pH-Triggered In-Situ Nasal Gel Systems for Migraine Therapy: A Review
Abstract: Intranasal drug delivery has gained considerable attention as a non-invasive route for delivering drugs to both systemic circulation and the central nervous system, particularly for the treatment of migraine. Traditional nasal formulations such as sprays and drops often show poor therapeutic performance due to rapid mucociliary clearance and limited retention within the nasal cavity. To overcome these challenges, in-situ gel systems have been designed, which transform from a liquid to …

Evaluation of Mucoadhesive Polymers for Nasal Delivery of Herbal Bioactives
Abstract: A study assessed mucoadhesive polymers for intranasal herbal bioactive administration with higher residence time and mucosal permeability. Chitosan, Carbopol® 934P, and HPMC K15M were utilized to manufacture mucoadhesive nasal gels with standardized herbal bioactive fractions. Formulations were examined for pH, viscosity, spreadability, drug content, mucoadhesive strength, in-vitro release, ex-vivo penetration, and short-term stability. All formulations demonstrated a suitable pH for nasal usage and uniform drug content (97.48 ± 1.12% to …
