Abstract

Natural herbs have garnered significant research recently as their components target multiple disease signaling pathways, making them highly potential for various disease prevention and treatment. Embelin, a naturally occurring benzoquinone isolated from Embelia ribes, has shown promising biological activities such as antitumor, antidiabetic, anti-oxidant, and antimicrobial. Various mechanisms have been reported, including monitoring genes that synchronize the cell cycle, up-regulating multiple anti-oxidant enzymes, suppressing genes that prevent cell death, influencing transcription factors, and preventing inflammatory biomarkers. However, the hydrophobic nature of embelin leads to poor absorption and limits its therapeutic potential. This review highlights a wide range of nanocarriers used as delivery systems for embelin, including polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, nanostructured lipid carriers, micelles, nanoemulsion, and metallic nanoparticles. These embelin nanomedicine formulations have been developed in preclinical studies as a possible treatment for many disorders and characterized using various in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models.

栓皮素及其纳米制剂的药用潜力:分子机制和各种应用的最新进展。
天然草药最近获得了大量研究,因为它们的成分针对多种疾病信号通路,使其在各种疾病的预防和治疗方面极具潜力。恩贝林是从安贝利比中分离出来的一种天然苯醌,具有抗肿瘤、抗糖尿病、抗氧化和抗菌等良好的生物活性。据报道,其作用机制多种多样,包括监测同步细胞周期的基因、上调多种抗氧化酶、抑制防止细胞死亡的基因、影响转录因子和防止炎症生物标志物。然而,栓皮蛋白的疏水性导致其吸收不良,限制了其治疗潜力。本综述重点介绍了用作栓皮磷脂递送系统的各种纳米载体,包括聚合物纳米颗粒、脂质体、纳米结构脂质载体、胶束、纳米乳液和金属纳米颗粒。这些栓皮素纳米药物制剂已在临床前研究中开发出来,可用于治疗多种疾病,并利用各种体外、体内和体外模型对其进行了表征。
