Dissolving Microneedles Containing Lactoferrin Nanosuspension for Enhancement of Antimicrobial and Anti-Inflammatory Effects in the Treatment of Dry Eye Disease.

Dry eye disease (DED), also known as "keratoconjunctivitis sicca", is a common chronic ocular surface disease accompanied by inflammation and diminished tear production. Bovine Lactoferrin (BLF), a multi-functional iron-binding glycoprotein found in tears, decreased significantly in patients with DED, used for the treatment of dry eye, conjunctivitis, and ocular inflammation. BLF has limited therapeutic efficacy due to poor ocular bioavailability.

Augmented Marshmallow Extract Lipid Nanoparticles with Clove Oil Embedded in Collagen Sponge for Ultimate Antimicrobial Healing of Diabetic Mouth Ulcer.

: Diabetic mouth ulcers are a pathological condition of the oral mucosa leading to increases in susceptibility to infection and prolonged wound healing time. Still, there is a lack of natural formulations for treating this condition. Our principal objective was to formulate solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) that contained (marshmallow) (M.

Chitosan-Based Intelligent Microneedles for Delivery of Amphotericin B Loaded Oleosomes: Antifungal Ocular Patch Targeting for Effective Against Fungal Keratitis Using Rabbit Model via TLR4/NLRP3 Pathway.

Background: Fungal keratitis (FK), a major cause of blindness, remains challenging to treat due to poor drug penetration and antifungal resistance. Amphotericin-B (AmB), a water-insoluble and low-permeability, necessitates innovative delivery systems to improve its therapeutic efficacy.

Methods: AmB was encapsulated within oleosomes (Ole) prepared using the ethanol injection method, using phosphatidylcholine (Lipoid S100) and sodium oleate, resulting in nanosized spherical globules.

Polylactic-Co-Glycolic Acid/Alginate/Neem Oil-Reduced Graphene Oxide as a pH-Sensitive Nanocarrier for Hesperidin Drug Delivery: Antimicrobial and Acute Otitis Media Assessments.

: Hesperidin (HSP) is a potent phytochemical antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent that protects against otitis media. However, due to its low solubility and bioavailability, a suitable delivery method is needed to overcome these problems. A hydrogel is a promising nanocarrier for controlled drug delivery in response to external stimuli, such as pH variations.

Green Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles from Flower Extract Coated with Chitosan for Potential Healing Effects on Diabetic Wounds by Inhibiting TNF-α and IL-6/IL-1β Signaling Pathways.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a multisystem chronic pandemic, wound inflammation, and healing are still major issues for diabetic patients who may suffer from ulcers, gangrene, and other wounds from uncontrolled chronic hyperglycemia. contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and phenolics that support wound healing via antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. Our study aimed to develop a combination of eco-friendly formulations of green synthesis of ZnO-NPs by extract and further incorporate them into 2% chitosan (CS) gel.

Design and Optimization of Pioglitazone Hydrochloride Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System (SNEDDS) Incorporated into an Orally Disintegrating Tablet.

Pioglitazone Hydrochloride (PGZ) suffers from poor aqueous solubility. The aim of this research was to design orally disintegrating tablets with self-nanoemulsifying properties (T-SNEDDS) to improve the Pioglitazone solubility and dissolution rate. Three liquid self-nanoemulsifying systems (L-SNEDDS) were formulated and evaluated for transmittance percentage, emulsification time, particle size, Poly dispersity index (PDI), percentage of content, solubility and stability.
