Oral Candidiasis and Novel Therapeutic Strategies: Antifungals, Phytotherapy, Probiotics, and Photodynamic Therapy

Maria Contaldo et al.

Summary: Oral candidiasis is an opportunistic infection caused by fungi of the genus Candida. The conventional treatment involves antifungal drugs, but drug resistance and non-albicans species have prompted research into alternative therapies, such as phytotherapy and probiotics to rebalance the oral microbiota, as well as antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as a powerful drug-free alternative. However, further studies are needed to determine the most effective compounds, compare the efficacy with conventional treatments, and establish regulated protocols.

Modulation of physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activity of sodium alginate films through the use of chestnut extract and plasticizers

Weronika Janik et al.

Summary: Due to the growing demand for antimicrobial packaging materials, biopolymers have been extensively investigated. In this study, the plasticization efficiency of bio-based plasticizers in sodium alginate compositions containing chestnut extract was examined, along with their effect on film properties. Different plasticizers were compared, and their interactions with the polymer matrix were analyzed. The obtained films exhibited hydrophilic and barrier properties, and those prepared with the proposed plasticizer showed better mechanical and antimicrobial properties.

Oral Cavity and Candida albicans: Colonisation to the Development of Infection

Mrudula Patel

Summary: Candida colonisation in the oral cavity is increased in immunocompromised individuals, leading to the development of oral candidiasis. Various host factors can accelerate the disease process. Candida albicans is the main pathogenic agent due to its ability to form biofilm and hyphae, and produce hydrolytic enzymes and candialysin. Prevention of infection can be achieved through addressing host physiological factors and habits.

Development and characterization of alginate-derived crosslinked hydrogel membranes incorporated with ConA and gentamicin for wound dressing applications.

Gustavo Henrique Rodrigues Vale de Macedo et al.

Summary: This study aimed to develop and characterize alginate-based hydrogel membranes containing ConA and gentamicin for wound dressing applications. The effects of different variables on the macroscopic quality of the membranes were evaluated, and the samples with the best quality were selected for the incorporation of ConA and gentamicin. The antimicrobial activity, as well as the morphological, mechanical and physicochemical characteristics of the membranes, were investigated.

Mucoadhesive carriers for oral drug delivery

Raj Kumar et al.

Summary: Oral medicine has benefits such as ease of administration and patients' compliance, but many drugs cannot be taken orally due to their physicochemical properties. Mucoadhesive formulations show potential for improving oral drug retention and absorption for targeted treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.

Sodium alginate and alginic acid as pharmaceutical excipients for tablet formulation: Structure-function relationship

Noelia M. Sanchez-Ballester et al.

Summary: Alginic acid and its sodium salt are widely used pharmaceutical excipients in solid oral dosage forms, but their high variability requires a thorough understanding of the structure-property relationship to achieve high-quality and consistent drug products. Compaction studies have shown the relationship between the structure of alginates and their mechanical and dissolution performances, while different analytical methods help determine the major factors affecting the behavior of alginates in direct compression.Various strategies have been discussed to improve the properties of alginic acid as a direct compression excipient.

Formulation and Characterization of Alginate-Based Membranes for the Potential Transdermal Delivery of Methotrexate

Dorothea Bajas et al.

Summary: The study aims to assess and select the most suitable alginate-based membrane for controlled release of methotrexate, through various analyses and experiments. Results indicate that membranes made from alginate/alginate and polyvinylpyrrolidone are suitable for drug release, while the alginate and carbopol membrane is not homogeneous and thus not appropriate for the task. Interactions between the AGP-MTX membrane and the active substance were observed, indicating potential issues with carboxylate group interactions and interactions in aqueous medium.

Poly (caprolactone)/sodium-alginate-functionalized halloysite clay nanotube nanocomposites: Potent biocompatible materials for wound healing applications

Sabia Kouser et al.

Summary: In this study, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were functionalized with sodium alginate and incorporated into poly(caprolactone) (PCL) to fabricate nanocomposite films for potential wound healing applications. The films exhibited enhanced thermal and mechanical properties, along with good cytocompatibility and fibroblast cell migration capabilities. The results suggest that the synthesized nanocomposite films hold promise for effective wound healing applications.

Oral Candidal Colonization in Patients with Different Prosthetic Appliances

Maja Kinkela Devcic et al.

Summary: In this study, Candida spp. was found to be predominant among denture wearers, with C.albicans being the most frequently detected species. Patients with PMMA-based removable prosthetic appliances showed a significant decrease in salivation, an increase in burning sensations, and dry mouth compared to those with Co-Cr metallic frameworks. Different materials used for dentures may lead to various oral symptoms and conditions. Regular dental check-ups are essential to prevent the development of oral lesions.
