Abstract
Multiple vaccine platforms have been employed to develop the nasal SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in preclinical studies, and the dominating pipelines are viral vectored as protein-based vaccines. Among them, several viral vectored-based vaccines have entered clinical development. Nevertheless, some unsatisfactory results were reported in these clinical studies. In the face of such urgent situations, it is imperative to rapidly develop the next-generation intranasal COVID-19 vaccine utilizing other technologies. Nanobased intranasal vaccines have emerged as an approach against respiratory infectious diseases. Harnessing the power of nanotechnology, these vaccines offer a noninvasive yet potent defense against pathogens, including the threat of COVID-19. The improvements made in vaccine mucosal delivery technologies based on nanoparticles, such as lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles etc., not only provide stability and controlled release but also enhance mucosal adhesion, effectively overcoming the limitations of conventional vaccines. Hence, in this review, we overview the evaluation of intranasal vaccine and highlight the current barriers. Next, the modern delivery systems based on nanoplatforms are summarized. The challenges in clinical application of nanoplatform based intranasal vaccine are finally discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Transdermal drug delivery (TDD) is becoming more recognized as a noninvasive method particularly suitable for vulnerable populations. TDD offers an alternative to oral drug delivery, bypassing issues related to poor absorption and metabolism. However, the application of TDD is limited to a few drugs due to the skin's barrier. Various techniques, including passive methods like nanoparticles (NPs), are being explored to enhance drug permeability through the skin. AREAS COVERED This review shows the benefit of incorporating inorganic NPs with TDD in improving drug delivery through the skin. Despite the potential of these techniques, there are currently only a few research studies that utilize them. This review addresses the scarcity of research incorporating inorganic NPs with TDD. It also aims to summarize both inorganic NPs and TDD in the pharmaceutical industry, highlighting the advantages of incorporating these novel drug delivery systems with each other. EXPERT OPINION Given the potential benefits of incorporating inorganic NPs into TDD systems, there is a need for increased research and attention in this area. The review encourages scientists to address the existing research gap and explore the advantages of combining these innovative drug delivery systems to advance the field.

Abstract
Introduction: With its numerous practical applications, the usage of nanotechnology in the medical profession has been a godsend in our modern technological era. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a semiconducting metal oxide with superior inherent qualities which can be utilized in various applications across various fields. Taking into account all of the above information, the current study focused on the mechanism of action of TiO2 nanoparticles mediated by clove and ginger herbal formulations against Lactobacillus species. Materials and Methods: Extract of clove and ginger herbal formulation-mediated TiO2 nanoparticles was obtained with acetone in the ratio of 10:1, yielding 9 mg/mL. After overnight incubation and further serial dilutions, the solution was introduced into microplate wells with cultured Lactobacillus species for 4 hours. A 5% of test solution was added into Kimble tubes containing Muller-Hinton broth along with the plant extract, followed by recording of minimum inhibitory concentrations at certain time intervals. The number of samples used for each concentration was 4 using the convenience method. The grouping sample was 3, i.e. test group, antibiotic and positive control group. The results were statistically analysed following one-way analysis of variances using SPSS software version 22. Result: Optical density determines the degree of scattering of light that is produced by a bacterium within a culture plate. The more the bacteria, the more the light is scattered. The results ( P < .005) show that as the concentration increases, the value of optical density decreases which proves that there occurs a bactericidal process that results in the reduced bacterial count. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that TiO2 nanoparticles enhanced with clove and ginger might be used as an antibacterial agent against Lactobacillus species.

Abstract
Many recent studies focus on the pulmonary delivery of vaccines as it is needle-free, safe, and effective. Inhaled vaccines enhance systemic and mucosal immunization but still faces many limitations that can be resolved using polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs). This review focuses on the use of properties of PNPs, specifically chitosan and PLGA to be used in the delivery of vaccines by inhalation. It also aims to highlight that PNPs have adjuvant properties by themselves that induce cellular and humeral immunogenicity. Further, different factors influence the behavior of PNP in vivo such as size, morphology, and charge are discussed. Finally, some of the primary challenges facing PNPs are reviewed including formulation instability, reproducibility, device-related factors, patient-related factors, and industrial-level scale-up. Herein, the most important variables of PNPs that shall be defined in any PNPs to be used for pulmonary delivery are defined. Further, this study focuses on the most popular polymers used for this purpose.

Abstract
The ideal drug delivery system has a bioavailability comparable to parenteral dosage forms but is as convenient and easy to use for the patient as oral solid dosage forms. In recent years, there has been increased interest in transdermal drug delivery (TDD) as a non-invasive delivery approach that is generally regarded as being easy to administer to more vulnerable age groups, such as paediatric and geriatric patients, while avoiding certain bioavailability concerns that arise from oral drug delivery due to poor absorbability and metabolism concerns. However, despite its many merits, TDD remains restricted to a select few drugs. The physiology of the skin poses a barrier against the feasible delivery of many drugs, limiting its applicability to only those drugs that possess physicochemical properties allowing them to be successfully delivered transdermally. Several techniques have been developed to enhance the transdermal permeability of drugs. Both chemical (e.g., thermal and mechanical) and passive (vesicle, nanoparticle, nanoemulsion, solid dispersion, and nanocrystal) techniques have been investigated to enhance the permeability of drug substances across the skin. Furthermore, hybrid approaches combining chemical penetration enhancement technologies with physical technologies are being intensively researched to improve the skin permeation of drug substances. This review aims to summarize recent trends in TDD approaches and discuss the merits and drawbacks of the various chemical, physical, and hybrid approaches currently being investigated for improving drug permeability across the skin.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15020149. [PMID: 35215259 PMCID: PMC8875436 DOI: 10.3390/ph15020149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Revised: 01/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
A new system composed of chitosan nanoparticles loaded with methotrexate (MTX-CS-NPs) and functionalized with photocatalytic TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) was prepared. This system is expected to initiate polymeric rupture of MTX-CS-NPs and subsequently release MTX, upon illumination with UV light. MTX-CS-NPs were prepared and characterized in terms of particle size, charge, polydispersity and drug release before and after coating with TiO2-NPs. The release of MTX in vitro was studied in dark, light and UV light. Finally, coated and uncoated MTX-CS-NPs were studied in vitro using MCF-7 cell line. The functionalized NPs were larger in size, more polydisperse and carried higher positive charges compared to the unfunctionalized NPs. The entrapment efficacy was high reaching 75% and was not affected by coating with MTX-CS-NPs. Further, less than 5% of methotrexate was released after 80 h from uncoated NPs and the release was not enhanced by UV illumination of the particles. In contrast, the release from functionalized NPs was enhanced, reaching 40% after 80 h, as the particles were stroked with UV light and as the amount of TiO2-NPs used in coating increased. Finally, coating the MTX-CS-NPs with TiO2-NPs significantly enhanced their cytotoxicity on MCF-7 cells. The coated MTX-CS-NPs recorded low cell viabilities compared to the other formulations. In conclusion, the drug release of MTX-CS-NPs could be triggered and controlled remotely by coating with TiO2-NPs, which maybe more effective in cancer treatment.
