Journal ArticleDOI
A Review of Biodegradable Natural Polymer-Based Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery Applications
TL;DR: This review critically examines the use of natural biodegradable polymers and their drug delivery systems for local or targeted and controlled/sustained drug release against fatal diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammation targeted chitosan-based hydrogel for controlled release of diclofenac sodium.
Nafisa Gull,Shahzad Khan,Osama Majeed Butt,Atif Islam,Attaullah Shah,Sehrish Jabeen,Saba Urooge Khan,Afrasyab Khan,Rafi Ullah Khan,Muhammad Taqi Zahid Butt +9 more
TL;DR: In vitro studies confirmed the prepared hydrogels have good biodegradability, excellent antimicrobial property and admirable cytotoxicity, and paved the path towards the development of hydrogel that can release the drugs with desired temporal patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro study of chitosan-based multi-responsive hydrogels as drug release vehicles: a preclinical study
Nafisa Gull,Shahzad Khan,Muhammad Taqi Zahid Butt,Syed Haroon Khalid,Muhammad Shafiq,Atif Islam,Sumreen Asim,Sadaf Hafeez,Rafi Ullah Khan +8 more
TL;DR: The overall results indicate the successful development of novel, non-toxic and sustained drug deliverable hydrogels, which can be considered as a paramount success towards the fabrication of controlled drug delivery systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing of biocompatible and biodegradable chitosan based crosslinked hydrogel for in vitro release of encapsulated povidone-iodine: A clinical translation
Nafisa Gull,Shahzad Khan,Syed Haroon Khalid,Saba Zia,Atif Islam,Aneela Sabir,Misbah Sultan,Farieha Hussain,Rafi Ullah Khan,Muhammad Taqi Zahid Butt +9 more
TL;DR: In this study, CS-PVP based hydrogels are fabricated by varying the concentration of 3-glycidyloxypropyl trimethoxysilane via solution casting technique to obviate the demand for encapsulation and offer promising and translatable strategies for more effective release of drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
