Abstract
Neuroinflammation is a condition that contribute significantly to the pathogenesis and progression of several neurodegenerative disorders. Targeting neuroinflammation is a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of these disorders. Dexamethasone is a steroidal based anti-inflammatory drug with the potential to treat neuroinflammation. However, in order to maintain the efficacy of the drug, dexamethasone needs to be coupled with an effective drug delivery vehicle to be able to be transported across Central Nervous System. PLGA nanoparticles has been used as drug delivery vehicles for transport of drugs into the central nervous system. The article describes the preparation and encapsulation of dexamethasone loaded PLGA nanoparticles by solvent evaporation method. Statistical Experimental Design approach was performed, wherein Response Surface Methodology was carried out to optimize the parameters associated with synthesis process. Further, kinetic modeling and drug release profile were also determined. The drug encapsulated nanoparticles were validated for its effectiveness in vitro. Toxicity studies revealed the nanodrug to be non-cytotoxic and Griess assay highlighted its ability to lower neuroinflammation. Further, genetic studies revealed the anti-inflammatory properties of the nanodrug was successfully in modulating neuroinflammation.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
