  • Exploiting the role of milk extracellular vesicles: a comprehensive analysis on isolation methods, characterization, surface modifications, and their therapeutic applications
    Mahananda R. Prabhu, Dinesh Upadhya, Harishkumar Madhyastha, Anup Naha, Haribalan Perumalsamy, Sneha Sunderraj, Akhilesh Dubey, Shadi Rahimi, Sri Renukadevi Balusamy, Srinivas Hebbar
    Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2026
    Milk EVs (MEVs) are a class of extracellular vesicles (EVs) that have attracted significant attention for their potential as natural nanocarriers in drug delivery. These nanosized vesicles (30 - 150 nm) are composed of a lipid bilayer that encapsulates proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. The biogenesis of EVs involves a tightly regulated “endocytosis-fusion-secretion” pathway, and they are secreted by diverse cells into physiological fluids (blood, urine, and saliva). The isolation and characterization methods of MEVs are essential to achieve high purity, structural integrity, size distribution, and biomolecular composition. Efficient drug loading strategies such as passive diffusion, electroporation, and sonication enable the incorporation of therapeutic molecules. Surface modifications such as PEGylation, ligand conjugation, and genetic engineering further enhance the targeting efficiency, circulation stability, and therapeutic efficacy. Given their biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and natural ability to traverse biological barriers, MEVs offer a scalable, and non-toxic platform for targeted drug delivery such as span cancer therapy, neurodegenerative disease treatment, and immune modulation. However, further research is needed to optimize MEV-based therapeutics, ensuring their efficacy and safety through rigorous clinical trials. This review explores the biogenesis, composition, isolation, characterization, drug-loading strategies, surface modifications, and therapeutic applications of MEVs, highlighting their emerging role in nanomedicine.

    P. Arathi, Anup Naha, Siva Kumar, Usha Rani
    Hospital Topics, 2026
    Utilizing resources to reduce costs and increase income while ensuring patient safety necessitates rigorous planning. The study aims to assess ergonomics, equipment utilization, outpatient satisfaction, and quality assurance in the Radiology Department. Four hundred outpatients, 39 radiographers, and 40 postgraduate students participated in a cross-sectional mixed-methods study that included surveys and interviews. The results were obtained using descriptive statistics, a utilization rate, and a Chi-square test with a 95% confidence interval. Three hundred eighty-two patients, or 95.5%, were satisfied with the overall service quality. Quality and explanation of the process by a radiographer 76.8%, patient knowledge of procedures 76.8%, privacy level 79%, and affordability of treatment 91.8% leading to 95.5% patient satisfaction and 87% were willing to recommend the facility to family and friends. Although there was a high percentage correlation with clinical diagnosis (81%), re-doing 43 (1%), reporting a mistake 30 (23.4%), or both might affect patient safety standards. Quality control, patient safety, and equipment utilization are all inextricably linked. Even minor changes in quality can influence utilization rates and patient safety.

    Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Science, 2026
    Thermoresponsive drug delivery systems offer precise, on-demand, and site-specific release of therapeutic agents in response to temperature changes, thereby enhancing drug stability, minimizing side effects, and improving patient compliance. Among these, thermotropic liquid crystals (TLCs) represent a unique class of temperature-dependent mesophases with tunable properties, extended-release profiles, and targeted delivery capabilities. This review provides an in-depth examination of thermoresponsive mesophases, with a particular focus on TLCs, exploring their fundamental chemistry, structural characteristics, and adaptability in pharmaceutical sciences. A comprehensive literature survey was conducted using Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science to analyze recent advancements in TLC-based drug delivery, biomedical applications, and associated challenges. The review discusses the mechanisms by which TLC mesophases enable thermoresponsive and sustained drug administration, as well as their integration into biosensors and diagnostic platforms, highlighting their broader biomedical potential. Key formulation strategies are outlined, alongside major obstacles such as toxicity, formulation complexity, stability, scalability, and regulatory considerations that must be addressed for clinical translation. The article also showcases recent developments and future directions in this rapidly evolving field, emphasizing the need for biocompatible and scalable TLC systems. By addressing a significant gap in the application of thermotropic mesophases specifically for drug delivery, this review underscores the promise of TLCs as intelligent drug carriers and multifunctional biomedical materials, while also identifying critical areas for future research and development.

