Abstract
Background: Periodontitis is a localized inflammatory disorder. If not treated timely, the disease can result in loosening and subsequent loss of teeth. In situ hydrogel prepared with phase separation technique has emerged as an attractive alternative for periodontal pocket injection.
Objective: Minocycline (MCL)-loaded in situ hydrogel was prepared composed of poly(lactide-coglycolide) (PLGA) and N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) to improve the topical treatment effect of periodontitis.
Method: A series of reasonable and applicable formulations were optimized by investigating their syringeability, viscosity and in vitro drug release. The rheological profiles, antimicrobial activities and pharmacodynamics were further studied to evaluate its effect on periodontitis treatment.
Results: The prepared MCL/PLGA hydrogel exhibited the characteristic of Newton fluid with acceptable syringeability. Drug release could last for more than 48 hours with an acceptable “burst release”. It also had obvious antimicrobial activities and pharmacodynamics efficiency similar to the commercial product, Parocline®.
Conclusion: MCL/PLGA in situ hydrogel may be a promising clinical formulation for periodontitis treatment.
Keywords: Antibacteria, burst release, in situ hydrogel, minocycline, periodontitis, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA).

Advancements in Robotic and AI-based Drug Discovery and Delivery for Neurological Disorders
Neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and brain tumors, pose significant challenges in drug delivery due to the blood-brain barrier's intricate structure and the complexity of neuronal networks. Traditional drug delivery methods often fall short in reaching therapeutic concentrations within the central nervous system, limiting treatment efficacy and ...read more
Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
Nanoemulsions in cancer therapy
Solid tumors are characterized by leaky vascular structure, defective angiogenesis and high interstitial fluid load, providing opportunities for nanoparticles to preferentially exudate and be retained in tumors. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, which is considered to be an important reason why ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
