Cao F, Lu S. OSA modified porous starch acts as an efficient carrier for loading and sustainedly releasing naringin. Food Chem 2024; 463:141176. [PMID: 39276539 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.141176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 07/07/2024] [Accepted: 09/05/2024] [Indexed: 09/17/2024]
Abstract
To select an efficient carrier for loading and sustainedly releasing naringin (NAR), complexes of porous starch (PS) and NAR (PS-NAR) as well as those of octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) esterified PS and NAR (OSAPS-NAR) with different degree of substitution (DS) were prepared by an ultrasonic method with an ethanol solution. The micro-morphological features, structural and thermal properties of complexes and their constituents were characterized, and in vitro release rate and kinetic of NAR from complexes were investigated. The findings revealed that NAR was successfully loaded in PS/OSAPS in an amorphous form, and the NAR's loading efficiency improved as DS increased, reaching 86.85 % at DS 0.0427. NAR cumulative release rate from the complexes in simulated digestion fluids was much higher than that of free (unloaded) NAR, but decreased as DS increased. NAR's in vitro release from complexes mainly depended on the carrier rather than NAR itself, and OSAPS with higher DS had stronger protection and slower release effect on NAR. The results would provide a new means for starch-based carrier construction to develop an efficient delivery and sustainedly releasing system for NAR, thus broadening the application ranges both for modified starch and citrus flavonoids such as NAR.

Development of raft-forming liquid formulations loaded with ginger extract-solid dispersion for treatment of gastric ulceration. Heliyon 2024; 10:e31803. [PMID: 38841494 PMCID: PMC11152664 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31803] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Raft-forming liquid formulations incorporating ginger extract solid dispersion (GE-SD) were developed to achieve prolonged delivery of 6-gingerol in the stomach and thus increase the effectiveness of gastric ulcer treatment. The solubility of 6-gingerol in 0.1 N HCl (pH 1.2) was maximized (15 mg/mL) by combining ginger extract with PVP K30 at 1:3 w/w ratio to produce a solid dispersion. The nature of GE-SD was confirmed by PXRD and FT-IR analysis. PXRD pattern showed miscibility of GE and PVP K30 in amorphous solid dispersion and the FT-IR spectra confirmed the formation of hydrogen bond between GE and PVP K30. GE-SD-loaded raft-forming liquids were prepared using sodium alginate as a gel former and HPMC as a release-controlling agent. The formulations exhibited rapid floating behavior in 0.1 N HCl (<30 s) and remained afloat on the surface over 8 h. The formed raft structures provided sufficient strength (>7.5 g) and allowed sustained release of more than 70 % of the 6-gingerol content over 8 h in 0.1 N HCl. Raft-forming formulations incorporating ginger extract demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting nitric oxide production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells (IC50 = 5.13 ± 0.07 μg/mL). Exposure to the formulations also had a significant cytotoxic effect on AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells with an IC50 of 17.45 ± 0.29 μg/mL. In addition, the raft-forming formulations enhanced the migratory behavior of L929 mouse fibroblasts in the scratch wound model. Taken together, these findings reveal the benefits of gastro-retentive, GE-SD-loaded raft-forming liquid formulations for improving the treatment of gastric ulcers.

[PMID: 38474022 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25052774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) of pterostilbene (PTR) with polyvinylpyrrolidone polymers (PVP K30 and VA64) were prepared through milling, affirming the amorphous dispersion of PTR via X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Subsequent analysis of DSC thermograms, augmented using mathematical equations such as the Gordon-Taylor and Couchman-Karasz equations, facilitated the determination of predicted values for glass transition (Tg), PTR's miscibility with PVP, and the strength of PTR's interaction with the polymers. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analysis validated interactions maintaining PTR's amorphous state and identified involved functional groups, namely, the 4'-OH and/or -CH groups of PTR and the C=O group of PVP. The study culminated in evaluating the impact of amorphization on water solubility, the release profile in pH 6.8, and in vitro permeability (PAMPA-GIT and BBB methods). In addition, it was determined how improving water solubility affects the increase in antioxidant (ABTS, DPPH, CUPRAC, and FRAP assays) and neuroprotective (inhibition of cholinesterases: AChE and BChE) properties. The apparent solubility of the pure PTR was ~4.0 µg·mL-1 and showed no activity in the considered assays. For obtained ASDs (PTR-PVP30/PTR-PVPVA64, respectively) improvements in apparent solubility (410.8 and 383.2 µg·mL-1), release profile, permeability, antioxidant properties (ABTS: IC50 = 52.37/52.99 μg·mL-1, DPPH: IC50 = 163.43/173.96 μg·mL-1, CUPRAC: IC0.5 = 122.27/129.59 μg·mL-1, FRAP: IC0.5 = 95.69/98.57 μg·mL-1), and neuroprotective effects (AChE: 39.1%/36.2%, BChE: 76.9%/73.2%) were confirmed.

Abstract
Larrea nitida Cav. (Zygophyllaceae) is a plant endemic to Argentina and Chile, and its extract has been studied over the last years due to the presence of antimicrobial agents that can be used to control the growth of some pathogens in agriculture. However, the extract is highly hydrophobic, which strongly affects its fungicidal activity in aqueous media. In this sense, the solid dispersion technique was used to produce L. nitida extract nanodispersions with polyethylene glycol (PLE) and with polyethylene glycol and zinc acetate (PZLE). In order to further evaluate the activity of the extract in PLE and PZLE, blank nanodispersions containing only polyethylene glycol (PEG) and zinc acetate (PZ) without the addition of the extract were also produced. The fungicidal activity of the water-soluble nanoparticles was evaluated at different concentrations (0.037-0.110 g.mL-1). In general, the nanoparticles were successfully produced on a nanometric size and presented a significant inhibitory activity on the growth of the pathogens Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium verticillioides in aqueous media. Compared to PLE, PZLE presented increased fungistatic activity, possibly due to their increased solubility in water. Even though their application in agriculture should be further investigated, the nanodispersions present great potential to be applied as a green biotechnological tool.

Abstract
Naringin (NG), a natural flavanone glycoside, possesses a multitude of pharmacological properties, encompassing anti-inflammatory, sedative, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-osteoporosis, and lipid-lowering functions, and serves as a facilitator for the absorption of other drugs. Despite these powerful qualities, NG's limited solubility and bioavailability primarily undermine its therapeutic potential. Consequently, innovative solubilization methodologies have received considerable attention, propelling a surge of scholarly investigation in this arena. Among the most promising solutions is the enhancement of NG's solubility and physiological activity without compromising its inherent active structure, therefore enabling the formulation of non-toxic and benign human body preparations. This article delivers a comprehensive overview of NG and its physiological activities, particularly emphasizing the impacts of structural modification, solid dispersions (SDs), inclusion compound, polymeric micelle, liposomes, and nanoparticles on NG solubilization. By synthesizing current research, this research elucidates the bioavailability of NG, broadens its clinical applicability, and paves the way for further exploration and expansion of its application spectrum.

Abstract
The aim of our research was to improve the solubility and antioxidant activity of pterostilbene (PTR) by developing a novel amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) with Soluplus® (SOL). DSC analysis and mathematical models were used to select the three appropriate PTR and SOL weight ratios. The amorphization process was carried out by a low-cost and green approach involving dry milling. An XRPD analysis confirmed the full amorphization of systems in 1:2 and 1:5 weight ratios. One glass transition (Tg) observed in DSC thermograms confirmed the complete miscibility of the systems. The mathematical models indicated strong heteronuclear interactions. SEM micrographs suggest dispersed PTR within the SOL matrix and a lack of PTR crystallinity, and showed that after the amorphization process, PTR-SOL systems had a smaller particle size and larger surface area compared with PTR and SOL. An FT-IR analysis confirmed that hydrogen bonds were responsible for stabilizing the amorphous dispersion. HPLC studies showed no decomposition of PTR after the milling process. PTR's apparent solubility and antioxidant activity after introduction into ASD increased compared to the pure compound. The amorphization process improved the apparent solubility by ~37-fold and ~28-fold for PTR-SOL, 1:2 and 1:5 w/w, respectively. The PTR-SOL 1:2 w/w system was preferred due to it having the best solubility and antioxidant activity (ABTS: IC50 of 56.389 ± 0.151 µg·mL-1 and CUPRAC: IC0.5 of 82.52 ± 0.88 µg·mL-1).

