Cubosome based nanoformulation of resveratrol and piperine for targeting melanoma

Abstract

Background newlineMelanoma is one of the most aggressive type of skin cancer, with high incidence rate and newlinemortality, throughout the world. Despite of noteworthy development in melanoma newlinetreatment, the destructive nature of the disease makes it difficult for clinicians to manage the newlinecondition. Hence, there is need remains to achieve improved therapeutic activity and overall newlinesurvival time using herbal constituents, which can offer improved efficacy over existing chemotherapy, in melanoma therapy. Resveratrol (RV) and piperine (PI) are the model drugs of choice for their potential antimelanoma activity. However, their clinical application newlineis limited due to their poor pharmacokinetic properties. newline newlineObjectives newlineThe current research work aims to investigate the effect of Cubosomal nanoformulation of newlineRV and PI against Melanoma.Hence the objectives of thestudy are: newline newline1. To formulate, evaluate and optimize RV and PI loaded cubosomal nanoformulation. newline2. To study anticancer activity of optimized cubosomal nanoformulation against newlineMelanoma. newline
