Abstract
Extensive efforts have recently been focused on targeting a drug or delivery system in a particular region of the body for extended period of time, not only for local targeting of drugs but also for the better control of systemic drug delivery. The concept of periodontal drug delivery systems has fascinated many investigators to the possible use of various polymers, which can overcome various physiological barriers in long-term drug delivery, there by rendering the treatment more effective and safe for local disorders and systemic problems. Presence of a smooth and relatively immobile surface for placement of a bio-adhesive dosage form has made periodontal route more suitable for sustained delivery of therapeutic agents using bio-adhesive systems. Antibiotics, antiseptics and other poorly absorbable drugs can be successfully delivered via periodontium for the treatment of infectious periodontal diseases. The dosage forms include microparticles, microspheres, adhesive gels, adhesive films, adhesive creams and ointments. Bio-adhesive periodontal drug delivery system can also exert positive influence on drug effectiveness by keeping the drug in the region proximal to its absorption window and allow the targeting and localization of the drug at the specific site.

Advances of natural products, bio-actives and novel drug delivery system against emerging viral infections
Due to the increasing prevalence of viral infections and the ability of these human pathogens to develop resistance to current treatment strategies, there is a great need to find and develop new compounds to combat them. These molecules must have low toxicity, specific activity and high bioavailability. The most suitable ...read more
Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
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
