- W3133156970 abstract "Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) represents a considerable health burden for women. Despite the availability of a significant array of antifungal drugs and topical products, the management of the infection is not always effective, and new approaches are needed. Here, we explored cationic N-(2-hydroxy)-propyl-3-trimethylammonium, O-palmitoyl chitosan nanoparticles (NPs) as carriers of clotrimazole (CLT) for the topical treatment of VVC. CLT-NPs with approximately 280 nm in diameter were obtained by self-assembly in water and subsequent stabilization by ionic crosslinking with tripolyphosphate. The nanosystem featured pH-independent sustained drug release up to 24 h, which affected both in vitro anti-Candida activity and cytotoxicity. The CLT-loaded nanostructured platform yielded favorable selectivity index values for a panel of standard strains and clinical isolates of Candida spp. and female genital tract cell lines (HEC-1-A, Ca Ski and HeLa), as compared to the free drug. CLT-NPs also improved in vitro drug permeability across HEC-1-A and Ca Ski cell monolayers, thus suggesting that the nanocarrier may provide higher mucosal tissue levels of the active compound. Overall, data support that CLT-NPs may be a valuable asset for the topical treatment of VVC. Topical azoles such as clotrimazole (CLT) are first line antifungal drugs for the management of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), but their action may be limited by issues such as toxicity and poor capacity to penetrate the genital mucosa. Herein, we report on the ability of a new cationic N-(2‑hydroxy)-propyl-3-trimethylammonium, O-dipalmitoyl chitosan derivative (DPCat35) to yield tripolyphosphate-reinforced micelle-like nanostructures that are suitable carriers for CLT. In particular, these nanosystems were able to improve the in vitro selectivity index of the drug and to provide enhanced epithelial drug permeability when tested in cell monolayer models. These data support that CLT-loaded DPCat35 nanoparticles feature favorable properties for the development of new nanomedicines for the topical management of VVC." @default.
