Abstract
From the literature we can draw conclusions regarding the local use of minocycline in periodontal diseases. This review article attempts to evaluate the role of local delivery of minocycline HCl in the management of periodontal diseases. The efficacies of several local delivery devices of minocycline like minocycline films, strips, gels/ointment, microspheres and nanoparticles are discussed. The functional characteristics of local delivery devices of minocycline, their effectiveness as monotherapy, and comparison with scaling and root planning (SRP) are discussed in detail. Methods for the analysis of minocycline in various biological fluids, clinical trials and patents relevant to the local use of minocycline HCl in dental diseases have also been addressed in the article, conceptualizing the fact that direct application of minocycline into the diseased periodontal sulcus is an attractive treatment approach.

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
