Abstract
Mimosa pudica (MP) is an ornamental plant due to seismonastic movements that close leaves and fall petioles in response to touch, wind, light, heat, cold, and vibration. The seeds of MP secrete smart, biocompatible, and non-toxic mucilage that has captivated researchers due to its widespread use in various fields such as pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. The mucilage is responsive to pH, salt solutions, and solvents and acts as a binder in tablet formulations for targeted drug delivery. The mucilage is chemically modifiable via acetylation, succinylation, and graft polymerization. Chemically modified MP mucilage appeared supersorbent for heavy metal ion uptake. Nanoparticles synthesized using mucilage as a reducing and capping agent displayed significant antimicrobial and wound-healing potential. Crosslinking of mucilage using citric acid as a crosslinking agent offers a sustained release of drugs. The present review is aimed to discuss extraction optimization, structure, modification, and the stimuli-responsive nature of mucilage. The review article will cover the potential of mucilage as emulsifying, suspending, bio-adhesive, gelling, and thickening agent. The role of mucilage as a capping and reducing agent for nanoparticles will also be discussed.

Abstract
Sugarcane bagasse-derived nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), a type of cellulose with a fibrous structure, is potentially used in the pharmaceutical field. Regeneration of this cellulose using a green process offers a more accessible and less ordered cellulose II structure (amorphous cellulose; AmC). Furthermore, the preparation of cross-linked cellulose (NFC/AmC) provides a dual advantage by building a structural block that could exhibit distinct mechanical properties. 3D aerogel scaffolds loaded with risedronate were prepared in our study using NFC or cross-linked cellulose (NFC/AmC), then combined with different concentrations of chitosan. Results proved that the aerogel scaffolds composed of NFC and chitosan had significantly improved the mechanical properties and retarded drug release compared to all other fabricated aerogel scaffolds. The aerogel scaffolds containing the highest concentration of chitosan (SC-T3) attained the highest compressive strength and mean release time values (415 ± 41.80 kPa and 2.61 ± 0.23 h, respectively). Scanning electron microscope images proved the uniform highly porous microstructure of SC-T3 with interconnectedness. All the tested medicated as well as unmedicated aerogel scaffolds had the ability to regenerate bone as assessed using the MG-63 cell line, with the former attaining a higher effect than the latter. However, SC-T3 aerogel scaffolds possessed a lower regenerative effect than those composed of NFC only. This study highlights the promising approach of the use of biopolymers derived from agro-wastes for tissue engineering.

Human beta defensin-2 loaded PLGA nanoparticles impregnated in collagen-chitosan composite scaffold for the management of diabetic wounds. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 161:114540.

Abstract
Diabetic wound (DW) is the most devastating complication resulting in significant mortality and morbidity in diabetic patients. The standard treatment of DW care fails to address the prerequisites of treating DW owing to its multifactorial pathophysiology. Henceforth, developing a single treatment strategy to handle all the loopholes may effectively manage DW. The objective of the current study was to formulate Human beta defensin-2 (HBD-2) loaded Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticle impregnated in collagen/chitosan (COL-CS) composite scaffolds for the accelerated healing of DW. Upon investigation, the developed biodegradable crosslinked scaffold possesses low matrix degradation, optimum porosity, and sustained drug release than the non-crosslinked scaffold. In vitro studies revealed that the HBD-2 COL-CS scaffold was biocompatible and accelerated cell migration and angiogenesis. The HBD-2 COL-CS scaffold showed significant antimicrobial activity in S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa. The in vivo studies revealed that the HBD-2 COL-CS treated group accelerated healing compared to those in COL-CS and control groups. The ELISA results indicated a significant decrease in MMP-9, TNF-α, MPO, NAG, and NO with an increase in IL-10 in HBD-2 COL-CS treated group. The accelerated healing in HBD-2 COL-CS treated group might be due to the synergistic effects of PLGA (collagen synthesis and deposition and positive angiogenic effect), HBD-2 (anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, positive angiogenic effect, cell proliferation, and migration), COL (established wound healer and stabilizer) and CS (antibacterial, controlled drug release).

Abstract
The pharmaceutical application of biomaterials has attained a great success. Rapid wound healing is an important goal for many researchers. Hence, this work deals with the development of nanocellulose crystals/lipid nanogels loaded with ofloxacin (OFX) to promote skin repair while inhibiting bacterial infection. Ofloxacin-loaded hybridized nanocellulose/lipid nanogels (OFX-HNCNs) were prepared and evaluated adopting a computational method based on regression analysis. The optimized nanogels (OFX-HNCN7) showed a spherical outline with an encapsulation efficiency (EE), particle size (PS) and zeta potential (ZP) values of 97.53 ± 1.56%, 200.2 ± 6.74 nm and -26.4 ± 0.50 mV, respectively, with an extended drug release profile. DSC examination of OFX-HNCN7 proved the amorphization of the encapsulated drug into the prepared OFX-HNCNs. Microbiological studies showed the prolonged inhibition of bacterial growth by OFX-HNCN7 compared to the free drug. The cytocompatibility of OFX-HNCN7 was proved by Sulforhodamine B assay. Tissue repair was evaluated using the epidermal scratch assay based on cell migration in human skin fibroblast cell line, and the results depicted that cell treated with OFX-HNCN7 showed a faster and more efficient healing compared to the control. In overall, the obtained findings emphasize the benefits of using the eco-friendly bioactive nanocellulose, hybridized with lipid, to prepare a nanocarrier for skin repair.

Abstract
The chemical constituents of Allium sativum (garlic) oil were investigated using the GC/MS technique after silylation, and the presence of several fatty acids and their esters was revealed. The most dominant was 9,12-octadecadienoic acid (linoleic acid), a precursor of arachidonic acid, which is essential for brain development. Garlic oil-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (GCNs) were prepared to enhance its cerebral effects, and to mask its odor and taste. Two-level orthogonal factorial design, followed by regression analysis, was used to study the influence of different formulation variables. GCN3, the formula with the smallest particle size and the highest mucoadhesion, was selected as the optimized one. Transmission electron microscopy showed that GCN3 has a short nanorod-shape outline. We aimed to investigate the influence of orally administered GCN3 compared to the plain garlic oil (GO), on ciprofloxacin-induced (CPX) neurotoxicity in rats and the probable underlying mechanisms. The results show the significantly higher neurological curative effect of GCN3 compared to GO, and its greater antidepression-like and antianxiety-like potential via the alteration of brain neurotransmitter levels and inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways. The histopathological examination showed the higher capability of GCN3 to repair the damage induced by CPX in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus area and substantia nigra brain sections. Similar results were proved immunohistochemically using Cox-2 antibody. The nanoencapsulation of GO represents a promising strategy for brain-targeting.

Abstract
Metronidazole is the drug of choice in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, but the oral therapy can induce several collateral effects. Aim of this work was the development of a vaginal multiparticulate system, loaded with metronidazole, able to improve its residence time allowing a complete drug release. Several kinds of MS were prepared using chitosan dissolved in different organic acids or alginate coated with chitosan. FTIR and DSC analyses were performed to study the interactions between the drug and the polymers, while MS morphology was investigated with optical and electron microscopy. All the formulations were characterized in terms of drug entrapment efficiency, mucoadhesion, swelling capacity and drug release behavior, demonstrating the best results for alginate MS coated with chitosan. The formulations evidenced a complete and rapid release of drug, compared with the commercial form: Zidoval®.The best formulations assayed for antibacterial activity confirmed the suitability of this new formulation for the vaginal treatment of local diseases.
