“…Numerous synthetic and natural polymeric materials, including biodegradable, biocompatible and non-biodegradable substances, have already been used for nanoparticle preparation. Among the synthetic biodegradable polymeric matrices, poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) [26,28,34] and poly(D, L-lactide) (PLA) [35] are the most common. Polymeric materials such as poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) [36] and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (PEVA) [12] are characterized by satisfying biocompatibility.…”

“…The authors highlighted the potential of the as-prepared system for the food industry to help prevent foodborne diseases [21]. Interesting studies have been conducted by Phan and co--workers [35], who have examined the use of natamycin-loaded nanoparticles composed of dextran and poly(D, L-lactide) (Dex-b-PLA) for the surface modification of contact lenses fabricated from various polymeric materials. It has been found that extended drug release up to 12 h was observed for contact lens materials composed of N, N-dimethylacrylamide or [tris(trimethylsiloxy)silyl]-propyl methacrylate.…”

The authors suggested that natamycin-loaded Dex-b-PLA nanoparticles incorporated into contact lens materials have the potential to be used for targeted drug delivery directly to the cornea for the treatment of fungal infections [35]. Another group [25] has prepared voriconazole-loaded PLGA nanoparticles for pulmonary drug delivery.…”

Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field of science offering interesting solutions for many branches of human life. Nanomaterials, defined as structures with at least one dimension below 100 nm, are the focus of increasing research attention as versatile tools for nanomedicine. Among the various nanostructures recently described in the literature, polymeric nanoparticles, characterized by satisfying biocompatibility, have aroused great interest as the carriers for various biologically active substances such as drugs, proteins and nucleic acids. These nanoparticles have already been reported as efficient vehicles for therapeutic agents in many disease entities. They can be delivered to the body via different administration routes. This review addresses recent advances in the usage of polymeric nanoparticles as drug carriers described in the years 2013 and 2014. The advantages of polymeric nanocarriers for medical application are highlighted, including their low toxicity, evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, the classification of polymeric nanoparticles is presented as well as various protocols of their synthesis (Adv Clin Exp Med 2015, 24, 5, 749-758).

The aim of this study was to evaluate biodegradable poly(lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles as potential nano-delivery systems for the food antifungal compound natamycin. Natamycin-loaded nanoparticles were prepared at various ratios polymer/antifungal by the nanoprecipitation technique, resulting in nano-size particles (80-120 nm) with a narrow distribution and a spherical morphology. Complexation of natamycin with PLGA and active participation to the nanoparticle formation were evidenced by a mean diameter reduction of 10-30 nm, although encapsulation levels remained low due to the zwitterionic and partially hydrophilic nature of natamycin. Physical state analyses highlighted the presence of natamycin in an amorphous or molecularly dispersed state within the polymeric matrix. This translates into high availability of free antifungal molecules reflected in burst release and fast in vitro release kinetics rates as well as enhanced antifungal performance against the model food yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, offering a potential benefit for antifungal protection compared with the commercially available natamycin products.

In vitrouptake and release of natamycin Dex-b-PLA nanoparticles from model contact lens materials

Abstract: Model CL materials loaded with natamycin-Dex-b-PLA NPs were able to release natamycin for up to 12 h under infinite sink conditions. DMAA-TRIS materials may be more suitable for drug delivery of natamycin due to the higher drug release observed with these materials.
