Aim: A polymeric in situ gelling delivery system for localized and sustained delivery to jawbone infections was developed. Materials & methods: In situ gelling delivery systems were prepared using either poly-dl-lactic acid or chitosan and Pluronic F127/Pluronic F68. Metronidazole nanoparticles were prepared using poly (dl-lactide-co-glycolide) or chitosan. Poly (dl-lactide-co-glycolide) was used for microparticles. Particles were characterized for size, charge and morphology. Results: Viscosity and yield stress of the gels were 0.4 Pa.s and 2 Pa, respectively, with 70% cell viability over 72 h. Around 90% of loaded metronidazole was released at a sustained rate over 1 week. Conclusion: Use of appropriate amount of nano/microparticles in the gel resulted in a sustained release over a period of 1 week – needed for jawbone infection.

Aim: To develop a new nano-delivery system for insulin buccal administration. Background: Biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) had viewed countless breakthroughs in drug delivery systems. The main objective of PNPs application in delivering and carrying different promising drugs is to make sure that the drugs being delivered to their action sites. As a result maximizing the desired effect and overcoming their limitations and drawbacks. Objectives: The main goals of this study were to produce an insulin consumable nano-delivery system for buccal administration and enhance the mucoadhesive effect in sustaining insulin release. Methods: Water in oil in water (W-O-W) microemulsion solvent evaporation technique was used for the preparation of nanoparticles consisting from positively charged poly (D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) coated with chitosan and loaded with insulin. Later, a consumable buccal film was prepared by the spin coating method and loaded with the previously prepared nanoparticles. Results: The newly prepared nanoparticle was assessed in terms of size, charge and surface morphology using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), zeta potential, Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), and Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy. An in-vitro investigation of the insulin release, from nanoparticles and buccal film, demonstrated controlled as well as sustained delivery over 6 hrs. The cumulative insulin release decreased to about (28.9%) with buccal film in comparing with the nanoparticle (50 %). Conclusion: The buccal film added another barrier for insulin release. Therefore, the release was sustained.
