Abstract
Antihistamines are capable of blocking mediator responses in allergic reactions including allergic rhinitis and dermatological reactions. By incorporating various H1 receptor antagonists into a lipid cubic phase network, these active ingredients can be delivered locally over an extended period of time owing to the mucoadhesive nature of the system. Local delivery can avoid inducing unwanted side effects, often observed after systematic delivery. Lipid-based antihistamine delivery systems are shown here to exhibit prolonged release capabilities. In vitro drug dissolution studies investigated the extent and release rate of two model first-generation and two model second-generation H1 antagonist antihistamine drugs from two monoacyglycerol-derived lipid models. To optimize the formulation approach, the systems were characterized macroscopically and microscopically by small-angle X-ray scattering and polarized light to ascertain the mesophase accessed upon an incorporation of antihistamines of varying solubilities and size. The impact of encapsulating the antihistamine molecules on the degree of mucoadhesivity of the lipid cubic systems was investigated using multiparametric surface plasmon resonance. With the ultimate goal of developing therapies for the treatment of allergic reactions, the ability of the formulations to inhibit mediator release utilizing RBL-2H3 mast cells with the propensity to release histamine upon induction was explored, demonstrating no interference from the lipid excipient on the effectiveness of the antihistamine molecules.

Abstract
Commercially available ocular drug delivery systems are effective but less efficacious to manage diseases/disorders of the anterior segment of the eye. Recent advances in nanotechnology and molecular biology offer a great opportunity for efficacious ocular drug delivery for the treatments of anterior segment diseases/disorders. Nanoparticles have been designed for preparing eye drops or injectable solutions to surmount ocular obstacles faced after administration. Better drug pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, non-specific toxicity, immunogenicity, and biorecognition can be achieved to improve drug efficacy when drugs are loaded in the nanoparticles. Despite the fact that a number of review articles have been published at various points in the past regarding nanoparticles for drug delivery, there is not a review yet focusing on the development of nanoparticles for ocular drug delivery to the anterior segment of the eye. This review fills in the gap and summarizes the development of nanoparticles as drug carriers for improving the penetration and bioavailability of drugs to the anterior segment of the eye.

Abstract
Inflammation of the eye is a usual clinical condition that can implicate any part of the eye. The nomenclature of variety of such inflammations is based on the ocular part involved. These diseases may jeopardize normal functioning of the eye on progression. In general, corticosteroids, antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to treat inflammatory diseases/disorders of the eye. There have been several attempts via different approaches of drug delivery to overcome the low ocular bioavailability resulting from shorter ocular residence time. The features like safety, ease of elimination and ability to sustain drug release have led to application of biopolymers in ocular therapeutics. Numerous polymers of natural origin such as gelatin, collagen, chitosan, albumin, hyaluronic acid, alginates etc. have been successfully employed for preparation of different ocular dosage forms. Chitosan is the most explored biopolymer amongst natural biopolymers because of its inherent characteristics. The emergence of synthetic biopolymers (like PVP, PACA, PCL, POE, polyanhydrides, PLA, PGA and PLGA) has also added new dimensions to the drug delivery strategies meant for treatment of ophthalmic inflammations. The current review is an endeavor to describe the utility of a variety of biomaterials/polymers based drug delivery systems as carrier for anti-inflammatory drugs in ophthalmic therapeutics.

Abstract
The interaction between oxazepam and C₆₀ fullerene was explored using first-principles vdW-DF calculations. It was found that oxazepam binds weakly to the fullerene cage via its carbonyl group. The binding of oxazepam to C₆₀ is affected drastically by nonlocal dispersion interactions, while vdW forces affect the corresponding geometries only a little. Furthermore, aqueous solution affects the geometries of the oxazepam approaching to fullerene slightly, while oxazepam binds slightly farther away from the nanocage. The results presented provide evidence for the applicability of the vdW-DF method and serve as a practical benchmark for the investigation of host-guest interactions in biological systems.

Abstract
Poly(lactic/glycolic) acid nanoparticles incorporating flurbiprofen (FB) were prepared by the solvent displacement technique using poloxamer 188 as a stabilizer to improve the availability of the drug for the prevention of the inflammation caused by ocular surgery. A 2(3) + star design was applied to investigate the influence of several factors such as the pH of the aqueous phase, the initial concentration of the stabilizer, and the drug used to prepare the nanoparticles (NPs) on the physicochemical properties (particle size analysis, zeta potential, and drug loading efficiency) of the colloidal system. The best formulations were those prepared at pH 3.5 with a concentration of 1.5 mg/mL of FB and 10 or 20 mg/mL of poloxamer 188. These formulations showed an appropriate average size for ophthalmic administration (232.8 and 277.6 nm, respectively) and a good yield of entrapment efficiency (94.60% and 93.55%, respectively). The release behavior of FB from the developed NPs was complete and exhibited a biphasic pattern. Formulations did not show toxicity on ocular tissues. In vivo anti-inflammatory efficacy was assessed in the rabbit eye after topical instillation of sodium arachidonate (SA). A higher decrease of the SA-induced inflammation was obtained for the NP formulations.

