Liquid- and Semisolid-Filled Hard Gelatin Capsules Containing Alpha-Lipoic Acid as a Suitable Dosage Form for Compounding Medicines and Dietary Supplements. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:892. [PMID: 39065589 PMCID: PMC11279521 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16070892] [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: 06/07/2024] [Revised: 06/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Liquid-filled hard gelatin capsules may have pertinent advantages both for therapeutic effect and extemporaneous preparations of medicines. Alpha lipoic acid is a substance used in medicines and dietary supplements and there is a need for creating an appropriate formulation which would be suitable for each individual patient or consumer. Based on its biopharmaceutical and physical chemical characteristics, eight different capsule formulations were designed and characterized. Silicon dioxide was added to form a semisolid content and prevent leakage. The formulation filled with alpha lipoic acid solution in polyethylene glycol 400 showed the best performance. Although the addition of silicon dioxide to the formulation with polyethylene glycol 400 led to a change in both flow character and viscosity, the release rate did not show a statistically significant decrease (more than 85% of content was released after 5 min testing). Applied technique is a simple and an appropriate approach for compounding and could be used for other substances with similar properties.

TPGS decorated NLC shift gefitinib from portal absorption into lymphatic delivery: Intracellular trafficking, biodistribution and bioavailability studies. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 223:113148. [PMID: 36706479 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2023.113148] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Revised: 12/27/2022] [Accepted: 01/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Lymphatic drug delivery (LDD) is an attractive option for the prevention and treatment of cancer metastasis. This study aims to develop TPGS decorated nanostructure lipid carrier gefitinib loaded (TPGS-NLC-GEF). Biocompatibility and cytotoxicity were studied using erythrocytes and A549 cell lines. Furthermore, cellular uptake of the prepared TPGS-NLC was studied using 5-carboxyfluorescein (5-CF). Pharmacokinetic, biodistribution, and chylomicron-block flow studies were performed using male Wister Albino rats to investigate the influence of TPGS-NLC on plasma concentration-time profile, organ deposition, and LDD of GEF. The present results indicated that the prepared TPGS-NLC and TPGS-NLC-GEF formulation had a particle size range of 268 and 288 nm with a negative zeta-potential value of - 29.3 and - 26.5 mV, respectively. The in-vitro release showed burst drug release followed by sustained release. In addition, the biosafety in the term of the hemocompatibility study showed that the prepared formulation was safe at the therapeutic level. Additionally, an in-vitro cytotoxicity study showed that the TPGS-NLC was able to enhance the activity of GEF against the A549 cell line. The cellular uptake study showed the ability of TPGS-NLC to enhance 5-CF internalization by 12.6-fold compared to the 5-CF solution. Furthermore, the in-vivo study showed that TPGS-NLC was able to enhance GEF bioavailability (1.5-fold) through lymphatic system which was confirmed via the indirect chylomicron-block flow method. The tissue distribution study showed the ability of lipid nanoparticles to enhance lung drug deposition by 5.8-fold compared to a GEF suspension. This study concluded that GEF-NLC-GEF is an encouraging approach for the treatment of metastatic lung cancer through lymphatic delivery, enhanced bioavailability, and reduced systemic toxicity.

Encapsulation of safflower oil in nanostructured lipid carriers for food application. JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2022; 59:805-814. [PMID: 35185192 PMCID: PMC8814268 DOI: 10.1007/s13197-021-05078-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Revised: 03/11/2021] [Accepted: 03/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
Safflower oil (SO) is mainly rich in linoleic acid (ω-6), oleic acid (ω-9), and other bioactives with potential antioxidant, antidiabetic, thermogenic, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective and anticancer activities. The reduced aqueous solubility and high susceptibility to oxidative degradation are undesirable for food applications and can be overcome by incorporation in lipid nanoparticles. Thus, the main goal was to develop and characterize SO-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC-SO) and to evaluate their potential for protection of the antioxidant activity of the bioactive. NLC-SO showed average size of 222 ± 2.0 nm, zeta potential of 43 ± 3.5 mV and the encapsulation efficiency was 49.0 ± 2.8%, combined with high thermal compatibility (up to 228 °C) and physical stability for up to 60 days in aqueous dispersion. Besides, the NLC-SO showed threefold reduction in the DPPH radical scavenge activity after encapsulation, indicating protection of the antioxidant components of the SO and preservation of the bioactives.

Abstract
PEG-interpenetrated dual-sensitive hydrogels that load nano lipid carrier (NLC) were researched and developed for topical drug administration. Natural antioxidant α-lipoic acid (ALA) was selected as our model drug. The α-lipoic acid (ALA) nano lipid carrier was successfully prepared by hot melt emulsification and ultrasonic dispersion method, and the physicochemical properties of the nano lipid carrier were investigated, including morphology, particle distribution, polydispersity coefficient, zeta potential and encapsulation efficiency. Carboxymethyl chitosan and poloxamer 407 contributed to pH- and temperature-sensitive properties in the hydrogel, respectively. Natural non-toxic cross-linking agent genipin reacted with carboxymethyl chitosan to form the hydrogel. Poly ethylene glycol (PEG), a polymer compound with good water solubility and biocompatibility, interpenetrated the hydrogel and influenced the mechanical strength and drug release behaviour. FI-IR test verified the successful synthesis of the hydrogel. The rheological parameters indicated that the mechanical strength of the hydrogel was positively correlated with the amount of PEG, and the in vitro dissolution profiles demonstrated that the increasement of PEG could accelerate the drug release rate. The compatibility of the drug delivery system was verified with cells and mice model. Topical delivery of ALA in solution, NLC and NLC-gel was investigated in-vitro.

Abstract
Powerful antioxidant α-lipoic acid (LA) exhibits limited therapeutic efficiency due to its pharmacokinetic properties. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to evaluate the ability of silica-based composites of LA as well as its amide (lipoamide, LM), as new oral drug formulations, to control their release and maintain their therapeutic concentration and antioxidant activity in the body over a long time. The composites synthesized at different sol–gel synthesis pH and based on silica matrixes with various surface chemistry were investigated. The release behavior of the composites in media mimicking pH of digestive fluids (pH 1.6, 6.8, and 7.4) was revealed. The effects of chemical structure of the antioxidants, synthesis pH, surface chemistry of the silica matrixes in the composites as well as the pH of release medium on kinetic parameters of the drug release and mechanisms of the process were discussed. The comparative analysis of the obtained data allowed the determination of the most promising composites. Using these composites, modeling of the release process of the antioxidants in accordance with transit conditions of the drugs in stomach, proximal, and distal parts of small intestine and colon was carried out. The composites exhibited the release close to the zero order kinetics and maintained the therapeutic concentration of the drugs and antioxidant effect in all parts of the intestine for up to 24 h. The obtained results showed that encapsulation of LA and LM in the silica matrixes is a promising way to improve their bioavailability and antioxidant activity.
