Abstract
Psoriasis is a consistently recurring, inflammatory skin disease, affecting about 2 - 5 % of the world population. Different types of psoriasis can be observed such as guttate psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, scalp psoriasis, flexural psoriasis etc. Several therapeutic approaches are available for the treatment of psoriasis. However, none of them are entirely safe and effective to treat the disease without compromising patient compliance. The traditional treatment plan is associated with harmful side effects such asimmune system suppression and damage of essential organs at high doses, which poses a challenge to treat psoriasis. Novel drug delivery systems are being developed to replace traditional therapy in order to address these shortcomings. Currently, nanoformulations have gained widespread application for treatment of psoriasis. Researchers have developed different types of lipid-based nanoparticles like liposomes, niosomes, ethosomes, transethosomes, nanostructured lipid carriers and solid lipid nanoparticles. These innovative formulations provide advantages in terms of reduction in dose, dosing frequency, dose-dependency with enhanced efficacy, improved encapsulation efficiency, controlled release, increased surface area, high bioavailability and greater stratum corneum permeability. This review highlights detailed and comparative discussion of lipid-based and polymer-based nanoparticles for psoriasis along with the pathophysiology and other treatments of psoriasis.

A mechanistic physiologically based model to assess the effect of study design and modified physiology on formulation safe space for virtual bioequivalence of dermatological drug products. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:1007496. [PMID: 36532731 PMCID: PMC9756572 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.1007496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 10/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models are widely accepted tools utilised to describe and predict drug pharmacokinetics (PK). This includes the use of dermal PBPK models at the regulatory level including virtual bioequivalence (VBE) studies. The current work considers the Topicort® Spray formulation, which contains 0.25% desoximetasone (DSM), as an example formulation. Quantitative formulation composition and in vitro permeation testing (IVPT) data were obtained from the public literature to develop a mechanistic model using the multi-phase, multi-layer (MPML) MechDermA IVPT module in the Simcyp Simulator. In vitro-in vivo extrapolation functionality was used to simulate in vivo PK for various scenarios and predict a 'safe space' for formulation bioequivalence using the VBE module. The potential effect of vasoconstriction, impaired barrier function, and various dosing scenarios on the formulation safe space was also assessed. The model predicted 'safe space' for formulation solubility suggesting that a 50% change in solubility may cause bio-in-equivalence, whereas viscosity could deviate by orders of magnitude and the formulation may still remain bioequivalent. Evaporation rate and fraction of volatile components showed some sensitivity, suggesting that large changes in the volume or composition of the volatile fraction could cause bio-in-equivalence. The tested dosing scenarios showed decreased sensitivity for all formulation parameters with a decreased dose. The relative formulation bioequivalence was insensitive to vasoconstriction, but the safe space became wider with decreased barrier function for all parameters, except viscosity that was unaffected.

Abstract
Cerasomes (CS), evolved from liposomes, are novel drug-delivery systems that have potential medical application as carriers for drugs or active ingredients. Although many studies have been conducted on the pharmaceutical and physicochemical properties of CS, the role of CS in influencing the in vivo plasma and topical pharmacokinetics and efficacy of topical drug delivery remain unclear. In this context, we chose cryptotanshinone (CTS) as a model drug for the preparation of CTS-CS by means of the ethanol injection method to investigate their in vitro/in vivo drug-release behavior and in vivo efficacy. (1) In in vitro studies, CTS-CS gel was proven to be capable of achieving a higher permeation rate and significant accumulation in the dermis of isolated rat skin using Franz diffusion cells. (2) In in vivo studies, microdialysis experiments used to measure the plasma and topical pharmacokinetics demonstrated that the CS had a high drug concentration, short peak time, and slow elimination. Meanwhile, the plasma area under the concentration-time curve of CTS-CS gel was less than half that for the CTS gel in 12 h, which indicates that the drug bioavailability dramatically increased in the experiments. (3) In in vivo efficacy studies, we duplicated a rat acne model and performed antiacne efficacy experiments. The CTS-CS gel improved the antiacne efficacy compared to that of ordinary CTS gel. Moreover, it inhibited the expression of interleukin-1α and androgen receptors effectively. All of these results show that CTS-CS gel has significant potential for the treatment of acne induced by inflammation and excessive secretion of androgen, suggesting that CS formulations were designed as a good therapeutic option for skin disease.

Abstract
Adequate drug penetration to a site of infection is absolutely imperative to ensure sufficient antimicrobial treatment. Microdialysis is a minimally invasive, versatile technique, which can be used to study the penetration of an antiinfective agent in virtually any tissue of interest. It has been used to investigate drug distribution and pharmacokinetics in variable patient populations, as a tool in dose optimization, a potential utility in therapeutic drug management, and in the study of biomarkers of disease progression. While all of these applications have not been fully explored in the field of antiinfectives, this review provides an overview of how microdialysis has been applied in various phases of drug development, a focus on the specific applications in the subspecialties of infectious disease (treatment of bacterial, fungal, viral, parasitic, and mycobacterial infections), and developing applications (biomarkers and therapeutic drug management).

