Ambagaspitiya TD, Garza DJC, Skelton E, Kubacki E, Knight A, Bergmeier SC, Cimatu KLA. Using the pH sensitivity of switchable surfactants to understand the role of the alkyl tail conformation and hydrogen bonding at a molecular level in elucidating emulsion stability. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 678:164-175. [PMID: 39186896 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.08.156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2024] [Revised: 08/17/2024] [Accepted: 08/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The monoalkyl diamine surfactant, N-dodecylpropane-1,3-diamine (DPDA), is expected to exhibit a pH-dependent charge switchability. In response to pH changes, the interfacial self-assembly of DPDA becomes an intermediary constituent that can potentially modify the interfacial interactions and structural assembly of both the oil and water phases. Hence, we hypothesize that as we change the pH, DPDA will respond to it by changing its charge and alkyl tail conformation as well as the conformation of adjacent phases at the molecular level, consequently affecting emulsion formation and stability. A neutral pH, resulting in a mono-cationic dialkyl amine, affects the conformation, driving an ordered self-assembly and stable emulsion. EXPERIMENTS The pH-sensitivity and interfacial activity of DPDA were evaluated through pH titration and interfacial tension measurements. Subsequently, a molecular-level study of DPDA, as a pH-sensitive switchable surfactant, was performed at the dodecane-water interface using SFG spectroscopy. The interpretation of the vibrational spectra was further reinforced by determining the gauche defects in the interfacial alkyl chain organization and the extent of hydrogen (H) bonding between the interfacial water molecules. FINDINGS By adjusting the pH of water, the charge of the adsorbed DPDA molecules, their self-assembly, the organization of interfacial molecules, and ultimately the stability of the emulsion were tuned. At pH 7.0, the SFG spectra of DPDA showed that the interfacial alkyl chains were relatively well-ordered, while water molecules also had stronger H-bonding interactions. As a result, the oil-water emulsion showed improved stability. When water was at a high pH, the water molecules had fewer H-bonding interactions and relatively disordered alkyl chains at the interface, providing desirable conditions for demulsification. These observations were compatible with the observation in bulk emulsion preparation, confirming that alkyl chain packing and water H-bonding interactions at the interface contribute to overall emulsion stability.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting are defined as the most common of side effects of treatment and, at the same time, are very difficult to accept for patients', frequently causing changes in the therapy regimen, significantly reducing its effectiveness. Thus, an antiemetic prophylactic is essential to the provision of such a therapy for the patient. Pharmacotherapy often includes various drugs, including antiemetics, with the administration of such drugs by injection through two separate catheters being the preferred method. However, the co-administration of drugs and parenteral nutrition admixtures (PNAs) requires the consideration of compatibility, stability and potential negative interactions. To meet the purposes of clinical pharmacy, a compatibility test of ondansetron, dexamethasone and hydrocortisone with paediatric PNAs was conducted. PNAs differ in the composition of amino acid source (Primene® or Aminoplasmal Paed® 10%) and the type of injectable lipid emulsion (Lipidem® 200 mg/mL, Clinoleic® 20%, SMOFlipid® 200 mg/mL, Intralipid® 20%). An in vitro evaluation was performed in a static way as a simulated co-administration through a Y-site. The drug PNA ratios were determined based on the extreme infusion rates contained in the characteristics of medicinal products. All calculations were performed for a hypothetical patient aged 7 years weighing 24 kg. As a result of this study, it can be concluded that all tested PNAs showed the required stability in the range of parameters such as pH, osmolality, turbidity, zeta potential, MDD and homogeneity. The co-administration of antiemetic drugs does not adversely affect lipid emulsion stability. This combination was consistently compatible during the evaluation period.

Honokiol-Loaded Nanoemulsion for Glioblastoma Treatment: Statistical Optimization, Physicochemical Characterization, and an In Vitro Toxicity Assay. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020448. [PMID: 36839769 PMCID: PMC9959519 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Glioblastoma (GBM) is an extremely invasive and heterogenous malignant brain tumor. Despite advances in current anticancer therapy, treatment options for glioblastoma remain limited, and tumor recurrence is inevitable. Therefore, alternative therapies or new active compounds that can be used as adjuvant therapy are needed. This study aimed to develop, optimize, and characterize honokiol-loaded nanoemulsions intended for intravenous administration in glioblastoma therapy. METHODS Honokiol-loaded nanoemulsion was developed by incorporating honokiol into Lipofundin MCT/LCT 20% using a horizontal shaker. The Box-Behnken design, coupled with response surface methodology, was used to optimize the incorporation process. The effect of the developed formulation on glioblastoma cell viability was determined using the MTT test. Long-term and short-term stress tests were performed to evaluate the effect of honokiol on the stability of the oil-in-water system and the effect of different stress factors on the stability of honokiol, respectively. Its physicochemical properties, such as MDD, PDI, ZP, OSM, pH, and loading efficiency (LE%), were determined. RESULTS The optimized honokiol-loaded nanoemulsion was characterized by an MDD of 201.4 (0.7) nm with a PDI of 0.07 (0.02) and a ZP of -28.5 (0.9) mV. The LE% of honokiol was above 95%, and pH and OSM were sufficient for intravenous administration. The developed formulation was characterized by good stability and a satisfactory toxicity effect of the glioblastoma cell lines. CONCLUSIONS The honokiol-loaded nanoemulsion is a promising pharmaceutical formulation for further development in the adjuvant therapy of glioblastoma.

