Abstract
Gums are high-molecular-weight compounds with hydrophobic or hydrophilic characteristics, which are mainly comprised of complex carbohydrates called polysaccharides, often associated with proteins and minerals. Various innovative modification techniques are utilized, including ultrasound-assisted and microwave-assisted techniques, enzymatic alterations, electrospinning, irradiation, and amalgamation process. These methods advance the process, reducing processing times and energy consumption while maintaining the quality of the modified gums. Enzymes like xanthan lyases, xanthanase, and cellulase can selectively modify exudate gums, altering their structure to enhance their properties. This precise enzymatic approach allows for the use of exudate gums for specific applications. Exudate gums have been employed in nanotechnology applications through techniques like electrospinning. This enables the production of nanoparticles and nanofibers with improved properties, making them suitable for the drug delivery system, tissue engineering, active and intelligient food packaging. The resulting modified exudate gums exhibit improved rheological, emulsifying, gelling, and other functional properties, which expand their potential applications. This paper discusses novel applications of these modified gums in the pharmaceutical, food, and industrial sectors. The ever-evolving field presents diverse opportunities for sustainable innovation across these sectors.

Abstract
Oral mucositis is a serious issue in patients receiving oncological therapies. Mucosal protectants considered to be one of the preferred choices used in the management of mucositis. However, the protective efficacy of currently available mucosal protectants has been significantly compromised due to poor retention, lack of lubrication, poor biodegradability, and inability to manage secondary complications. Chitosan is a promising material for mucosal applications due to its beneficial biomedical properties. Chitosan is also anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and capable of scavenging free radicals, makes it a good candidate for the treatment of oral mucositis. Additionally, chitosan's amino polysaccharide skeleton permits a number of chemical alterations with better bioactive performance. This article provides a summary of key biological properties of chitosan and its derivatives that are useful for treating oral mucositis. Current literature evidence shows that Chitosan has superior mucosal protective properties when utilised alone or as delivery systems for co-encapsulated drugs.

Abstract
Buccal mucosae are considered as a site for vaccine delivery since they are relatively abundant with antigen-presenting dendritic cells, mainly Langerhans cells. In this study, we formulated carbonated hydroxy apatite (CHA) with ovalbumin (OVA) (denoted as CHA-OVA), incorporated it into bilayer buccal membrane to form hydrogel films containing CHA-OVA complex for vaccination via buccal mucosae. Ethylcellulose blend with polyethylene glycol 400 were used as impermeable backing layer. Physical properties of all tested buccal membranes were found suitable for mucosal application. In vitro and ex vivo release study showed there was no burst release of OVA found from all tested formula. From the in vivo examination, rabbit buccal mucosae vaccinated by mucoadhesive membranes containing CHA-OVA complex demonstrated mucosal specific antibody induction, represented the potential of CHA as a candidate of needle-free vaccine adjuvant. Future research is awaiting to investigate proper CHA crystallinity in complex with protein against targeted diseases.

Abstract
The aim of this narrative review was to present research investigating chitosan, including its general characteristics, properties, and medical and dental applications, and finally to present the current state of knowledge regarding the efficacy of chitosan in the treatment of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) based on the literature. The PICO approach was used for the literature search strategy. The PubMed database was analyzed with the following keywords: (“chitosan”[MeSH Terms] OR “chitosan”[All Fields] OR “chitosans”[All Fields] OR “chitosan s”[All Fields] OR “chitosane”[All Fields]) AND (“temporomandibular joint”[MeSH Terms] OR (“tem-poromandibular”[All Fields] AND “joint”[All Fields]) OR “temporomandibular joint”[All Fields] OR (“temporomandibular”[All Fields] AND “joints”[All Fields]) OR “temporo-mandibular joints”[All Fields]). After screening 8 results, 5 studies were included in this review. Chitosan presents many biological properties and therefore it can be widely used in several branches of medicine and dentistry. Chitosan promotes wound healing, helps to control bleeding, and is used in wound dressings, such as sutures and artificial skin. Apart from its antibacterial property, chitosan has many other properties, such as antifungal, mucoadhesive, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, antihyperglycemic, and antitumoral properties. Further clinical studies assessing the efficacy of chitosan in the treatment of TMD are required. According to only one clinical study, chitosan was effective in the treatment of TMD; however, better clinical results were obtained with platelet-rich plasma.