Abstract
The assessment of skin uptake and clearance are important to determine the efficiency and systemic safety of dermatological formulations. The objective of this study was to assess the skin uptake, clearance and possible systemic delivery of ciclopirox following topical application in Wistar rats. In vitro studies (3 h) were carried out in excised pig skin to assess the permeation and retention capacity of ciclopirox in skin layers using gel formulations (1% and 2% w/v). In vivo dermatopharmacokinetics (DPK) parameters were determined by measuring the drug levels in the skin as a function of time post application (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 h) and post removal (3, 4, 6 and 8 h) of the formulation in Wistar rats. The plasma drug concentrations were also determined in the same animals. In vitro data indicate the low permeability and high retention of ciclopirox in the stratum corneum. The DPK data observed indicate a higher Cmax value (175.43 ± 25.62 μg/cm2) and AUC (632.14 ± 102.26 μg.h/cm2) with the 2% (w/v) gel formulation. Further, the skin elimination of ciclopirox follows first order kinetics with a short half-life (t1/2 ~2 h). The fraction of drug reaching the systemic circulation was found to be significantly low (~0.15% of the applied dose). A relation between the drug concentration in the skin layers and the plasma was observed with a short lag period. The topical availability of ciclopirox was found to be relatively low and endured rapid clearance with minimal systemic uptake.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to design a novel topical skin-target drug-delivery system, the paeonol microsponge, and to investigate its drug-release patterns in dosage form, both in vitro and in vivo. Paeonol microsponges were prepared using the quasi-emulsion solvent-diffusion method. In vitro release studies were carried out using Franz diffusion cells, while in vivo studies were investigated by microdialysis after the paeonol microsponges were incorporated into a cream base. In vitro release studies showed that the drug delivered via microsponges increased the paeonol permeation rate. Ex vivo drug-deposition studies showed that the microsponge formulation improved drug residence in skin. In addition, in vivo microdialysis showed that the values for the area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) for the paeonol microsponge cream was much higher than that of paeonol cream without microsponges. Maximum time (Tmax) was 220 min for paeonol microsponge cream and 480 min for paeonol cream, while the half-life (t1/2) of paeonol microsponge cream (935.1 min) was almost twice that of paeonol cream (548.6 min) in the skin (n = 3). Meanwhile, in the plasma, the AUC value for paeonol microsponge cream was half that of the paeonol cream. Based on these results, paeonol-loaded microsponge formulations could be a better alternative for treating skin disease, as the formulation increases drug bioavailability by lengthening the time of drug residence in the skin and should reduce side-effects because of the lower levels of paeonol moving into the circulation.

Abstract
Assessing the bioavailability of drug molecules at the site of action provides better insight into the efficiency of a dosage form. However, determining drug concentration in the skin layers following topical application of dermatological formulations is a great challenge. The protocols followed in oral formulations could not be applied for topical dosage forms. The regulatory agencies are considering several possible approaches such as tape stripping, microdialysis etc. On the other hand, the skin bioavailability assessment of xenobiotics is equally important for topical formulations in order to evaluate the toxicity. It is always possible that drug molecules applied on the skin surface may transport thorough the skin and reaches systemic circulation. Thus the real time measurement of molecules in the skin layer has become obligatory. In the last two decades, quite a few investigations have been carried out to assess the skin bioavailability and toxicity of topical/dermatological products. This review provides current understanding on the basics of dermatokinetics, drug depot formation, skin metabolism and clearance of drug molecules from the skin layers following application of topical formulations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Use of coital-dependent products to prevent HIV-1 transmission has resulted in mixed success. We hypothesize that incorporation of antiviral drug candidates into a novel controlled delivery system will prolong their activity, making their use coital independent, thus increasing their chance of prophylactic success. METHODS Tenofovir, emtricitabine, and C5A peptide HIV microbicides were mechanically incorporated into matrices comprising a series of subliming solids. Matrix sublimation rates and drug release rates were measured in three in vitro and one in vivo environments intended to model human vaginal interior. Antiviral activity studies evaluating matrix incorporated microbicides were performed using in vitro cell cultures and human ectocervical explants. RESULTS Drug release rates were identical to matrix sublimation rates, and were zero order. Differences in matrix material sublimation enthalpies determined drug release and matrix erosion rates in a thermodynamically definable manner, in vitro and in vivo. Durations of release ranging from several days to several months were readily achieved. Prolonged duration of anti HIV-1 activity was shown for matrix incorporated microbicides, using ectocervical explant and cell culture models of HIV-1 infection. CONCLUSION Subliming solid matrices show promise as a delivery system providing multi month intravaginal release of a wide range of HIV-1 microbicides.
