Nano-cubosomes of the phyto-active principle in Withania somnifera: LC-MS-NMR, anti-microbial, and insights of the anti-neuropathic and anti-inflammatory mechanism.

The study explored Withania somnifera's anti-microbial, anti-neuropathic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Withanolide A was identified as the most active compound. Nano-cubosomes improved its efficacy, particularly CUB 3, showing potential as a drug-delivery system for neuropathy and inflammation.
