Preparation and in vitro evaluation of melatonin-loaded HA/PVA gel formulations

Abstract: Melatonin-loaded hyaluronic acid (HA) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) gels were prepared by using freeze-thaw technique and an emulsion method followed by freeze-thaw technique to produce a new synergistic system for topical application. Freeze-thaw hydrogels and emulgels were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, rheology and swelling tests. The porous structure of the hydrogels was shown by scanning electron microscopy observations and thermal properties were tested by differential… Show more

“…The first successful use for periodontal disease topical treatment was proved by Pagnacco and co-workers in 1997, in a clinical trial vs placebo, exploring the antiinflammatory, anti-edematous, and anti-bacterial effects of HA [45]. Moreover, high level of natural HA are present in serum all fluid samples examined of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), regarded as a serum-derived product, but absent in GCF samples from patients with acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis [10]. It reappears after effective antibacterial treatment with consequently reducing the bacterial hyaluronidase activity [11], proving that HA could be considered as marker for active disease [12].…”

“…A significant number of clinical studies were performed using either hyaluronic acid (HA) or melatonin (MEL) as adjunctive therapy after scaling and root planning (SRP) in periodontal compromise patients. But the effect of combining MEL and HA in a complex active compound was insufficient investigated [9,10].…”

“…Hydrogels with their three-dimensional, polymeric network have found numerous applications due to their unique properties, such as high water content, softness, flexibility, biocompatibility and ease of preparation. [8][9][10] Mucoadhesive hydrogels have been shown to prolong both the retention times on the mucosal area and the drug release. 11,12 The present paper deals with the preparation and characterization of interpolymeric complexes based on alginate and chitosan that can be used as carrier of Nystatin in mucosal delivery.…”

“…However, a more compact structure with smaller pore size was observed on the HA-added poloxamer gel, which may reflect the strong interaction between HA and poloxamer micelles. The compact porous structure also explains the high swelling rate of P407/HA gels which was observed in the first 3 hours during the gel dissolution [38]. This finding not only provides a good explanation of the slower erosion of P407/HA gels, but also reveals the strong physical interactions between the two polymers [39].…”
