Abstract
Berberine is used in the treatment of metabolic syndrome and its low solubility and very poor oral bioavailability of berberine was one of the primary hurdles for its market approval. This study aimed to improve the solubility and bioavailability of berberine by preparing pellet formulations containing drug-excipient complex (obtained by solid dispersion). Berberine-excipient solid dispersion complexes were obtained with different ratios by the solvent evaporation method. The maximum saturation solubility test was performed as a key factor for choosing the optimal complex for the drug-excipient. The properties of these complexes were investigated by FTIR, DSC, XRD and dissolution tests. The obtained pellets were evaluated and compared in terms of pelletization efficiency, particle size, mechanical strength, sphericity and drug release profile in simulated media of gastric and intestine. Solid-state analysis showed complex formation between the drug and excipients used in solid dispersion. The optimal berberine-phospholipid complex showed a 2-fold increase and the optimal berberine-gelucire and berberine-citric acid complexes showed more than a 3-fold increase in the solubility of berberine compared to pure berberine powder. The evaluation of pellets from each of the optimal complexes showed that the rate and amount of drug released from all pellet formulations in the simulated gastric medium were significantly lower than in the intestine medium. The results of this study showed that the use of berberine-citric acid or berberine-gelucire complex could be considered a promising technique to increase the saturation solubility and improve the release characteristics of berberine from the pellet formulation.

Curcumin-PVP improves the in vitro efficacy of ivermectin against resistant and susceptible Haemonchus contortus. Exp Parasitol 2024; 256:108670. [PMID: 38092297 DOI: 10.1016/j.exppara.2023.108670] [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: 05/19/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
Ivermectin (IVM) resistance in parasitic nematodes such as Haemonchus contortus has spurred a search for substances that help to recover its efficacy. One potential agent is the natural product curcumin (CUR). In this study, CUR was combined with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (CUR/PVP) to improve its solubility and biological applicability. This study determined the effect of CUR preincubation on the effective concentration 50% (EC50) of IVM in three H. contortus isolates with different susceptibilities to IVM. The IVM EC50 was determined for three H. contortus isolates with different IVM susceptibilities using the larval migration inhibition (LMI) test. The three isolates were (i) PARAISO (IVM resistant), (ii) FMVZ-UADY (IVM susceptible), and (iii) CENID-SAI INIFAP (reference IVM susceptible). The L3 of each isolate were preincubated for 3 h with one of three concentrations of CUR (μg curcumin/mL): CONC-1 (3.67), CONC-2 (5.67), or CONC-3 (8.48). Corresponding controls were performed without CUR. The EC50 of IVM was determined for each isolate after they were exposed to the different CUR concentrations. The EC50 of IVM differed between the isolates PARAISO > FMVZ-UADY > CENID-SAI INIFAP (P < 0.05). The CUR preincubation at CONC-1 did not decrease the EC50 of IVM for any of the three isolates, suggesting a hormetic effect. By contrast, CUR preincubation at CONC-2 or CONC-3 decreased the IVM EC50 for the PARAISO isolate (P < 0.05) compared with the reference isolate and reduced the EC50 of IVM for the FMVZ-UADY and CENID-SAI INIFAP isolates below the EC50 for the CENID-SAI INIFAP isolate without CUR preincubation. In conclusion, preincubation of H. contortus L3 with CUR reduced the EC50 of IVM for field isolates classified as resistant and susceptible to IVM. The CUR preincubation reduced the IVM resistance factor in the different isolates tested.

Abstract
The world's population is continuously increasing; therefore, food availability will be one of the major concerns of our future. In addition to that, many practices and products used, such as pesticides and fertilizers have been shown harmful to the environment and human health and are assumed as being one of the main factors responsible for the loss of biodiversity. Also, climate change could agravate the problem since it causes unpredictable variation of local and regional climate conditions,which frequently favor the growth of diseases, pathogens and pest growth. The use of natural products, like essential oils, plant extracts, or substances of microbial-origin in combination with nanotechnology is one suitable way to outgrow this problem. The most often employed natural products in research studies to date include pyrethrum extract, neem oil, and various essential oils, which when enclosed shown increased resistance to environmental factors. They also demonstrated insecticidal, antibacterial, and fungicidal properties. However, in order to truly determine if these products, despite being natural, would be hazardous or not, testing in non-target organisms, which are rare, must start to become a common practice. Therefore, this review aims to present the existing literature concerning nanoformulations of biopesticides and a standard definition for nanobiopesticides, their synthesis methods and their possible ecotoxicological impacts, while discussing the regulatory aspects regarding their authorization and commercialization. As a result of this, you will find a critical analysis in this reading. The most obvious findings are that i) there are insufficient reliable ecotoxicological data for risk assessment purposes and to establish safety doses; and ii) the requirements for registration and authorization of these new products are not as straightforward as those for synthetic chemicals and take a lot of time, which is a major challenge/limitation in terms of the goals set by the Farm to Fork initiative.

