| Urea is a small, organic molecule (chemical formula: CO(NH₂)₂) that is the primary nitrogen-containing waste product in mammals. It is produced in the liver through the urea cycle, a metabolic pathway that converts toxic ammonia (a byproduct of protein metabolism) into urea, which is then excreted in urine by the kidneys. -Urea can act as a solubilizing agent for certain drugs, especially those that might benefit from improved solubility in aqueous environments. -Presence of urea (as a carrier) increased the aqueous solubility of capsaicin by 3.6-fold compared to pure capsaicin -Urea disrupts the hydrogen bonding within the water molecules which allows hydrophobic solutes to become solvated in water -In dermatology, urea is commonly present in creams, lotions, and ointments not only for its moisturizing effects but also for its ability to enhance the absorption of other therapeutic agents. |

| Process through which new blood vessels. Angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation from pre-existing vessels, plays a crucial role in cancer progression and metastasis. Tumors require a blood supply to grow beyond a certain size and to spread to other parts of the body. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): VEGF is one of the most important pro-angiogenic factors. It stimulates endothelial cell proliferation and migration, leading to the formation of new blood vessels. Many tumors overexpress VEGF, which correlates with poor prognosis. Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF): In response to low oxygen levels (hypoxia), tumors can activate HIF, which in turn promotes the expression of VEGF and other angiogenic factors. This mechanism allows tumors to adapt to their microenvironment and sustain growth. |
