Phytochemical/Synthetic Nanoformulations in Combating HD and MS

Disease Component Nano Vehicle/Method Study Types Results References
HD Phytochemicals Nanoformulations
Curcumin SLN In vivo: female Wistar Rats ↑bioavailability, ↑GSH, ↑SOD [211]
Rosmarinic acid SLN In vitro/in vivo: Wistar rat ↓3-NP-induced impairments, ↓oxidative stress through ↑GSH and CAT, ↑brain medication concentration [213]
MS Nanoformulations of Synthetics Drugs
Dimethyl fumarate Nanocarriers In vivo: Laca mice ↓dosage frequency [215]
SLN In vitro: SH-SY5Y cells; In vivo: Wistar rats ↑bioavailability, ↑biological residence, ↑brain absorption [216]
SLN In vitro: mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells; In vivo: Male, athymic mice ↑permeability values and brain absorption [217]

Abbreviations: ↑, increase or upregulation; ↓, decrease or downregulation; 3-NP, 3-nitropropionic-acid; CAT, catalase; GSH, glutathione; HD, Huntington’s disease; MS, multiple sclerosis; NP, nanoparticles; SLNs, solid lipid nanoparticles; SOD, superoxide dismutase.
