The primary drivers of this expansion are cyclodextrin-based porous nanoparticles or distinctive nanosponges, which have lately been applied in the pharmaceutical, biomedical, and cosmetic industries. This superior technology can circumvent the defects of current techniques through its ability to attack and visualize tumor sites. The organization of this review article is such that we first looked at the distinctive characteristics of these nanosponges and the various synthesizing techniques, then about the drug loading and release principle and applications based on drug delivery, targeting, increasing the solubility of BCS Class II and IV drugs, other applications in biomedicine, and more. The most recent developments on the employment of biomimetic nanosponge as a pandemic tool because of the SARS-CoV-2 virus briefly align. Due to several significant limitations, effective targeted drug delivery systems have long been an aspiration. These issues might be resolved by the creation of new colloidal carriers termed Nanosponges.","PeriodicalId":8545,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research in Pharmaceutical Science","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135236981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various medicinal activities are identified on basis of traditional knowledge. This research article enlightens the physicochemical characters, comparative successive solvent extraction, and qualitative phytochemical screening of various extracts of Cassia fistula L. roots. The present study aims to compare successive solvent extraction (maceration and soxhlation) for the estimation of yield and qualitative phytochemical screening of extracts obtained through both extractions. Two methods of successive solvent extraction were done, i.e., maceration and soxhlation using solvents of increasing polarity such as petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol, and distilled water. The phytochemical tests were carried out for each extract using standard methods of analysis and these investigations. The yields of extract were calculated as %w/w in all five solvents. Comparison of extraction methods helps to determine which method gives the maximum yield of extraction and preliminary phytochemical studies help to find out the secondary metabolites present in the extracts from both methods and compare the results.","PeriodicalId":8545,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research in Pharmaceutical Science","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135236986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One solution is to utilize microneedles (MNs), which are capable of painlessly traversing through the stratum corneum and directly translocating protein drugs into the systematic circulation. This strategy involves the use of micron sized needles fabricated from different materials and using different geometries to create transient aqueous conduits across the skin. Microneedles in isolation, or in combination with other enhancing strategies, have been shown to dramatically enhance the skin permeability of numerous therapeutic molecules including biopharmaceuticals either in vitro, ex vivo or in vivo. MNs can be designed to incorporate appropriate structural materials as well as therapeutics or formulations with tailored physicochemical properties. This platform technique has been applied to deliver drugs both locally and systemically in applications ranging from vaccination to diabetes and cancer therap. As an alternative to hypodermic needles, coated polymer microneedles (MNs) are able to deliver drugs to subcutaneous tissues after being inserted into the skin. The dip-coating process is a versatile, rapid fabricating method that can form coated MNs in a short time. However, it is still a challenge to fabricate coated MNs with homogeneous and precise drug doses in the dip-coating process. This review article focuses on recent and potential future developments in microneedle technologies. This will include the detailing of progress made in microneedle design, an exploration of the challenges faced in this field and potential forward strategies to embrace the exploitation of microneedle methodologies, while considering the inherent safety aspects of such therapeutic tools.
