Background And Objectives: is the second most common species causing infectious diseases and can lead to biofilm resistance. This study aims to adjust and synthesize a liposomal compound of and evaluate its antifungal properties against isolates.
Materials And Methods: The liposomal formulation of was optimized through the utilization of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), particle size analysis, zeta potential measurement, and UV-visible spectrophotometry. Furthermore, an MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay was conducted on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The antifungal efficacy was evaluated in accordance with the M27-A3 guideline.
Results: The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of oil and the liposomal formulation on isolates ranged from 128 to 8 µg/mL and from 250 to 31.25 µg/mL, respectively. The MIC and MIC values of oil and the liposomal formulation were 125, 187, and 32, 96 µg/mL, respectively. The viability percentage of cells treated with the liposomal formulation and free oil was 91% and 85%, respectively.
Conclusion: The cytotoxicity of free was significantly reduced when using nanoliposomes. The liposomal form of showed greater antifungal properties compared to the free extract against isolates.

Artemisinin, a natural compound derived from Artemisia annua, has significantly impacted the treatment of malaria and has shown promise in various other therapeutic applications. This review explores the molecular structure of artemisinin and its derivatives, as well as advancements in synthetic and semi-synthetic production methods, and their broader therapeutic effects beyond malaria, including potential uses in cancer, neurological disorders, and viral infections. It also discusses contemporary drug delivery innovations, such as nanoparticles and liposomal systems, which aim to enhance the bioavailability and targeted action of artemisinin, while addressing issues of drug resistance, particularly in parasitic diseases like malaria.

Phospholipid-derived nanocarriers represent a versatile and chemically customizable class of drug delivery systems that self-assemble into bilayered vesicles due to their intrinsic amphiphilicity. These systems can encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs through non-covalent interactions and manipulation of lipid phase behavior. This review examines the molecular and supramolecular principles underlying the formation, stability, and functional performance of key phospholipid-based nanocarriers-including liposomes, transferosomes, ethosomes, invasomes, phytosomes, pharmacosomes, and virosomes.

Gum Arabic (GA), a naturally occurring polysaccharide, has emerged as a promising biomaterial for drug delivery systems (DDS) due to its high water solubility, emulsifying capacity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Its structural richness in arabinogalactan facilitates strong interactions with biomolecules, enabling the development of various drug formulations including hydrogels, nanoparticles, liposomes, and emulsions. GA-based DDS have demonstrated significant potential in enhancing the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs, protecting bioactive compounds from degradation, and enabling sustained and controlled drug release.

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with limited curative options, particularly in advanced stages. Lipid-based nanocarriers, including liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), and lipid nanocapsules (LNCs), have emerged as promising drug delivery platforms owing to their biocompatibility, versatility, and potential for pulmonary administration. This review highlights recent advances in lipid nanocarriers for lung cancer therapy, with a particular focus on NLCs and LNCs.