Abstract
A ciprofloxacin-loaded water-in-oil nanoemulsion (CPX-NE) was prepared and evaluated for the antimicrobial effect against oral biofilms produced by Enterococcus faecalis. CPX-NE was prepared by ultrasonication using functional excipients oleic acid (oil phase), Span 80 (surfactant), and Transcutol P (cosurfactant). Rheological parameters (viscosity = 20 ± 1.24 cp) confirmed optimum values for CPX-NE, a pH of 6.5 ± 0.23 suggested the simulation of CPX-NE with the pH of the mouth cavity, refractive index (1.46 ± 0.22), and % transmittance (92.34 ± 0.02) indicated the isotropic nature of the NE. The droplet size (72.19 ± 1.68 nm), polydispersity index (0.142 ± 0.02), and ζ potential (-28 mV) demonstrated a narrow size distribution and electrostatically stabilized NE. The morphology of the optimized formulation showed uniform spherical nanodroplets, as seen in fluorescence microscopy. In vitro drug release showed an initial burst effect followed by sustained release for 48 h, following Fick's diffusion. The minimum biofilm inhibitory and eradication concentration (MBIC/MBEC) was determined to compare CPX-NE with ciprofloxacin plain drug solution (CPX-PS) for their efficacy. CPX-NE demonstrated a significant inhibitory and eradication effect compared to CPX-PS. It was concluded that the developed CPX-NE has effective antibiofilm activity against E. faecalis and may be useful in the prevention and treatment of dental caries.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to develop transferrin-conjugated nanoemulsions utilizing hydrophobic ion pairing for a targeted cellular uptake.
Methods
In the lipophilic phase of nanoemulsion composed of 60% oleic acid, 30% Capmul MCM EP and 10% Span 85, 1% cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and 3% phosphatidic acid (PA) were incorporated. After emulsification, the resulting droplets were decorated with human protein transferrin via hydrophobic ion pairing with PA and characterized regarding droplet size and zeta potential. Subsequently, cellular uptake of transferrin-conjugated nanoemulsion was investigated on Caco-2 and HeLa cell lines and determined by flow cytometry, cell lysis method and live cell imaging using confocal laser scanning microscopy.
Results
The nanoemulsion showed a droplet size of 123.03 ± 2.1 nm and zeta potential of − 54.5 mV that changed because of the surface decoration with transferrin to 182.7 ± 0.2 and + 30.2 mV, respectively. Within the uptake studies utilizing flow cytometry, transferrin-conjugated nanoemulsion showed a 5.2-fold higher uptake in Caco-2 cells and twofold improvement in case of HeLa cells compared with unmodified formulation. The outcome was confirmed visually via live cell imaging.
Conclusion
According to the results, transferrin-conjugated nanoemulsion might be considered as a promising drug delivery system for a selective receptor-mediated drug delivery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Norcantharidin (NCTD) has a certain degree of hydrophilicity and poor lipophilicity, and has some side-effects, including short t1/2, vascular irritation, cardiotoxicity and nephrotoxicity, which bring difficulties for formulation research. In this study, we aim to develop a novel nanocarrier to improve encapsulation efficiency, increase sterilization stability and enhance antitumor activity. METHODS Phospholipid complexes methods were used for increasing the lipophilicity of norcantharidin (NCTD), then NCTD phospholipid complexes were not only loaded in the oil phase and oil-water interface surface, but also encapsulated in phospholipid bilayers to obtain NCTD liposome-emulsion hybrid (NLEH) delivery system. The in vitro cytotoxicity and apoptosis, in vivo tissue distribution, tumor penetration, heterotopic and orthotopic antitumor studies were conducted to evaluate therapeutic effect. RESULTS NLEH exhibited an improved encapsulation efficiency (89.3%) and a better sterilization stability, compared to NCTD liposomes and NCTD emulsions. NLEH can achieve a better antitumor activity by promoting absorption (1.93-fold), prolonging blood circulation (2.08-fold), enhancing tumor-targeting accumulation (1.19 times), improving tumor penetration, and increasing antitumor immunity. CONCLUSIONS The liposome-emulsion hybrid (LEH) delivery system was potential carrier for NCTD delivery, and LEH could open opportunities for delivery of poorly soluble anticancer drugs, especially drugs that are more hydrophilicity than lipophilicity.

Abstract
This review is devoted to the application of bulk synthetic polymers such as polysulfone (PSf), polyethersulfone (PES), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) for the separation of oil-water emulsions. Due to the high hydrophobicity of the presented polymers and their tendency to be contaminated with water-oil emulsions, methods for the hydrophilization of membranes based on them were analyzed: the mixing of polymers, the introduction of inorganic additives, and surface modification. In addition, membranes based on natural hydrophilic materials (cellulose and its derivatives) are given as a comparison.

Abstract
Epilepsy is defined as a group of concerning problems related to the nervous system; its defining feature is a predisposition to epileptic seizures. The frequency of seizures in intensive care units (ICU) ranges from 3.3% to 34%, and ICU antiepileptic treatment is routine practice. The administration of drugs through the same infusion line is not recommended but is common clinical practice, especially in ICU. Incompatibilities between parenteral drugs and between drugs and parenteral nutrition admixtures (PNAs) are common medical errors and pose risks to patient safety. The co-administration of drugs must always be confirmed and clearly defined. The simultaneous infusion of sodium valproate (VPA, drug used to treat seizures and epilepsy) with parenteral PNAs has not yet been studied. During the experiment reported in this study, a visual control, pH, osmolality, zeta potential, particle size, polydispersity index, and turbidity were measured. The conducted research shows that the lipid emulsion composition has a significant influence on drug–PN (drug–parenteral nutrition) compatibility. The acceptance criteria were met only for PNs containing omega-3-acid-triglycerides (Omegaflex special and peri). The second fraction of particles above 1000 nm was observed for most of the tested PNAs (Lipoflex special, Lipoflex peri, Kabiven, SmofKabiven, Kabiven Peripheral, and Olimel Peri N4E), which disqualifies their simultaneous administration with VPA.