Abstract
Gefitinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is intended for oral administration yet suffers poor bioavailability along with undesirable side effects. To enhance its solubility and allow colon targeting, gefitinib (ZD) and blends of different ratios of polymers (ternary dispersion) were prepared in organic solution, and solid dispersions were generated employing the spray drying (SD) technique. The methylmethacrylate polymer Eudragit S 100 was incorporated for colon targeting; polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) were utilised to improve the solubility of ZD. SEM, DSC, XRPD, FT-IR, dissolution and cytotoxicity studies were undertaken to characterise and evaluate the developed formulations. SEM images revealed that the rod-shaped crystals of ZD were transformed into collapsed spheres with smaller particle size in the spray-dried particles. DSC, FTIR and XRPD studies showed that ZD loaded in the spray-dried dispersions was amorphous. ZD dissolution and release studies revealed that while a significant (P < 0.05) increase in the ZD dissolution and release was observed from HPMC-based solid dispersion at pH 7.2 (up to 95% in 15 h), practically no drug was released at pH 1.2 and pH 6.5. Furthermore, the HPMC-based solid dispersions displayed enhanced mucoadhesive properties compared with PVP-based ones. Interestingly, cell viability studies using the neutral red assay showed that PVP and HPMC-based solid dispersions had no additional inhibitory effect on Caco-2 cell line compared to the pure drug.

Abstract
The intensive development of micro- and nanotechnologies in recent years has offered a wide horizon of new possibilities for drug delivery in dentistry. The use of polymeric drug carriers turned out to be a very successful technique for formulating micro- and nanoparticles with controlled or targeted drug release in the oral cavity. Such innovative strategies have the potential to provide an improved therapeutic approach to prevention and treatment of various oral diseases not only for adults, but also in the pediatric dental practice. Due to their biocompatibility, biotolerance and biodegradability, naturally occurring polysaccharides like chitosan, alginate, pectin, dextran, starch, etc., are among the most preferred materials for preparation of micro- and nano-devices for drug delivery, offering simple particle-forming characteristics and easily tunable properties of the formulated structures. Their low immunogenicity and low toxicity provide an advantage over most synthetic polymers for the development of pediatric formulations. This review is focused on micro- and nanoscale polysaccharide biomaterials as dental drug carriers, with an emphasis on their potential application in pediatric dentistry.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to prepare and optimize mucoadhesive nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) impregnated with fluconazole for better management of oral candidiasis. The NLCs were fabricated using an emulsification/sonication technique. The nanoparticles consisted of stearic acid, oleic acid, Pluronic F127, and lecithin. Box-Behnken design, artificial neural networking, and variable weight desirability were employed to optimize the joint effect of drug concentration in the drug/lipid mixture, solid lipid concentration in the solid/liquid lipid mixture, and surfactant concentration in the total mixture on size and entrapment. The optimized NLCs were coated with chitosan. The nanoparticles were characterized by surface charge, spectroscopic, thermal, morphological, mucoadhesion, release, histopathological, and antifungal properties. The nanoparticles are characterized by a particle size of 335 ± 13.5 nm, entrapment efficiency of 73.1 ± 4.9%, sustained release, minor histopathological effects on rabbit oral mucosa, and higher fungal inhibition efficiency for an extended period of time compared with fluconazole solution. Coating the nanoparticles with chitosan increased its adhesion to rabbit oral buccal mucosa and improved its anti-candidiasis activity. It is concluded that mucoadhesive lipid-based nanoparticles amplify the effect of fluconazole on Candida albicans in vitro. This finding warrants pre-clinical and clinical studies in oral candidiasis disease models to corroborate in vitro findings.

Abstract
AIM It was the aim of this study to assess in vitro methods for the characterization of mucoadhesive hydrogels for their potential to predict the residence time on human buccal mucosa. METHODS Mixtures of hydrogels comprising hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), xanthan gum (XTGM), hyaluronic acid sodium salt (HA), sodium alginate (ALG), carbopol (CP) as well as polycarbophil (PCP) and porcine mucus were analysed for relative rheological synergism. Furthermore, hydrogels were characterized for their texture and mechanical properties. For the assessment of mucoadhesive strength of formulations tensile studies were performed on porcine buccal mucosa. To facilitate a direct comparability of data the residence time of stained hydrogels was determined ex vivo on porcine buccal mucosa and in the oral cavity of volunteers. RESULTS The extent of relative rheological synergism was in good agreement with data from in vivo residence time studies. Results of tensile studies were further effected by textural properties of hydrogels leading to a restricted correlation with data from the in vivo experiment. The resistance towards removal by artificial saliva flow ex vivo revealed the highest correlation to the in vivo experiment with increasing mucosal residence time in the rank order CP < HEC, HA, ALG, PCP < CMC < XTGM. CONCLUSIONS This overview of measurement principles to predict the residence time of hydrogels for buccal application in humans may be a potent tool for the development of semisolid intraoral formulations.

