Int Dent J 2024; 74:365-386. [PMID: 38378400 PMCID: PMC11123522 DOI: 10.1016/j.identj.2024.01.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Propolis is a resinous substance produced naturally by bees, and it consists of the exudates of plants mixed with enzymes, wax, and pollen. Propolis continues to gain considerable scientific interest due to its potential health benefits. The modern-day use of propolis in pharmaceutical preparations, such as toothpastes, mouthwashes, chewable tablets, mucoadhesive gels, and sprays, is increasing. However, the effectiveness of using propolis-containing pharmaceuticals in dentistry is not clear. The present paper aims to review the literature on the dental applications of propolis in preventive dentistry, periodontics, oral medicine, and restorative dentistry and discuss its clinical effectiveness. A literature search was conducted using Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases. In total, 104 studies were included, of which 46 were laboratory studies, 5 animal studies, and 53 human clinical studies. Overall, the laboratory studies revealed a range of antimicrobial effects of propolis on oral pathogens. Clinical investigations of propolis in biofilm and dental caries control as well as adjuvant periodontal therapies reported positive outcomes in terms of plaque control, pathogenic microbial count reduction, and periodontal tissue inflammation control. Additional investigations included the use of propolis for the management of recurrent aphthous stomatitis, oral mucositis, and cavity disinfection after caries removal as well as the development of a range of restorative dental materials. Based on the reported outcomes of the studies, the clinical usage of propolis has potential. However, the majority of the evidence is derived from studies with flaws in their methodological design, making their results and conclusions questionable. As a consequence, properly designed and well-reported clinical studies are required to affirm the effectiveness of propolis for dental applications. Additionally, the safety of propolis and the optimal concentrations and extraction methods for its clinical use warrant further investigation. Utilisation of standardised propolis extracts will help in quality control of propolis-based products and lead to the achievement of reproducible outcomes in research studies.

Dent J (Basel) 2023; 11:162. [PMID: 37504228 PMCID: PMC10378523 DOI: 10.3390/dj11070162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
This systematic review synthesizes the existing evidence in the literature regarding the association of propolis with controlled delivery systems (DDSs) and its potential therapeutic action in dental medicine. Two independent reviewers performed a literature search up to 1 June 2023 in five databases: PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Embase, to identify the eligible studies. Clinical, in situ, and in vitro studies that investigated the incorporation of propolis as the main agent in DDSs for dental medicine were included in this study. Review articles, clinical cases, theses, dissertations, conference abstracts, and studies that had no application in dentistry were excluded. A total of 2019 records were initially identified. After carefully examining 21 full-text articles, 12 in vitro studies, 4 clinical, 1 animal model, and 3 in vivo and in vitro studies were included (n = 21). Relevant data were extracted from the included studies and analyzed qualitatively. The use of propolis has been reported in cariology, endodontics, periodontics, stomatology, and dental implants. Propolis has shown non-cytotoxic, osteoinductive, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Moreover, propolis can be released from DDS for prolonged periods, presenting biocompatibility, safety, and potential advantage for applications in dental medicine.

Abstract
Thermoresponsive polymers have seen extensive use in the development of stimuli-responsive drug formulations for oral, buccal, nasal, ocular, topical, rectal, parenteral, and vaginal routes of administration. Despite their great potential, their use has been limited by various obstacles, such as undesirable high polymer concentration, wide gelation temperature, low gel strength, poor mucoadhesiveness, and short retention. Mucoadhesive polymers have been suggested to improve the mucoadhesive features of thermoresponsive gels, leading to increased drug bioavailability and efficacy. This article highlights the use of in-situ thermoresponsive mucoadhesive hydrogel blends or hybrids that have been developed and assessed in various routes of administration.

Abstract
Thermosensitive bioadhesive formulations can display increased retention time, skin permeation, and improve the topical therapy of many drugs. Acne is an inflammatory process triggered by several factors like the proliferation of the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes. Aiming a new alternative treatment with a natural source, propolis displays great potential due to its antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and healing properties. This study describes the development of bioadhesive thermoresponsive platform with cellulose derivatives and poloxamer 407 for propolis skin delivery. Propolis ethanolic extract (PES) was added to the formulations with sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and poloxamer 407 (Polox). The formulations were characterized as rheology, bioadhesion and mechanical analysis. The selected formulations were investigated as in vitro propolis release, cytotoxicity, ex vivo skin permeation by Fourier Transform Infrared Photoacoustic Spectroscopy, and the activity against P. acnes. Formulations showed suitable sol-gel transition temperature, shear-thinning behavior and texture profile. CMC presence decreased cohesiveness and adhesiveness of formulations. Polox/HPMC/PES system displayed less cytotoxicity, modified propolis release governed by anomalous transport, skin permeation and activity against P. acnes. These results indicate important advantages in the topical treatment of acne and suggest a potential formulation for clinical evaluation.

