Novel Drug

Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid are two of the most commonly prescribed antibacterial worldwide for treating oral infectious diseases. Oral health is of big importance for well-being and general health. A few novel drug delivery systems were designed for oral treatment and prophylaxis of different diseases in the oral cavity. This work focused on the latest drug delivery development of the most common oral pathologies, namely, periodontitis, oral mucosal infections, dental caries and oral cancer. Herein we reveal the synthesis, characterization and application of chitosan nanoparticles for intracellular transport of the weakly cell-penetrating amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in order to improve their efficacy on bacterial infections.

The present review aims to summarize the research efforts undertaken in the last few years in the development and testing of hydrogel-clay nanocomposites proposed as carriers for controlled release of diverse drugs. Their advantages, disadvantages and different compositions of polymers/biopolymers with diverse types of clays, as well as their interactions are discussed. Illustrative examples of studies regarding hydrogel-clay nanocomposites are detailed in order to underline the progressive researches on hydrogel-clay-drug pharmaceutical formulations able to respond to a series of demands for the most diverse applications. Brief descriptions of the different techniques used for the characterization of the obtained complex hybrid materials such as: swelling, TGA, DSC, FTIR, XRD, mechanical, SEM, TEM and biology tests, are also included. Enlightened by the presented data, we can suppose that hydrogel-clay nanocomposites will still be a challenging subject of global assiduous researches. We can dare to dream to an efficient drug delivery platform for the treatment of multiple affection concomitantly, these being undoubtedly like ”a tree of life” bearing different kinds of fruits and leaves proper for human healing.
