In this study, 6-maleimidohexanoic acid grafted chitosan nanoparticles (MHA-CS NPs) were prepared and evaluated the efficiency of intranasal protein delivery as compared with well-known chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs). Fluorescein isothiocyanate labelled with bovine serum albumin (FITC-BSA) was used as a model protein. The results indicated that both CS NPs and MHA-CS NPs were positively charged NPs before and after protein loading. The condition for optimal protein loading was 1:6 mass ratio of protein/NPs at 1 h incubation period. The optimal formulations of CS NPs and MHA-CS NPs were evaluated on porcine mucosa as ex vivo. The mucoadhesive and permeation properties of FITC-BSA loaded MHA-CS NPs showed a greater than FITC-BSA loaded CS NPs and FITC-BSA solution, respectively. These ex vivo studies present the potential of MHA-CS NPs as a novel carrier for intranasal protein delivery that will be a candidate for in vivo study.

Introduction: The pleiotropic effects of statins are recently explored for wound healing through angiogenesis and lymph-angiogenesis that could be of great importance in diabetic wounds. Aim: Aim of the present study is to fabricate nanofilm embedded with simvastatin loaded chitosan nanoparticles (CS-SIM-NPs) has been reported herein to explore the efficacy of SIM in diabetic wound healing. Methods: The NPs, prepared via ionic gelation, were 173nm ± 2.645 in size with a zeta potential -0.299 ± 0.009 and PDI 0.051 ± 0.088 with excellent encapsulation efficiency (99.97%). The optimized formulation (CS: TPP, 1:1) that exhibited the highest drug release (91.64%) was incorporated into polymeric nanofilm (HPMC, Sodium alginate, PVA), followed by in vitro characterization. The optimized nanofilm was applied to the wound created on the back of diabetes-induced (with alloxan injection 120 mg/kg) albino rats. Results: The results showed significant (p < 0.05) improvement in the wound healing process compared to the diabetes-induced non-treated group. The results highlighted the importance of nanofilms loaded with SIM-NPs in diabetic wound healing through angiogenesis promotion at the wound site. Conclusion: Thus, CS-SIM-NPs loaded polymeric nanofilms could be an emerging diabetic wound healing agent in the industry of nanomedicines.
