Research Title: Ultrasonic extraction of asiaticoside from Centella asiatica using natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES)
Summary: In this research, the natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) is synthesized as an alternative to conventional organic solvents and ionic liquids to isolate asiaticoside from Centella asiatica with the aid of ultrasound. NADES is expected to be more effective in terms of extraction yield, processing cost and biodegradability. The key properties of synthesized NADES is examined. Solubility of asiaticoside in NADES is investigated in developing a high efficiency extraction system which will produce a high quality extracts without affecting its valuable bioactive properties.

Research Title: Design and Development of Niosomal Curcumin to Enhance the Bioavailability of Curcumin
Summary: Curcumin possesses potential beneficial effects as an alternative treatment for diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and COVID-19. On the other hand, curcumin do portray limited bioavailability such as poor stability, low solubility and short half-life. Despite these existing limitations, encapsulating the curcumin in niosome could change the perception towards curcumin and its application as an alternative treatment for chronic diseases. It is known that the release profile of drugs can be tuned by altering the thickness of the delivery vehicle’s membrane. Thus, this research aims to decipher the correlation between the formulation with the bilayer arrangement, and the curcumin release mechanism will contribute to the design of curcumin niosome that is capable of prolonged drug release, stable, and non-detrimental to human.
