The impact of OSA offers a major challenge to health systems globally. Therapeutic approaches encompass surgical interventions, non-pharmacological therapies (exercise, rehabilitation, behavioral interventions) and pharmacological treatments. Inflammatory processes within OSA joints are regulated by pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Etodolac, a COX-2-selective inhibitor, is the gold standard for OSA management and uniquely does not inhibit gastric prostaglandins. This comprehensive review offers insights into OSA's pathophysiology, genetic factors and biological determinants influencing disease progression. Emphasis is placed on the pivotal role of etodolac in OSA management, supported by both preclinical and clinical evidences in topical drug delivery. Notably, <i>in</i>-<i>silico</i> docking studies suggested potential synergies between etodolac and baicalein, considering ADAMTS-4, COX-2, MMP-3 and MMP-13 as essential therapeutic targets. Integration of artificial neural network (ANN) techniques with nanotechnology approaches emerges as a promising strategy for optimizing and personalizing topical etodolac delivery. Furthermore, the synergistic potential of etodolac and baicalein warrants in-depth exploration.

A common feature of these disorders, including stroke, traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer's disease, is the impairment of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a critical structure for maintaining brain homeostasis. The compromised BBB in neurodegenerative conditions poses a significant challenge for effective treatment, as it allows harmful substances to accumulate in the brain. Nanomedicine offers a promising approach to overcoming this barrier, with nanoparticles (NPs) engineered to deliver therapeutic agents directly to affected brain regions. This review explores the classification and design of NPs, divided into organic and inorganic categories and further categorized based on their chemical and physical properties. These characteristics influence the ability of NPs to carry and release therapeutic agents, target specific tissues and ensure appropriate clearance from the body. The review emphasizes the potential of NPs to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases through targeted delivery, improved drug bioavailability and real-time therapeutic efficacy monitoring. By addressing the challenges of the compromised BBB and targeting inflammatory biomarkers, NPs represent a cutting-edge strategy in managing neurological disorders, promising better patient outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":22959,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutic delivery","volume":" ","pages":"1-28"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142295997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
