“…There is a number of good reviews in the literature that list the variety of nanostructured systems and preparation techniques employed in the encapsulation of EO in nanostructures systems [1,2,104], but none focused on terpenes. Among the studies listed in Table 1 and Table 2, the most widely investigated biological activities upon nanoencapsulation of essential oils and isolated terpenes were the anti-inflammatory activity of essential oils and oil resins containing terpenes, such as plai oil [93], Copaifera multijuga oil [89,97], Nigella sativa EO [78], and of the isolated terpenes triptolide [41,65,71,73], sericoside [72], thymol [10] and oleanoic and ursolic acids [53], as well as the wound healing properties of Syzygium aromaticum EO [83], Melaleuca alternifolia EO [91], triterpenes from Centella asiatica extract [85], madecassoside [105], asiaticoside [48], astragaloside IV [59], and hyperforin [11]. Also, the nanoencapsulation of the well-established taxane antineoplastic drugs paclitaxel [14] and docetaxel [13,35] were studied for topical administration.…”
