Chitosan, Tween 80, Sodium tripolyphosphate | Ionic gelation | Topic | 199–232 nm | A skin irritation study was performed in albino rabbits, and no signs of skin irritation and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed. | The release profile was slower in PBS medium pH 7.4 compared to pH 5.5, releasing 82% VCZ in 24 h at the most acidic pH. The ex vivo test using mouse skin (mice) demonstrated that a limited amount of VCZ permeated in the receptor medium, higher for the film with suspended VCZ than the film with VCZ-polymeric nanoparticles. The latter presented higher deposition (15.05%) in the stratum corneum concerning the other formulations and the deposition of 54.76% in the epidermis and dermis. In the antifungal test, the film based on VCZ-PNPs showed the highest retention zone against Candida sp. (20 mm) and Aspergillus sp.

The cubosomes showed a biphasic release profile, with a burst effect at 30 min followed by a sustained release for 24 h. | Pharmacokinetic was performed in albino rabbits by ocular instillation. The results showed that the chitosan-coated cubosomes showed higher Cmax than the VCZ-suspension (4.44 and 3.52 ng/mL, respectively; p < 0.0001).

Chitosan, EUD RS 100 | Spontaneous Emulsification | Topic | 217 nm | Desired physicochemical characteristics of the formulation for administration in mucosa showing mucoadhesion and release mechanism by dialysis and constant diffusion in vitro. | [229] | ||
Chitosan, PLGA, PVA | Multiple emulsion by solvent evaporation | Pulmonary | 154–277 nm | After six hours, a greater accumulation of VCZ was detected in the liver than in the urine, suggesting that urinary clearance decreases. | Both formulations, PLGA-NP, coated or not with chitosan, showed sustained VCZ release after 24 h and followed the Korsmeyer–Peppas kinetic model. | Both formulations showed uniform distribution in the alveoli and sustained release up to 72 h, about free VCZ. VCZ levels were detected in the lung and plasma after administration. The Cmax was achieved earlier by the chitosan-coated formulation, but the time required was the same when compared. | [230] |

However, at low concentrations, the inhibition rate of planktonic cells of C. albicans was higher for VCZ–NLC; there was also a reduction in the biofilm cell density. There is an increase in the efficiency of the VCZ. | [235] | |||
HP-β-CD + P407, P188 | Spray drying | Vaginal | * | The addition of mucoadhesive polymers increases mucoadhesion and sustained drug release of VCZ. | VCZ uptake was higher when administered in the VCZ HP-β-CD formulation, whose Cmax was 7.13 µg/g at two h post-dose, an increase 3.4× greater than HP-β-CD or VCZ in dispersion. | [236] | |

Phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, α-tocopherol | Lipid-film hydration followed by extrusion | Intravenous | 95 nm | Accumulation of VCZ in the liver and kidneys was lower in the liposomal form. | Candida sp. was more susceptible than strains of Aspergillus sp., but there was no difference between VCZ liposome and VFEND®. | There was a difference in the pharmacokinetic parameters for liposome and VFEND®. Liposome reduced the deputation by half; the AUC0–24 increased 2.5× and reduced the volume of distribution of the VCZ. | [239] |
Phosphatidylcholine (Liposomes) Compritol, Miglyol, Tween 80 e Span 85 (NLC) | Film hydration followed by extrusion (Liposomes) and microemulsion (NLC) | Topic | 114 nm | The percentage of VCZ release was higher for NLC (40%) than for liposome (15%) after six hours. The gel formulation showed significant accumulation only with liposomes. Liposome deposition in the follicle produces the greatest amount in the stratum corneum. While NLC has a faster and deeper release. The MIC50 to Trichophyton rubrum result was similar for both formulations. | [240] | ||
Tween 80, ethanol and oleic acid. | Microemulsion | Topic | 10 nm | In the pork skin permeation test, the accumulation of VCZ in the stratum corneum and the rest of the skin was higher for the microemulsion concerning the commercial formulation.

The hydrogel showed inhibitory activity against Fusarium solani and A. fumigatus with MIC of 2.5 µg/mL and 2.5–5.0 µg/mL. The matrix activity of the contact lenses produced was also evaluated and presented a MIC of 1.25 µg/mL, suggesting an increase in therapeutic efficacy and a synergistic effect of the matrix with the hydrogel. | Clinical evaluation of rats treated with the lenses containing the VCZ hydrogel exhibited a reduction in fungal keratitis during the treatment period. | [247] |
PLGA | Multiple Emulsion and Solvent Evaporation | Pulmonary | 300 nm | In PBS medium, the drug release was limited by the dissolution rate of the drug particles, while in SLF medium, the release occurred by the diffusion/erosion mechanism. | There was variation in the concentration of VCZ in the pulmonary lobes of the animals during treatment with intravenous injection, a situation that did not occur with pulmonary administration. In addition, there was greater retention of VCZ in lung tissue from the nanoparticles. | [248] | |
Polietilenoimina, Stearic acid, sodium deoxycholate | Emulsification | Pulmonary | 353 nm | Cytotoxicity in human lung carcinoma cells (A549) was dependent on polyethyleneimine concentration. | From the results of the mass mean aerodynamic diameter, the use of VCZ in the form of aerosols from agglomerates or nanoparticles can result in better pulmonary deposition than with the use of pure powder. | [159] | |
