Onychomycosis is a common fungal nail infection for which new antifungals are needed to overcome antimicrobial resistance and the limitations of conventional treatments. This study reports the development of antifungal nail lacquers containing oregano essential oil (OEO), rosemary essential oil (REO), and biogenic silver nanoparticles (bioAgNPs). The formulations (F) were tested against dermatophytes using agar diffusion, ex vivo nail infection, and scanning electron microscopy techniques. They were evaluated for their pharmacotechnical characteristics and by FTIR-PAS to assess permeation across the nail. F-OEO and F-OEO/bioAgNPs were promising candidates for the final nail lacquer formulation, as they permeated through the nail and showed antifungal efficacy against dermatophytes-contaminated nails after 5 days of treatment. Treated nails exhibited decreased hyphae and spores compared to the untreated control; the hyphae were atypically flattened, indicating loss of cytoplasmic content due to damage to the cytoplasmic membrane. The formulations were stable after centrifugation and thermal stress, maintaining organoleptic and physicochemical characteristics. Both F-OEO and F-OEO/bioAgNPs had pH compatible with the nail and drying times (59-90 s) within the reference for nail lacquer. For the first time, OEO and bioAgNPs were incorporated into nail lacquer, resulting in a natural and nanotechnological product for onychomycosis that could combat microbial resistance.
甲癣是一种常见的真菌性指甲感染,需要新型抗真菌药物来克服抗菌耐药性以及传统治疗方法的局限性。本研究报告了含有牛至精油(OEO)、迷迭香精油(REO)和生物银纳米颗粒(bioAgNPs)的抗真菌指甲油的研制情况。使用琼脂扩散法、离体指甲感染法和扫描电子显微镜技术对这些配方(F)进行了针对皮肤癣菌的测试。对它们的药学技术特性进行了评估,并通过傅里叶变换红外光声光谱法(FTIR-PAS)评估其透过指甲的渗透情况。F-OEO和F-OEO/bioAgNPs是最终指甲油配方的有前景的候选物,因为它们能透过指甲,并且在治疗5天后对受皮肤癣菌污染的指甲显示出抗真菌功效。与未处理的对照相比,处理后的指甲表现出菌丝和孢子减少;菌丝呈非典型扁平状,表明由于细胞质膜受损导致细胞质内容物流失。这些配方在离心和热应激后稳定,保持了感官和理化特性。F-OEO和F-OEO/bioAgNPs的pH值均与指甲相容,干燥时间(59 - 90秒)在指甲油的参考范围内。首次将OEO和bioAgNPs纳入指甲油中,得到了一种用于治疗甲癣的天然且基于纳米技术的产品,该产品可以对抗微生物耐药性。
