It is essential to assess the biological impact of nanoformulations to create effective formulations and make informed clinical choices. CD Formulation stresses the significance of biologically evaluating nanoformulations, providing services such as hemolysis testing, cellular uptake assays, safety assessments, and research on pharmacokinetics and biodistribution. This assessment can help inform clinical practices, including formulation development, dosage decisions, and administration techniques.
The biological characteristics of nanoformulations are as follows:
As a world-class nanoformulation development and manufacturing service company, we have rich experience in nanoformulation biological evaluation for years, focusing on nanoformulation hemolysis testing, nanoformulation cellular uptake assay, nanoformulation non-clinical safety assessment, nanoformulation pharmacokinetic studies and nanoformulation biodistribution studies.
The hemolytic property of nanoformulations refers to the hemolysis and red blood cell aggregation reactions caused by nanoformulations. Injectable nanoformulations, nanoparticles, and other nanoformulations that may cause immune hemolysis or non-immune hemolytic reactions should be subjected to hemolytic tests. We provide nanoformulation hemolysis testing services to evaluate nanoparticle hemocompatibility...
Nanoformulation cellular uptake assay can be used to measure the transport or internalization of labeled compounds (such as neurotransmitters, metabolites, drugs, or proteins) into cells, or the effectiveness of unlabeled test compounds in inhibiting such transport. We are good at probing nanoformulation cellular uptake assay, including exploring the cellular uptake pathway of nanoparticles and studying some techniques of NP cellular internalization and trafficking...
Nanoformulation non-clinical safety assessment provides important reference information for the clinical trial design and rational clinical use of nanoformulations. We support you at every step of nanoformulation non-clinical safety assessment, including but not limited to selection of testing systems, selection of test substances, and trial design for nanoformulation non-clinical safety evaluation...
Nanoformulation pharmacokinetic studies mainly include in vitro tests (such as stability in biological samples, plasma protein adsorption, protein corona studies, cell uptake, and transport) and in vivo tests (such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and interaction). We scientifically and rationally design experiments based on the characteristics of different nanoformulations and conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the test results to provide a reference for non-clinical effectiveness and safety evaluation to support the conduct of corresponding clinical trials...
By studying the biodistribution of nanoformulations, it is helpful to understand the characteristics of nanoformulation biodistribution, and then control the nanoformulation biodistribution to guide and develop nanoformulations that are beneficial to improving bioavailability. We are dedicated to the study of nanoformulation biodistribution. We have explored and developed methods for evaluating the nanoformulation biodistribution pathways and methods for detecting the nanoformulation biodistribution, including in vivo imaging, tissue section analysis, and quantitative biodistribution studies...
Due to the specific physicochemical properties, distribution and metabolic processes of nanoformulations, their physicochemical properties, distribution, and metabolic processes need to be considered during the in vivo and in vitro biological evaluation of nanoformulations. CD Formulation is committed to exploring and researching some appropriate nanoformulation biological evaluation methods, such as transmission electron microscopy, backscattered electron imaging, fluorescent labeling method, and isotope tracing methods.
Transmission electron microscopy is the preferred method for studying nanoformulation cellular uptake. In addition to detecting the precise positioning of nanoparticles within cells, it can also provide details of the interaction between nanoparticles and cells. Due to its high resolution, it can also be clearly seen in organelles, cell invagination, and vesicle formation. This allows an in-depth study of the cellular uptake process, which is key to understanding the impact of nanoformulation surface characteristics on organisms.
Backscattered electron imaging has been successfully applied to the nanoformulation biological evaluation. This technology is an electron imaging technique based on a scanning electron microscope. Backscattered electrons can focus on the surface morphology and atomic number distribution of the sample.
We determine the location and transport process of nanoformulations in biological systems by detecting fluorescence intensity.
In order to obtain an intuitive and dynamic process of nanoformulations in the body, we used isotope tracing methods to detect the transfer and excretion of nanoformulations in the body.
Nanoformulation biological evaluation, whether in vivo or in vitro, has its own evaluation system and evaluation methods. Nanoformulations have special surface characteristics and in vivo uncertainties. Therefore, we need to fully evaluate the evaluation methods and means before conducting a biological evaluation of nanoformulations.

Results:
The authors synthesized PEGylated konjac gum-loaded rosin pentaerythritol nanocomposites (KG/PEG/RE PNCs) using an environmentally friendly sonochemical approach to explore their potential antibacterial and antifungal properties against a range of pathogens including Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus brasiliensis, and Staphylococcus aureus. The authors modeled the complex dynamics affecting the viscosity of PNCs through an ensemble of machine learning (polynomial regression) to facilitate the understanding of the PNC behavior in relation to the synthesis parameters. The model facilitated the precise formulation of a formula to predict the viscosity of PNCs with high accuracy. The PNCs exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, reaching an inhibitory plateau within the first week, confirming their efficacy as multifunctional antibacterial and antifungal agents. This integrated approach, combining advanced data modeling techniques with biological evaluations, will help optimize the further development of polymer nanostructures.
