RESUMO

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) have found wide applications in medical and industrial fields. However, the toxic effect of various tissues is still under study. In this study, we evaluated the toxic effect of TiO2-NP on stomach, liver, and kidney tissues and the amelioration effect of clove oil nanoemulsion (CLV-NE) against DNA damage, oxidative stress, pathological changes, and the apoptotic effect of TiO2-NPs. Four groups of male mice were subjected to oral treatment for five consecutive days including, the control group, the group treated with TiO2-NPs (50 mg/kg), the group treated with (CLV-NE) (5% of the MTD), and the group treated with TiO2-NPs plus CLV-NE. The results revealed that the treatment with TiO2-NPs significantly caused DNA damage in the liver, stomach, and kidney tissues due to increased ROS as indicated by the reduction of the antioxidant activity of SOD and Gpx and increased MDA level. Further, abnormal histological signs and apoptotic effect confirmed by the significant elevation of p53 expression were reported after TiO2-NPs administration. The present data reported a significant improvement in the previous parameters after treatment with CLV-NE. These results showed the collaborative effect of the oils and the extra role of nanoemulsion in enhancing antioxidant effectiveness that enhances its disperse-ability and further promotes its controlled release. One could conclude that CLV-NE is safe and can be used as a powerful antioxidative agent to assess the toxic effects of the acute use of TiO2-NPs.

RESUMO

The foremost target of the current work was to formulate and optimize a novel bergamot essential oil (BEO) loaded nano-phytosomes (NPs) and then combine it with spironolactone (SP) in order to clinically compare the efficiency of both formulations against acne vulgaris. The BEO-loaded NPs formulations were fabricated by the thin-film hydration and optimized by 32 factorial design. NPs' assessments were conducted by measuring entrapment efficiency percent (EE%), particle size (PS), polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential (ZP). In addition, the selected BEO-NPs formulation was further combined with SP and then examined for morphology employing transmission electron microscopy and three months storage stability. Both BEO-loaded NPs selected formula and its combination with SP (BEO-NPs-SP) were investigated clinically for their effect against acne vulgaris after an appropriate in silico study. The optimum BEO-NPs-SP showed PS of 300.40 ± 22.56 nm, PDI of 0.571 ± 0.16, EE% of 87.89 ± 4.14%, and an acceptable ZP value of -29.7 ± 1.54 mV. Molecular modeling simulations showed the beneficial role of BEO constituents as supportive/connecting platforms for favored anchoring of SP on the Phosphatidylcholine (PC) interface. Clinical studies revealed significant improvement in the therapeutic response of BEO-loaded NPs that were combined with SP over BEO-NPs alone. In conclusion, the results proved the ability to utilize NPs as a successful nanovesicle for topical BEO delivery as well as the superior synergistic effect when combined with SP in combating acne vulgaris.

RESUMO

Fenticonazole nitrate (FTN) is a potent antifungal drug adopted in the treatment of vaginal candidiasis. It has inadequate aqueous solubility hence, novel ultra-deformable liposomes 'Terpesomes' (TPs) were developed that might prevail over FTN poor solubility besides TPs might abstain the obstacles of mucus invasion. TPs were assembled by thin-film hydration then optimized by Box Behnken design utilizing terpenes ratio (X1), sodium deoxycholate amount (X2), and ethanol concentration (X3) as independent variable, whereas their impact was inspected for entrapment efficiency (Y1), particle size (Y2), and polydispersity index (Y3). Design Expert® was bestowed to select the optimal TP for more studies. The optimal TP had entrapment efficiency of 62.18 ± 1.39%, particle size of 310.00 ± 8.16 nm, polydispersity index of 0.20 ± 0.10, and zeta potential of -10.19 ± 0.2.00 mV. Elasticity results were greater in the optimal TP related to classical bilosomes. Further, ex vivo permeation illustrated tremendous permeability from the optimal TP correlated to classical bilosomes, and FTN suspension. Besides, in vivo assessment displayed significant inhibition effect in rats from FTN-TPs gel compared to FTN gel. The antifungal potency with undermost histopathological variation was detected in rats treated with FTN-TPs gel. Overall, the acquired findings verified the potency of utilizing FTN-TPs gel for treatment of vaginal candidiasis.
