Short Lecture "Eco-friendly natural deep eutectic solvents to solubilise and formulate natural products in nanosystems: the case of silymarin"

Eco-friendly natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) were used to solubilise and formulate silymarin in nanosized delivery systems. NADES are considered alternative green solvents to extract and solubilise poorly water-soluble molecules [1], such as silymarin, used as a model drug. In this study, NADES were also investigated as a dispersant phase of colloidal systems to reproduce vesicles naturally occurring in plants for pharmaceutical technology purposes and, specifically, for drug delivery.