Abstract
The objective of this research was to modify the crystal shape and size of poorly water-soluble drug ropivacaine, and to reveal the effects of polymeric additive and ultrasound on crystal nucleation and growth. Ropivacaine often grow as needle-like crystals extended along the a-axis and the shape was hardly controllable by altering solvent types and operating conditions for the crystallization process. We found that ropivacaine crystallized as block-like crystals when polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was used. The control over crystal morphology by the additive was related to crystallization temperature, solute concentration, additive concentration, and molecular weight. SEM and AFM analyses were performed providing insights into crystal growth pattern and cavities on the surface induced by the polymeric additive. In ultrasound-assisted crystallization, the impacts of ultrasonic time, ultrasonic power, and additive concentration were investigated. The particles precipitated at extended ultrasonic time exhibited plate-like crystals with shorter aspect ratio. Combined use of polymeric additive and ultrasound led to rice-shaped crystals, which the average particle size was further decreased. The induction time measurement and single crystal growth experiments were carried out. The results suggested that PVP worked as strong nucleation and growth inhibitor. Molecular dynamics simulation was performed to explore the action mechanism of the polymer. The interaction energies between PVP and crystal faces were calculated, and mobility of the additive with different chain length in crystal-solution system was evaluated by mean square displacement. Based on the study, a possible mechanism for the morphological evolution of ropivacaine crystals assisted by PVP and ultrasound was proposed.

Amorphous solid dispersion preparation via co-precipitation improves the dissolution, oral bioavailability and intestinal health enhancement properties of magnolol. Poult Sci 2023; 102:102676.

Abstract
Magnolol (MAG) is a multifunctional plant polyphenol with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant and antitumor properties. In poultry, it has been shown to improve growth performance, antioxidant, immune functions and intestinal health. However, its applications are limited by poor solubility and low oral bioavailability. This study aimed at improving the water solubility of MAG through solid dispersion and investigating its effects in Arbor Acre (AA) broilers. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose succinic acid (HPMCAS) was used as a carrier to prepare magnolol solid dispersions (MAG-HPMCAS SD) via antisolvent coprecipitation, which were characterized thereafter. Optimal formulation proportions for SD were screened by in vitro dissolution assays, while its effects on improving absorption were investigated via in vivo pharmacokinetic assays. In addition, we evaluated the effects of MAG-HPMCAS SD on growth performance, antioxidant status, and gut microbiota in AA broilers. The powder samples prepared via antisolvent coprecipitation did not exhibit a crystal diffraction peak of MAG in powder X-ray diffractions or melting point peak in differential scanning calorimetry, proving the successful preparation of an amorphous solid dispersion system. The in vitro dissolution assay showed that the cumulative dissolution rate of MAG-HPMCAS(LF) SD (2:8, w/w) was 100%. Pharmacokinetic analyses revealed that the peak concentration (Cmax) of MAG-HPMCAS SD was 5.07 ± 0.73 μg/mL, which was 1.76 times greater than that of MAG. In addition, AUC0-48 and t1/2 of MAG-HPMCAS SD were 40.49 ± 6.29 g·h/mL and 9.15 ± 3.23 h, respectively, which were 2.17 and 2.56 times higher than those of MAG. Supplementation of MAG-HPMCAS SD in AA broilers significantly increased ADG (7-14 d and 15-21 d) and reduced feed conversion ratio (15-21 d) (P < 0.05). Bacterial diversity in the MAG-HPMCAS SD-supplemented group was greater than in the Control and MAG-supplemented group. Supplementation of MAG-HPMCAS SD stimulated the proliferation of beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillaceae and Bifidobacteriaceae. In conclusion, the MAG-HPMCAS SD prepared by coprecipitation improved the dissolution rate, the bioavailability of MAG, growth promotion, antioxidant effects and gut health in broilers.

Abstract
Antisolvent crystallization approach using either water (in conventional crystallization process (WAS)), or supercritical CO2 (in supercritical anti-solvent crystallization (SCAS)), was employed in presence of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) to enhance the dissolution of curcumin. The impact of pressure, temperature and depressurization time on the SCAS process was studied using the Box-Behnken design to achieve the highest saturation solubility. A physical mixture of curcumin-HPMC was prepared for comparison purposes. Saturation solubility, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were conducted to characterize the solid-state characteristics of the crystallized samples. Dissolution studies helped in ascertaining the effects of the crystallization techniques on the performance of the formulation. Curcumin crystalized by different antisolvent displayed varied shapes, sizes, saturation solubility's and dissolution properties. In SCAS process, the maximum saturation solubility (2.83 µg/mL) was obtained when the pressure, temperature and depressurization time were 275 bars, 55 °C, and 22 min respectively. The SCAS samples showed the highest dissolution (70%) in 30 min compared to WAS (27%), physical mixture (18%) and unprocessed curcumin (16%). The improved dissolution rate of SCAS sample originates from the development of sponge-like particles with augmented porosity, decreased crystallinity as well as increased solubility of curcumin.