Abstract
This study explores the possibility of adhering gingival tissue to a root surface that was restored with chitosan (CS)-modified glass ionomer cement (GIC) in the case of gingival recessions associated with root caries, which provides a theoretical basis for clinical application at the cellular level. The specimens were mixed after integrating 1, 2, and 4 wt% CS into the GIC fluid. The characteristics and cytocompatibility were then examined. As more CS was incorporated into the GIC fluid, the mechanical properties and cytocompatibility of chitosan-modified glass ionomer cement (CS-GIC) first improved but then reduced. Under scanning electron microscopy, microcracks were observed on the surface of all materials, but the fewest microcracks were observed on the surface of 2 wt% CS-GIC. The compressive strength of 2 wt% CS-GIC was significantly higher than that of the other groups at 5 days (P < 0.05) and the addition of chitosan didn't change the basic fracture mode of materials. Additionally, the integration 2 wt% CS into GIC can obviously reduce acidity of the original GIC (P < 0.01) when using extracts with concentrations of 100 and 50%. The Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and adhesion and proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) on the surface of the materials indicated that 2 wt% CS-GIC presented better cytocompatibility and was more suitable for the growth of HGFs. In summary, 2 wt% CS-GIC could be considered as a potential root filling material to allow the adhesion and growth of gingival tissue.