Abstract
The administration of three-in-one parenteral nutrition (PN) admixtures to pediatric patients requires special consideration, specifically concerning quality and physicochemical stability. The introduction of a new parenteral amino acid solution into the market prompted us to evaluate Aminoplasmal Paed-based PN admixtures’ stability. The study aimed to determine the physicochemical parameters of the chosen variations of PN admixtures and search for a correlation between its composition and those parameters. One hundred and sixty-eight variations of PN admixtures intended for patients weighing from 10 to 25 kg and aged from 1 to 12 years and differing in the quantitative composition of electrolytes were selected for the study. The samples were prepared using each of the four intravenous lipid emulsions dedicated to pediatric patients: Intralipid 20%, Clinoleic 20%, Lipidem 20%, and Smoflipid 20%. The stability of the PN admixtures was assessed by visual inspection and determination of pH, osmolality, zeta potential, and hydrodynamic mean droplet diameter (MDD) immediately upon preparation and after seven days of storage at the temperature of 5 ± 1 °C with light protection. Pearson’s correlation was used to quantify the relationships between selected ingredients of the PN admixtures and the physicochemical parameters. The PN admixtures were characterized by pH ranging from 5.91 to 7.04, osmolality ranging from 1238 to 1678 mOsm/kg, and zeta potential ranging from −41.3 to −2.16 mV. The changes in pH and osmolality after seven days of storage did not exceed 0.2 and 4.4%, respectively. The homogeneity of the PN admixtures was confirmed by determining the polydispersity index, which ranged from 0.06 to 0.2. The MDD of the studied formulas ranged from 235 to 395 nm and from 233 to 365 nm immediately upon preparation and after the storage period, respectively. Correlations between selected components of the PN admixtures and some physicochemical parameters were found. All Aminoplasmal Paed 10%-based PN admixtures were characterized by appropriate physicochemical quality to be administered via the central veins, both immediately upon preparation and after seven days of storage at the temperature of 5 ± 1 °C with light protection. The applied electrolyte concentrations ranges and types of lipid emulsions in the selected macronutrient quantitative compositions allowed the PN admixtures to remain stable for seven days within the specified limits.

Abstract
The effect of polymer adsorption on the stability and viable shelf life of 55 μm diameter oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions containing the steroid, betamethasone 21-phosphate was investigated. Two acrylate polymers, Carbopol® 971P and 974P, were added in the role of emulsion stabilizers to a model system, representing a non-ionic low molecular weight surfactant-stabilized emulsion (topically applied medicinal cream). For the purposes of this study the dosage of the viscosifier was maintained below 1% w/v and consequently, the consistency of the emulsion was measured in the diluted form. One of the polymers was responsible for elevated degrees of droplet creaming and coalescence and this was closely linked to its surface tension lowering capacity. This lowering was seen at 62 mN/m compared to the routine values at equivalent concentrations of 68 mN/m and 35 mN/m for the betamethasone drug and non-ionic surfactant-Tween 80, respectively. The same polymer also demonstrated a predisposition to form low-micron and greater sized aggregates of nanoparticles that led to extensive flocculation and the formation of a sedimentary precipitate, formed from an amalgam of the components found in the creamed droplet layer.

Abstract
Micrometer-sized water droplets dispersed in diesel fuel are stabilized by the fuel's surface-active additives, such as mono-olein and poly(isobutylene)succinimide (PIBSI), making the droplets challenging for coalescing filters to separate. Dynamic material properties found from interfacial rheology are known to influence the behavior of microscale droplets in coalescing filters. In this work, we study the interfacial dilatational properties of water-in-fuel interfaces laden with mono-olein and PIBSI, with a fuel phase of clay-treated ultra-low sulphur diesel (CT ULSD). First, the dynamic interfacial tension (IFT) is measured using pendant drop tensiometry, and a curvature-dependent form of the Ward and Tordai diffusion equation is applied for extracting the diffusivity of the surfactants. Additionally, Langmuir kinetics are applied to the dynamic IFT results to obtain the maximum surface concentration (Γ∞) and ratio of adsorption to desorption rate constants (κ). We then use a capillary pressure microtensiometer to measure the interfacial dilatational modulus, and further extract the characteristic frequency of surfactant exchange (ω0) by fitting a model assuming diffusive exchange between the interface and bulk. In this measurement, 50-100 μm diameter water droplets are pinned at the tip of a glass capillary in contact with the surfactant-containing fuel phase, and small amplitude capillary pressure oscillations over a range of frequencies from 0.45-20 rad s-1 are applied to the interface, inducing changes in interfacial tension and area to yield the dilatational modulus, E*(ω). Over the range of concentrations studied, the dilatational modulus of CT ULSD with either mono-olein or PIBSI increases with a decrease in bulk concentration and plateaus at the lowest concentrations of mono-olein. Characteristic frequency (ω0) values extracted from the fit are compared with those calculated using equilibrium surfactant parameters (κ and Γ∞) derived from pendant drop tensiometry, and good agreement is found between these values. Importantly, the results imply that diffusive exchange models based on the equilibrium relationships between surfactant concentration and interfacial tension can be used to infer the dynamic dilatational behavior of complex surfactant systems, such as the water-in-diesel fuel interfaces in this study.