Mucoadhesive emulgel systems containing curcumin for oral squamous cell carcinoma treatment: From pre-formulation to cytotoxicity in tissue-engineering oral mucosa. Eur J Pharm Sci 2020; 151:105372. [PMID: 32450222 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2020.105372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2020] [Revised: 04/20/2020] [Accepted: 05/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Current oral squamous cell carcinoma chemotherapies demonstrate off-target toxicity, which could be reduced by local delivery. Curcumin acts via many cellular targets to give anti-cancer properties; however the bioavailability is hindered by its physicochemical characteristics. The incorporation of curcumin into emulgel systems could be a promising approach for its solubilization and delivery. The aim of this work was to develop emulgel systems containing curcumin for the treatment of oral cancer. The emulgels containing curcumin were prepared with poloxamer 407, acrylic acid derivatives, oil phase (sesame oil or isopropyl myristate). The more stable system was evaluated for mechanical and rheological properties, as well as, the in vitro drug release profile, permeation and cytotoxic potential to oral mucosa models. The flow-throw system evidenced that the formulations could keep 5 min over porcine oral mucosa. Emulgel showed pseudoplastic behavior and a gelation temperature of 33 °C, which ensure their higher consistency. In addition, 70% of the incorporated curcumin was released within 24 h in an in vitro drug release study and could permeate porcine oral mucosa. Monolayers cultures and tissue-engineered models showed the selectivity of the drug and systems for tumor cells. The physicochemical properties, subsequent release and permeation of curcumin to selectivity kill cancer cells could be improved by the incorporation into emulgel systems.

Abstract
In this study, a novel pH-sensitive hydrogel beads that is based on gelatin/sodium alginate/chitosan (GEL/SA/CS) loaded with propolis ethanolic extracts (PE) were synthesized. The swelling behavior of GEL/SA/CS hydrogel beads was studied in different pH solutions and compared with unloaded CS (GEL/SA) hydrogel beads. The in vitro release studies have been revealed using four different pH (1.3, 5.0, 6.0, and 6.8), a saliva environment (pH 6.8), a simulated gastric fluid (SGF) (pH 1.3), and a simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) (pH 6.8) to simulate the physiological conditions in gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Propolis-loaded hydrogel beads were found to be stable at pH 1.3, 5.0, 6.0, simulated saliva, SGF, and SIF mediums, whereas the beads lose their stability at pH 6.8 buffer solution. Tested microorganisms displayed greater sensitivity to PE-loaded hydrogel beads compared with pure propolis. Contrary to antimicrobial activity results, antibiofilm activity results of PE-loaded GEL/SA and GEL/SA/CS hydrogel beads were found at low levels. According to the obtained results, the propolis-loaded GEL/SA/CS hydrogel beads synthesized within this study can be used in the treatment of GI tract diseases such as oral mucositis, gastric ulcer, ulcerative colitis, and GI cancer, as controlled releasing carriers of propolis.

Abstract
Mucoadhesive nanostructured systems comprising poloxamer 407 and Carbopol 974P® have already demonstrated good mucoadhesion, as well as improved mechanical and rheological properties. Curcumin displays excellent biological activity, mainly in oral squamous cancer; however, its physicochemical characteristics hinder its application. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop nanostructured formulations containing curcumin for oral cancer therapy. The photophysical interactions between curcumin and the formulations were elucidated by incorporation kinetics and location studies. They revealed that the drug was quickly incorporated and located in the hydrophobic portion of nanometer-sized polymeric micelles. Moreover, the systems displayed plastic behavior with rheopexy characteristics at 37 °C, viscoelastic properties and a gelation temperature of 36 °C, which ensures increased retention after application in the oral cavity. The mucoadhesion results confirmed the previous findings with the nanostructured systems showing a residence time of 20 min in porcine oral mucosa under flow system conditions. Curcumin was released after 8 h and could permeate through the porcine oral mucosa. Cytotoxicity testing revealed that the formulations were selective to cancer cells over healthy cells. Therefore, these systems could improve the physicochemical characteristics of curcumin by providing improved release and permeation, while selectivity targeting cancer cells.

Abstract
This study aimed to prepare and characterize organogels containing microparticles of ascorbic acid (AA) obtained from propolis by-product. The formulations F1 (5% of microparticles) and F2 (10% of microparticles) were evaluated regarding rheological and textural properties, antioxidant and radical scavenging activity, in vitro release and cellular studies. The organogels showed plastic flow behavior and rheopexy. The textural parameters were within acceptable values for semisolid formulations. The antioxidant capacity of organogels F1 and F2 by the DPPH assay demonstrated IC50 ranging from 1523.59 to 1166.97 μg/mL, respectively. For the FRAP assay, the values found were 842.88 and 956.14 μmol of FSE/g formulation, respectively. Good scavenging activity against nitrogen species was observed. The concentration of 63 μg/mL did not present toxicity on HaCaT and HFF-1 cells. In vitro release profile of AA from organogels showed a slow pattern of drug release, mainly for F2. Therefore, the proposed organogel containing AA microparticles with propolis by-product matrix represents a promising platform for topical drug delivery with antioxidant effect.

