Nebulization of Risedronate Sodium Microspheres for Potential Attenuation of Pulmonary Emphysema: a Promising New Insight of Alveolar Macrophage Apoptosis
AAPS PharmSciTech. 2021 Jul 7;22(5):202. doi: 10.1208/s12249-021-02078-8.ABSTRACTRisedronate sodium (RS) is a potent nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate which is known to induce osteoclast apoptosis. As a drug repurposing approach, the current work explored the potential of nebulizable RS-chitosan (CS) microspheres to induce alveolar macrophage apoptosis. RS-CS microspheres were assessed for lung deposition, cytotoxicity, and cellular uptake percentage in Calu-3 cells. The potential of nebulizable microspheres for treating elastase-induced emphysema in rats was investigated, compared to RS marketed oral tablets®, with resp...

Efficient drug delivery vehicles of environmentally benign nano-fibers comprising bioactive glass/chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol composites
Int J Biol Macromol. 2021 May 18:S0141-8130(21)01054-0. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.05.079. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNano-fiber composites have shown promising potential in biomedical and biotechnological applications. Herein, novel nano-fiber composites constituting a blend of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan (CS) along with different weight ratios of nano-bioactive glass (BG) were prepared by electrospinning. Nano-fibers incorporating 10% (by wt.) of BG were uniform, dense and defect-free with a diameter of 20-125 nm. The model osteoporotic drug (Risedronate sodium) was blended with the electrospinning forming ...