Abstract
Many injectable biomaterials have been produced as bulking agents for compression of urethral sphincter or ureteral orifice for treating adult stress incontinence or vesico-ureteral reflux in pediatrics. The agents being developed include glutaraldehyde crosslinked collagen, dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer, pyrolytic carbon-coated zirconium oxide beads, polydimethyl-siloxane microparticles, polytetrafluoroethylene paste, autologous fats, autologous chondrocytes, and others. Though less invasive nature of these agents has gained their popularity as a quick solution of the disease symptoms, most of such treatments fail to produce good long-term efficacy. The failure is likely caused by the rapid degradation of material implants and the lack of tissue regeneration/integration properties. We thus believe that a good injectable biomaterial for incontinence should possess the following two properties: (1) to resist degradation and to reside in the implantation sites for a long period of time or (2) to enhance tissue regeneration and to establish permanent periurethral or subureteric tissue. Here we report some recent results for supporting this hypothesis.

Abstract
The concept of polymeric nanoparticles for the design of new drug delivery systems emerged a few years ago, and recent rapid advances in nanotechnology have offered a wealth of new opportunities for diagnosis and therapy of various diseases. Recent progress has made possible the engineering of nanoparticles to allow the site-specific delivery of drugs and to improve the pharmacokinetic profile of numerous compounds with biomedical applications such as peptide and protein drugs. Biologically active peptides and their analogues are becoming an increasingly important class of drugs. Their use for human and animal treatment is problematic, however, because some of these drugs are generally ineffective when taken orally and thus have been administered chiefly by the parenteral route. This review covers some of the historical and recent advances of nanotechnology and concludes that polymeric nanoparticles show great promise as a tool for the development of peptide drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Despite extensive research in the field, the major problem in the ocular drug delivery domain still is rapid precorneal drug loss and poor corneal permeability. One of the approaches recently developed is the drug incorporation into cationic submicronic vectors which exploit the negative charges present at the corneal surface for increased residence time and penetration. This review will focus on the formulation of three main representative cationic colloids developed for ophthalmic delivery: liposomes, emulsions and nanoparticles (NP). Parameters such as choice of the vector type and size, nature of the cationic molecule, pH and ionic strength of the external phase and characteristics of the encapsulated drug will be discussed with accent on the relevance of the positive charge.

Abstract
The objective of this investigation was to test the biodegradability of gellan gum in the presence of galactomannanase in order to explore its suitability for the development of colon-specific controlled delivery systems. Gellan beads containing azathioprine (AZA) were prepared by ionotropic gelation in the presence of Ca2+ ions and were coated with an enteric polymer, Eudragit S-100. The effects of the simulated colonic fluid (SCF, pH 7.4 phosphate buffer) containing 15 mg/mL of galactomannanase on the in vitro release profiles of uncoated and enteric-coated beads were investigated, and the morphological changes in the structure of uncoated beads were assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, 1% solution of deacetylated gellan gum was prepared and several aliquots of the resulting solution were evaluated rheologically to determine the concentration- and time-dependent effects of galactomannanase. Based on the percent drug released at 2 h, approximately 10% greater amount of drug was released in the SCF containing galactomannanase when compared with the enzyme-free dissolution medium. Results of rheological studies demonstrated that effects of galactomannanase on the viscosity of gellan gum solution are concentration-dependent rather than time-dependent. A significant decrease in the viscosity was noted in the presence of galactomannanase at a concentration of 15 mg/ mL, indicating that the polysaccharide degraded in an enzymatic reaction. SEM micrographs showed a distinct disruption of the polymeric network in the SCF. Overall, the results suggest that gellan gum undergoes significant degradation in the presence of galactomannanase which in turn facilitates the drug release from beads in the SCF in a controlled manner, thus approving the suitability of gellan gum as a carrier for controlled colonic delivery.