Abstract
Throughout the United States, cancer remains the second leading cause of death. Traditional treatments induce significant medical toxic effects and unpleasant adverse reactions, making them inappropriate for long-term use. Consequently, anticancer-drug resistance and relapse are frequent in certain situations. Thus, there is an urgent necessity to find effective antitumor medications that are specific and have few adverse consequences. Curcumin is a polyphenol derivative found in the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa L.), and provides chemopreventive, antitumor, chemo-, and radio-sensitizing properties. In this paper, we summarize the new nano-based formulations of polyphenolic curcumin because of the growing interest in its application against cancers and tumors. According to recent studies, the use of nanoparticles can overcome the hydrophobic nature of curcumin, as well as improving its stability and cellular bioavailability in vitro and in vivo. Several strategies for nanocurcumin production have been developed, each with its own set of advantages and unique features. Because the majority of the curcumin-based nanoformulation evidence is still in the conceptual stage, there are still numerous issues impeding the provision of nanocurcumin as a possible therapeutic option. To support the science, further work is necessary to develop curcumin as a viable anti-cancer adjuvant. In this review, we cover the various curcumin nanoformulations and nanocurcumin implications for therapeutic uses for cancer, as well as the current state of clinical studies and patents. We further address the knowledge gaps and future research orientations required to develop curcumin as a feasible treatment candidate.

Abstract
The impact of a soluble complex (SC) of curcumin (CuR) synthesized using hot melt (HM) and hot-melt extrusion (HE) technologies on adenocarcinoma cells for the treatment of colorectal cancer by enhancing CuR solubility is investigated in this work. In silico molecular modelling, solubility, drug release, and physicochemical analysis were all part of the phase solubility (PS) study, which featured a novel dyeing test and a central composite design to optimize the best complex (CDD). The optimal HE-SC (1 : 5) enhances solubility (0.8521 ± 0.016 mg·mL-1) and dissolution (91.87 ± 0.208% at 30 min), and it has an ideal stability constant (309 and 377 M-1) at 25 and 37°C and an AL type of isotherm, implying 1 : 1 stoichiometry according to the findings. An intermolecular hydrogen bond that has not undergone any chemical change and has resulted in the complete conversion of the amorphous form aids in the creation of SC. In vitro cytotoxicity was measured at IC50 on the SW480 (72 M·mL-1) and Caco-2 (40 M·mL-1) cells. According to apoptotic studies, apoptosis was responsible for the vast majority of cell death, with necrosis accounting for a small proportion of the total. In vivo toxicity was established using a zebrafish model, and a western blot examination revealed apoptosis at the molecular level. It was argued that the novel formulations developed using HE technology are more significant and effective than existing pure CuR formulations.

Abstract
Polycrystalline aggregates formed in the glomerulus or other components of the urinary system represent the most critical step in kidney stone formation. The most common form of these crystals is calcium oxalate monohydrate (CaC2O4·H2O). Rutin is a potent antioxidant phytochemical, however, hydrophobicity and limited bioavailability restrain it from clinical applications. We developed a biocompatible amphiphilic triblock copolymer, PLGA-PEG-PLGA-loaded rutin nanorods, by simple and efficient self-assembly. Incorporation of polymer changed the topology of crystalline rutin into nanorods with non-Fickian sustained drug release kinetics by the Korsmeyer-Peppas model and thermodynamically non-spontaneous release of rutin. Rutin nanorods changed the growth and morphology of CaC2O4 crystals from the monohydrate to dihydrate form by increased adsorption and specific surface area from 0.8027 to 5.4233 m2 g-1, respectively. Rutin nanorods restored cell viability and oxidative stress in MDCK cells by modulating OPN expression and counteracts the proinflammatory signaling in THP-1 macrophages triggered by CaC2O4 crystals (80 μg cm-2). Rutin nanorods resulted in significant protection in serum and urinary biochemistry with reduced calcifications and increased tissue viability of kidneys without any toxicity and achieved high bioavailability. Our data provide a facile strategy for the use of rutin nanorods as a targeted drug system to treat and prevent renal stone formations.