Abstract
Periodontal diseases are chronic infectious diseases and are a major oral health burden. With the progress in the understanding of etiology, epidemiology and pathogenesis of periodontal diseases coupled with the understanding of the polymicrobial synergy in the dysbiotic oral microbial flora, several new therapeutic targets have been identified. The strategies to curb bacterial growth and production of factors that gradually destroy the tissue surrounding and supporting the teeth have been the cornerstone for inhibiting periodontitis. Systemic administration of antibiotics for the treatment of periodontitis have shown several drawbacks including: inadequate antibiotic concentration at the site of the periodontal pocket, a rapid decline of the plasma antibiotic concentration to sub-therapeutic levels, the development of microbial resistance due to sub-therapeutic drug levels and peak-plasma antibiotic concentrations which may be associated with various side effects. These obvious disadvantages have evoked an interest in the development of localized drug delivery systems that can provide an effective concentration of antibiotic at the periodontal site for the duration of the treatment with minimal side effects. A targeted sustained release device which could be inserted in the periodontal pocket and prolong the therapeutic levels at the site of action at a much lower dose is the need of the hour. Chitosan, a deacetylated derivative of chitin has attracted considerable attention owing to its special properties including antimicrobial efficacy, biodegradability, biocompatibility and non-toxicity. It also has the propensity to act as hydrating agent and display tissue healing and osteoinducting effect. The aim of this review is to shine a spotlight on the chitosan based devices developed for drug delivery application in the effective treatment of various periodontal disorders. The chitosan based carriers like fibers, films, sponge, microparticles, nanoparticles, gels that have been designed for sustained release of drug into the periodontal pocket are highlighted.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammation of gum and tissues that surround and support the teeth. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be used in the treatment of periodontitis to ease swelling and inflammation. One approach of treating periodontitis is loading the NSAIDs in local drug delivery systems. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the local delivery of the NSAIDs model drug ibuprofen to treat periodontitis using different types of gel formulations (hydrogel, oleogel, and bigel). Gel formulations were characterized in terms of their rheological properties (flow behavior, viscoelastic, and bioadhesive properties) using a controlled-stress rheometer. The in vitro drug release of ibuprofen from gel formulations was investigated using Franz diffusion cells. Gels exhibited more solid-like (elastic) behavior. The viscosity and viscoelastic properties were in the order of oleogel > bigel > hydrogel, respectively. In bioadhesion study, mucin dispersion/plain ibuprofen-hydrogel mixture showed a frequency-dependent interaction of ΔG' = -31 and ΔG' = + 53 Pa at 1 and 10 rad/s, respectively. A strong positive interaction (ΔG' = + 6000 and +130,667 Pa at 1 and 10 rad/s, respectively) was found in mucin dispersion/plain ibuprofen-oleogel mixture. The extent of the negative interaction increased in mucin dispersion/plain ibuprofen-bigel mixture (ΔG' = -59,000 and -79,375 Pa at 1 and 10 rad/s, respectively). After 6 h, ibuprofen release from hydrogel, oleogel, and bigel was 59.5 ± 2.2, 80.6 ± 3.9, and 94.6 ± 3.2%, respectively. Results showed that the rheological and bioadhesive properties and in vitro drug release were influenced by the type of gel formulations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, PEGylated rosin derivatives (PRDs) namely D1 and D2 were synthesized and evaluated for their application to produce sustained-release antibacterial films containing sparfloxacin for periodontitis. SIGNIFICANCE PRDs are biodegradable and biocompatible, and therefore sustained-release dental implant of PRD-sparfloxacin can provide an effectual treatment for periodontitis. METHODS Films were produced by solvent casting technique and characterized for morphology, swelling-index, in vitro degradation and drug release kinetics. The impact of type of PRD, concentration of PRDs, and addition of plasticizer (dibutyl phthalate) on various film properties was evaluated. The films were also subjected to stability study at 30 °C and 40 °C for 90 days. RESULTS Both D1 and D2 produced smooth and non-porous films with sparfloxacin. The D1 films, due to lower amount of polyethylene glycol 400 in D1, exhibited lower swelling-index, slower degradation, and slower drug release compared to D2 films. An increase in PRDs concentration decreased swelling-index, prolonged degradation time, and decreased drug release rate of films; addition of plasticizer showed the similar effect. At pH 7.6, D1 and D2 films showed complete degradation at the end of 58 and 51 days, respectively. At the end of 21 days, D1 and D2 films released 41.85% and 61.53% sparfloxacin, respectively. The drug release from D1 films followed Higuchi square-root kinetics, while D2 films released drug by the zero order kinetics. The stability conditions did not significantly alter PRDs-film properties. CONCLUSION Results revealed that PRDs can be used successfully to produce sustained-release antibacterial films containing sparfloxacin for the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Melatonin (MLT) could be candidate drug for treatment of several diseases because of its high antioxidant and anticarcinogenic activity and its important biological roles. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of different vehicles on the permeation of MLT through buccal and skin tissues. METHODS Formulations were characterized in terms of rheology, drug release and permeation through human skin as well as porcine buccal mucosa. Irradiation experiments were also performed. RESULTS The lowest amount of MLT released was from oral adhesive paste Orabase® (OB) and the highest from the emulsion system Montanov® 68 (M68). Skin permeation revealed high pattern for Carbopol® 940 (C940) and M68, and poor for poloxamer 407 (P407) and Pluronic® lecithin organogel (PLO). Statistical differences of MLT remaining in skin between M68 vs C940 (p < 0.05) and M68 vs PLO (p < 0.05) were observed. Transmucosal results showed that sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) was the best and OB the worst vehicle. P407 and PLO followed similar behaviour. Photostability studies revealed high percentage of degradation of MLT in solution which was also similar when was loaded in OB. The rest of formulations showed low rates of degradation. CONCLUSIONS C940 or M68 and NaCMC can be proposed as formulations for a potential systemic effect of MLT by skin and buccal mucosa routes, respectively. However, if the intended objective is to obtain local action in the skin and buccal mucosa, the proposed formulations are M68 or P407 and PLO.

Abstract
Biocompatibility testing is used to evaluate the host response to implantable materials and to assess their ability to perform in applications in which they are intended to interact with biological systems. In compliance with international and/or national standards, such assessment is based mainly on the results of experimental implantation into animal tissues. However, the development of in vitro experimental techniques creates new opportunities to observe and to understand the interaction of biomaterials with host tissue. The state-of-the-art application of alternative methods in biocompatibility testing is presented in this review article. It is discussed with respect to the Three Rs concept (reduction, refinement, replacement) of Russell & Burch. Perspectives on alternative methods in biocompatibility studies are discussed with regard to the possible role of biomaterials in tissue engineering.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the present work was to explore the development of a dual-controlled release periodontal system of a potent broad spectrum first-generation fluoroquinolone, ciprofloxacin, and the anti-inflammatory enzyme serratiopeptidase (STP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Based on 3(2) full factorial design, thermoreversible periodontal sols capable of controlled dual delivery of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride and STP were designed using pluronic F127 and carbopol 934P as thermosensitive gelling polymers. Sol gel transition characteristics, %cumulative drug release at 48(th) h and exvivo mucoadhesive strength were designated as dependent responses. The sols were mucoadhesive, syringeable, and inverted into gels at simulated periodontal cavity temperature. RESULTS F9 with optimal drug release was identified as the best formulation. Extra design check point generated using Design Expert software 8.02 (Stat-Ease, USA) validated the experimental design. Textural analysis revealed that the developed sols were syringeable and spreadable enough for periodontal treatment so it can be expected that hardness and compressibility of sols would pose no problem during clinical application. The in vitro release behavior exhibited controlled release of both cipro HCl and STP (>90% release). CONCLUSION A dual-controlled release thermoreversible periodontal sol of ciproflaxin and STP was successfully developed. Incorporation of STP as anti-inflammatory agent has the potential of developing a therapeutically efficacious system of cipro HCl for treatment of periodontal inflammatory anaerobic infections.

