  • Mupirocin Loaded Niosomal Gel for Topical Wound Healing Applications
    Srikrishna Theerdhala, Narayanaswamy Harikrishnan
    Tropical Journal of Natural Product Research, 2023
    Mupirocin-loaded niosomal gel has been developed to enhance the drug deposition for a longer period at the targeted site and sustained the rate of release of the drug. A lipid hydration technique was employed to formulate niosome with polymers Carbopol and Chitosan at various concentrations. Tween 80 is a non-ionic surfactant utilized in the formulation to improve the entrapment efficiency of the drug. Cholesterol is utilized in the formulation to improve vesicle stability and glycerin is a gelling and moistening agent. In addition, to improve the stability of the niosomal gel Methylparaben is also added to the formulation.FTIR and DSC studies are used to find out the compatibility study of the drug and other excipients. The post-evaluation studies confirm that yield percentage lies between 85 - 93%, entrapment efficiency 83 - 97%, drug content lies within the limit of 87 – 98%, pH range matches the skin pH and the obtained range is 6.25 - 7.3. Viscosity and Spreadability show the result within the limit of 410 - 560 cps and 3.8 - 5.4 gcm/s respectively. The post-evaluation study was further subjected to an in-vitro diffusion study. The formulation F5 has shown a better sustained release of active drug (98% at 12hr) which contains a higher ratio of carbopol and tween 80. A higher concentration of tween 80 increases the entrapment efficiency of mupirocin in the niosome and carbopol helps to sustain the release rate to an optimum period as a swellable gelling agent. 
  • Mupirocin niosomal gel with bee honey & curcumin as nano-drug delivery in wound healing applications
    Srikrishna Theerdhala, Narayanaswamy Harikrishnan
    Current Trends in Biotechnology and Pharmacy, 2023
    <p style="text-align: justify;">Wound healing research is still aiming toward complete regeneration and restoration of the skin’s function and structure with the least amount of scarring. Controlled and target-ed medication distribution to wounds is more convenient than systemic administration, which allows for larger drug concentrations to be de-livered to the targeted site over time. The nano wound healing gel demonstrated a dependable administration strategy, excellent local tolerabil-ity, and superior drug delivery methods, which can promote faster healing. Recently, niosome formulations have been developed to reduce toxicity while increasing accumulation at the target site. Curcuma longa (CU) and honey are effective at inhibiting the growth of wound-as-sociated pathogens and hastening the healing process. The wound healing potential activity of mupirocin-loaded niosomal gel formulated with honey and curcumin, as well as their blends, by ether injection method and investigated for fur-ther studies. FTIR and DSC study reveals the compatibility of the drug and other excipients. In the case of post-approval study the param-eters evaluated are entrapment efficiency, drug content, pH, viscosity, spreadability, SEM, in-vi-tro drug release study, release kinetic study, stability study, and in-vivo wound healing study followed by histopathological study. This study aimed to create an excision wound model in al-bino rats and compare it to a commercially avail-able ointment (Mupicip by Cipla). The blended formulation (Formulation F7) was administered twice daily, and the wound healing effect was determined by the highest percentage of wound contraction, epithelisation period, and histoar-chitecture studies. The obtained results con-cluded that formulation F7 is considered as best formulation and has shown a higher percentage of wound contraction 99.08%. The histological study also confirms that formulation F7 pro-motes faster wound healing.</p>
  • Recent advancement in Nano-drug delivery for Topical Wound Healing
    Srikrishna T., Harikrishnan N.
    Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology, 2022
    Advanced technology is needed for quicker and better wound healing management by minimizing infection, keeping moisturizing the wound surface, speeding up tissue growth, and reducing infection at the specific area. The advancement of drug delivery in nano form is gradually increasing and shows a greater response towards healing wounds. The drug's in nano shape potential to hold the drug and facilitate rapid targeted effect in tissue growth and repair. Research outcomes confirm that shortcomings of the traditional form of dosage may be revived by nanomedicine because of its better target-specific application for wound treatment. The present analysis concentrated on further growth and applicants for medications in nano form targeting to accelerate healing of wound treatments for a different wound style. The latest development in nanomedicine has been created by different researchers in the shape of nanoparticles, niosomes, dendrimers, nanosomes, hydrogels, liposomes, and micelles, etc. which emphasize clinical value and provide better therapeutic benefits. Past few years significant development has been observed on nanomedicines to satisfy the clinical needs for chronic and wounds that are diabetic. The occurrence of wounds nonhealing gradually increasing which affects the patient mentally and financially. This current review article summarized with latest developments within the area of nanomedicine, which dramatically expanded its clinical value towards wound healing.
