Hesperidin hexosomal loaded nanodispersion: insights of its antimycobacterial, cytotoxic and anti-HCoV effects.

Valencia oranges contain hesperidin which has anti-TB and antiviral activity. Hesperidin was isolated and formulated as nanodispersions which showed a MIC of 0.19 µM against TB and significant interactions with the Mycobacterial Dihydrofolate reductase enzyme. The nanodispersions also had a cytotoxic effect against lung cancer at IC=33 µM and significant antiviral activity against Human Coronavirus 229E with IC=258.8 μM. This study suggests that Valencia orange peels could be a source of bioactive metabolites for treating diseases.