Abstract
Hydrogel-forming microarray patches (HF-MAPs) are used to circumvent the skin barrier and facilitate the noninvasive transdermal delivery of many hydrophilic substances. However, their use in the delivery of hydrophobic agents is a challenging task. This work demonstrates, for the first time, the successful transdermal long-acting delivery of the hydrophobic atorvastatin (ATR) via HF-MAPs using poly(ethylene)glycol (PEG)-based solid dispersion (SD) reservoirs. PEG-based SDs of ATR were able to completely dissolve within 90 s in vitro. Ex vivo results showed that 2.05 ± 0.23 mg of ATR/0.5 cm2 patch was delivered to the receiver compartment of Franz cells after 24 h. The in vivo study, conducted using Sprague Dawley rats, proved the versatility of HF-MAPs in delivering and maintaining therapeutically-relevant concentrations (> 20 ng·mL-1) of ATR over 14 days, following a single HF-MAP application for 24 h. The long-acting delivery of ATR suggests the successful formation of hydrophobic microdepots within the skin, allowing for the subsequent sustained delivery as they gradually dissolve over time, as shown in this work. When compared to the oral group, the use of the HF-MAP formulation improved the overall pharmacokinetics profile of ATR in plasma, where significantly higher AUC values resulting in ∼10-fold higher systemic exposure levels were obtained. This novel system offers a promising, minimally-invasive, long-acting alternative delivery system for ATR that is capable of enhancing patient compliance and therapeutic outcomes. It also proposes a unique promising platform for the long-acting transdermal delivery of other hydrophobic agents.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is a biological process in which resting endothelial cells start proliferating, migrating and forming new blood vessels. Angiogenesis is particularly important in the repair of bone tissue defects. Naringin (NG) is the main active monomeric component of traditional Chinese medicine, which has various biological activities, such as anti-osteoporosis, anti-inflammatory, blood activation and microcirculation improvement. At present, the mechanism of naringin in the process of angiogenesis is not clear. PIWI protein-interacting RNA (piRNA) is a small noncoding RNA (sncRNA) that has the functions of regulating protein synthesis, regulating the structure of chromatin and the genome, stabilizing mRNA and others. Several studies have demonstrated that piRNAs can mediate the angiogenesis process. Whether naringin can interfere with the process of angiogenesis by regulating piRNAs and related target genes deserves further exploration. Thus, the purpose of this study was to validate the potential angiogenic and bone regeneration properties and related mechanisms of naringin both in vivo and in vitro.

Amorphous Solid Dispersion of Hesperidin with Polymer Excipients for Enhanced Apparent Solubility as a More Effective Approach to the Treatment of Civilization Diseases. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232315198.

Abstract
The present study reports amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) of hesperidin (Hes) prepared by ball milling to improve its solubility and apparent solubility over the unmodified compound. The carriers were Soluplus® (Sol), alginate sodium (SA), and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC). XRPD analysis confirmed full amorphization of all binary systems in 1:5 w/w ratio. One glass transition (Tg) observed in DSC thermograms of hesperidin:Soluplus® (Hes:Sol) and hesperidin:HPMC (Hes:HPMC) 1:5 w/w systems confirmed complete miscibility. The mathematical model (Gordon-Taylor equation) indicates that the obtained amorphous systems are characterized by weak interactions. The FT-IR results confirmed that hydrogen bonds are responsible for stabilizing the amorphous state of Hes. Stability studies indicate that the strength of these bonds is insufficient to maintain the amorphous state of Hes under stress conditions (25 °C and 60 °C 76.4% RH). HPLC analysis suggested that the absence of degradation products indicates safe hesperidin delivery systems. The solubility and apparent solubility were increased in all media (water, phosphate buffer pH 6.8 and HCl (0.1 N)) compared to the pure compound. Our study showed that all obtained ASDs are promising systems for Hes delivery, wherein Hes:Sol 1:5 w/w has the best solubility (about 300-fold in each media) and apparent solubility (about 70% in phosphate buffer pH 6.8 and 63% in HCl).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is caused by the deterioration of bone density and microstructure, resulting in increased fracture risk. It transpires due to an imbalanced skeletal remodelling process favouring bone resorption. Various natural compounds can positively influence the skeletal remodelling process, of which naringenin is a candidate. Naringenin is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound found in citrus fruits and grapefruit. This systematic review aims to present an overview of the available evidence on the skeletal protective effects of naringenin. METHOD A systematic literature search was conducted using the PubMed and Scopus databases in August 2022. Original research articles using cells, animals, or humans to investigate the bone protective effects of naringenin were included. RESULTS Sixteen eligible articles were included in this review. The existing evidence suggested that naringenin enhanced osteoblastogenesis and bone formation through BMP-2/p38MAPK/Runx2/Osx, SDF-1/CXCR4, and PI3K/Akt/c-Fos/c-Jun/AP-1 signalling pathways. Naringenin also inhibited osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption by inhibiting inflammation and the RANKL pathway. CONCLUSIONS Naringenin enhances bone formation while suppressing bone resorption, thus achieving its skeletal protective effects. It could be incorporated into the diet through fruit intake or supplements to prevent bone loss.

Abstract
In the current work, a series of PCL polyesters with different molecular weights was synthesized and used for the fabrication of nanofibrous patches via electrospinning, as sustained release matrices for leflunomide’s active metabolite, teriflunomide (TFL). The electrospinning conditions for each sample were optimized and it was found that only one material with high Mn (71,000) was able to produce structures with distinct fibers devoid of the presence of beads. The successful preparation of the fibers was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).TFL (10, 20 and 30 wt%) in three different concentrations was incorporated into the prepared nanofibers, which were used in in vitro drug release experiments. The drug-loaded nanofibrous formulations were further characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD).It was found that TFL was incorporated in an amorphous form inside the polymeric nanofibers and that significant molecular interactions were formed between the drug and the polyester. Additionally, in vitro dissolution studies showed that the PCL/TFL-loaded nanofibers exhibit a biphasic release profile, having an initial burst release phase, followed by a sustained release until 250 h. Finally, a kinetic analysis of the obtained profiles revealed that the drug release was directly dependent on the amount TFL incorporated into the nanofibers.

Abstract
Naringenin (NRG) is a plant-derived flavonoid. Due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic activities it is beneficial to human health and is often used as a functional food ingredient; however, it has poor water solubility and low in vivo bioavailability. Therefore, the efficacy of NRG can be improved by enhancing its water solubility to increase gastrointestinal absorption. Conventional methods for the formulation of NRG are very complex and use toxic organic solvents, making them impractical for the production of functional foods. The objective of this study was to develop a safe and effective NRG-based functional food material. Previously, we established a technology to prepare amorphous solid dispersions (SDs) from functional food ingredients with poor water solubility and used hot-melt extrusion technology that is comparatively simple and does not involve the use of organic solvents. In this study, we prepared NRG SD and evaluated them both physicochemically and biochemically. NRG SD had superior water solubility and gastrointestinal absorption relative to native NRG and showed higher analgesic efficacy in rats than crystalline NRG. NRG SD was administered to mice in a mixed diet for 28 days, and organ weights and hematological/clinical biochemical parameters were assessed. NRG SD did not demonstrate severe adverse effects. The results suggest that NRG SD is a safe and highly efficacious formulation that can be used as a functional food material in the future.

Abstract
Gastroretentive expandable films were developed to provide controlled release of ginger extract (GE) for treatment of gastric diseases. The dosage form consisted of ginger extract solid dispersion (GE-SD) loaded in a starch/chitosan composite film, which was subsequently folded and inserted into a hard gelatin capsule. GE-SD was prepared by solvent evaporation using an optimum weight ratio of 1:1 for GE and PVP K30. Expandable films containing GE-SD were prepared by solvent casting combinations of chitosan and either rice-, glutinous rice - or pregelatinized maize starch with glycerin incorporated as a plasticizer. The optimized film formulation prepared from glutinous rice starch, exhibited tensile strength of 5.4 N/cm2 and high expansion in simulated gastric fluid (SGF), resulting in a 2.8-fold increase in area. The films resulted in sustained release of up to 90% of the content of 6-gingerol during 8 h exposure to SGF. Furthermore, the 6-gingerol released from the film displayed dose-dependent cytotoxic activity against AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells and anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the production of nitric oxide (NO) in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells.