Abstract
The objective of the current research is to develop ZnO-Manjistha extract (ZnO-MJE) nanoparticles (NPs) and to investigate their transdermal delivery as well as antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. The optimized formulation was further evaluated based on different parameters. The ZnO-MJE-NPs were prepared by mixing 10 mM ZnSO4·7H2O and 0.8% w/v NaOH in distilled water. To the above, a solution of 10 mL MJE (10 mg) in 50 mL of zinc sulfate was added. Box-Behnken design (Design-Expert software 12.0.1.0) was used for the optimization of ZnO-MJE-NP formulations. The ZnO-MJE-NPs were evaluated for their physicochemical characterization, in vitro release activity, ex vivo permeation across rat skin, antimicrobial activity using sterilized agar media, and antioxidant activity by the DPPH free radical method. The optimized ZnO-MJE-NP formulation (F13) showed a particle size of 257.1 ± 0.76 nm, PDI value of 0.289 ± 0.003, and entrapment efficiency of 79 ± 0.33%. Drug release kinetic models showed that the formulation followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas model with a drug release of 34.50 ± 2.56 at pH 7.4 in 24 h. In ex vivo studies ZnO-MJE-NPs-opt permeation was 63.26%. The antibacterial activity was found to be enhanced in ZnO-MJE-NPs-opt and antioxidant activity was found to be highest (93.14 ± 4.05%) at 100 µg/mL concentrations. The ZnO-MJE-NPs-opt formulation showed prolonged release of the MJE and intensified permeation. Moreover, the formulation was found to show significantly (p < 0.05) better antimicrobial and antioxidant activity as compared to conventional suspension formulations.

Chitosan/Alginate Nanoparticles for the Enhanced Oral Antithrombotic Activity of Clam Heparinoid from the Clam Coelomactra antiquata. Mar Drugs 2022; 20:md20020136. [PMID: 35200665 PMCID: PMC8879524 DOI: 10.3390/md20020136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Chitosan/alginate nanoparticles (DG1-NPs and DG1/Cur-NPs) aiming to enhance the oral antithrombotic activity of clam heparinoid DG1 were prepared by ionotropic pre-gelation. The influence of parameters, such as the concentration of sodium alginate (SA), chitosan (CTS), CaCl2, clam heparinoid DG1, and curcumin (Cur), on the characteristics of the nanoparticles, were investigated. Results indicate that chitosan and alginate can be used as polymer matrices to encapsulate DG1, and nanoparticle characteristics depend on the preparation parameters. Nano-particles should be prepared using 0.6 mg/mL SA, 0.33 mg/mL CaCl2, 0.6 mg/mL CTS, 7.2 mg/mL DG1, and 0.24 mg/mL Cur under vigorous stirring to produce DG1-NPS and DG1/Cur-NPS with small size, high encapsulation efficiency, high loading capacity, and negative zeta potential from approximately −20 to 30 mV. Data from scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry, and differential scanning calorimetry analyses showed no chemical reaction between DG1, Cur, and the polymers; only physical mixing. Moreover, the drug was loaded in the amorphous phase within the nanoparticle matrix. In the acute pulmonary embolism murine model, DG1-NPs enhanced the oral antithrombotic activity of DG1, but DG1/Cur-NPs did not exhibit higher antithrombotic activity than DG1-NPs. Therefore, the chitosan/alginate nanoparticles enhanced the oral antithrombotic activity of DG1, but curcumin did not further enhance this effect.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Nanocrystals of any drug are pure solid drug particles with a mean diameter in nanometer range. Dissolution is a crucial factor for absorption of medicine in case of water-insoluble or poorly soluble drugs. The aim of this study was to develop nanocrystals of a hydrophobic drug, Lercanidipine, by addition of solvent to an antisolvent with high-speed homogenization to achieve dissolution and solubility enhancement. Addition of organic solvent to antisolvent results in genesis of nanosized particles due to fast nucleation process and rapid mixing. The nanosuspension was formulated using PVP K30 as a stabilizer. Further, nanosuspensions were lyophilized to convert into solid nanocrystals using mannitol as a cryoprotectant. The developed nanosuspensions were characterized for particle size, zeta potential, saturation solubility, and in vitro dissolution studies. Lyophilized solid nanocrystals were characterized for FTIR, SEM, XRD, and zeta potential (ζ).
Results
Central composite design was executed to study influence of amount of stabilizer and solvent to antisolvent ratio (independent variables) on particle size and % drug release at 10 min (dependent variables). The particle size of the developed Lercanidipine nanosuspensions were observed in the range of 302.00 ± 10.58 to 484.33 ± 6.51 nm measured by Zetatrac. A considerable increase was found in the solubility and dissolution rate of the nanocrystals as compared to pure drug. The drug release from Lercanidipine nanosuspensions was increased up to 88.95% within 10 min as compared to pure Lercanidipine which was only 21.53%. The X-ray diffraction study of lyophilized nanocrystals showed sharp and distinct peaks due to an increse in crystallinity of Lercanidipine Particle morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy revealed that nanoprecipitated particles with lyophilization in the presence of mannitol exhibited dendrite needle-like crystals.
Conclusion
The nanocrystal development by antisolvent precipitation procedure using methanol as solvent, water as antisolvent, and low amounts of PVP K30 as stabilizer is a very promising and effective method to increase the dissolution rate of Lercanidipine.

Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the effects of curcumin (CMN) soluble complex (SC) prepared by melt casting (HM) and hot-melt extrusion (HME) technology. Phase solubility (PS) study, in silico molecular modeling, aqueous solubility, drug release, and physicochemical investigation including a novel dyeing test was performed to obtain an optimized complex by a central composite design (CCD). The results show that the HME-SC produces better improvements towards solubility (0.852 ± 0.02), dissolution (91.87 ± 0.21% at 30 min), with an ideal stability constant (309 and 377 M−1 at 25 and 37 °C, respectively) and exhibits AL type of isotherm indicating 1:1 stoichiometry. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding involves the formation of SC, which does not undergo any chemical modification, followed by the complete conversion of the amorphous form which was identified by XRD. The in vitro cytotoxicity showed that IC50 was achieved in the SW480 (72 µM.mL−1) and Caco-2 (40 µM.mL−1) cells while that of pure CMN ranged from 146 to 116 µM/mL−1. Apoptosis studies showed that cell death is primarily due to apoptosis, with a low rate of necrosis. In vivo toxicity, confirmed by the zebrafish model, exhibited the safety of the HME-SC. In conclusion, the HME-SC potentially enhances the solubility and cytotoxicity to the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC).

Abstract
BACKGROUND T-type calcium channels are aberrantly expressed in different human cancers and regulate cell cycle progression, proliferation, migration, and survival. FAK-1 can promote tumor protein degradation (p53) through ubiquitination, leading to cancer cell growth and proliferation. Similar findings are obtained regarding protease inhibitors' effect on cytokine-induced neutrophil activation that suppresses Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating-factor (GM-CSF) TNF-α-induced O2 release and adherence in human neutrophils without affecting phosphorylation of Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38. Nanosuspensions are carrier-free, submicron colloidal dispersions which consist of pure drugs and stabilizers. Incorporating drug loaded in nanosuspensions possessed great advantages of passive drug targeting with improved solubility, stability, and bioavailability, as well as lower systemic toxicity. OBJECTIVE The present investigation objective was to establish a molecular association of Protease and Focal Adhesion Kinase 1 as cancer targets for isradipine a calcium channel blocker (CCB). Furthermore, the study also aimed to formulate its optimized nanosuspension and how the physical, morphological, and dissolution properties of isradipine impact nanosuspension stability. MATERIAL AND METHOD Five different molecular targets, namely Cysteine Proteases (Cathepsin B), Serine Proteases (Matriptase), Aspartate Proteases, Matrix Metalloproteases (MMP), and FAK-1 were obtained from RCSB-PDB, which has some leading associations with the inhibition in cancer pathogenesis. Molecular interactions of these targets with CCB isradipine were identified and established by the molecular simulation docking studies. Isradipine-loaded nanosuspension was prepared by precipitation technique by employing a 23 factorial design. PVP K-30, poloxamer 188, and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) were used as polymer, co-polymer, and surfactant. The nanosuspension particles are characterized for particle size, zeta potential, viscosity, polydispersity index (PDI), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), In-vitro drug release kinetics, and short-term stability study. RESULT It was found to show considerable interaction with Cysteine, Serine, Aspartate, Threonine, and Matrix metalloproteases with the binding energy of -3.91, -6.7, -3.48, -8.42, respectively. Furthermore, the interaction of isradipine with FAK-1 was compared with 7 native ligands and was found to show significant interaction with a binding energy of -8.62, -7.27, -7.69, -5.67, -5.41, -7.44, -8.21. The optimized nanosuspension was evaluated and exhibited the particle size of 754.9 nm, zeta potential of 32.5 mV, the viscosity of 1.287 cp, and PDI of 1.000. The in-vitro dissolution of the optimized formulation (F8) was higher (96.57%). CONCLUSION Isradipine could act as a potential inhibitor of different proteases and FAK-1 associated with tumor growth initiation, progression, and metastasis. Furthermore, isradipine-loaded nanosuspension with optimized release could be utilized to deliver the anticancer drug in a more targeted way as emerging cancer nanotechnology.