Abstract
In this study, the general processability of cannabidiol (CBD) in colloidal lipid carriers was investigated. Due to its many pharmacological effects, the pharmaceutical use of this poorly water-soluble drug is currently under intensive research and colloidal lipid emulsions are a well-established formulation option for such lipophilic substances. To obtain a better understanding of the formulability of CBD in lipid emulsions, different aspects of CBD loading and its interaction with the emulsion droplets were investigated. Very high drug loads (>40% related to lipid content) could be achieved in emulsions of medium chain triglycerides, rapeseed oil, soybean oil and trimyristin. The maximum CBD load depended on the type of lipid matrix. CBD loading increased the particle size and the density of the lipid matrix. The loading capacity of a trimyristin emulsion for CBD was superior to that of a suspension of solid lipid nanoparticles based on trimyristin (69% vs. 30% related to the lipid matrix). In addition to its localization within the lipid core of the emulsion droplets, cannabidiol was associated with the droplet interface to a remarkable extent. According to a stress test, CBD destabilized the emulsions, with phospholipid-stabilized emulsions being more stable than poloxamer-stabilized ones. Furthermore, it was possible to produce emulsions with pure CBD as the dispersed phase, since CBD demonstrated such a pronounced supercooling tendency that it did not recrystallize, even if cooled to -60 °C.

Abstract
Colloidal lipid emulsions are a promising formulation option for poorly water-soluble drugs. Due to their complex composition, they provide different sites for the localization of drugs. Drug molecules can be situated in the lipid matrix, in the aqueous phase with its structures formed by an excess of emulsifier or at the droplet interface. The interface and the mechanism of stabilization is mainly characterized by the emulsifier. In this study, the main focus was on the influence of drug localization on the stability of emulsions sterically stabilized with poloxamer188. In addition to 5% of this non-ionic emulsifier, the emulsions contained 10% soybean oil. The localization of the drugs fenofibrate, curcumin, betamethasone valerate, cinnarizine, dibucaine and flufenamic acid within the emulsion system at a physiological pH of 7.4 as well as their influence on emulsion stability were examined. The results indicated that the stability of poloxamer 188-stabilized emulsions can be influenced in a positive or negative way by the localization of drug molecules in the interface of emulsion droplets. Applying cinnarizine as model substance at pH 5, 7.4 and 10, no pronounced change in the localization was detected as a result of alterations in the charge of the drug.

Abstract
When poorly water-soluble drugs are formulated in colloidal lipid emulsions, adequate stability of the emulsion must be ensured. The aim of this work was to investigate different aspects related to drug loading in order to gain a better understanding on how drugs affect the stability of phospholipid-stabilised emulsions. To obtain information on emulsion stability, a rapid and reproduceable shaking test was developed. A passive loading approach was applied for drug loading of the commercially available nanoemulsion Lipofundin® MCT/LCT 10% with seven drugs of different charge and localisation tendency within the emulsion system. Localisation of drug molecules in the droplet interface did not generally lead to destabilisation of the emulsion, whereas the charge of the drug was of decisive importance. Aspects such as the drug concentration, its influence on the pH and the impact of zeta potential changes had an influence on emulsion stability as well. Certain destabilising effects of drugs could be counteracted by modification of the pH. Lipofundin® MCT/LCT 10%, passively loaded with propofol, was compared with two commercially available propofol preparations. No negative effect of the passive loading procedure could be detected.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to review the reported information about the phospholipid composition of lecithins derived from several natural sources (lipids of plant, animal, and marine origin) and describe their main applications for the cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical sectors. This study was carried out using specialized search engines and according to the following inclusion criteria: (i) documents published between 2005 and 2020, (ii) sources of lecithins, (iii) phospholipidic composition of lecithins, and (iv) uses and applications of lecithins. Nevertheless, this work is presented as a narrative review. Results of the review indicated that the most studied source of lecithin is soybean, followed by sunflower and egg yolk. Contrarily, only a few numbers of reports focused on lecithins derived from marine animals despite the relevance of this source in association with an even higher composition of phospholipids than in case of those derived from plant sources. Finally, the main applications of lecithins were found to be related to their nutritional aspects and ability as emulsion stabilizers and lipid component of liposomes.

Entrapping bupivacaine-loaded emulsions in a crosslinked-hydrogel increases anesthetic effect and duration in a rat sciatic nerve block model. Int J Pharm 2020; 588:119703.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to evaluate a novel long-acting bupivacaine delivery system for control of postoperative pain. Bupivacaine-loaded lipid emulsion (BLE) droplets were created by high-speed homogenization. The BLE droplets were then entrapped into a crosslinked-hyaluronic acid hydrogel system to create an injectable composite gel formulation (HA-BLE). Dynamic light scattering, rheological, and drug release techniques were used to characterize the formulations. A rat sciatic nerve block with a thermal nociceptive assay was used to evaluate the anesthetic effect in comparison to controls, bupivacaine HCl and liposomal bupivacaine. The BLE droplets had a zeta potential, droplet size, and polydispersity index of -40.8 ± 0.66 mV, 299 ± 1.77 nm, and 0.409 ± 0.037, respectively. The HA-BLE formulation could be injected through 25 g needles and had an elastic modulus of 372 ± 23.7 Pa. Approximately 80% and 100% of bupivacaine was released from the BLE and HA-BLE formulations by 20 and 68 h, respectively. The HA-BLE formulation had a 5-times greater anesthetic area under the curve and an anesthetic duration that was twice as long as controls. Results indicate that incorporating the BLEs into the hydrogel significantly increased anesthetic effect by protecting the BLE droplets from the in vivo environment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Supplementation of parenteral nutrition (PN) admixtures with other parenteral drugs may be desired especially in the case of polypharmacy and limited vascular access. Metronidazole (MTZ) is administered in surgical and critically ill patients often requiring concomitant nutritional therapy in the form of parenteral nutrition. The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibility of the concomitant administration of MTZ with PN admixtures from one container. METHODS MTZ (1500 mg) was combined with six different PN admixtures and stored for 7 days before the simulation of administration. The mean droplet size (MDS) of the lipid emulsion, zeta potential, color, and pH of the tested samples were determined every 24 h. The content of MTZ was determined by the high-performance liquid chromatography method within the same time frames. RESULTS PN admixtures supplemented with MTZ were characterized by a pH range from 6.19 to 6.38 and zeta potential range from -21.6 mV to -8.8 mV. For all samples the pharmacopeial criteria for intravenously administered emulsions were met: The visual inspection showed no sign of emulsion destabilization or precipitation, and the MDS was <500 nm. The MTZ content remained >90% of the initial value throughout the whole study period. CONCLUSIONS Results showed the physicochemical compatibility and stability of PN admixtures supplemented with MTZ at the dose of 1500 mg. Such formulations can be stored at a temperature of 5°C for up to 7 d before administration to the patient.