Abstract
Dielectric properties of PAA-g-PEO-7% solutions with different counterions were measured as a function of concentration and temperature over a frequency range of 40 Hz to 110 MHz. After the contribution of electrode polarization effects was subtracted, the dielectric spectra of PAA-g-PEO-7% solutions showed three relaxation processes in the experimental frequency range, named low-, mid-, and high-frequency relaxation. The observed three relaxations were strictly analyzed by using the Cole-Cole relaxation function, and the dielectric parameters (dielectric increment Δε and the relaxation time τ) were obtained. The scaling relation of dielectric increment and relaxation time of high frequency with concentration C(p) were obtained and compared with the predictions of scaling theories. The information on the dynamics and microstructure of PAA-g-PEO-7% was obtained. Using different counterion species, the mid- and high-frequency relaxation mechanisms were attributed to the fluctuation of condensed counterions and free counterions, respectively, and the low-frequency relaxation was considered to be caused by the interface polarization of a complex formed by the hydrogen bonding between carboxylic group of PAA and ether oxygen on the side-chain PEO. In addition, by means of Eyring equation, the thermodynamic parameters, enthalpy change ΔH and entropy change ΔS, of the three relaxations were calculated from the relaxation time and discussed from the microscopic thermodynamical view.

Abstract
Carbamazepine (CBZ) is an antiepileptic orally administered drug, but due to its low solubility in water, its gastrointestinal absorption is slow and irregular, leading to delayed brain uptake with consequent peripheral side actions. The objective of this study was the brain targeting of CBZ via the olfactory mucosa in form of an intranasal mucoadhesive o/w nanoemulgel (MNEG). CBZ was formulated in a nanoemulgel system containing oleic acid/labrasol in a ratio of 1:5 as oil/surfactant and 0.1% xanthan gum as anionic mucoadhesive polymer. The prepared MNEG was characterized with respect to oil droplet size, mucoadhesion, in-vitro release of the drug and CBZ uptake by phosphatidylcoline liposomes as an in-vitro model for olfactory cells. The anticonvulsant action of nasal MNEG was studied on chemically and electrically induced convulsive Swiss Albino mice. The in-vitro release of CBZ from MNEG was very low, however CBZ uptake via liposomal membrane reached 65% within 1 hr. Treatment of animals with MNEG significantly prolonged the onset times for convulsion of chemically convulsive mice and protected the animals from two electric shocks. One can thus spire and hope for the emergence of a new intranasal treatment of epilepsy with consequent decrease in the peripheral side actions of CBZ.

Abstract
CONTEXT Nanoparticulate systems are new tools that promise a revolution in the field of drug delivery. Among their numerous benefits, polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) have shown to provide a barrier to drug release. OBJECTIVE In this study, PECs, in the form of self-assembled polymeric nanogels, have been studied as potential drug carriers of the freely soluble drug tramadol HCL trying to achieve a prolonged percutaneous permeation. METHODOLOGY The hydrogels were subjected to swelling, rheology, release and permeation studies and were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS P2 hydrogel composed of chitosan-carrageenan (1-1) PEC attained the most compromised rheological shear-thinning thixotropic behavior, good bioadhesive properties, the most retarded release and permeation with an f2 value <50 compared to chitosan hydrogel, altogether with non-irritancy to the skin. SEM photographs showed that P2 has spherical nanosized particles structure. CONCLUSION This approach can provide us promising results for an around-the-clock analgesia with better safety and tolerability profile.

