Topical Application of Dexamethasone-Loaded Core-Multishell Nanocarriers Against Oral Mucosal Inflammation. Macromol Biosci 2024:e2400286.

Abstract
Topical treatment of oral inflammatory diseases is challenging due to the intrinsic physicochemical barriers of the mucosa and the continuous flow of saliva, which dilute drugs and limit their bioavailability. Nanocarrier technology can be an innovative approach to circumvent these problems and thus improve the efficacy of topical drug delivery to the mucosa. Core-multishell (CMS) nanocarriers are putative delivery systems with high biocompatibility and the ability to adhere to and penetrate the oral mucosa. Ester-based CMS nanocarriers release the anti-inflammatory compound dexamethasone (Dx) more efficiently than a conventional cream. Mussel-inspired functionalization of a CMS nanocarrier with catechol further improves the adhesion of the nanocarrier and may enhance the efficacy of the loaded drugs. In the present study, the properties of the ester-based CMS 10-E-15-350 nanocarrier (CMS-NC) are further evaluated in comparison to the catechol-functionalized variant (CMS-C0.08). While the mucoadhesion of CMS-NC is inhibited by saliva, CMS-C0.08 exhibits better mucoadhesion in the presence of saliva. Due to the improved adhesion properties, CMS-C0.08 loaded with dexamethasone (Dx-CMS-C0.08) shows a better anti-inflammatory effect than Dx-CMS-NC when applied dynamically. These results highlight the superiority of CMS-C0.08 over CMS-NC as an innovative drug delivery system (DDS) for the treatment of oral mucosal diseases.

Irradiation of human oral mucosa by 233 nm far UV-C LEDs for the safe inactivation of nosocomial pathogens. Sci Rep 2023; 13:22391. [PMID: 38104221 PMCID: PMC10725486 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-49745-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
The inactivation of multi resistant pathogens is an important clinical need. One approach is UV-C irradiation, which was previously not possible in vivo due to cytotoxicity. Recently, far UV-C irradiation at λ < 240 nm was successfully used on skin with negligible damage. A potential application site is the nasal vestibule, where MRSA accumulates and cannot be treated using antiseptics. We irradiated 3D mucosa models and excised human mucosa with 222 and 233 nm far UV-C in comparison to 254 nm and broadband UV-B. Eradication efficiency was evaluated by counting colony forming units; irritation potential was evaluated by hen's egg-chorioallantoic membrane assay and trans epithelial electrical resistance; cell viability was assessed by MTT. DNA damage and cell protective mechanisms were evaluated immunohistopathologically. On mucosa models, MRSA reduced by ≈ 5 log10 for 60 mJ/cm2 irradiation at 233 nm. A slightly increased cell viability was observed after 24 h. Lower doses showed lower irritation potential than the positive controls or commercial mouthwash, while 80 mJ/cm2 had strong irritation potential. DNA damage occurred only superficially and decreased after 24 h. On excised human mucosa, < 10% of keratinocytes were affected after 150 mJ/cm2 222 nm or 60 mJ/cm2 233 nm.
