Abstract
Although nature is a rich source of potential drugs and drug leads, the widespread application of natural products (NPs) is limited due to their poor absorption when administered orally. A strategy of using phytosome has emerged as a promising technique to increase the bioavailability of NPs. Here, a comprehensive computational investigation is performed to explore the nature of interactions in the formation of phytosomes between phosphatidylcholine (PC) and a series of polyphenols (PP), including epigallocatechin-3-gallate (Eg), luteolin (Lu), quercetin (Qu), and resveratrol (Re). Our quantum mechanical calculation revealed that the intermolecular hydrogen bonds (HBs) of phosphate and glycerol parts of PC with the polyphenol compounds are the main driving force in the formation of phytosomes. The strongest HB (with energy HB = - 108.718 kJ/mol) is formed between the Eg molecule and PC. This hydrogen bond results from the flexible structure of the drug which along with several van der Waals (vdW) interactions, makes Eg-PC the most stable complex (adsorption energy = - 164.93 kJ/mol). Energy decomposition analysis confirms that the electrostatic interactions (hydrogen bond and dipole-diploe interactions) have a major contribution to the stabilization of the studied complexes. The obtained results from the molecular dynamics simulation revealed that the formation of phytosomes varies depending on the type of polyphenol. It is found that the intermolecular hydrogen bonds between PP and PC are a key factor in the behavior of the PP-PC complex in the self-aggregation of phytosome. In Eg-PC, Lu-PC, and Qu-PC systems, the formation of strong hydrogen bonds (HBCP < 0 and ∇2ρBCP > 0) between PP and PC protects the PP-PC complexes from degradation. The steered molecular dynamics simulation results have a good agreement with experimental data and confirm that the phytosome platform facilitates the penetration of PP compounds into the membrane cells.

Abstract
Lipophilic nutrients are known to have relatively poor absorption, thus limiting their bioaccessibility. Consequently, researchers in food and pharmaceutical areas are exploring different techniques to promote the efficient delivery of lipophilic nutrients. The effects of two polar lipids, namely mono-, di-glycerides (MDG) and lecithin (PL), on the bioaccessibility of lipophilic nutrients were investigated in this study with a protein-based emulsion model system. During the emulsion preparation and formation, the incorporation of MDG/PL was found to benefit the dissolution and stabilization of lipophilic nutrients, such as lutein, and could also modify the construction of the emulsion surface. An in vitro digestion study showed that the use of MDG/PL could significantly increase the bioaccessibility of lipophilic nutrients [lutein, vitamin E, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)] by 13.52%, 186.90%, and 36.17% in a protein-based emulsion system. The use of MDG and PL decreased the interfacial tension in all the samples: protein only 20.65 mN m-1, protein-PL 6.47 mN m-1, and protein-MDG/PL 4.23 mN m-1, as well as 12.11 mN m-1, 1.26 mN m-1 and 1.16 mN m-1 with the presence of bile salts. Caco-2 cell culture results showed that, with the application of MDG/PL, the absorption rate of micelles was higher than that in the other groups and this resulted in a 70% absorption increase for lutein. Therefore, MDG/PL can improve the lipophilic nutrient absorption via promoting the affinity of formed micelles to the enterocytes of the small intestine. This study exhibited the effectiveness of MDG/PL on improving the bioaccessibility of lipophilic nutrients in a protein-based emulsion system mimicking the digestion and absorption fate of breast milk in an infant's gastric intestinal tract, thus suggesting that MDG/PL can be used as a technical pathway to improve the absorption of lipophilic nutrients.

Extra virgin olive oil-based phospholipid complex/self-microemulsion enhances oral absorption of salvianolic acid B through inhibition of catechol-O-methyltransferase-mediated metabolism. Int J Pharm 2022; 611:121330.

