Application

  • Potential Activity of Micafungin and Amphotericin B Co-Encapsulated in Nanoemulsion against Systemic Candida auris Infection in a Mice Model.: This study investigates the use of Brij® 58 in formulating a nanoemulsion to enhance the efficacy of micafungin and amphotericin B against systemic Candida auris infections in mice. The results suggest significant improvements in drug delivery and antifungal activity (Marena et al., 2024).
  • Encapsulation of Pure Water-Stable Perovskite Nanocrystals (PNCs) into Biological Environment-Stable PNCs for Cell Imaging.: This research highlights the role of Brij® 58 in stabilizing perovskite nanocrystals, enhancing their stability and applicability in biological environments for cell imaging purposes (Zheng et al., 2024).
  • Improving Drug Delivery on Candida Albicans Using Geraniol Nanoemulsion.: This paper discusses the use of Brij® 58 in geraniol nanoemulsions to enhance drug delivery against Candida albicans, showing improved antifungal effectiveness and stability (Silva Pontes et al., 2023).
  • Combined Effect of Shaking Orbit and Vial Orientation on the Agitation-Induced Aggregation of Proteins.: Brij® 58 is utilized in this study to prevent protein aggregation in pharmaceutical formulations during agitation, highlighting its importance in maintaining protein stability (Dasnoy et al., 2024).