Abstract
Antibiotic-resistant microorganisms have become a global concern, and the search for alternative therapies is very important. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) consists of the use of a nontoxic photosensitizer (PS), light, and oxygen. This combination produces reactive oxygen species and singlet oxygen, which can alter cellular structures. Methylene blue (MB) is a substance from the phenothiazine class often used as a PS. In this work, to facilitate the PS contact within the wounds, we have used Design of Experiments 2(3) plus central point to develop functional polymeric systems. The formulations were composed by poloxamer 407 [15.0, 17.5, or 20.0% (w/w)], Carbopol 934P [0.15, 0.20, or 0.25% (w/w)], and MB [0.25, 0.50, or 0.75% (w/w)]. The sol-gel transition temperature, flow rheometry, in vitro MB release, and ex vivo study of MB cutaneous permeation and retention were investigated. Moreover, the evaluation of photodynamic activity was also analyzed by in vitro degradation of tryptophan by singlet oxygen and using Artemia salina. The determination of the gelation temperature displayed values within the range of 25-37 °C, and the systems with better characteristics were subjected to rheological analysis and in vitro release profiling. The 20/0.15/0.25 formulation showed the best release profile (42.57% at 24 h). This system displayed no significant skin permeation (0.38% at 24 h), and the photooxidation of tryptophan test showed the production of reactive species of oxygen. The toxicity test using A. salina revealed that the MB associated with the light increased the mortality rate by 61.29%. Therefore, investigating the PDT efficacy of the functional polymeric system containing MB will be necessary in the future.

Abstract
The development of binary polymeric mixtures (polymer blends) containing bioadhesive and thermoresponsive polymers can provide new materials for biomedical applications, with higher contact, increased adhesion, prolonged residence time, protection, and in determined cases, secured absorption of an active agent from the site of application. Mixtures were prepared using a wide range of poloxamer 407 and Carbopol 971P(®) amounts. The rheological (flow and oscillatory), sol-gel transition temperature, mechanical (hardness, compressibility, adhesiveness, cohesiveness and elasticity), softness, and mucoadhesive properties of formulations were investigated. Moreover, the interaction between the different proportions of polymers was also analyzed. Continuous shear and oscillatory rheometry identified the plastic flow with various degrees of thixotropy, besides the viscoelastic behavior of formulations. The determination of gelation temperature displayed values ranged from 27.17 to 41.09°C. It was also found that low carbomer concentrations were enough to provide positive interaction parameter. However, the highest values were obtained for the polymeric blends with higher concentration of poloxamer 407. The mucoadhesion and softness index were greater in preparations containing 20% (w/w) poloxamer 407. The rheological, mechanical and mucoadhesive properties of the polymeric blends can be manipulated by changing the concentrations of the polymers and they suggest the blends are worthy of biomedical applications.

Abstract
AIM The antiviral activities of Artocarpus lakoocha (A. lakoocha) extract have been reported in a number of studies; however, data regarding its antibacterial capability are limited. The aim of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of A. lakoocha extract, poloxamer 407, on Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis). METHODS The effect of the antimicrobial activity of A. lakoocha extract and A. lakoocha extract, poloxamer 407, against E. faecalis was investigated. The antibacterial efficacy of A. lakoocha extract, poloxamer 407, against E. faecalis was compared to calcium hydroxide in a tooth model. RESULTS The minimal inhibitory concentration and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) of A. lakoocha extract against E. faecalis were 0.39 ± 0 mg/mL and 3.12 ± 0 mg/mL, respectively; the MBC of calcium hydroxide against E. faecalis was 31.25 ± 0 mg/mL. In the tooth model, the E. faecalis count in all groups significantly decreased as the depth into the dentin increased compared to the control. There were no significant differences between 4% A. lakoocha extract poloxamer and UltraCal XS at any time period (P > 0.05) with one exception: at a depth of 0.6 mm on day 5, UltraCal XS had a significantly greater colonization than 4% A. lakoocha extract poloxamer. CONCLUSION A. lakoocha extract, poloxamer 407, might be a useful alternative for antimicrobial medication in endodontic treatment. However, controlled clinical studies to evaluate its efficacy are needed.

Abstract
Ethylcellulose microparticles containing metronidazole and propolis extractive solution were prepared and evaluated in vitro against periodontal pathogens. Scanning electron microscopy, particle size analysis, drug entrapment efficiency and drug release of microparticles were determined. The antimicrobial activity of microparticles was evaluated against microorganisms of periodontal importance (Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli). It was obtained particles with regular morphology, mean diameter of 1.23 µm, and entrapment efficiency for propolis and metronidazole were 91.41% and 22.23%, respectively. In vitro release studies of propolis and metronidazole from microparticles showed prolonged drug release and controlled by Fickian diffusion. Both propolis and metronidazole displayed activity against the tested strains. Moreover, the results showed that the strains of E. faecalis, S. pyogenes and S. mutans were more susceptible to the propolis and E. faecalis to the metronidazole. It was also observed that the amount of metronidazole to inhibit the microorganism strains in the physical mixture with propolis was smaller than in the metronidazole alone, suggesting potentiation effect between propolis and metronidazole. These microparticles would be useful for developing intermediary or eventual dosage form to be administered into the periodontal pocket more easily and safely.
