    Polyamidoamine dendrimers (PAMAM) belong to a relatively new class of polymers that are evaluated as efficient systems for drug delivery due to their nanosize range, ability to improve solubility, permeability and pharmacological activity of many drugs. In this study, the influence of PAMAM dendrimers of generation2 (G2) and 3 (G3) with -NH2or -OH terminal groups (PAMAM-NH2 and PAMAM-OH, respectively) on the bioadhesive properties, viscosity and yield stress of polyacrylic acid polymer hydrogels with clotrimazole was investigated. We show that the addition of PAMAM-NH2 dendrimers G2 and G3 into the hydrogel structures caused, in both cases, an about 2-fold decrease in viscosity of the hydrogels and a 1.3 and 1.4-fold decrease in the value of yield stress, respectively. We also found that PAMAM dendrimers with -NH2 terminal groups induced the highest decrease in the work of adhesion between hydrogels and the examined adhesive layers.Dendrymery poliamidoaminowe (PAMAM) nale偶膮 do nowej grupy polimer贸w badanych pod k膮tem ich zastosowania jako efektywne no艣niki lek贸w. Takim zastosowaniom sprzyjaj膮 wymiary nano, zdolno艣膰 do poprawy rozpuszczalno艣ci i przenikania przez b艂ony oraz zwi臋kszania aktywno艣ci farmakologicznej wielu substancji leczniczych. W ramach pracy oceniano wp艂yw dendrymer贸w PAMAM generacji 2 (G2) i 3 (G3) zawieraj膮cych ko艅cowe grupy -NH2 lub -OH (odpowiednio, PAMAM-NH2 i PAMAM-OH) na w艂a艣ciwo艣ci bioadhezyjne, lepko艣膰 i granic臋 p艂yni臋cia hydro偶eli z klotrimazolem, wykonanych z u偶yciem pochodnych kwasu poliakrylowego. Wykazano, 偶e dodatek do struktury hydro偶elowej dendrymer贸w PAMAM-NH2 G2 i G3 powoduje oko艂o 2-krotne zmniejszenie ich lepko艣ci oraz, odpowiednio, 1,3- i 1,4-krotne zmniejszenie warto艣ci granicy p艂yni臋cia. Stwierdzono r贸wnie偶, 偶e dendrymery PAMAM z ko艅cowymi grupami -NH2 powoduj膮 najwi臋kszy spadek pracy adhezji pomi臋dzy hydro偶elami a badanymi warstwami adhezyjnymi

    Chitosan microparticulate delivery systems containing clotrimazole were prepared by a spray drying technique using glycerol 2-phosphate as an ion cross-linker. The impact of a cross-linking ratio on microparticle characteristics was evaluated. Drug-free and drug-loaded unmodified or ion cross-linked chitosan microparticles were examined for the in vitro cytotoxicity in VK2/E6E7 human vaginal epithelial cells. The presence of glycerol 2-phosphate influenced drug loading and encapsulation efficacy in chitosan microparticles. By increasing the cross-linking ratio, the microparticles with lower diameter, moisture content and smoother surface were observed. Mucoadhesive studies displayed that all formulations possessed mucoadhesive properties. The in vitro release profile of clotrimazole was found to alter considerably by changing the glycerol 2-phosphate/chitosan ratio. Results from cytotoxicity studies showed occurrence of apoptotic cells in the presence of chitosan and ion cross-linked chitosan microparticles, followed by a loss of membrane potential suggesting that cell death might go through the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway
