Formulation and Evaluation of pH-Modulated Amorphous Solid Dispersion-Based Orodispersible Tablets of Cefdinir. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:866. [PMID: 39065563 PMCID: PMC11279461 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16070866] [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: 05/20/2024] [Revised: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Cefdinir (CEF) is a semi-synthetic third-generation broad-spectrum oral cephalosporin that exhibits poor solubility at lower pH values. Considering this, pH-modulated CEF solid dispersions (ASDs) were produced by solvent evaporation method employing various hydrophilic carriers and alkalizers. Among different carriers, ASDs produced using PEG 6000 with meglumine as alkalizer were found to significantly increase (p < 0.005) the drug solubility (4.50 ± 0.32 mg/mL) in pH 1.2. Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry confirmed chemical integrity of CEF while differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) indicated CEF was reduced to an amorphous state in ASD8. Antimicrobial assay performed by well diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC96) and Escherichia coli (MTCC118) demonstrated significantly superior (p < 0.001) efficacy of CEFSD compared to CEF. The porous orodispersible tablets (ODTs) of ASD8 (batch F5) were developed by incorporating ammonium bicarbonate as a subliming agent by direct compression, followed by vacuum drying displayed quick disintegration (27.11 ± 1.96 s) that met compendial norms and near-complete dissolution (93.85 ± 1.27%) in 30 min. The ODTs of ASD8 appear to be a promising platform to mitigate the pH-dependent solubility and dissolution issues associated with CEF in challenging physiological pH conditions prevalent in stomach. Thus, ODTs of ASD8 are likely to effectively manage various infections and avoid development of drug-resistant strains, thereby improving the curing rates.

Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexes with Antibiotics and Antibacterial Agents as Drug-Delivery Systems—A Pharmaceutical Perspective. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14071389. [PMID: 35890285 PMCID: PMC9323747 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14071389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Revised: 06/23/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are a family of cyclic oligosaccharides, consisting of a macrocyclic ring of glucose subunits linked by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds. The shape of CD molecules is similar to a truncated cone with a hydrophobic inner cavity and a hydrophilic surface, which allows the formation of inclusion complexes with various molecules. This review article summarises over 200 reports published by the end of 2021 that discuss the complexation of CDs with antibiotics and antibacterial agents, including beta-lactams, tetracyclines, quinolones, macrolides, aminoglycosides, glycopeptides, polypeptides, nitroimidazoles, and oxazolidinones. The review focuses on drug-delivery applications such as improving solubility, modifying the drug-release profile, slowing down the degradation of the drug, improving biological membrane permeability, and enhancing antimicrobial activity. In addition to simple drug/CD combinations, ternary systems with additional auxiliary substances have been described, as well as more sophisticated drug-delivery systems including nanosponges, nanofibres, nanoparticles, microparticles, liposomes, hydrogels, and macromolecules. Depending on the desired properties of the drug product, an accelerated or prolonged dissolution profile can be achieved when combining CD with antibiotics or antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
The formation of cefuroxime axetil+cyclodextrin (CA+CD) complexes increases the aqueous solubility of CA, improves its physico-chemical properties, and facilitates a biomembrane-mediated drug delivery process. In CD-based tablet formulations, it is crucial to investigate the molecular details of complexes in final pharmaceutical preparation. In this study, Raman spectroscopy and mapping were applied for the detection and identification of chemical groups involved in α-, β-, γ-, and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-CD (2-HP- β-CD)+CA complexation process. The experimental studies have been complemented by molecular dynamics-based investigations, providing additional molecular details of CA+CD interactions. It has been demonstrated that CA forms the guest–host type inclusion complexes with all studied CDs; however, the nature of the interactions is slightly different. It seems that both α- and β-CD interact with furanyl and methoxy moieties of CA, γ-CD forms a more diverse pattern of interactions with CA, which are not observed in other CDs, whereas 2HP-β-CD binds CA with the contribution of hydrogen bonding. Apart from supporting this interpretation of the experimental data, molecular dynamics simulations allowed for ordering the CA+CD binding affinities. The obtained results proved that the molecular details of the host–guest complexation can be successfully predicted from the combination of Raman spectroscopy and molecular modeling.

Abstract
Current scenario in asthmatic prevalence worldwide calls for a facile, cost-effective, and energy efficient methodology to formulate the potent bronchodilator, theophylline (THP), into an effective dosage forms. Since the uses of THP are severely impeded by its poor aqueous solubility and low bioavailability, solid inclusion complexes (ICs) of THP in β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) were prepared to overcome the limitations. The ICs were developed by conventional methods and also by microwave irradiation method, which is environmentally more benign and requires lesser reaction time. The complexation phenomenon was effectual by the co-precipitation, freeze-drying, and microwave methods as affirmed from various spectroscopic analyses. 1H NMR and molecular docking studies illustrated the total inclusion of THP into β-CD cavity. Better efficacy of the microwaved product was witnessed in terms of drug content, dissolution, and anti-biofilm activities. Thus microwave irradiation can be utilised as a naive and economical methodology to design β-CD-THP dosage formulations.