Abstract
A serious problem in everyday clinical practice is the co-administration of drugs using the same infusion line. Potential complications of co-administration of incompatible drugs include precipitation in the infusion line or central venous catheter leading to its occlusion. Administration of precipitate and large lipid droplets into the venous system may lead to the embolization of capillaries and local or systemic inflammatory reactions, with the consequences of venous thrombosis, chronic venous insufficiency, and even pulmonary embolism. The co-administration of drugs must always be confirmed and clearly defined. The study aimed to determine the interaction between colistin (COL) in the dose used during intermittent hemodialysis and five different ready-to-use PN admixtures (PN) (Kabiven, Smofkabiven, Olimel N9E, Nutriflex Lipid Special, and Nutriflex Omega Special). COL-PN compatibilities were tested by comparing physicochemical properties (pH, zeta potential, lipid emulsion particle size) of COL and PN at three time points: immediately after sample preparation, after ten minutes, and after four hours. No changes in the visual inspection were observed. Both PN without COL and COL-PN samples remained white, homogeneous oil-in-water emulsions with no signs of phase separation, precipitation, or color change. There were no significant changes in pH, and the mean droplet diameter remained below the acceptance limit of 500 nm. The zeta potential and osmolality of COL-PN samples ranged from -21.4 to -7.22 mV and from 567 to 1304 mOsm/kg, respectively. The COL does not influence the physical stability of studied PN admixtures. The co-infusion of COL with Kabiven, Nutriflex Lipid Special, Olimel N9E, Nutriflex Omega Special, and Smofkabiven is possible in the dose used during intermittent hemodialysis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Propofol and remifentanil often need to be co-administered via the same intravenous catheter line, which predisposes to potential compatibility issues. Our aim was to determine and compare the emulsion stability of three propofol formulations, two with medium chain triglycerides and one with long chain triglycerides, when administered together with remifentanil hydrochloride.
Methods
Remifentanil hydrochloride (Ultiva
®
) 50 µg/mL was mixed with two concentrations (10 and 20 mg/mL) of each propofol formulation in mixing ratios 10+1, 20+1, 1+1 and 1+20. Emulsion stability was assessed immediately after mixing and 4 hours later by measurements of pH, mean droplet diameter, polydispersity index, and calculating percentage of fat residing in globules>5 µm (PFAT5).
Results
High PFAT5 values were observed in certain mixing ratios. The correlation between elevated PFAT5 and high propofol concentration (20 mg/mL), when remifentanil was in abundance and for long contact time indicated that these factors influenced the stability of the propofol emulsions.
Conclusions
Stability differences between the propofol formulations were identified under extreme test conditions. Co-administration of remifentanil and propofol in the same i.v. line is safe when propofol is in abundance. Caution is advised when remifentanil is present in equal parts or in abundance when co-administered with propofol 20 mg/mL.

Abstract
Having various domains of applicability, liposomes have been the issue of many studies since 1960s. Kinetically stable nature of liposomes required incorporation of other substituents to gain storage stability and interaction of liposomes with polymers, electrolytes, proteins or lipids still requires further investigation to explain the underlying mechanism. In this study, polyphenol-rich green tea extract was encapsulated into liposomes by means of microfluidization in two different aqueous media (pH = 3.8 acetate buffer and pH = 6.5 distilled water). Antioxidant loaded vesicles were further mixed with anionic biopolymers (gum arabic, whey protein) and cationic biopolymers (lysozyme, chitosan) separately. The physical and chemical interactions between liposomes and biopolymers were rationalized by particle size, zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity measurements during 28-days storage at 4 °C. Experimental results indicated that the biopolymer incorporated liposomes showed better stability compared to control liposomes during storage, developing resistance against changes in particle size and zeta potential. On the other hand, biopolymer interaction mechanisms were shown to be different for different biopolymers. As was also proved by transmission electron microscopy, lysozyme was absorbed into the liposomes while gum arabic, whey protein and chitosan were adsorbed on the vesicle surface to shield green tea extract loaded liposomes.