Abstract
In this study, polymeric dispersions composed of methylcellulose (MC) and either kappa carrageenan (KC) or iota carrageenan (IC) were proposed as a platform for transscleral delivery of macromolecules. The additive effects of the two polymers were investigated using oscillatory rheometer and FT-IR spectroscopy. Mechanical spectra demonstrated a conformation dependent association of the two polymers at 37 °C in the presence of selected counter ions. The polymer association was also confirmed by the shifts in MC peaks at 1049.5, 1114 and 1132.9 cm(-1) in the presence of carrageenans, which corresponds to the stretching vibrations of C-O-C bonds of the polysaccharides. The MC-IC polymeric system displayed the highest bio-adhesion, owing to the relatively high negative charge. However, the MC-IC system did not affect the in-vitro scleral permeability of sodium fluorescein and 10 kDa FITC-dextran. Nonetheless, the formulation properties had a substantial impact on the results of the in-vivo studies. The efficacy of transscleral drug delivery was determined using rats with altered connexin 43 (Cx43) levels, a gap junction protein, in the choroid. Periocular injection of Cx43 antisense oligonucleotides (AsODN) incorporated in the MC-IC system lead to a significant reduction in the Cx43 levels in the choroid of rats at 24 h of treatment. AsODN incorporated in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) also demonstrated a trend towards reduced Cx43 levels; however this was not statistically significant owing to great variability between treated animals. Consequently the in-vivo data suggests the transscleral route to be of value in delivering therapeutics to the choroid. Moreover this study identified a new polymeric system based on MC and IC which provides aqueous loading of therapeutics and prolonged retention at the site of administration.

Abstract
Abstract
Pharmaceutical technologists have been working extensively on various mucoadhesive polymeric systems to create an intimate and prolonged contact at the site of administration. Chitosan is one of the most promising polymers because of its non-toxic, polycationic biocompatible, biodegradable nature, and particularly due to its mucoadhesive and permeation enhancing properties. Due to its potential importance in controlled drug delivery applications, pharmaceutical scientists have exploited this mucoadhesive polymer. However, chitosan suffers from limited solubility at physiological pH and causes presystemic metabolism of drugs in intestinal and gastric fluids in the presence of proteolytic enzymes. These inherent drawbacks of chitosan have been overcome by forming derivatives such as carboxylated, various conjugates, thiolated, and acylated chitosan, thus providing a platform for sustained release formulations at a controlled rate, prolonged residence time, improved patient compliance by reducing dosing frequency, enhanced bioavailability and a significant improvement in therapeutic efficacy. We have explored the potential benefits of these improved chitosan derivatives in modern drug delivery.

Abstract
The study evaluated different mucoadhesive polymeric hydrogels for nasal delivery of acyclovir. Gels containing poly-N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (PVP) were prepared with crosslinking achieved by irradiation with a radiation dose of 15 kGy being as efficient as 20 kGy. Gels containing chitosan and carbopol were also evaluated. The mucoadhesive properties of gels were measured by a modification of a classical tensile experiment, employing a tensile tester and using freshly excised sheep nasal mucosa. Considering the mucoadhesive force, chitosan gel and gel prepared with 3% PVP in presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 600 were the most efficient. The in vitro drug release depended on the gel composition. Higher release rates were obtained from PVP gels compared to chitosan or carbopol gels. The release rate of drug from PVP gels was increased further in presence of PEG or glycerol. Histopathological investigations proved that the PVP was a safe hydrogel to be used for mucosal delivery. The PEG in gel formulations caused less damages to the nasal mucosal compared to formulation containing glycerol.

Abstract
The oral mucosal cavity is a feasible, safe, and very attractive site for drug delivery with good acceptance by users. The mucosa is relatively permeable and robust, shows short recovery times after stress or damage, is tolerant to potential allergens, and has a rich blood supply. Moreover, oral mucosal drug delivery bypasses the first-pass effect and avoids presystemic elimination in the gastrointestinal tract. Bioadhesive systems provide intimate contact between a dosage form and the absorbing tissue, which may result in high concentration in a local area and hence high drug flux through the absorbing tissue. The efficacy of oral bioadhesive drug delivery systems is affected by the biological environment and the properties of the polymer and the drug. In the present paper, we review systematically some relevant citations regarding the environment, strategies for oral drug delivery and evaluation, and utilization of the main polymers.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is a localised inflammatory response caused by the infection of a periodontal pocket arising from the accumulation of subgingival plaque. Periodontal disease has been considered as a possible risk factor for other systemic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and pre-term low birth weight infants. Advances in understanding the aetiology, epidemiology and microbiology of periodontal pocket flora have revolutionised the therapeutic strategies for the management of periodontal disease progression. This review summarises the recent developments in the field of intra-pocket drug delivery systems and identifies areas where further research may lead to a clinically effective intra-pocket delivery system.

