Abstract
Intranasal drug administration is considered a routine in the treatment of many nasal conditions including chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), which is a common disease involving long-term inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Topical nasal steroid treatment is safe and easy to use and plays a basic role in both nonsurgical and surgical treatments for CRS. Intranasal steroid therapy for various time intervals is commonly used before and after endoscopic CRS nasal surgeries to reduce inflammation and edema and to improve mucosal healing. The medication is currently administered via conventional nasal sprays; therefore, there is an incentive to develop more efficient drug delivery systems for the controlled release of topical steroids into the sinonasal cavities over a prolonged period of time. In this study, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with mometasone furoate (MF) were generated using the nanoprecipitation method and characterized physicochemically and morphologically. MF NPs exhibited adequate physicochemical properties and high drug encapsulation efficiency and loading content. MF exhibited sustained release from NPs over 7 days in vitro with an initial burst release; various mathematical models were applied to determine the kinetics of drug release. Having demonstrated the ability to load MF in PLGA-NPs using the nanoprecipitation method for the first time, these NPs urge the need for additional investigations to demonstrate their therapeutic potential in nasal delivery applications.Funding Information