Abstract
The oral bioavailability of curcumin is limited, attributed to its low solubility or dissolution and poor absorption. Herein, the study describes formulation of curcumin-loaded mixed micelles of Gelucire® 48/16 and TPGS for its dissolution rate enhancement. Curcumin was dispersed in these molten lipidic surfactants which was then adsorbed on carrier and formulated as pellets by extrusion spheronization. Critical micelle concentration (CMC) of binary mixture of Gelucire® 48/16 and TPGS was lower than their individual CMC demonstrating the synergistic behavior of mixture. Thermodynamic parameters like partition coefficient and Gibbs free energy of solubilization indicated that mixed micelles were more efficient than micelles of its individual components in curcumin solubilization. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) suggested slight increase in micellar size of mixed micelles than its components suggesting curcumin loading in mixed micelles. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed that phenolic hydroxyl group interacts with lipids which contribute to its enhanced solubility. Furthermore, the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) study indicated the conversion of crystalline curcumin into amorphous form. In the pellet formulation, Gelucire® 48/16 acted as a binder and eliminated the requirement of additional binder. Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) forms wet mass and retards the release of curcumin from pellets. Increase in concentration of water-soluble diluent increased drug release. The optimized formulation released more than 90% drug and maintains supersaturation level of curcumin for 2 h. Thus, mixed micellar system was effective delivery system for curcumin while pellet formulation is an interesting formulation strategy consisting semi-solid lipids.

Abstract
Background: Therapeutic activities of curcumin (CUR) via oral administration are hampered by the lack of bioavailability due to its poor water solubility and rapid degradation in GI tract. Materials & methods: This preliminary study developed CUR micelle-eudragit S100 (EUD) dry powder (CM-EDP) spray-dried formulations. Poloxamer 407 was used as a micelle-forming agent and EUD as an entrapping matrix for protection over hydrolysis and enzymes in the GI tract. Results: The morphology of CM-EDP showed agglomeration with cratering on the surface of particles. Differential thermal analysis and x-ray diffractometry data exhibited evidence that CUR was converted into amorphous solid. An increased concentration of micelle-forming and dispersion matrix polymers resulted in a high fraction of drug being converted into the amorphous state. A significant increase in dissolution by 7–10 times was achieved compared with that of raw CUR. Conclusion: The present study disclosed the CM-EDP potency for future development of CUR oral formulation. Curcumin (CUR) is a natural compound that shows several pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory and potential actions against Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. However, several drawbacks need to be addressed its application as a therapeutic agent via oral administration. These drawbacks include its poor water solubility and rapid degradation in the GI tract. The present study developed CUR micelle-eudragit S100 (EUD) dry powder formulation involving poloxamer 407 as solubilizing agent and EUD as entrapping matrix for protection in acidic environments and the enzymes in the GI tract. The final product is in the form of dry powder, which showed potency in enhancing CUR absorption following oral administration.

Abstract
The main objective of this study was to develop a soluble product of the practically insoluble curcumin (CMN) to treat colorectal cancer more effectively than with pure CMN. To improve the solubility of CMN, various hydrophilic carriers of skimmed milk powder (SMP), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and mannitol (MNT) were utilized to prepare solid dispersion (SD) binary complexes. The prepared complexes were characterized in terms of their aqueous solubility and in vitro drug release and analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry, powder X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and the novel dyeing test. Based on this characterization, the best SD complex was optimized using the Box-Behnken design (RSM-BBD). These results showed that the solubility of CMN was greatly improved in combination with SMP. The SD of CMN with SMP produced significantly improved solubility (0.646 ± 0.024 mg/ml) and dissolution (54.94 ± 3.21% at 5 min). Further, solid-state characterization revealed that the complex exhibited intermolecular inclusion of the drug and carrier. Also, the complex did not undergo any chemical modification owing to its amorphous form, and the novel dye test showed better coloring impact, indicating the solubility of CMN. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the complex showed that 50% inhibition (IC50) of SW480 and Caco-2 cells was achieved at a considerably lower concentration than that of pure CMN. Flow cytometry analysis confirmed that the cell cycle arrest was at G2/M phase (43.26% and 65.14%), and DNA fragmentation analysis investigation confirmed that the complex induced more DNA damage during apoptosis.