Abstract
Patients referred to intensive care units (ICU) require special care due to their life-threatening condition, diseases and, frequently, malnutrition. Critically ill patients manifest a range of typical physiological changes caused by predominantly catabolic reactions in the body. It is necessary to provide the patients with proper nutrition, for example by administering total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The addition of linezolid to TPN mixtures for patients treated for linezolid-sensitive infections may reduce the extent of vascular access handling, resulting in a diminished risk of unwanted catheter-related infections. The compatibility and stability studies were conducted of linezolid in parenteral nutrition mixtures of basic, high- and low-electrolytic, high- and low-energetic and immunomodulatory composition. Mixtures containing linezolid were stored at 4–6 °C and 25 °C with light protection and at 25 °C without light protection for 168 h. In order to evaluate changes in the concentration of linezolid a previously validated reversed-phase HPLC method with UV detection was used. It was found that linezolid was stable at 4–6 °C in the whole course of the study whereas at 25 °C it proved stable over a period of 24 h required for administration of parenteral nutrition mixtures. The TPN mixtures demonstrated compatibility with linezolid and suitable stability, which were not affected by time or storage conditions.

Abstract
Background: Ampicillin (AMP) is frequently administered parenterally in critically ill patients with meningitis or endocarditis. Many of them require parallel infusion of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) admixtures. The aim of the study was to determine the physicochemical stability of AMP in TPN admixtures. Methods: AMP was added to two formulations of TPN admixtures differing in the lipid emulsion (Lipofundin® MCT/LCT 20% or LIPIDem®). Samples were stored at 4 ± 1 °C with light protection, and at 25 ± 1 °C with and without light protection to assess the impact of temperature and light on formulation stability. Every 24 h the pH, zeta potential, mean droplet diameter (MDD) of a lipid emulsion, and AMP concentration using HPLC method were determined. The assessment of stability and compatibility of TPN admixtures with vitamins and trace elements was carried out immediately after preparation and after 24 h of storage. Results: The addition of AMP as well as vitamins and trace elements to the TPN admixtures did not affect their physical stability. An increase in the pH value of approx. 0.6 and reduction of zeta potential were observed. The MDD of the lipid emulsions was below the limit of 500 nm (dynamic light scattering (DLS) method) and no fat droplets greater than 525 nm were observed (light diffraction (LD) method). The content of AMP after the first 24 h was within the acceptable limit of 90% for TPN admixtures stored at 4 ± 1 °C and 25 ± 1 °C with light protection. Conclusions: The results showed that co-administration of AMP in the same bag with TPN admixture at the tested dose is possible when used ex tempore and with light protection.

Abstract
Life and biological units are the result of the supramolecular arrangement of many different types of molecules, all of them combined with exquisite precision to achieve specific functions. Taking inspiration from the design principles of nature allows engineering more efficient and compatible biomaterials. Indeed, bionic (from bion-, unit of life and -ic, like) materials have gained increasing attention in the last decades due to their ability to mimic some of the characteristics of nature systems, such as dynamism, selectivity, or signalling. However, there are still many challenges when it comes to their interaction with the human body, which hinder their further clinical development. Here we review some of the recent progress in the field of molecular bionics with the final aim of providing with design rules to ensure their stability in biological media as well as to engineer novel functionalities which enable navigating the human body.

Abstract
With the current advance in nanotechnology, the development has accelerated of a number of nanoparticle-type drugs such as nano-emulsions, lipid emulsions, liposomes, and cell therapeutics. With these developments, attempts are being made to apply these new drugs to healing many intractable diseases related to antibody production, autoimmune disorders, cancer, and organ transplantation in both clinical and nonclinical trials. Drug delivery to the lymphatic system is indispensable for treating these diseases, but the core technologies related to the in vivo distribution characteristics and lymphatic delivery evaluation of these particle-type drugs have not yet been established. Additionally, the core technologies for setting up the pharmacotherapeutic aspects such as their usage and dosages in the development of new drugs do not meet the needs of the market. Therefore, it is necessary to consider dividing these particle-type drugs into soft-lipid nanoparticles that can change size in the process of body distribution and hard-lipid nanoparticles whose surfaces are hardened and whose sizes do not easily change in vivo; these soft- and hard-lipid nanoparticles likely possess different biodistribution characteristics including delivery to the lymphatic system. In this review, we summarize the different types, advantages, limitations, possible remedies, and body distribution characteristics of soft- and hard-lipid nanoparticles based on their administration routes. We also emphasize that it will be necessary to fully understand the differences in distribution between these soft- and hard-lipid nanoparticle-type drugs and to establish pharmacokinetic models for their more ideal lymphatic delivery.

Abstract
Metabolic acidosis and metabolic bone disease are frequent complications in patients on parenteral nutrition (PN). A common contributor to these complications could be a daily high renal acid load. This study aims to find a method for predicting the potential total acid load (PTAL) and the pH of the compounded parenteral nutrition mixtures. The pH and titratable acidity (TA) of fifty compounded mixtures were measured. The potential metabolic acid load (PMAL) was calculated by considering the amount of nutrients that are acid producers and consumers. The PTAL of the TPN mixtures was calculated by adding TA to PMAL. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to develop a predictive model for the TA and pH of the compounded mixtures. The predicted TA and pH values of the analyzed mixtures agreed with those measured (Passing-Bablok analysis). The PTAL was >50 mmol/day for 82% of the mixtures, >75 mmol/day for 40% of the mixtures, and >100 mmol/day for 22% of the mixtures. The prediction of the renal acid load in patients on long-term PN could allow more appropriate acid-base balancing. Moreover, predicting the pH of such mixtures could be useful to pharmacists to assess the stability and compatibility of the components in the compounded mixtures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute remifentanil exposure during intraoperative analgesia might enhance sensitivity to noxious stimuli and nociceptive responses to innocuous irritation. Cyclooxygenase inhibition was demonstrated to attenuate experimental remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia (RIH) in rodents and human volunteers. The study aimed to compare the effects of preoperative and postoperative flurbiprofen axetil (FA) on RIH after surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety patients undergoing elective laparoscopic gynecologic surgery were randomly assigned to receive either intravenous placebo before anesthesia induction (Group C); or intravenous FA (1.0 mg/kg) before anesthesia induction (Group F1) or before skin closure (Group F2). Anesthesia consisted off sevoflurane and remifentanil (0.30 μg/kg/min). Postoperative pain was managed by sufentanil titration in the postanesthetic care unit, followed by sufentanil infusion via patient-controlled analgesia. Mechanical pain threshold (primary outcome), pain scores, sufentanil consumption, and side-effects were documented for 24 hours postoperatively. RESULTS Postoperative pain score in Group F1 was lower than Group C. Time of first postoperative sufentanil titration was prolonged in Group F1 than Group C (P=0.021). Cumulative sufentanil consumption in Group F1 was lower than Group C (P<0.001), with a mean difference of 8.75 (95% confidence interval, 5.21-12.29) μg. Mechanical pain threshold on the dominant inner forearm was more elevated in Group F1 than Group C (P=0.005), with a mean difference of 17.7 (95% confidence interval, 5.4-30.0) g. Normalized hyperalgesia area was decreased in Group F1 compared to Group C (P=0.007). No statistically significant difference was observed between Group F2 and Group C. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative FA reduces postoperative RIH in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery under sevoflurane-remifentanil anesthesia.

