Journal ArticleDOI

Dissolving microneedle-mediated dermal delivery of itraconazole nanocrystals for improved treatment of cutaneous candidiasis

TL;DR: The concept that the incorporation of ITZ-NCs into dissolving MNs can offer an effective approach for cutaneous candidiasis treatment is verified, and the antifungal activity in anex vivocandidiasis infection model exhibited that the CA viability declined by up to 100% after 48 h of administration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective delivery of silver nanoparticles for improved treatment of biofilm skin infection using bacteria-responsive microparticles loaded into dissolving microneedles

TL;DR: The feasibility of the loading of silver NPs into responsive MPs for improved antibiofilm activities when delivered using DMNs is confirmed and toxicity and in vivo pharmacodynamic studies should now be carried out in an appropriate model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Poly(caprolactone)-Based Coatings on 3D-Printed Biodegradable Implants: A Novel Strategy to Prolong Delivery of Hydrophilic Drugs

TL;DR: This work investigates the use of poly(caprolactone) (PCL)-based implant coatings as a novel strategy to prolong the delivery of hydrophilic compounds from implantable devices that have been prepared by additive manufacturing (AM).
Journal ArticleDOI

WITHDRAWN: Bacterially sensitive nanoparticle-based dissolving microneedles of doxycycline for enhanced treatment of bacterial biofilm skin infection: A proof of concept study.

TL;DR: A combination approach of bacterial sensitive nanoparticles (NPs) and dissolving microneedles (MNs) of doxycycline (DOX) for improved biofilm penetration and specifically delivering DOX to the infection site following its formulation into bacterial sensitive NPs and delivery via MN.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermosensitive and mucoadhesive in situ ocular gel for effective local delivery and antifungal activity of itraconazole nanocrystal in the treatment of fungal keratitis

TL;DR: In this article, the incorporation of itraconazole into nanocrystalline carrier system with stabilizer Pluronic® F127 and was further formulated into thermosensitive in situ ocular gel.