DRUG DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND THERAPY 2020; 14:4639-4658. [PMID: 33173275 PMCID: PMC7648666 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s273322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2020] [Accepted: 10/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly occurring cancer in men and the second most commonly occurring cancer in women. Curcumin (CMN) is obtained from a natural source and has no toxicity, even at high doses (8,000 mg/kg body weight in 24 hours) and was determined to have anticancer potency on several kinds of carcinoma. However, its medical applications were limited because of its low solubility and poor bioavailability. Materials and Methods To improve the medical applications of CMN, various hydrophilic carriers such as poloxamer 407 (PMX-407), poloxamer 188 (PMX-188), Gelucire 50/13 (Gel-50/13), and mannitol (MNL) were used to prepare a binary complex solid dispersion (SD). These binary SDs were characterized for aqueous solubility in various solvents. Physical stability, thermal behaviors, and morphology were determined by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometric analysis, powder X-ray diffraction analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering study, and the novel dyeing test. In vitro drug release was determined by dissolution study. Based on the characterization, the better SD complex was optimized using Box-Behnken design (BBD). The cytotoxicity and apoptosis study of prepared CMN (C-SD) were used to test for colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines. Results These results showed that the solubility of CMN is greatly improved after complexation with PXM-407 in SD. CMN is practically insoluble in water at acidic and neutral pH; however, the SD of CMN with PXM-407 produced significant improvement in solubility (1.266±0.0242 mg/mL) and dissolution (91.36±0.431% at 30 minutes); similarly, these data fit with a phase solubility study and in silico molecular modeling. Moreover, the solid-state characterization revealed that the SD complex exhibits the intermolecular hydrogen bond with drug and carrier. Also, the complex does not undergo any chemical modification owing to the amorphous form, and the dye test showed better coloring impact indicating the solubility of CMN. The cell cycle arrest confirmed at G2/M phase from flow cytometry analysis, and Western blot investigation was recognized molecular level cell death and the complex induced more exploit DNA during apoptosis. Conclusion This study confirmed that the ideal stoichiometric ratio of CMN with carrier to enhance its solubility was 1:1. This molecular complex of PXM-407 was found to be more effective against colorectal cancer (CRC) than pure CMN.

Int J Pharm 2020; 588:119737. [PMID: 32758595 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2020.119737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2020] [Revised: 07/19/2020] [Accepted: 08/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Nanosuspensions have received much attention in enhanced transdermal delivery. However, the corresponding mechanisms have not been clarified. In particular, whether nanosuspensions can directly penetrate across the stratum corneum (SC) and what is the transdermal route for the enhanced penetration. Therefore, curcumin (CUR) was adopted in this study as a model drug, while an aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) probe was physically embedded in CUR nanosuspensions, i.e., the CUR hybrid nanosuspensions (CUR-HNSs), for bioimaging. The ACQ properties enable identification of intact CUR-HNSs. The co-localization of particle and CUR signals was exploited to outline the translocation profiles of intact nanosuspensions as well as the cargoes. Three sizes of CUR-HNSs are prepared, which are spherical and amorphous. CUR is poor in transdermal transport even in propylene glycol solution, which was enhanced by nanosuspensions. Although 400 nm CUR-HNSs present higher steady state flux than 140 nm and 730 nm ones, the cumulative amount of permeated CUR is yet less than 2% of the applied dose at 12 h. Co-localization of CUR and ACQ probe signals indicates that CUR-HNSs can infiltrate into the SC layer and accumulate in the hair follicles. The intact CUR-HNSs cannot enter into the skin. On the contrary, CUR molecules diffuse into the whole skin tissues following dissolution of CUR-HNSs in the SC and the hair follicles. In conclusion, nanosuspensions are advantageous for transdermal delivery of poorly permeable drugs by filtrate into the SC and accumulate in hair follicles.

BACKGROUND Although curcumin has been demonstrated to be beneficial in treating various diseases, its low solubility, chemical stability and bioavailability limit its application, especially in cancer therapy. METHODS Solid dispersions have been utilized in the last few decades to improve the bioavailability and stability of curcumin. RESULTS However, there is a lack of summaries and classifications of the methods for preparing curcumin with this technology. The current review aims to overview the strategies used to develop solid dispersions containing curcumin for improving drug delivery. The classification of techniques for creating solid dispersions for curcumin was summarized, including systems for protecting curcumin degradation despite its chemical stability. The applications of advanced nanotechnologies in recent studies of solid dispersions were also discussed to explain the roles of nanoparticles in formulations. CONCLUSION This overview of recent developments in formulating solid dispersions for improving curcumin bioavailability will contribute to future studies of curcumin for clinical development.

Abstract
Kaempferia parviflora (KP) is an herbal medicine for enhancement of physical fitness and male sexual function improvement with low oral absorption of the main active compounds, methoxyflavones. The purpose of this study is to optimize the preparation of nanosuspensions of KP extract for enhancing intestinal absorption using antisolvent precipitation technique which is an accessible nanomanufacturing methodology in the small industrial factory. Nanosuspensions were prepared using various types and concentrations of stabilizers. Then, the dry powder of KP nanosuspension was produced by spray drying. Its dissolution rate was determined using USP dissolution apparatus II. The rat everted intestinal sac was tested to confirm the improvement of intestinal absorption of KP nanosuspension. The result showed that 3% sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) was the optimal condition for covering the nano-size of KP nanosuspension. KP nanosuspensions had particle sizes ranging from 100 to 300 nm with narrow size distribution (PDI < 0.60) and zeta potential at - 58 to - 70 mV. These characteristics were stable at 4°C and 25°C/60%RH for 1-month storage. Its methoxyflavones content also unchanged at 4°C and 25°C/60%RH for 1-month storage. KP nanosuspension released > 80% of the methoxyflavones within 30 min both in 0.1 N HCl and 0.01 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.8). Moreover, the developed nanosuspension dramatically improved the rat intestinal absorption about 10-fold. Therefore, the KP nanosuspension was successfully prepared. It has relatively high stability, fast dissolution rate, and high intestinal absorption.

