Polymeric hydrogels are common dosage forms designed for the topical administration of antimicrobial drugs to treat vaginal infections. One major advantages using chitosan in these formulations is related intrinsic and broad activity exerted on bacteria fungi by this natural polymer. Most yeast infections caused pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. However, despite anti-Candida towards strains susceptibility low molecular weight being documented, no information available regarding efficacy...

Intra-articular (IA) injection of thermoresponsive hydrogels coupled with microparticles (MPs) possess the benefit sustaining anti-inflammatory drug effect within joint cavity for rheumatoid arthritis treatment. Star-shaped poly(polyethylene glycol) methacrylate [Poly(PEGMA)] copolymers were synthesized using free radical polymerization technique and fully characterized. Triamcinolone acetonide (TA)-loaded PLA/mPEG–PDL MPs, previously optimized, integrated into copolymer solutions at various...

Liposomes have been on the market as drug delivery systems for over 25 years. Their success comes from ability to carry toxic molecules appropriate site of action through passive accumulation, thus reducing their severe side effects. However, need enhanced circulation time and time-specific turned research focus other systems, such polymers. In this context, novel composites that combine flexibility polymeric nanosystems with properties liposomes gained a lot interest. present work...
