Formulation and in-vitro release study of drug loaded liposomes for treating dry eye disease by Chua, Yan Ni

“…In addition, there is a need to also ensure a controlled release of drug in order to minimise drug toxicity which may lead to side effects in the body. In this project, we will be reporting the use of liposomal drug delivery system, to encapsulate the hydrophobic drug (Senicapoc) in its hydrophobic bilayer and aim to administer this formulation as an eye drop for the management of Dry Eye Disease (DED). …”

Phytochemical analysis and cytotoxic effects of mango (Mangifera indica L) kernel on breast cancer cell lines by Abdullah, Al-Shwyeh Hussah

“…These findings suggest that M. indica kernel extract, with antiproliferative properties towards cancer cells, while relatively innocuous to normal cells, is a good candidate as an alternative to or for supplementation for current chemotherapies in the treatment of breast cancers, without showing the side-effects associated with these anticancer drugs.…”

"Meta-atomless" architecture based on an irregular continuous fabric of coupling-tuned identical nanopillars enables highly efficient and achromatic metasurfaces by Yaǧcl, H. Bilge, Demir, Hilmi Volkan

“…However, to date, a pending and fundamental problem of this approach has been the low device efficiency that such resulting metasurface components suffer, an unwanted side effect of large lattice constants that are used for preventing intercoupling of their meta-atoms. …”

Effects of ifenprodil treatment on pain behaviour, inflammation, and nociceptive responses in the spinal cord of complete freund’s adjuvant-induced chronic polyarthritis rat by Noh, Ain’ Sabreena Mohd

“…This study aimed to investigate the effect of Ifenprodil as a selective NMDAR-2B antagonist on pain behaviour, inflammation, and nociceptive responses in the spinal cord of CFA-induced polyarthritis, as well as its possible side effect on memory function. Arthritic rats received intrathecal treatment of either Ifenprodil (0.5 or 1.0 μg/μL) or Sodium Diclofenac (6 μg) (positive control) whereas arthritic (A) and non-arthritic (C) control groups were administered with 0.9% normal saline for 7 days (day-16 to -22 post-arthritic induction). …”