    Priyanshu Bhadane, Aniket Khairnar, Kalpana Pandya, Anup Naha, Dileep Kumar, K. A. Abutwaibe, Jiya Desai, Nilesh Bombatkar, Prabha Rajput, Devendra Kumar
    Macromolecular Bioscience, 2026
    Quercetin (Qt) exhibits significant neuroprotective potential in Alzheimer's disease; however, its clinical translation is limited by poor solubility, low permeability, and inadequate brain bioavailability. In this study, a modified polymeric nanocarrier was developed to enhance Qt delivery to the brain. Polyethyleneimine (PEI) was conjugated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and further functionalized with phenylalanine to reduce PEI‐associated toxicity and improve brain‐targeting efficiency. Successful polymer synthesis was confirmed by FT–IR spectroscopy, showing characteristic S─S bond formation at 790 cm − 1 , mass spectrometry (m/z 1087.3), and differential scanning calorimetry. Nanoparticles were optimized using a Quality by Design approach, yielding an experimental particle size of 161.4 ± 1.10 nm, zeta potential of 15.9 ± 2.5 mV, and high entrapment efficiencies of 84.21 % and 86.74 % for Qt‐PEI‐Np and Qt‐PEI‐PEG‐S‐S‐AA‐Np, respectively. SEM analysis revealed spherical nanoparticles with nanoscale surface roughness and good stability. In vitro release studies demonstrated sustained Qt release (98 % over 48 h). MTT assays and cytokine analysis (TNF‐α, IL‐1β, IL‐6) confirmed biocompatibility. Enhanced intestinal permeability, absence of hippocampal toxicity, and effective BBB transport further support the potential of this nanocarrier for targeted neurotherapeutic delivery.
  • Structured engineering of self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) via 3D printing: Comprehensive review
    Induja Govindan, Anjana A. Kailas, K.A. Abutwaibe, Thamizharasan Annadurai, Ujwala Achar, Anup Naha, Srinivas Hebbar
    International Journal of Pharmaceutics X, 2025
    The combination of self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) with three-dimensional printing (3DP) technologies represents an innovative and promising strategy for developing personalised dosage forms. Through precise control over dosage form architecture, controlled drug release kinetics, and individualised therapeutic customisation, 3DP offers distinct and transformative advantages over conventional pharmaceutical formulation approaches. This review focuses on the application of modern 3DP techniques, specifically fused deposition modelling (FDM), semi-solid extrusion (SSE), and drop-on-demand (DoD), in the formulation and production of SEDDS. Each technique is critically evaluated in terms of formulation compatibility, operational mechanisms, and its potential to address the current manufacturing challenges associated with SEDDS. 3DP technologies offer several benefits, including enhanced flexibility in production, the ability to fabricate on demand, and the potential to accommodate complex and personalised therapeutic regimens. However, these methods also face notable limitations, such as material constraints, variability in print quality, mechanical and safety issues, and a lack of clear regulatory guidance. Despite their potential, the use of 3DP in SEDDS development remains relatively unexplored. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current research landscape, identify existing technological and regulatory barriers, and discuss future prospects for integrating 3DP into next-generation SEDDS formulations.

    Kritika Garg, Jakub Herman, Anup Naha, Debanjan Bhattacharjee
    Discover Applied Sciences, 2025
    The article analyses two fluorinated liquid crystal molecules, A and B, through density functional theory simulations. Their structures were optimized using the B3LYP functional and the 6-31+G (d, p) basis set. The research assessed the impact of fluorine substitution and alkyl chains on the energies of the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest vacant molecular orbital. A comparison analysis was performed on electrostatic potential energies, atomic polar tensors, and Mulliken charges to elucidate the dynamic behaviour and charge distribution of these compounds. Furthermore, polarisability and hyperpolarizability were analysed concerning nonlinear optical properties. Additional physical features, including dipole moment, reactivity parameters, and thermodynamic characteristics, were examined to further understanding of phase transitions and dynamics in fluorinated liquid crystals A and B. The electron localisation function and localised orbital locator investigations provide insights into electron localisation and delocalisation inside the compounds. This comparative analysis of fluorine substitution in compounds A and B uncovers novel prospects for advanced optoelectronic devices and molecular dynamics.

