In this order of ideas, Bariş & Kötekoğlu (2024) have developed an organogelator, which is a molecule that, when dissolving in an organic solvent, forms a gel. It can be used in small quantities and have applications in cosmetics, optics, and other fields (Zeng et al., 2021). The compound developed in this research was 1(N1,N2-bis(2S,3S)-1-((4-(tert-butyl)benzyl)amino)-3-methyl-1-oxopentan-2yl)oxalamide), which are biocompatible with high penetration capacity, useful as transporters of topical bioactive molecules with great stability. Also, to determine the capacity to capture the gels obtained, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS) ibuprofen and naproxen were used, which are safer for muscle pains in topical application, due to gastric intolerance that both drugs can produce (Manoukian et al., 2017). Ultimately, this research demonstrates the capacity of novel organogel as a carrier system for medicines and bioactive molecules for medical use. Thus, organogels and oleogels are promising formulations for the delivery of useful bioactive compounds from the waste of agriculture and the food industry (Souza & Pereira 2023).In addition, Ullah et which is an anticarcinogenic compound (Mottaghi & Abbaszadeh 2021). This functionalized 62 nanostructure was synthetized using the fruit Celtis tournefortii (endemic tree of the southwestern 63 slopes of Etna and Nebrodi mountains) for obtain a composite with activated carbon named CtAC. 64Later CtAC was employed for the synthesis of IONPs@CtAC magnetic nanocomposite and loaded 65 with morin; it was evaluated for cytotoxicity against HT-29 (colorectal), T98-G (glioblastoma) cancer 66 cell lines, and human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) as a healthy cell line.
