Abstract
Background: Periodontitis is a localized inflammatory disorder. If not treated timely, the disease can result in loosening and subsequent loss of teeth. In situ hydrogel prepared with phase separation technique has emerged as an attractive alternative for periodontal pocket injection.
Objective: Minocycline (MCL)-loaded in situ hydrogel was prepared composed of poly(lactide-coglycolide) (PLGA) and N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) to improve the topical treatment effect of periodontitis.
Method: A series of reasonable and applicable formulations were optimized by investigating their syringeability, viscosity and in vitro drug release. The rheological profiles, antimicrobial activities and pharmacodynamics were further studied to evaluate its effect on periodontitis treatment.
Results: The prepared MCL/PLGA hydrogel exhibited the characteristic of Newton fluid with acceptable syringeability. Drug release could last for more than 48 hours with an acceptable “burst release”. It also had obvious antimicrobial activities and pharmacodynamics efficiency similar to the commercial product, Parocline®.
Conclusion: MCL/PLGA in situ hydrogel may be a promising clinical formulation for periodontitis treatment.
Keywords: Antibacteria, burst release, in situ hydrogel, minocycline, periodontitis, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA).

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