Abstract
Emulsions are important in numerous fields, including cosmetics, coatings, and biomedical applications. A subset of these structures, oil-in-oil emulsions, are especially intriguing for water sensitive reactions such as polymerizations and catalysis. Widespread use and application of oil-in-oil emulsions is currently limited by the lack of facile and simple methods for preparing suitable surfactants. Herein, we report the ready preparation of oil-in-oil emulsions using 2D nanomaterials as surfactants at the interface of polar and nonpolar organic solvents. Both the edges and basal plane of graphene oxide nanosheets were functionalized with primary alkyl amines and we demonstrated that the length of the alkyl chain dictates the continuous phase of the oil-in-oil emulsions (i.e., nonpolar-in-polar or polar-in-nonpolar). The prepared emulsions are stable at least 5 weeks and we demonstrate they can be used to compartmentalize reagents such that reaction occurs only upon physical agitation. The simplicity and scalability of these oil-in-oil emulsions render them ideal for applications impossible with traditional oil-in-water emulsions, and provide a new interfacial area to explore and exploit.

Abstract
When using lipid nanoparticles as drug carrier system it is important to know how much drug can be loaded to the nanoparticles. The mainly used drug loading procedure is an empirical approach dissolving the drug in the liquid lipid during preparation of the nanoparticles. This approach does not necessarily lead to the truly loadable amount, as the lipid can, e.g. be overloaded, in particular when it is processed in the heat. In this work, a different procedure, passive drug loading, was evaluated to determine the drug loading capacity of various lipid nanoparticles (supercooled trimyristin emulsion droplets, solid trimyristin nanoparticles, tristearin nanoparticles in the α-modification and cholesteryl myristate nanoparticles in the supercooled smectic as well as in the crystalline state). The nanoparticle dispersions were exposed to eight different model drug compounds (betamethasone-17-valerate, carbamazepine, diazepam, flufenamic acid, griseofulvin, ibuprofen, retinyl palmitate, ubidecarenone) in the bulk state, which varied in partition coefficient and aqueous solubility, and equilibrated over time. The passive loading procedure had no relevant impact on the particle sizes or the physicochemical state of the nanoparticles. The loadable drug amount differed distinctly for the different model compounds and also between the different types of lipid nanoparticles. For most compounds, the loaded amount was much higher than the aqueous solubility. Trimyristin-based dispersions generally had the highest loading capacity, the emulsion usually being equal or superior to the solid trimyristin nanoparticles. For betamethasone-17-valerate, however, solid lipid nanoparticles exhibited by far the highest drug load. The extremely lipophilic model drugs retinyl palmitate and ubidecarenone could not be loaded with the passive approach.

Abstract
We explore mechanisms of emulsion stability for several systems using Pluronic F68 and a range of oils commonly used in pharmaceutics and cosmetics. We report measurements of dynamic emulsion drop size, zeta potential, and creaming time, as well as dynamic interfacial tension and interfacial viscoelasticity. Experiments show that with 1wt% Pluronic F68, soybean oil emulsions were the most stable with no creaming over six months, followed by isopropyl myristate, octanoic acid, and then ethyl butyrate. The eventual destabilization occurred due to the rising of large drops which formed through Ostwald ripening and coalescence. While Ostwald ripening is important, it is not the dominant destabilization mechanism for the time scale of interest in pharmaceutical emulsions. The more significant destabilization mechanism, coalescence, is reduced through surfactant adsorption, which decreases surface tension, increases surface elasticity, and adds a stearic hindrance to collisions. Though the measured values of elasticity obtained using a standard oscillatory pendant drop method did not correlate to emulsion stability, this is because the frequencies for the measurements were orders of magnitude below those relevant to coalescence in emulsions. However, we show that the high frequency elasticity obtained by fitting the surface tension data to a Langmuir isotherm has very good correlation with the emulsion stability, indicating that the elasticity of the interface plays a key role in stabilizing these pharmaceutical formulations. Further, this study highlights how these important high frequency elasticity values can be easily estimated from surface isotherms.

