Abstract
The use of different drug classes as host modulating agents has been postulated to have significance as an adjunctive remedy curing chronic periodontitis. In this study nano-structured films containing doxycyclin (DOX) were evaluated for such purpose. Nano DOX/chitosan particulate system was prepared using spray drying technique and was then incorporated in PVA-based films. The particles were evaluated for particle size, zeta potential and possible drug/polymer interaction. The films were also tested for in-vitro drug release and clinical efficacy compared with placebo and DOX-loaded films. The formed particles had a zeta potential of + 13.8 mV and particle size of 52.86 nm with a polydispersity of PDI=0.946. No significant drug/polymer interaction was detected by DSC thermal analysis. In-vitro DOX release was sustained for about a week with the nano-structured films showing 23% of the drug released compared with 44% released from DOX films. Clinical efficacy was done on 150 periodontal pockets from patients suffering from moderate chronic periodontitis. Following scaling and root planning they were divided into three groups; group I receiving nano-structured (DOX), group II receiving DOX and group III receiving placebo films. Evaluation was done both clinically and biochemically at base-line, 1 week, 1 month and 2 months following drug application. Clinical findings indicated a significant effect of both nano-structured and DOX films in improving the measured parameters compared with the control and placebo groups.

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
