Development of an Auraptene-Loaded Transdermal Formulation Using Non-ionic Sugar Ester Surfactants
Auraptene (Aur) is a naturally occurring monoterpene coumarin ether that exhibits numerous therapeutic properties. Its high lipophilicity and low skin penetration, however, limit its potential application for local and transdermal delivery. Biocompatible non-ionic sugar esters (SEs) possess beneficial properties for the development of transdermal formulations in delivering pharmaceutically challenging molecules such as graphene and Aur. In the present study, we conducted a series of experiments to demonstrate the effect of several previously unstudied SEs on the skin permeation and distribution of Aur by preparing gel- and dispersion-type formulations. Skin permeation and deposition experiments were conducted using a Franz diffusion cell with rat skin as the membrane. The dispersion-type formulations prepared using SEs had higher entrapment efficiency, as well as better skin permeation and retention profiles. The dispersion-type formulation containing sucrose palmitate (sSP) exhibited the highest skin permeation over 8 h. Notably, the enhancement effects on Aur concentration in full-thickness skin after the application of the dispersion-type formulation was higher than those of the control formulation. These results indicated that the prepared formulation has potential for use in the transdermal delivery of Aur in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products

Harnessing Arsenic Derivatives and Natural Agents for Enhanced Glioblastoma Therapy
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and lethal intracranial tumor in adults. Despite advances in the understanding of the molecular events responsible for disease development and progression, survival rates and mortality statistics for GBM patients have been virtually unchanged for decades and chemotherapeutic drugs used to treat GBM are limited. Arsenic derivatives, known as highly effective anticancer agents for leukemia therapy, has been demonstrated to exhibit cytocidal effects toward GBM cells by inducing cell death, cell cycle arrest, inhibition of migration/invasion, and angiogenesis. Differentiation induction of glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) and inhibition of neurosphere formation have also been attributed to the cytotoxicity of arsenic derivatives. Intriguingly, similar cytotoxic effects against GBM cells and GSCs have also been observed in natural agents such as anthocyanidins, tetrandrine, and bufadienolides. In the current review, we highlight the available data on the molecular mechanisms underlying the multifaceted anticancer activity of arsenic compounds and natural agents against cancer cells, especially focusing on GBM cells and GCSs. We also outline possible strategies for developing anticancer therapy by combining natural agents and arsenic compounds, as well as temozolomide, an alkylating agent used to treat GBM, in terms of improvement of chemotherapy sensitivity and minimization of side effects.p.25 Article number: 2138 Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.This article is an open access article distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