Abstract
The oral bioavailability of many phenolic acid drugs is severely limited due to the high hydrophilicity and extensive first-pass effect induced by catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) metabolism. The present study investigated the inhibitory activity of the pharmaceutical excipients of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) against COMT and evaluated the potential of a self-microemulsion loaded with a phospholipid complex containing EVOO for oral absorption enhancement of salvianolic acid B (SAB), a model phenolic acid. In vitro COMT assay showed that EVOO could effectively inhibit enzyme activity in the rat liver cytosol. Next, the SAB phospholipid complex/self-microemulsion containing EVOO (named SP-SME1) was prepared and characterized (particle size, 243.60 ± 6.96 nm and zeta potential, -23.67 ± -1.36 mV). The phospholipid complex/self-microemulsion containing ethyl oleate (EO) (named SP-SME2) was taken as the control group. Compared with free SAB, the apparent permeability coefficient (Papp value) of the two SP-SMEs significantly increased (12.0-fold and 10.90-fold). Pharmacokinetic study demonstrated that the AUC0-∞ value of SAB for the SP-SME1 group significantly increased by 4.72 and 2.82 times compared to those for free SAB (p < 0.001) and SP-SME2 (p < 0.01), respectively. Moreover, the AUC0-∞ value of monomethyl-SAB (metabolite of SAB, MMS) for the SP-SME1 group decreased by 0.83 times compared to that for SP-SME2. In conclusion, the EVOO-based phospholipid complex/self-microemulsion greatly enhanced the oral absorption of SAB, which was mainly attributed to the inhibition of COMT activity induced by EVOO.

Abstract
Amorphization is one of the most effective pharmaceutical approaches to enhance the dissolution and oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. In recent years, amorphous formulations have been experiencing rapid development both in theoretical and practical application. Based on using different types of stabilizing agents, amorphous formulations can be mainly classified as polymer-based amorphous solid dispersion, coamorphous formulation, mesoporous silica-based amorphous formulation, etc. This paper summarizes recent advances in the dissolution and supersaturation of these amorphous formulations. Moreover, we also highlight the roles of stabilizing agents such as polymers, low molecular weight co-formers, and mesoporous silica. Maintaining supersaturation in solution is a key factor for the enhancement of dissolution profile and oral bioavailability, and thus, the strategies and challenges for maintaining supersaturation are also discussed. With an in-depth understanding of the inherent mechanisms of dissolution behaviors, the design of amorphous pharmaceutical formulations will become more scientific and reasonable, leading to vigorous development of commercial amorphous drug products.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 90:153651. [PMID: 34340903 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2021.153651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2021] [Revised: 06/28/2021] [Accepted: 07/01/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although numerous medicinal herbal compounds demonstrate promising therapeutic potential, their clinical application is often limited by their poor oral bioavailability. To circumvent this barrier, various lipid-based herbal formulations have been developed and trialled with promising experimental results. PURPOSE This scoping review aims to describe the effect of lipid-based formulations on the oral bioavailability of herbal compounds. METHODS A systematic search was conducted across three electronic databases (Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library) between January 2010 and January 2021 to identify relevant studies. The articles were rigorously screened for eligibility. Data from eligible studies were then extracted and collated for synthesis and descriptive analysis using Covidence. RESULTS A total of 109 studies were included in the present review: 105 animal studies and four clinical trials. Among the formulations investigated, 50% were emulsions, 34% lipid particulate systems, 12% vesicular systems, and 4% were other types of lipid-based formulations. Within the emulsion system classification, self-emulsifying drug delivery systems were observed to produce the best improvements in oral bioavailability, followed by mixed micellar formulations. The introduction of composite lipid-based formulations and the use of uncommon surfactants such as sodium oleate in emulsion preparation was shown to consistently enhance the bioavailability of herbal compounds with poor oral absorption. Interestingly, the lipid-based formulations of magnesium lithospermate B and Pulsatilla chinensis produced an absolute bioavailability greater than 100% indicating the possibility of prolonged systemic circulation. With respect to chemical conjugation, D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) was the most frequently used and significantly improved the bioavailability of its phytoconstituents. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that there is no distinct lipid-based formulation superior to the other. Bioavailability improvements were largely dependent on the nature of the phytoconstituents. This scoping review, however, provided a detailed summary of the most up-to-date evidence on phytoconstituents formulated into lipid preparations and their oral bioavailability. We conclude that a systematic review and meta-analysis between bioavailability improvements of individual phytoconstituents (such as kaempferol, morin and myricetin) in various lipid-based formulations will provide a more detailed association. Such a review will be highly beneficial for both researchers and herbal manufacturers.

