In a recent work, Pedro Fonte and team examined the therapeutic potential of apigenin.
Apigenin is a dietary flavonoid found in many plants, fruits and vegetables with powerful medicinal properties. Despite its promise, apigenin faces challenges such as poor water solubility, low bioavailability, and stability issues.
To address these hurdles, the research explores innovative nanotechnology-based delivery systems, which significantly improve apigenin’s effectiveness and delivery. Specifically, nanotechnology based strategies allow for:
- enhanced drug solubility and stability.
- taking advantage of the synergistic effects of combining apigenin with conventional therapies.
The work also focus on overcoming challenges like scalability, regulatory approvals, and the need for long-term safety assessments to ensure future clinical adoption. Hence, thipaper offers a promising outlook on the future of apigenin-based formulations while highlighting critical steps needed for commercialization.
