Acne vulgaris, a prevalent skin condition, arises from an imbalance in skin flora, fostering bacterial overgrowth. Addressing this issue, clindamycin molecularly imprinted polymeric nanoparticles (Clin-MIP) loaded onto polyurethane nanofiber scaffolds were developed for acne treatment. Clin-MIP was synthesized via precipitation polymerization using methacrylic acid (MAA), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), and azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as functional monomers, crosslinkers, and free-radical initiators, respectively.

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 adult male Wistar albino rats were divided into six groups (n=10 rats/group).
The aim of this study was to develop a novel double-layer bi-medicated prolonged release mucoadhesive buccal film (MBF) containing lidocaine hydrochloride (LC) and diclofenac potassium (DK). The ultimate goal of the prepared system is the treatment of radiation-induced oral mucositis pain with improved patient acceptance. MBFs were prepared using 3 × 2 randomized full factorial design for film optimization.