Abstract
The flavonoid naringenin (NAR) exhibits an outstanding anti-inflammatory potential; however, stability problems and reduced solubility hinder its commercial insertion. This work aimed to obtain solid-state hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (CD) inclusion complexes with NAR using, for the first time, the solvent change precipitation method. For this, molecular modeling and physicochemical characterizations were conducted, followed by in vitro and in vivo assays. The complexation method showed thermal and spectroscopic evidence of NAR inclusion complexes formation, suggesting an improvement of its stability. Additionally, 30 min-dissolution efficiency of the complex was 57.2 %, whereas NAR, as supplied, showed only 14.3 %, a four-fold enhancement. In vitro and in vivo performance attested the potent anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive profile of NAR with significant suppression of TNF-α production. Moreover, NAR complexation with CD improved its therapeutic effect, which showed similar activity to that achieved with NAR as supplied but employing only 1/5 of its dose.

Abstract
In this study, borneol, a natural active compound was applied to improve the bioavailability of curcumin (CUR). In order to increase CUR solubility and dissolution, solid dispersions (SDs) were prepared with the matrix of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) at various ratios by solvent evaporation method. CUR was evidenced to exist as amorphous state in solid dispersion by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was utilized to confirm intermolecular hydrogen bonding. The SD at the ratio of 1:3 (CUR:PVP) exhibited the optimal solubility and dissolution rate in various media. The results of ex vivo permeability studies by everted gut sac method showed that the apparent permeability coefficients (Papp) of CUR in SD across the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum had been significantly improved by co-incubation of borneol, and the improvement degree relied on the concentration of borneol. The pharmacokinetic results in rats indicated that the AUC0-t of CUR-SD (40 mg/kg) co-administration of borneol (90 mg/kg) were 2.53-fold higher than CUR-SD alone, and 19.41-fold higher than pure CUR (200 mg/kg) with borneol (90 mg/kg). Therefore, the combination of borneol and solid dispersion strategy provide a potential approach to enhance the oral bioavailability of CUR.

Abstract
Background 7,3',4'-Trihydroxyisoflavone (734THI), a secondary metabolite derived from daidzein in soybean, possesses several biological activities, including antioxidant, skin whitening and anti-atopic dermatitis properties, but the poor aqueous solubility of 734THI has limited its application in medicine and cosmetic industry. Methods The aim of the present study was to improve the physicochemical properties of 734THI using planetary ball mill preparation under a solvent-free process to improve its solubility and anti-pollutant activity. Results 734THI nanoparticle powder (734THIN) was successfully prepared by the planetary ball mill technique using polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 as the excipient. 734THIN effectively increased the aqueous solubility and cellular uptake of 734THI by improving its physicochemical properties, including particle size reduction, crystalline-amorphous transformation and intermolecular hydrogen bonding with polyvinylpyrrolidone K30. In addition, 734THIN inhibited the overexpression of COX-2 and MMP-9 by downregulating MAPK pathway signaling in particulate matter-exposed HaCaT keratinocytes, while raw 734THI in PBS with low aqueous solubility did not show any anti-inflammatory or antiaging activity. Conclusion 734THIN may be used as an additive in anti-pollutant skin care products for preventing particulate matter-induced inflammation and aging in skin.

Nanotechnology has gained significant attention due to its extensive applications in biomedicine, particularly related to bio imaging and drug delivery. Various nanodevices and nanomaterials have been developed for the diagnosis and treatment of different diseases. Herein, we have described two primary aspects of the nanomedicine, i.e., in vivo imaging and drug delivery, highlighting the recent advancements and future explorations. Tremendous advancements in the nanotechnology tools for the imaging, particularly of the cancer cells, have recently been observed. Nanoparticles offer a suitable medium to carryout molecular level modifications including the site-specific imaging and targeting. Invention of radionuclides, quantum dots, magnetic nanoparticles, and carbon nanotubes and use of gold nanoparticles in biosensors have revolutionized the field of imaging, resulting in easy understanding of the pathophysiology of disease, improved ability to diagnose and enhanced therapeutic delivery. This high specificity and selectivity of the nanomedicine is important, and thus, the recent advancements in this field need to be understood for a better today and a more prosperous future.