Abstract
To control ocular drug delivery, the O-butyryl ester prodrug of tilisolol (BUTL) and the O-palmitoyl ester prodrug of tilisolol (PalTL) were incorporated into an ophthalmic insert. The released TL from BUTL inserts and PalTL inserts in pH 7.4 phosphate-buffered saline until 5 h were approximately 25% and 3% of that from TL inserts, respectively. In addition, BUTL was also released from BUTL inserts. However, PalTL was not released from the PalTL insert. The release of drugs from TL inserts and BUTL inserts was little affected by the addition of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in pH 7.4 phosphate-buffered saline. In contrast, the release of drugs from PalTL inserts were enhanced by the addition of BSA. After application of TL, BUTL, and PalTL inserts to the rabbit eye, the aqueous humor concentration of TL was prolonged compared with TL instillation, and the plasma concentration of TL was much lower than that of TL instillation. The ratios of the area under the TL concentration-time curve (AUC) in the aqueous humor to AUC in the plasma (AUC(aqueous)/AUC(plasma)) after application of BUTL until 8 h were 3.1-fold and 3.8-fold higher than those of the TL insert and PalTL insert, respectively.

Abstract
The objectives of our study were to prepare a biodegradable polyisobutylcyanoacrylate (PIBCA) colloidal particulate system of pilocarpine, to incorporate it into a Pluronic F127(PF127)-based gel delivery system, and to evaluate its ability to prolong the release of pilocarpine. Polyisobutylcyanoacrylate nanocapsules (PIBCA-NC) of pilocarpine were prepared by interfacial polymerization. Physicochemical characterization of the colloidal dispersion of PIBCA-NC of pilocarpine was performed by measuring drug loading, particle size analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. Results indicated that approximately 13.5% of pilocarpine was loaded onto the PIBCA-NC, the nanocapsules ranged from 370 to 460 nm, the distribution was narrow, and there was no significant effect of stirring speed on particle size. The PIBCA-NC dispersion of 1% pilocarpine alone (I) and after incorporation into the Pluronic F127 gel delivery system (II) were compared against 1% pilocarpine incorporated into a PF127 gel containing 5% methylcellulose (PF127MC) alone (III) by measuring the miotic response in the albino rabbit eye. Statistical analysis indicated a rank-order for both the duration and intensity of miosis of II > III >> I, with all differences being significant (p < 0.05). Thus, it appears that II increases the contact time of pilocarpine with the absorbing tissue in the eye, thereby improving ocular bioavailability. The PIBCA-NC of pilocarpine dispersed in the PF127MC gel delivery system has considerable potential for achieving a prolonged delivery for such drugs as pilocarpine and other more hydrophobic drugs.

Abstract
The transport of nanoparticle associated drugs, [75Se]norcholestenol, captopril, methylene blue, hydrocortisone, doxorubicin, and dalargin was determined by permeability measurements in two chamber side by side diffusion cells using cellulose acetate, silicone rubber, pig small intestine, or hairless mice skin as membranes. Solutions of free drugs served as controls. The permeabilities depended on the physico chemical properties of the drugs which governed both, drug interaction with the nanoparticles as well as with the membranes. Consequently, the influence of dilution of the nanoparticle or free drug preparations on permeabilities was complex. With the exception of [75Se]norcholestenol the permeabilities were higher with free drugs than after binding to nanoparticles. The permeabilities of the membranes decreased in the order cellulose acetate, pig small intestine, silicone rubber, and hairless mouse skin.

Nanoparticles are colloidal polymeric particles (size < 1000 nm) to which drugs are bound by sorption, incorporation, or chemical binding. After intravenous injection they normally distribute into the organs of the reticuloendothelial system (liver, spleen, lungs, bone marrow). However, their body distribution can be altered by coating with surfactants or with physiological components such as serum complement factors. The influence of these coatings on the body distribution and possible mechanisms for the alteration of this distribution are discussed. Differently coated nanoparticles can be used for the targeting of bound drugs to tumors, to the brain, and to inflamed areas in the body.

Abstract
Microparticulates are drug-containing small polymeric particles (erodible, non-erodible or ion-exchange resins) that are suspended in a liquid carrier medium. Upon administration of particle suspension in the eye, the particles reside at the delivery site (cul-de-sac, sub conjunctiva or vitreous cavity) and the drug is released from the particles through diffusion, chemical reaction, polymer degradation, or ion-exchange mechanism. Several distinct approaches have been used to formulate drugs in microparticulate dosage form for intraocular and topical application. These include erodible microparticulates, swelling mucoadhesive particulates, pH responsive microparticulates, nanoparticles/latex systems, ion-exchange resins, etc. Injection of bioerodible microparticulates in the vitreous for treating infections of posterior segment and the release of acceptable levels of drug up to two weeks has been demonstrated. Both corneal and non-corneal routes of drug entry in the eye from topical instillations are postulated. The in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that this dosage form holds great promise for sustained drug release in the eye. However, several formulation challenges, including production of stable suspensions, uniform dose per unit volume, efficient drug entrapment, reproducible and large scale manufacturing, uniform particle size, etc., have to be addressed. Fruitful resolution of technological challenges will result in a superior dosage form for both topical and intraocular ophthalmic application. Recent developments and future challenges of microparticulate ophthalmic drug delivery system are discussed in this review.
