The hallmark of diabetes mellitus is excessively high blood sugar levels brought on by a breakdown in glucose homeostasis brought on by a partial or complete lack of insulin in the body or by insulin activity. Hyperglycaemia is caused by changes in insulin levels or activity as well as cell activities that affect the biochemical processes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in target organs like the liver function. skeletal muscle, kidney, and adipose tissue. 1.5 million deaths per year are attributed to diabetes, and 48 percent of these fatalities occurring before the age of 70. Premature mortality from diabetes increased by 5% between the years 2000 and 2016. Therefore, it's essential to pick the appropriate diabetic therapy. Professional anti-diabetic medications are available to treat diabetes, however there are significant concerns over their cost and side effects. The drawbacks of currently available drugs necessitate the development of new, less expensive, and safer remedies. While Anisomeles malabarica (A. malabarica), an indigenous medicinal plant, has been shown to have anti-epileptic, anti-diabetic, anti-proliferative, and other qualities, the focus of this review is on AM's anti-diabetic advantages.","PeriodicalId":8995,"journal":{"name":"Bioequivalence & Bioavailability International Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139362866","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}

Despite extensive research efforts, SNHL treatment remains a challenge due to various barriers, including limited drug penetration into the inner ear and the risk of systemic side effects. This abstract explores the innovative use of nanoparticles in intratympanic drug delivery as a promising solution to overcome these hurdles. Nanoparticles offer a unique platform for drug delivery to the inner ear, enhancing bioavailability and ensuring bioequivalence of therapeutic agents. Through targeted delivery, controlled release, and drug protection, nanoparticles address critical limitations in traditional SNHL treatments. These abstract reviews the barriers to SNHL treatment, the advantages of nanoparticle-based delivery systems, and their potential to revolutionize the management of SNHL.

However, thymol has limited solubility and poor bioavailability, which limits its use as a therapeutic agent. To overcome these limitations, researchers have developed various nano-based drug delivery systems (NDDS) to improve the efficacy of thymol.
