Abstract
Bioresorbable polymers offer the potential to deliver biologically active agents that selectively modulate wound healing in bone and periodontal regeneration. This preliminary study characterizes early wound healing in calvarial defects grafted with demineralized bone matrix (DBM) overlaid with membranes made from a novel class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-derived poly(anhydride-esters). These polymers chemically incorporate either salicylic acid (SA) or 5-(2,4-difluorophenyl)salicylic acid (diflunisal) into the polymeric backbone and release the NSAIDs upon hydrolysis. Inflammatory cell infiltrate in response to the novel NSAID-derived polymers was compared to defects grafted with DBM alone at 10 days and to defects grafted with DBM and overlaid with poly(lactic acid) (PLA; Atrisorb®) at 21 days in 8 Wistar rats (350-450 g). Histological analysis of the calvarial sites at 10 days revealed that the NSAIDderived polymers were associated with moderate levels of inflammation similar to defects grafted without polymer (2.3 ± 0.96 versus 2.0 ± 0.82, respectively), consistent with the therapeutic activity of salicylic acid and diflunisal. Defects grafted with DBM and overlaid with NSAID-derived polymers at 21 days exhibited mild inflammation; whereas, defects treated with PLA were consistently associated with moderate to severe inflammatory cell infiltrate (1.8 ± 0.50 versus 2.7 ± 0.58, respectively). Histopathological findings, such as foreign body giant cells or fibrous encapsulation, were not observed in any defects with NSAID-derived polymers. Cellular features consistent with bone formation were found in all grafted defects. This novel class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-derived poly(anhydride-esters) were well tolerated and elicited no demonstrable increase in inflammation, as shown with PLA, during osseous wound healing in a regenerative application.

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