Abstract
Amorphous solid products have recently gained a lot of attention as key solutions to improve the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble nutraceuticals. A pure amorphous drug is a high-energy form; physically/chemically unstable and so easily gets recrystallized into the less soluble crystalline form limiting solubility and bioavailability issues. Amorphous solid dispersion and co-amorphous are new formulation approach that stabilized unstable amorphous form through different mechanisms such as preventing mobility, high glass transition temperature and molecular interaction. Nutraceuticals have been received the utmost importance due to their health benefits. However, most of these compounds have been associated with poor oral bioavailability due to poor solubility, high lipophilicity, high melting point, poor permeability, degradability and rapid metabolism in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) which limits its health benefits. This review provides us a systematic application of amorphous systems to the delivery of poorly soluble nutraceuticals, with the aim of overcoming their pharmacokinetic limitations and improved pharmacological potential. In particular, it describes the challenges associated with delivery of oral nutraceuticals, various methods involved in the preparation and characterization of amorphous systems and permeability enhancement of nutraceuticals are in detail.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) is a natural polysaccharide, widely studied in the past due to its unique properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability and non-toxicity. Chemical modification of CS is an effective pathway to prepare new matrices with additional functional groups and improved properties, such as increment of hydrophilicity and swelling rate, for drug delivery purposes. In the present study, four derivatives of CS with trans-aconitic acid (t-Acon), succinic anhydride (Succ), 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (2-HEA) and acrylic acid (AA) were prepared, and their successful grafting was confirmed by FTIR and 1H-NMR spectroscopies. Neat chitosan and its grafted derivatives were fabricated for the encapsulation of fluticasone propionate (FLU) and salmeterol xinafoate (SX) drugs, used for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), via the ionotropic gelation technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs demonstrated that round-shaped microparticles (MPs) were effectively prepared with average sizes ranging between 0.4 and 2.2 μm, as were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS), while zeta potential verified in all cases their positive charged surface. FTIR spectroscopy showed that some interactions take place between the drugs and the polymeric matrices, while X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns exhibited that both drugs were encapsulated in MPs’ interior with a lower degree of crystallinity than the neat drugs. In vitro release studies of FLU and SX exposed a great amelioration in the drugs’ dissolution profile from all modified CS’s MPs, in comparison to those of neat drugs. The latter fact is attributed to the reduction in crystallinity of the active substances in the MPs’ interior.

Abstract
Iron-deficiency anemia is an important health problem in global public issues, and development of iron fortifiers in diets is essential for the decrease of iron deficiency. However, there are problems for iron fortification in food because the common bioavailable iron compounds would contribute to iron-promoted lipid oxidation and unpleasant iron odor, presenting an adverse food quality. Ferrous fumarate loaded microstructured gel beads were prepared by an emulsification-gelation method using an alginate-caseinate matrix, and the gel network was formed by crosslinking of Ca2+ or Fe2+. Internal gelated beads showed relatively symmetrical and homogeneous spheres with no adhesion due to the simultaneous release of Fe2+ to initiate gelation in situ. External gelated beads displayed an irregular and adhesive structure, probably because the random contact between Na-ALG and Ca2+ occurred on the droplet surface, and the immediately gelated hardening layer provided a delay for further Ca2+ diffusion. The gel beads exhibited a lag phase in the promotion of lipid oxidation of the emulsion and restrained the iron odor release from ferrous fumarate. Ferrous ion release from microstructured gel beads in the simulated gastric juice was obviously delayed before a more progressive high release in the simulated intestinal juice, beneficial for iron absorption in the duodenum. The iron encapsulated microstructured gel beads might be developed as a promising safe iron fortifier by relieving lipid oxidation and iron odor.

Abstract
Naringin (NG) has been proved to have numerous notable biological effects, including anti-inflammatory effect, anti-cancer effect, and anti-ulcer effect, yet there are no clinical preparations of naringin due to its poor solubility and low dissolution rate after oral administration. In this study, in order to overcome these problems, NG was encapsulated into MPEG-PCL micelles (NGMs) by using a thin-film hydration method. NMGs were in a typical core-shell structure, with a mall particle size (23.95 ± 0.51 nm), high drug loading, and encapsulation efficiency. In vitro release of NGMs indicated that the dissolution of NG was increased after being encapsulated in the micelles. NGMs were nontoxic in the cytotoxicity and histopathology studies. Furthermore, when the freeze-dried NGMs were compressed into buccal tablets (NGBTs) by direct compression, the release speed of NG under simulated oral cavity condition from NGBTs was higher than the control tablets, with the accumulated dissolution at 93.13% in 8 hours. In conclusion, NGMs and NGBTs represent a promising drug delivery system for NG, which has the potential to improve the current treatment of oral diseases.