Abstract
The main objective of this study was to develop a local, oral mucoadhesive metronidazole benzoate (MET) delivery system that can be applied and removed by the patient for the treatment of periodontal diseases. Mucoadhesive micromatricial chitosan/poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (CH/PCL) films and chitosan films were prepared. Thermal behavior, morphology, and particle size measurements were used to evaluate the prepared films. The effect of different molar masses of CH and different ratios of medium Mwt molar mass chitosan (MCH):PCL on water absorption, in vitro bioadhesion, mechanical properties, and in vitro drug release was examined. In vivo performance of the selected formulation was also evaluated. Differential scanning calorimetry examination revealed that MET existed mainly in amorphous form. Under microscopic examination, PCL microparticles were homogeneously dispersed in the films. The use of different molar masses of CH and different ratios of (MCH):PCL affected the size of the entrapped particles. Addition of PCL significantly decreased percentage water uptake and bioadhesion force compared with pure CH film. With regard to mechanical properties, the 2-layered film containing 1:0.625 MCH:PCL had the best tensile properties. At fixed CH:PCL ratio (1:1.25), the slowest drug release was obtained from films containing high molar mass CH. On the other hand, the 2-layered film that consisted of 1:0.625 MCH:PCL had the slowest MET release. In vivo evaluation of the selected film revealed that metronidazole concentration in saliva over 6 hours ranged from 5 to 15 microg/mL, which was within and higher than the reported range of minimum inhibitory concentration for metronidazole. A significant in vitro/in vivo correlation under the adopted experimental conditions was obtained.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of chitosan (CH), a biocompatible polysaccharide, on the flexural strength of glass ionomer restoratives (GIR) and on the release of fluoride ions from GIR. METHODS Commercial GIR (Vidrion, SS White) has been modified by adding chitosan (CH, Fluka). Samples containing 0.0044, 0.012, 0.025 and 0.045wt% CH were prepared, molded and weighed. For flexural strength, sets of 10 specimens 10mmx2mmx2mm of commercial and CH modified GIR were prepared. Differences were analyzed by the one-way analysis of variances (ANOVA) test, at significance level 0.05. The data were also analyzed by post hoc Tukey's HSD for unequal n (Spjotvoll/Stoline) test. Scanning electron microscopy analyses were performed on the composites cryo-fracture surfaces. For the fluoride release tests and medium pH determination, discs with 10mm diameter and 2mm height were prepared in a PTFE mold placed between two glass slides. Samples were weighed in order to normalize each material test group. At least 10 samples of each material were prepared. Approximately 5min after preparation the discs were transferred into individual glass flasks containing 50mL of distilled water. The concentration of released fluoride was determined as a function of time by means of a fluoride ion selective electrode Orion 94-09 SC connected to an Ionanalyser (Orion Research Inc., USA). The medium pH was monitored as a function of time at (25+/-1 degrees C), using a Digimed DM20 potentiometer (Digicrom Instrumentos, Brazil) equipped with a combined glass electrode. Ellipsometric measurements were performed to quantify the thickness of adsorbed polymer (poly(acrylic acid) or the mixture of poly(acrylic acid) with CH). RESULTS The addition of 0.0044wt% of CH led to a significant increase in the flexural resistance. CH contents higher than 0.022wt% led to poor performance. For the same period of time the amount of fluoride ions released from CH modified GIR was much larger than that released from commercial GIR. CH catalyzed the fluoride release from GIR to the medium, especially from those with 0.0044wt% of CH. As a consequence, the medium pH increased from 5.0 to 6.3. A model based on the formation of a polymeric network around the inorganic particles was proposed to explain the experimental findings. The adsorption of CH and poly(acrylic acid) onto planar Si/SiO(2) substrates was quantified and supported the proposed model. SIGNIFICANCE The results presented here showed that the flexural strength of a commercial GIR can be considerably improved by the addition of a tiny amount of CH. Moreover, in the presence of CH, the release of fluoride ions from GIR is catalyzed.

Abstract
This study describes the formulation and characterization of binary interactive polymeric systems, designed as platforms for improved drug delivery to mucosal sites. Binary interactive systems were manufactured containing hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC; 1-5% w/w) and polycarbophil (PC; 1-5% w/w) at pH 7, and their rheological (flow and dynamic), mechanical, and mucoadhesive properties were characterized, both before and after dilution with phosphate buffered saline (designed to mimic dilution by biological fluids). Physical interactions between HEC and PC were confirmed by the observed rheological synergy. Within the binary interactive systems increasing polymer concentration increased the storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G' '), dynamic viscosity (eta'), hardness, compressibility, consistency, and mucoadhesion yet decreased the loss tangent. This was attributed to enhanced entanglements and interactions between adjacent polymer chains. Dilution with PBS altered the above properties; however, the binary interactive systems, particularly those containing higher concentrations of HEC, still exhibited predominantly elastic properties (high G', low tan delta). In light of this, it is suggested that the rheological and mucoadhesive properties of binary interactive systems composed of HEC (5% w/w) and PC (1-3% w/w) offered particular promise as platforms for topical mucosal drug delivery systems.

