May 2026 in “European Cells and Materials” The study presents a novel hyaluronic acid-based biphasic delivery platform for Huperzine A (HupA), aimed at improving Alzheimer's disease management. This system encapsulates HupA-loaded polyhydroxyalkanoate nanoparticles within a HA gel matrix, achieving complete drug encapsulation and extending HupA release for over 20 days. In vivo tests on AD mice showed significant therapeutic efficacy, including reduced amyloid-beta deposition, restored cholinergic function, suppressed glial activation, reduced neuroinflammation, enhanced neuronal survival, and preserved synaptic integrity. These effects led to improved spatial memory and reduced anxiety/depression-like behaviors. The study concludes that the HupA@(NP/Gel) system effectively addresses HupA delivery challenges, offering a promising strategy for Alzheimer's intervention.

June 2026 in “International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology” This study explored the synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) derived from Pogostemon benghalensis extract, revealing their potential as antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer agents. The AgNPs exhibited a crystalline structure with a particle size of 113.6 nm and demonstrated significant antibacterial activity, particularly against V. cholerae. Antioxidant tests showed concentration-dependent free radical scavenging abilities. In cytotoxicity tests on A549 lung cancer cells, the AgNPs were more effective at higher doses, with an IC₅₀ of 47 µg/mL, inducing apoptosis as evidenced by chromatin condensation and nuclear fragmentation. Overall, these findings suggest that AgNPs synthesized from P. benghalensis could be promising for medical applications.
