphology of paclitaxel nanosponges complex were estimated using SEM, TEM and dynamic light scattering techniques. The particle sizes were found out to be in range of 400 to 600 nm. Cytotoxic efficacy of paclitaxel nanosponge complex was determined against MCF-7 cells and paclitaxel nanosponges complex was found to be cytotoxic and more effective against this cell line.

Advances of natural products, bio-actives and novel drug delivery system against emerging viral infections
Due to the increasing prevalence of viral infections and the ability of these human pathogens to develop resistance to current treatment strategies, there is a great need to find and develop new compounds to combat them. These molecules must have low toxicity, specific activity and high bioavailability. The most suitable ...read more
Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
