Despite the widespread use of hyaluronic acid (HA) in cosmetic applications, its poor dermal permeation has limited the development of effective topical fillers for TTD. This study aim to develop and evaluate a novel hyaluronic acid nanogel (nanofiller, NF) as a non-invasive topical filler for TTD. The hyaluronic acid NF was formulated and characterized for size, zeta potential, and skin permeation using the Franz diffusion method. The nanofiller demonstrated a particle size of 213.28 ± 4.15 nm and a zeta potential of -22.1 ± 1.07 mV, with a tenfold superior permeation compared to conventional HA gel. Thirty adult female patients aged 21-50 years with TTD were enrolled in a clinical trial and randomly assigned to receive either the NF or a conventional HA gel (control). Participants were randomly assigned to receive either the NF or a conventional HA gel (control). Clinical evaluation included subjective assessments and objective photomorphometric measurements of TTD parameters such as skin roughness (fine lines), indentation index, mean density, and percentage of the affected area. The NF group showed a significant improvement in TTD parameters, including up to a 40-fold reduction in skin roughness and indentation index, with 100% patient satisfaction and no adverse effects, compared to the control group. \"To conclude; this study demonstrates the efficacy and safety of the HA nanofiller as the first effective topical treatment for TTD, offering a non-invasive alternative to injectable fillers.</p>","PeriodicalId":20004,"journal":{"name":"Pharmaceutical Development and Technology","volume":" ","pages":"150-159"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143053198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to their non-selective biodistribution, their usage is associated with severe adverse effects on healthy tissues. In this study, a chitosan-stabilized nanoemulsion (CSNE) was prepared for the codelivery of curcumin (CUR) and methotrexate (MTX). The mean diameter and polydispersity index of CUR-MTX-CSNEs were 194.63 ± 6.7 nm and 0.27 ± 0.06, respectively. Modifying the nanoemulsion surface with chitosan decreased the drug release at pH 7.4 compared to pH 5.8.

Moreover, compared to the free drug-treated group, a 2.6 times reduction of the relative tumor volume was witnessed in CUR-MTX-CSNEs-receiving mice. Histopathological studies confirmed a more substantial inhibitory effect on tumor growth and pulmonary metastasis of developed nanostructures than free CUR/MTX. While there was no noticeable toxicity in the vital organs of CUR-MTX-CSNEs-receiving mice, free drugs resulted in severe toxicity in the liver, kidney, lung and spleen. Overall, the pH-dependent drug release, improved anti-tumor activity and reduced organ toxicity suggest that CUR-MTX-CSNE may be promising in breast cancer therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":20004,"journal":{"name":"Pharmaceutical Development and Technology","volume":" ","pages":"57-68"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142952933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