Abstract
In the present study Aprepitant (APT) ternary solid dispersions (SDs) were developed and evaluated for the first time. Specifically, ternary SDs of APT with Poloxamer 188 and Soluplus® (SOL) were prepared via melt mixing and compared to binary APT/Poloxamer 188 and APT/SOL SDs. Initially, combined thermo-gravimetric and hot-stage polarized light microscopy studies indicated that all tested compounds were thermally stable up to 280 °C, while Poloxamer 188 acted as a plasticizer to SOL by significantly reducing the temperature required to fully solubilize the API during SD preparation. Differential scanning calorimetry combined with wide angle X-ray diffraction studies showed that crystalline API was dispersed in both binary and ternary SDs, while Fourier transformation-infrared spectroscopy studies revealed no molecular interactions among the components. Scanning electron microscopy combined with EDAX element analysis showed that the API was dispersed in nano-scale within the polymer matrices, while increasing APT content led to increasing API nano-crystals within the SDs. Finally, dissolution studies showed that the prepared formulations enhanced dissolution of Aprepitant and its mechanism analysis was further studied. A mathematical model was also investigated to evaluate the drug release mechanism.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to enhance the dissolution rate of carvedilol (CA), a poorly water-soluble antihypertensive drug, using a co-grinding method in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Various ratios of CA:PVP:SLS were ground by a planetary ball mill. They were studied in terms of dissolution, solubility, and particle size. The solid state and morphology of the intact drug and prepared samples were also characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). According to the results, co-grinding in the presence of PVP and SLS significantly increased CA dissolution rate. DE60 (dissolution efficiency) obtained for the best ternary ground mixture (89.31%) was 3.4 and 4.5 times higher than that of the related physical mixture (PM) and the intact drug, respectively. Further, the solubility of this formulation was about 10 times higher compared to that of the intact CA. A direct correlation was also observed between the chamber rotation speed of the planetary mill within the range of 100-400 rpm and CA dissolution rate. Finally, DSC, IR, and XRD analysis ruled out any polymorphic changes and chemical interactions during the grinding process.

Differential scanning calorimetry combined with wide angle X-ray diffraction studies showed that crystalline API was dispersed in both binary and ternary SDs, while Fourier transformation-infrared spectroscopy studies revealed no molecular interactions among the components. Scanning electron microscopy combined with EDAX element analysis showed that the API was dispersed in nano-scale within the polymer matrices, while increasing APT content led to increasing API nano-crystals within the SDs. Finally, dissolution studies showed that the prepared formulations enhanced dissolution of Aprepitant and its mechanism analysis was further studied. A mathematical model was also investigated to evaluate the drug release mechanism

Abstract
Herein, we report green synthesized nanoparticles based on stabilization by plant gums, loaded with citrus fruits flavonoids Hesperidin (HDN) and Naringin (NRG) as novel antimicrobial agents against brain-eating amoebae and multi-drug resistant bacteria. Nanoparticles were thoroughly characterized by using zetasizer, zeta potential, atomic force microscopy, ultravoilet-visible and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopic techniques. The size of these spherical nanoparticles was found to be in the range of 100-225 nm. The antiamoebic effects of these green synthesized Silver and Gold nanoparticles loaded with HDN and NRG were tested against Acanthamoeba castellanii and Naegleria fowleri, while antibacterial effects were evaluated against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and neuropathogenic Escherichia coli K1. Amoebicidal assays revealed that HDN loaded Silver nanoparticles stabilized by gum acacia (GA-AgNPs-HDN) quantitatively abolished amoeba viability by 100%, while NRG loaded Gold nanoparticles stabilized by gum tragacanth (GT-AuNPs-NRG) significantly reduced the viability of A. castellanii and N. fowleri at 50 µg per mL. Furthermore, these nanoparticles inhibited the encystation and excystation by more than 85%, as well as GA-AgNPs-HDN only completely obliterated amoeba-mediated host cells cytopathogenicity. Whereas, GA-AgNPs-HDN exhibited significant bactericidal effects against MRSA and E. coli K1 and reduced bacterial-mediated host cells cytotoxicity. Notably, when tested against human cells, these nanoparticles showed minimal (23%) cytotoxicity at even higher concentration of 100 µg per mL as compared to 50 µg per mL used for antimicrobial assays. Hence, these novel nanoparticles formulations hold potential as therapeutic agents against infections caused by brain-eating amoebae, as well as multi-drug resistant bacteria, and recommend a step forward in drug development.

