Leonardo holds a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy-Biochemistry from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Araraquara, at São Paulo State University "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" (FCFAr-UNESP). During his undergraduate studies, he focused his research on Cosmetic Technology, specifically on microstructured polymeric systems for topical application of antioxidants. Continuing his academic journey, he obtained a Master's degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2021, also from FCFAr-UNESP, with research focused on the development of functionalized lipid nanoparticles for the treatment of brain cancer. Currently, he is pursuing a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the same institution, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Marlus Chorilli, with a focus on formulating thermoresponsive mucoadhesive hydrogels containing functionalized lipid nanoparticles for intranasal administration of chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of brain cancer. His areas of interest encompass biomaterials, pharmaceutical technology, drug delivery, and in vitro and in vivo tumor models. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most incident and most aggressive neoplasm of the Central Nervous System (CNS). Temozolamide (TMZ), the drug of choice for the treatment of GBM, has clinical efficacy, but treatment with this drug is associated with the development of resistance in more advanced stages of the disease, in addition to the fact that TMZ has physical and chemical limitatio…
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant cancer of the central nervous system, responsible for about 4% of the deaths associated with tumors, characterizing itself as one of the most fatal cancers. Chemotherapy is widely used in treatment and docetaxel (DTX), Taxotere®, is a chemotherapeutic drug that has demonstrated efficacy in GBM treatment, inhibiting cell proliferation…
Vitamins are widely found in the plant kingdom, such as in plants and fruits. Ascorbic acid (AA) is one of these compounds and has a powerful antioxidant activity, in addition to functioning as a skin whitener, fighting free radicals and hyper-pigmentation of the skin. Another important representative compound is nicotinamide (Vitamin B3 or niacinamide), often used in cosmetics to be a pr…
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most frequent and most aggressive Central Nervous System (CNS) cancer. Temozolomide (TMZ), the first-line drug for the treatment of GBM, has clinical efficacy, but treatment with this drug is associated with the development of resistance in more advanced stages of the disease, in addition to the fact that TMZ has physical-chemical limitations that hind…
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary malignant central nervous system cancer, responsible for about 4% of deaths associated with neoplasia, characterized as one of the most fatal human cancers. Chemotherapy is widely present in the treatment of glioblastoma and, among the commercial available drugs, docetaxel (DTX), Taxotere®, is a chemotherapy that has demonstrated ef…
