This chapter illustrates the significance of nanotechnology and new therapeutic formulations based on nanoparticles to improve the efficacy of cargos intended for treating various diseases and disorders. Various strategies were explored to stabilize and equip these therapeutic nanoformulations with the capability to escape the human immune system and enhance the targeted delivery of the cargos to diseased tissues for different biomedical applications including therapeutic, theranostic, imaging, and sensing purposes. Synthetic and natural approaches were widely investigated and it was found that the natural approach employing membranes from different types of human cells to camouflage the nanoparticles or cargos via coating …

Manzamines are chemically related compounds extracted from the methanolic extract of Acanthostrongylophora ingens species. Seven compounds were identified by our research group and are being characterized. As their biological target is unknown, this work is based on previous screening work performed by Mayer et al., who revealed that manzamine A could be an inhibitor of RSK1 kinase. Within this work, the RSK1 N-terminal kinase domain is exploited as a target for our work and the seven compounds are docked using Autodock Vina software. The results show that one of the most active compounds, Manzamine A N-oxide (5), with an IC50 …
