The aim of this proposal is to start an international partnership by means of international visits for knowledge exchange, and strengthen international engagement in research activities. We are focused on the synthesis of nanosystems for light-controlled release of curcumin. Nowadays, the development of antimicrobial resistance is a world threat and a challenge for the health field, and n…
The aims of this research are: 1- to compare molecular and non-molecular methods of quantification of Candida albicans; 2- to evaluate the effect of efflux pump inhibitors on the inactivation of fluconazole-resistant C. albicans; 3- to develop a light-triggered micelles with curcumin and to evaluate its effect on antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT); 4- to evaluate the antibiofilm ef…
The aim of this study is to formulate and evaluate the photodynamic effect of curcumin (CUR) encapsulated in polymeric nanoparticles (NP) on in vitro biofilms of Candida albicans and on a murine model of oral candidosis. CUR-NP will be synthesized using poly-lactic acid (PLA), and dextran sulfate (DEX). To characterize this solution, the physicochemical properties (size, polydispersity an…

Candida albicans is the main fungus pathogen that affects humans and has the ability to develop in different morphologies (yeasts, pseudo-hyphae, and hyphae), a characteristic called polymorphism. This polymorphism and antifungal therapies compromise the quantification methods that demand and accuracy, such as research involving filamentous fungi. The aim of the study will be to compare t…
Curcumin (CUR) has been used as a photosensitizer (PS) in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) for inactivation of microorganisms. However, the use of organic solvents to solubilize CUR is a limitation for its clinical use. Taking this restriction into consideration, drug delivery systems such as polymeric micelles have been used to improve the solubility of CUR. Most studies of CUR …
