The intention of this study was to prepare zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO‐NPs) via bottom‐up approach and evaluate their physiochemical, antimicrobial and anticancer properties. ZnO‐NPs were first prepared by the direct precipitation method with zinc sulphate heptahydrate, followed by characterization tests using sophisticated analytical and imaging instruments. Upon characterization, ZnO‐NPs were studied for their antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as well as their anticancer activity against breast cancer cell line (MDA‐MB 231). The ZnO‐NPs possessed a mean particle diameter of 225.2 nm and a zeta potential of −15.8 mV. A sharp absorption peak of ZnO was recorded at 354 nm via UV‐Visible spectroscopy. Hexagonal wurtzite shape of ZnO‐NPs has been observed and confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X‐Ray diffraction (XRD). ZnO‐NPs exhibited excellent antimicrobial activity against the Gram‐positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus. In an in vitro cell cytotoxicity study, ZnO‐NPs showed a dose‐dependent relationship against MDA‐MB 231 breast cancer cells. It was observed that as the concentration of ZnO‐NPs increased (0.25 μg to 35 μg), there was a sharp reduction in the proliferation rate of the cancer cell line. Overall, our study reported successful synthesis of ZnO‐NPs, which can be efficient antibacterial and anticancer agents.

In this study, pEGFP-LUC was used as a model plasmid and three distinct cationic lipids (dioleyloxy-propyl-trimethylammonium chloride [DOTMA], dioleoyl trimethylammonium propane [DOTAP], and cetylpyridinium chloride [CPC]) were tested along with PEG 5000, as a nonionic surfactant, to prepare glyceryl monostearate (GMS)-based cationic solid lipid nanoparticles (cSLNs). Both the type and quantity of surfactant had an impact on the physicochemical characteristics of the cSLNs. Thermal analysis of the greater part of the endothermic peaks of the cSLNs revealed they were noticeably different from the individual pure compounds based on their zeta potential (ZP ranging from +17 to +56 mV) and particle size (PS ranging from 185 to 244 nm). The addition of cationic surfactants was required to produce nanoparticles (NPs) with a positive surface charge. This suggested that the surfactants and extensive entanglement of the lipid matrix GMS provided support for the behavioral diversity of the cSLNs and their capacity to interface with the plasmid DNA. Additionally, hemolytic assays were used to show that the cSLNs were biocompatible with the human colon cancer HCT-116 and human bronchial epithelial 16-HBE cell lines. The DOTMA 6-based cSLN was selected as the lead cSLN for further ex vivo and in vivo investigations. Taken together, these new findings might provide some guidance in selecting surfactants to prepare extremely efficient and non-toxic cSLN-based therapeutic delivery systems (e.g., gene therapy).

Transferosomes are one of the vesicular carriers that have received extensive research and attention recently because of their capacity to get beyond the barriers posed by the stratum corneum to penetration. The intent of the current study is to optimize and evaluate proanthocyanidin (PAC) containing transferosomal transdermal gels. PAC-containing transferosomes were prepared using the film hydration method and then loaded into a 4% methylcellulose gel. A 23 Box–Behnken design was used to optimize the PAC-loaded transferosomal gel, where the effects of phospholipid 90 G (X1), Tween 80 (X2), and sonication time (X3) were evaluated. The formulation factors, such as the drug entrapment efficiency percentage (PEE) and in vitro drug release, were characterized. A PEE of 78.29 ± 1.43% and a drug release in vitro at 6 h of 24.2 ± 1.25% were obtained. The optimized transferosomal-loaded proanthocyanidin (OTP) formulation penetrated the porcine skin at an excellent rate (0.123 ± 0.0067 mg/cm2/h). Stability tests were conducted for OTP to predict the effects of various temperature conditions on the physical appearance, drug content, and PEE for periods of 15, 30, and 45 days. Finally, this transferosomal system for transdermal PAC delivery may be a suitable alternative to the conventional treatment for osteoarthritis.