    INDUJA GOVINDAN, ANJANA A. KAILAS, ABUTWAIBE KA, THAMIZHARASAN ANNADURAI, ANUP NAHA
    International Journal of Applied Pharmaceutics, 2025
    Objective: Posaconazole (PSC), a highly effective broad-spectrum triazole antifungal, is widely used to treat invasive fungal infections. Accurate and consistent quantification of PSC in biological matrices, such as plasma, is vital for supporting pharmacokinetic and therapeutic drug monitoring studies. To develop and validate a sensitive, robust, and sustainable bioanalytical HPLC method for the quantification of posaconazole in plasma. Methods: The method utilises a simple protein precipitation technique for sample preparation, avoiding more hazardous or solvent-intensive procedures. Chromatographic separation was achieved using an isocratic elution with a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile and water acidified with 0.5% acetic acid (44:56), delivered at a flow rate of 0.7 ml/min. Unlike most reported methods that use phosphate buffers, this method employs water acidified with 0.5% v/v of acetic acid, enhances environmental compatibility and avoids buffer salt disposal and system fouling issues. Detection was performed at 262 nm using a Shimadzu LC-2010CHT system with a dual-wavelength UV detector and a photodiode array (SPD-M20A, Prominence series). Results: The method exhibited excellent linearity over the 0.25–32 µg/ml range (r² = 0.9999). Intra and inter-day precision and accuracy complied with ICH M10 bioanalytical validation guidelines, with %RSD values below 2% and recoveries ranging from 97.7±0.07 to 101.12±0.03%. Stability under all relevant conditions was confirmed. Environmental sustainability was evaluated using AGREE and GAPI tools, an approach not previously applied to posaconazole bioanalysis, highlighting its novelty and sustainable design for routine use. Conclusion: A validated bioanalytical HPLC method for posaconazole quantification in plasma was successfully developed, is suitable for routine pharmacokinetic and therapeutic drug monitoring applications.
  • LIPID-POLYMER HYBRID NANOPARTICLES AND SILICA-BASED HYBRID NANOPARTICLES FOR CANCER TREATMENT
    ANJANA A. KAILAS, ANNAMALAI RAMA, BHAUTIK LADANI, INDUJA GOVINDAN, K. A. ABUTWAIBE, ANUP NAHA
    International Journal of Applied Pharmaceutics, 2025
    The development of complex nanoparticles with enhanced tumor therapy selectivity and effectiveness is now achievable thanks to nanotechnology. Despite the vast number of nanostructures, such as liposomes, solid-lipid nanoparticles, Lipid-Polymer Hybrid Nanoparticles (LPHNPs), and Silica-based Hybrid Nanoparticles (SHNPs), have been developed as carriers for drug delivery for different pathologies with remarkably promising results. In the present study, we have discussed simple and efficient preparation methods for lipid-polymer and silica-based nanoparticles. These methods reduce the potential for toxicity as the drug molecules can be delivered to the pharmacological sites of action at an optimal controlled rate. With adequate preparation methods, lipid hybrid and silica-based nanoparticles can be developed to reduce adverse effects. Significant improvement has been made in preparing and functionalizing the hybrid nanoparticle for advancing cancer treatment. Studies prove that LPHNPs have exhibited drug-loading efficiency of around 60-70%, which is more than liposomal systems. The ability of these nanoparticles to circulate through the Reticulo-Endothelial System (RES) also results in a significant increase in circulation time, with a half-life of up to 12 h. These hybrid nanoparticles with high drug loading efficiency and specific targeting efficiency can help precisely target the tumor cells.
  • Impact of fluorine substitution on benzene ring in two fluorinated liquid crystal compounds: a comprehensive analysis using TG-DTA, FT-IR, UV, and PED techniques
    Kritika Garg, Adrish Chakraborty, Marta Żak, Jakub Herman, Anup Naha, Debanjan Bhattacharjee
    Discover Applied Sciences, 2025
    The main objective in this article is to examine the impact of the fluorine atom on the benzene ring in two liquid crystal compounds that have undergone fluorination. Given that fluorine is a highly electronegative element, it improves the physical properties of liquid crystal compounds. The characteristics of the mentioned compounds have been investigated using FT-IR, UV–Vis, thermogravimetry differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), and the potential energy distribution function of IR spectra. The ambient comparative theoretical and experimental analysis of the two substances, two different basis sets is carried out using DFT. With the basis sets 6-311 + G (d, p) and 6-31 + G (d, p), the TD-DFT/B3LYP approach was used for describing the theoretical UV–Vis spectra of these compounds. Based on experimental and theoretical investigation, both molecules show high compatibility with both the basis sets. The PED (potential energy distribution) function exhibits good agreement when detailed vibrational allocations are made using VEDA (Vibrational energy distribution analysis) software. This enhances comprehension of the diverse dynamical properties and more research into the numerous optical and electrical applications of liquid crystals. The FT-IR and UV–Vis spectra of both compounds are helpful in evaluating various vibrational modes and spectral properties.
