Since chemotherapy often suffers from limited effectiveness and specificity against cancer cells, causing important side effects and toxicity in healthy tissues, the main clinical option is still usually represented by surgery. In this context, the development of nano-tracers with tumor specificity to achieve an accurate and timely diagnosis could be of crucial importance. In recent years, several studies have been carried out using nanoparticles of ferritin (HFn), that offer new therapeutic options, potentially allowing the specific drug delivery to cancer cells, as well as the possibility of exploiting them as nano-tracers for tumor detection and fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) applications. Indeed, one of the most important features of HFn is its natural homing towards cancer cells thanks to the specific recognition of the transferrin-1 receptor (TfR1), which is abundantly expressed in most tumor subtypes [1-4].

It is estimated that there are approx. 2 million different species. Fungi have been used by people in the kitchen, brewing, viticulture, folk medicine as well as in biotechnology for the production or biotransformation of various substances and in recent years are also popular for the green synthesis of nanoparticles. Biologically active secondary metabolites of fungi have become the inspiration for the design of drug structures [1,2]. Fungi are ubiquitous in nature and are vital for the recycling of nutrients contained in organic matter (most species of fungi are saprophytes). They coexist with other organisms on the basis of mutualism, commensalism, and unfortunately parasitism [3,4]. Some fungi attack humans, animals and plants; it is estimated that 270,000 species of fungi are associated with plants and 325 are known to infect humans. Fungi cause diseases ranging from superficial and cutaneous forms through complicated subcutaneous forms to systemic (invasive fungal infections) diseases. Mycoses are caused by colonization/proliferation/sporulation of fungi in tissues and body fluids.

The characterizations of the azithromycin-loaded nanogel were done by DLS and FT-IR.

We observed absolute transition from the crystalline form of the azithromycin to amorphous state while was loaded to the AA-Gel nanogel by FT-IR, and the FT-IR measurements demonstrate that there are not any detectable chemical and intramolecular interactions between AZM and nanogel network. The encapsulation efficiency of the loaded nanogels were influenced by the ratio of drug to polymer, which the highest value (86.3±2.3%) was demonstrated for the 1:3 formulation. In vitro azithromycin release profile from AA-Gel nanogels presents an initial burst release over a period of 4 hours that is followed by controlled release until the 24 hours. Nanogels showed significant bacteriostatic activities in comparison to free azithromycin.

However, the topical application of aqueous dispersions of nanocarriers is limited due to high fluidity of the formulations. In contrast, the topical application of various types of hydrogels are common for the good consistency and spreadability properties. For example, most marketed topical preparations of oestradiol (E2), which are used as hormone replacement therapy in menopausal women, are alcoholic hydrogels. Though, such formulations must be applied daily and chronic usage of alcohol can be damaging to the skin. In this paper, a lipid nanocapsule (LNC)-hydrogel hybrid system containing E2 was developed without the use of any alcohol or other organic solvents with an aim to achieve sustained transdermal drug delivery. In the LNCs, more than 95% of the drug was encapsulated and the dispersion was used to prepare a hydrogel using carboxypolymethylene. Moreover, an alcoholic hydrogel containing E2 was formulated to compare the in vitro transdermal E2 permeability using synthetic model STRAT-M®. Additionally, an apparatus for the permeability study was developed by modifying USP dissolution apparatus-I and its suitability was realized by comparing its results with the permeability in Franz diffusion cell apparatus. The LNC-hydrogel hybrid system showed more stable and sustained delivery of E2 compared to the alcoholic hydrogels. Therefore, the E2-LNC-hydrogel hybrid system can be a promising formulation for hormone replacement therapy in menopausal women with the potential to increase dosing intervals, reduce hormone label fluctuations by its more stable flux, and eliminate the damaging effects of chronic alcohol application on the skin.","PeriodicalId":276715,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th World Congress on Recent Advances in Nanotechnology","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115550728","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}
