Abstract

Acne is one of the common dermatological skin inflammatory conditions. The current therapeutic modalities for the treatment of acne include the administration of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents. The rising instance of antibiotic resistance in acne strains has led to the exploration of alternative therapeutic modalities. In the current study, we have employed a liposomal gold nanoparticle entrapping curcumin (Au Lipos Cur NPs) for dual light-mediated therapy for the treatment of acne. These nanoparticles exerted a positive zeta potential that enabled their localized follicular delivery by iontophoresis. The localized deposition of Au Lipos NPs leads to photothermal transduction causing destruction of sebaceous glands. Furthermore, when the nanoparticles were assessed in vitro by sequential irradiation with NIR and blue light, it resulted in significant inhibition of bacterial growth. Thus the dual light-mediated therapy by Au Lipos Cur NPs can form a potential therapeutic modality for the efficient treatment of recurrent acne.
