Abstract
In the present study an attempt has been made to load Poly (Lactic-Co-glycolic acid) microspheres with hydroxyapatite (HA) and ofloxacin and propose the composite microspheres to be used as local drug delivery system with the drug releasing capability for periodontitis treatment. A modified single emulsion method has been used for the preparation of microspheres. Experiments were conducted to optimize the formulation by RSM-Box-Behnken Method, which is an independent quadratic design involving three or four independent variables against a pre determined set of dependant parameters. The particle size of composite microspheres was analyzed and the average size was found to be 22.05 μm. Photomicrographs and scanning electron micrographs showed that the composite microspheres are spherical in shape and porous in nature. The microbiological activity of optimized formulation was evaluated using strain: S. aureus-ATCC- 29213 and E. coli–ATCC-25922. In vivo/in situ toxicity evaluation of the formulation was assessed by MTT assay and the formulation was found to be biocompatible.

Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