Abstract
PURPOSE Dissolution behavior of dry powder inhaler (DPI) antibiotic formulations in the airways may affect their efficacy especially for poorly-soluble antibiotics such as azithromycin. The main objective of this study was to understand the effects of surface composition on the dissolution of spray dried azithromycin powders by itself and in combination with colistin. METHODS Composite formulations of azithromycin (a poorly water-soluble molecule) and colistin (a water-soluble molecule) were produced by spray drying. The resultant formulations were characterized for particle size, morphology, surface composition, solid-state properties, solubility and dissolution. RESULTS The results demonstrate that surfaces composition has critical impacts on the dissolution of composite formulations. Colistin was shown to increase the solubility of azithromycin. For composite formulations with no surface colistin, azithromycin released at a similar dissolution rate as the spray-dried azithromycin alone. An increase in surface colistin concentration was shown to accelerate the dissolution of azithromycin. The dissolution of colistin from the composite formulations was significantly slower than the spray-dried pure colistin. In addition, FTIR spectrum showed intermolecular interactions between azithromycin and colistin in the composite formulations, which could contribute to the enhanced solubility and dissolution of azithromycin. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides fundamental understanding of the effects of surface concentration of colistin on azithromycin dissolution of co-spray-dried composite powder formulations.

Abstract
Naringin is a naturally occurring flavanone with recognized neuroprotective, cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antiosteoporotic properties. Herein, the delivery of Naringin-loaded methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-maleimide-thiol-poly(l-lactide) (mPEGMSPLA) diblock polymeric micelles to human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) with the aim to augment its pro-osteogenic effect in these cells is reported for the first time. The synthesis of the diblock copolymer is performed via Michael-type addition reaction between hydrophilic methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-maleimide (mPEGMAL) and hydrophobic thiol-poly(l-lactide) (PLASH) and confirmed by 1 H NMR and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transformed infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. The resulting mPEGMSPLA copolymer self-assembles into monodispersed polymeric micelles (≈84.4 ± 2 nm) and presents a high Naringin encapsulation efficiency (87.8 ± 4%), with a sustained release profile at physiological pH. Alongside, in vitro data reveal that upon internalization into hASC 2D cultures, Naringin nanomicellar formulations attain a higher pro-osteogenic effect than that of free drug. Notably, these bioactive carriers also induce superior osteopontin expression and increase matrix mineralization in these cells over free drug administration. Overall, such findings support for the first time the use of polymeric nanomicelles for Naringin delivery into hASCs as a valid approach for modulating stem cell osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
The clinical potential of naringenin (NRG) is compromised due to its poor aqueous solubility and low oral bioavailability. The study is aimed at addressing these issues by means of naringenin nanosuspensions (NRG-NS) formulated using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP K-90) as stabiliser via antisolvent sonoprecipitation method. Optimisation of sonication time, drug concentration and stabilisers was done based on particle size. Characterisation of pure NRG and NRG-NS was carried out by scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), x-ray powder diffractometry (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In vitro dissolution, intestinal absorption by non-everted rat intestinal sac model and in situ single pass intestinal perfusion techniques were performed for further investigation. Nanosuspensions prepared using PVP K-90 lead to minimum particle size (117 ± 5 nm) with zeta potential of -14.6 ± 5.6 mV. The particle size was affected by increasing sonication time, concentration of stabiliser and drug. Nanosizing process converted the crystalline drug into amorphous form as predicted from DSC and XRD patterns. FTIR demonstrated the formation of hydrogen bonds between drug and polymer. NRG-NS displayed a higher dissolution amount (91 ± 4.4% during 60 min) compared to NRG powder (42 ± 0.41%). The apparent and effective permeability of NRG-NS was increased as compared to the pure NRG. The in vivo pharmacokinetics demonstrated that the C max and AUC0-24 h values of NRG-NS were approximately 2- and 1.8-fold superior than the pure drug. Hence, overall results confirmed nanosuspensions as promising approach for NRG delivery with high absorption in gastrointestinal tract, improved dissolution and oral bioavailability.