Abstract
A mucoadhesive microsphere was prepared by an interpolymer complexation and solvent evaporation method, using chitosan and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), to prolong the gastric residence time of the delivery system. The Fourier transform infrared results showed that microspheres were formed by an electrostatic interaction between the carboxyl groups of the PAA and the amine groups of the chitosan. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry analysis showed that the enrofloxacin in the chitosan-PAA microsphere was molecularly dispersed in an amorphous state. Scanning electron microscopy of the surface and the quantity of mucin attached to the microspheres indicated that chitosan-PAA microspheres had a higher affinity for mucin than those of chitosan alone. The swelling and dissolution of the chitosan-PAA microspheres were found to be dependent on the pH of the medium. The rate of enrofloxacin released from the chitosan-PAA microspheres was slower at higher pH; therefore, based on their mucoadhesive properties and morphology, the chitosan-PAA microspheres can be used as a mucoadhesive oral drug delivery system.

Abstract
Chitosan is a biodegradable natural polymer with great potential for pharmaceutical applications due to its biocompatibility, high charge density, non-toxicity and mucoadhesion. It has been shown that it not only improves the dissolution of poorly soluble drugs but also exerts a significant effect on fat metabolism in the body. Gel formation can be obtained by interactions of chitosans with low molecular counterions such as polyphosphates, sulphates and crosslinking with glutaraldehyde. This gelling property of chitosan allows a wide range of applications such as coating of pharmaceuticals and food products, gel entrapment of biochemicals, plant embryo, whole cells, microorganism and algae. This review is an insight into the exploitation of the various properties of chitosan to microencapsulate drugs. Various techniques used for preparing chitosan microspheres and evaluation of these microspheres have also been reviewed. This review also includes the factors that affect the entrapment efficiency and release kinetics of drugs from chitosan microspheres.

Abstract
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) biomaterials with luminescent ruthenium tris(bipyridine) centers couple drug delivery and imaging functions. Hydrophobic [Ru(bpyPLA2)3](PF6)2 (1) was generated from [Ru[bpy(CH2OH)2]3](PF6)2 in bulk monomer using 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine as the catalyst. The bromoesters, [Ru[bpy(CH2OR)2]3](PF6)2, [Ru[bpy(C13H27)2][bpy(CH2OR]2](PF6)2 (4), and [Ru[bpy(PLAOR)2]3]2+ (9) (R=COCBr(CH3)2), served as initiators for tert-butyl acrylate (tBA) polymerization. Conversion of PtBA to PAA via hydrolysis affords water soluble materials, [Ru(bpyPAA2)3]2+ (7) and [Ru[bpy(C13H27)2](bpyPAA2)2]2+ (8) and the amphiphilic star polymer [Ru[bpy(PLA-PAA)2]3)](PF6)2 (11), which is soluble in a H2O/CH3CN (1:1) mixture. Luminescence excitation and emission spectra of the Ru polymers were in agreement with the parent [Ru(bpy)3]2+ chromophore (lambdaex=468, lambdaem=621 nm). Lifetimes of tau approximately 700 ns in both air and nitrogen atmospheres are typical for most materials; however, the amphiphilic star block copolymer 11 is quenched by oxygen to some degree. Thermal analysis shows the expected glass transitions for the polymeric ruthenium complex materials.

Abstract
To develop a new mucoadhesive drug carrier, poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP)/poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) interpolymer complexes were prepared by the template polymerization of acrylic acid using PVP as a template polymer. Fourier transform infrared results showed that the interpolymer complexes were formed by hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl groups of PAA and the carbonyl groups of PVP. The adhesive forces of the PVP/PAA interpolymer complexes were higher than that of commercial Carbopol 971. Moreover, the adhesive force and the release rate can be controlled by changing the mole ratios of PVP and PAA. The release rates of ketoprofen from the PVP/PAA interpolymer complexes showed pH-dependency, and were slower at lower pH. The release rate of ketoprofen from the complex seemed to be mainly controlled by the dissolution rate of the complex above a pK(a) of PAA (4.75) and by the diffusion rate below the pK(a). The prepared complex appears to be an adequate carrier for the mucoadhesive drug delivery system.
