RESEARCH OVERVIEW

Abstract

Article explore the formulation and assessment of a novel nanoparticle-based topical gel containing the antifungal drug fluconazole. This study focuses on the design, preparation, and characterization of the nano-gel, aiming to improve drug delivery efficiency and therapeutic efficacy for the treatment of fungal infections. Through a combination of physicochemical characterization techniques, drug release studies, and in vitro and in vivo evaluations, the performance and efficacy of the nano-gel formulation are investigated. The results demonstrate the potential of the fluconazole-loaded nano-gel as a promising therapeutic approach for antifungal therapy, offering enhanced drug delivery and improved treatment outcomes.
