What is it about?
Naringin is one of the most interesting compound of plant origin. Yet, its absorption particulary after oral administration is not optimal, and hence its efficacy as antiulcer and anticancer is limited or require very arge doses. we have provided a simple nano delivery system of this compound and proved its efficiency to improve the antiulcer and anticancer activities of this drug

Why is it important?
naringin is present in different plants as grape and citrus fruits. it is safe. Different studies indicated that this compound has antiulcer and anticancer activities. yet, this requires high doses parentrally and protection against degradation in the gut. Our nano-drug delivery system is simple and successful to reduce the dose and to improve the drug absorption and stability against degradation in the gut providing a safer alternative of chemotherapy and currently available antiulers that may cause some undesirable effects
Perspectives
I hope the findings of this article encourage researchers to perform clinical studies of our nano-drug delivery system of this interesting compound that may be a good chance for patients suffering from ulcer or cancer to stop their suffering and to have the chance to survive and have a good start to live happily and healthy