Abstract
The objective of the study was to improve the bioavailability and anticancer potential of naringenin (NRG) by developing a drug-loaded polymeric nanodelivery system. NRG-loaded eudragit E100 nanoparticle (NRG-EE100-NPs) system was developed and physicochemically characterized. In vivo pharmacokinetic and in vitro cytotoxicity abilities of the NRG-EE100-NPs were investigated. In vivo anticancer activity was evaluated in murine BALB/c mice-bearing colorectal tumor. The NRG-EE100-NPs had an optimum mean particle size (430.42 ± 5.78 nm), polydispersity index (0.283 ± 0.089) with percent entrapment efficiency (68.83 ± 3.45%). The NRG-EE100-NPs demonstrated significant higher bioavailability (∼96-fold; p <0.05) as well as cytotoxicity (∼16-fold; p <0.001) as compared to free NRG. Furthermore, NRG-EE100-NPs indicated significant tumor suppression (p <0.01) subsequently improvement in survival rate compared to free NRG in vivo. Thus, the physicochemical properties and colorectal cancer efficacy of NRG were improved by successful encapsulating in cationic-polymeric nanoparticle system.

Abstract
Liver cancer is the fifth most common cancer and is still one of the leading causes of death world wide, due to food additives, alcohol, fungal toxins, air, toxic industrial chemicals, and water pollutants. Chemopreventive drugs play a potential role in liver cancer treatment. Obviously in the production of anticancer drugs, the factors like poor solubility, bioavailability, biocompatibility, limited chemical stability, large amount of dose etc., plays a major role. Against this backdrop, the idea of designing the chemopreventive nature of bio flavanoid hesperetin (HP) drug conjugated with pegylated gold nanoparticles to increasing the solubility, improve bioavailability and enhance the targeting capabilities of the drug during diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induced liver cancer in male wistar albino rats. The dose fixation studies and the toxicity of pure HP and HP conjugated gold nanoparticles (Au-mPEG(5000)-S-HP) were analysed. After concluded the dose fixation and toxicity studies the experimental design were segregated in six groups for the anticancer analysis of DEN induced HCC for 16 weeks. After the experimental period the body weight, relative liver weight, number of nodules and size of nodules, the levels of tumor markers like CEA, AFP and the level of lipid peroxidation, lipid hydroperoxides and the activities of antioxidant enzymes were assessed. The administration of DEN to rats resulted in increased relative liver weight and serum marker enzymes aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase. The levels of lipid peroxides elevated (in both serum and tissue) with subsequent decrease in the final body weight and tissue antioxidants like superoxide dismutase, catalase, reduced glutathione, glutathione peroxidise, and glutathione reductase. HP supplementation (20 mg/kg b.wt) significantly attenuated these alterations, thereby showing potent anticancer effect in liver cancer and the HP loaded gold nanoparticels (Au-mPEG(5000)-S-HP) treated animals shows the better treatment than the pure HP due to the solubility of drug, bioavailability and the target drug delivery of the biodegradable polymer. Histological observations were also carried out, which added supports to the chemopreventive action of the pure HP and HP loaded gold nanoparticles (Au-mPEG(5000)-S-HP) against DEN induction during liver cancer progression. These findings suggest that HP loaded gold nanoparticels (Au-mPEG(5000)-S-HP) shows better efficacy than the pure HP against lipid peroxidation, hepatic cell damage and protects the antioxidant system in DEN induced hepatocellular carcinogenesis.

Abstract
The aim of the current study is to develop amorphous solid dispersion (SD) via hot melt extrusion technology to improve the solubility of a water-insoluble compound, felodipine (FEL). The solubility was dramatically increased by preparation of amorphous SDs via hot-melt extrusion with an amphiphilic polymer, Soluplus® (SOL). FEL was found to be miscible with SOL by calculating the solubility parameters. The solubility of FEL within SOL was determined to be in the range of 6.2-9.9% (w/w). Various techniques were applied to characterize the solid-state properties of the amorphous SDs. These included Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy to detect the formation of hydrogen bonding between the drug and the polymer. Scanning electron microscopy was performed to study the morphology of the SDs. Among all the hot-melt extrudates, FEL was found to be molecularly dispersed within the polymer matrix for the extrudates containing 10% drug, while few small crystals were detected in the 30 and 50% extrudates. In conclusion, solubility of FEL was enhanced while a homogeneous SD was achieved for 10% drug loading.
