Cystic echinococcosis still remains a serious health and economic problem worldwide. The etiologic agent is , giving origin to a fluid-filled cystic lesion. Therapy faces several challenges. Nanodrugs have shown promise as chemotherapeutics against hydatid cysts. The present study evaluated a highly safe lipid nano-polymeric capsule for its superior efficacy and ability to overcome drug resistance. Nanocapsule drugs were formulated into six groups: Albendazole, mebendazole, praziquantel, albendazole + mebendazole, albendazole + praziquantel, and praziquantel + mebendazole. The protoscolicidal effects of these six groups were assessed at 10, 60, and 120 min in three concentrations (1, 0.5, and 0.25 mg/mL). Drug formulations were evaluated via zeta potential, droplet size, solubility, particle size analyzer (PSA), and scanning electron microscopy. According to the PSA results, the mean size of the albendazole nanocapsules was 193.01 nm, mebendazole was 170.40 nm, and praziquantel was 180.44 nm. Albendazole + mebendazole showed the greatest protoscolicidal activity at a concentration of 1 mg/mL after 120 min. In contrast, each drug's 0.25 mg/mL single-dose times showed the least protoscolicidal activity after 120 min. With the right application of nanotechnology, it is possible to produce safe and effective drugs, such as the polymeric combination of albendazole and mebendazole, which has promising implications.
囊型包虫病在全球范围内仍然是一个严重的健康和经济问题。其病原体是 ,可引发充满液体的囊性病变。治疗面临若干挑战。纳米药物已显示出作为抗包虫囊肿化疗药物的前景。本研究评估了一种高度安全的脂质纳米聚合物胶囊,因其具有卓越的疗效和克服耐药性的能力。纳米胶囊药物被配制成六组:阿苯达唑、甲苯达唑、吡喹酮、阿苯达唑 + 甲苯达唑、阿苯达唑 + 吡喹酮以及吡喹酮 + 甲苯达唑。在三个浓度(1、0.5 和 0.25 mg/mL)下,分别于 10、60 和 120 分钟评估这六组药物的原头蚴杀灭效果。通过zeta 电位、液滴大小、溶解度、粒度分析仪(PSA)和扫描电子显微镜对药物制剂进行评估。根据 PSA 结果,阿苯达唑纳米胶囊的平均大小为 193.01 nm,甲苯达唑为 170.40 nm,吡喹酮为 180.44 nm。阿苯达唑 + 甲苯达唑在 120 分钟后浓度为 1 mg/mL 时显示出最大的原头蚴杀灭活性。相比之下,每种药物 0.25 mg/mL 的单剂量在 120 分钟后显示出最小的原头蚴杀灭活性。通过正确应用纳米技术,有可能生产出安全有效的药物,例如阿苯达唑和甲苯达唑的聚合物组合,这具有广阔的应用前景。