Abstract
Consumer concern about human and environmental health is encouraging food manufacturers to use more natural and sustainable food ingredients. In particular, there is interest in replacing synthetic ingredients with natural ones, and in replacing animal-based ingredients with plant-based ones. This article provides a review of the various types of natural emulsifiers with potential application in the food industry, including phospholipids, biosurfactants, proteins, polysaccharides, and natural colloidal particles. Increased utilization of natural emulsifiers in food products may lead to a healthier and more sustainable food supply. However, more research is needed to identify, isolate, and characterize new sources of commercially viable natural emulsifiers suitable for food use.

Abstract
Efficient drug delivery at vaginal cavity is often a challenge owing to its peculiar physiological variations including vast differences in pH. Keeping in view this attribute of the target site, the current work was aimed at developing formulation strategies which could overcome this and successfully deliver molecules like itraconazole through SLNs. Optimized SLNs with the given composition was selected for further development into mucoadhesive and thermosensitive gel. Stearic acid and Compritol 888 (1:1, w/w ratio) as lipid, a mixture of 3% Poloxomer 188 and 0.5% sodium taurocholate as surfactant and organic to aqueous ratio of 10:50 was taken. Carbopol 934 and Pluronic F 127 were taken for the development of gel. Optimized gel exhibited a desired gelling temperature (35 °C); viscosity (0.920 PaS) and appreciable in vitro drug release (62.2% in 20 h). MTT assay did not show any cytotoxic effect of the gel. When evaluated in vivo, it did not exhibit any irritation potential despite appreciable bioadhesion. A remarkable decrease in CFUs was also observed in comparison with control and marketed formulation when evaluated in rat infection model. Thus, the proposed study defines the challenges for developing a suitable formulation system overcoming the delivery barriers of the vaginal site.

Abstract
During the last few decades the nanomedicine sector has emerged as a feasible and effective solution to the problems faced by the high percentage of poorly water-soluble drugs. Decreasing the size of such drug compounds to the nanoscale can significantly change their physical properties, which lays the foundation for the use of nanomedicine for pharmaceutical applications. Various techniques have been developed to produce poorly water-soluble drug nanoparticles, mainly to address the poor water-soluble issues but also for the efficient and targeted delivery of such drugs. These techniques can be generally categorized into top-down, bottom-up and encapsulation approaches. Among them, the top-down approaches have been the main choice for industrial preparation of drug nanoparticles while other methods are actively investigated by researchers. In this review, we aim to give a comprehensive overview and latest progress of the top-down, bottom-up, and encapsulation methods for the preparation of poorly water-soluble drug nanoparticles and how solvents and additives can be selected for these methods. In addition to the more industrially applied top-down approaches, the review is focused more on bottom-up and encapsulation methods, particularly covering supercritical fluid-related methods, cryogenic techniques, and encapsulation with dendrimers and responsive block copolymers. Some of the approved and mostly used nanodrug formulations on the market are also covered to demonstrate the applications of poorly water-soluble drug nanoparticles. This review is complete with perspectives on the development and challenges of fabrication techniques for more effective nanomedicine.

Optimizing the therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin PEGylated liposomes via incorporation of different DPPG ratios: In vitro and in vivo studies. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2015; 136:885-91. [PMID: 26547316 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2015.10.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2015] [Revised: 10/23/2015] [Accepted: 10/27/2015] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
The anionic lipid DPPG is known to enhance the cellular uptake of liposomes by forming phase boundaries of high fusogenic potentials in vesicular membranes. The focus of this study is to optimize DPPG concentrations to improve the therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin-loaded liposomes. First, cisplatin liposomes composed of HSPC, mPEG2000-DSPE and cholesterol with increasing amounts of DPPG (10, 20 and 30% mol) were prepared by ethanol injection. Liposomes were then characterized by their size, zeta potential and cytotoxicity against C26 colon carcinoma cells. In an experimental system, based upon C26 tumor bearing BALB/c, mice were treated with administering i.v. doses of different formulations, once weekly for total of three weeks. Although with the highest DPPG ratio (30% mol) liposomes exhibited the highest toxicity in vitro, at 10% DPPG better stability of the encapsulated drug was obtained in the presence of serum. In addition, survival of animals was substantially improved at 10% DPPG compared to the higher DPPG contents. It is thus presumable that the high density of negatively charged residues of DPPG gave rise to repulsive forces between phospholipids in concentric lipid bilayers, which resulted in the instability of lipid structure and the subsequent premature drug leakage. Results indicated that cisplatin liposome fabricated with the inclusion of 10% DPPG, maintains the stability while in circulation, and improves therapeutic efficacy due to fusogenic properties; therefore might serve as an effective and stable formulation of cisplatin. However, further investigations are required to confirm the potential anti-tumor effects of cisplatin anionic nanoliposomes in various tumor types.

Abstract
Niclosamide (NL) has demonstrated its great potential in fighting against leukaemia recently. However, either oral or systemic delivery of NL is challenged by its insoluble nature. Here, we developed two different NL-loaded submicron lipid emulsions (NL-SLEs) and compared their suitability in bioavailability enhancement. Conventional and PEGylated NL-SLEs (NL-CSLEs and NL-PSLEs) were prepared by melt dispersion/high pressure homogenisation technique. They were about 307.8 and 162.2 nm in particle size, respectively, and both of them possessed satisfactory stability and drug load (>9.0%). After oral administration, significantly enhanced bioavailability was achieved through NL-CSLEs and NL-PSLEs (441.11 and 463.55% relative to the reference). Apart from global size, NL-CSLEs and NL-PSLEs exhibited similar attributes in release, lipolysis, mucin binding, etc. Taken together, SLEs with or without PEG-lipid have shown to be promising for oral delivery of NL. PEG-lipid could significantly reduce the particle size of SLEs. But, macromolecular PEG-lipid was required to effectively stealth the lipid carriers.
