Polymeric nanoparticles are beneficial in severe fungal infections, know how it works

Polymeric nanoparticles can prove to be beneficial for patients suffering from asthma, cystic fibrosis or lung disease, HIV, cancer or those who are exposed to corticosteroid drugs for a long time. This has been proved in recent research.

Polymeric Nanoparticles

Polymeric nanoparticles are a good option for controlling the effect of drugs. The use of polymeric nanoparticles has proven to be very effective. Azole drugs used today cure the infection. However, resistance to existing antifungal drugs is a matter of concern and hence there is a need for better methods of drug delivery. So that it can prove effective in treating infections.

Department of Science and Technology Report

The Department of Science and Technology (DST), an autonomous body, has claimed that the nanoparticles were found to inhibit the growth of Aspergillus spp. and form a layer on Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus fumigatus, which fights against the fungal infection called aspergillosis.

The nanoformulation was found to be free from cytotoxic and hemolytic effects. The ARI team has proved effective in developing inhalation nanoformulations against pulmonary aspergillosis. The research, conducted under the leadership of Kamal Mayattu, was published in the journal Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C.

There is hope for further expanding the scope of antifungal nano formulations and the possibility of public-private partnerships for commercialization in the future. Polymeric nanoparticles are nanoscale sized objects made from polymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA), which are used in in vitro delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents, as well as in many additional biomedical functions. In this article AZoNano covers the main properties and applications of polymeric nanoparticles.