Abstract
This study investigated the efficiency and the related mechanisms of a new absorption enhancer, DL-malic acid (MA), on the oral bioavailability of docetaxel (DTX). Polyethylene glycol polycarbonate (PEG-PCL) modified liposomes (PLip) were prepared for DTX, and incorporated into the pH-sensitive microspheres (MS) with sustained release. MA decreased the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) across a Caco-2 cell monolayer by 20% and 57% after 2 and 3 h of co-incubation with DTX-PLip and the cells, respectively, indicating that MA could open tight junctions but not instantaneously. After long enough exposure (4 h) of MA to the small intestine of rats, only the absorption rate constant (ka) of DTX-PLip, but not Duopafei®, was increased, which could be related to the intestinal mucosal permeability of DTX. After co-administration in rats, MA significantly enhanced the oral bioavailability of DTX in DTX-PLip-MS from 44.67% to 81.27%, rather than DTX-PLip and Duopafei®, which could be related to the prolonged intestinal retention time of DTX-PLip via the MS and the promoted drug intercellular transport by MA. The absorption-enhancing effects of MA on DTX-PLip-MS were further confirmed by in vivo imaging. The above findings suggest that MA served as a new and efficient absorption enhancer for DTX-PLip-MS.HIGHlIGHTSIn this study, malic acid as a new absorption enhancer for DTX in polymer-liposome (PLip) embedded in pH-sensitive microspheres (MS) was found for the first time.The malic acid could significantly enhance oral bioavailability of DTX in DTX-PLip-MS (from 44.67 % to 81.27%) rather than Duopafei® and DTX-PLip after co-administration.The absorption enhancement may be closely related to the intestinal retention time and mucosal permeability.These findings will provide an important reference for the study of absorption enhancers for promoting intercellular insoluble drug transport.

Abstract
Salidroside (SAL) is a phenolic substance with high solubility and low permeability, which make it easy to cause the efflux effect of P-glycoprotein and degradation of intestinal flora, resulting in lower bioavailability. The aim of this study was to develop and optimize a water-in-oil nanoemulsion of SAL (w/o SAL-N) to explore its suitability in oral drug delivery systems. In this work, SAL-N was successfully prepared by water titration method at Km = 1 to construct the pseudo-ternary phase diagrams. Physical characterization including the average viscosity, pH, refractive index, particle size, PDI, TEM, DSC, the content of SAL, and stability study were performed. It was evaluated for drug release in vitro and pharmacokinetic studies in vivo. The optimized nanoemulsion formulation consisted of Labrafil M 1944CS (63%), Span-80/Tween-80/EtOH (27%) and 200 mg∙mL-1 SAL solution (SAL-SOL) (10%). Low viscosity and suitable pH were expected for the nanoemulsion. The spherical morphology and nanoscale size of SAL-N enhanced the stability of the nanoemulsion system. In vitro drug release showed that SAL-N had a better controlled release property than SAL-SOL at earlier time points. The pharmacokinetic studies exhibited that SAL-N had significantly higher in t1/2 (2.11-fold), AUC0-48 h (1.75-fold) and MRT0-48 h (2.63-fold) than SAL-SOL (P < 0.01). The w/o SAL-N prepared in this work can be effectively delivered via the oral route. It can be seen w/o nanoemulsion is a strategy for the drug with polyphenols to delay the release, enhance oral absorption and reduce metabolic rate.

Abstract
To combine the advantages of micelles and biomimetic silica materials, biomimetic micellar mesoporous silica xerogel (BM-SX) was initially established, biomimetic silica xerogel (B-SX) was also studied as control and nitrendipine (NDP) was taken as model drug. The content mainly focused on drug dissolution, systemic stability and cellular transmembrane transport of NDP loaded B-SX and NDP loaded BM-SX. With extra mesopores formed due to HPMC E50 micelles, the mean pore diameter, surface area and pore volume of BM-SX were all larger than B-SX. After loading NDP into the two carriers, crystal NDP changed to amorphous phase, leading to enhanced NDP dissolution. BM-SX presented superior abilities not only for its higher drug dissolution compared to B-SX but also for its capacity in remaining high amorphous drug phase and therefore no drug dissolution reduction can be observed. The dynamic contact angle result confirmed the strong power of HPMC E50 micelles in maintaining amorphous NDP in the carrier to improve high systemic stability. Both B-SX and BM-SX could increase drug absorption permeability and exert function as drug efflux inhibitor to inhibit the efflux effect of p-gp drug pump and promote NDP absorption and transport, and BM-SX was superior owing to micelles in the system.

Abstract
In the present study, a water insoluble drug named silybin was encapsulated into self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) following the preparation of silybin-phospholipid complex (SB-PC), then several methods were carried out to characterize SB-PC-SNEDDS and elucidate its mechanisms to improve the oral absorption of SB. Using a dynamic in vitro digestion model, the lipolysis of SB-PC-SNEDDS was proved to be mainly related with the property of its lipid excipients. SB-PC-SNEDDS could significantly enhance the transport of SB across Caco-2 cells, which may partly attribute to the increased cell membrane fluidity and the loss of tight junction according to the analysis results of fluorescence anisotropy of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) and tight junction protein (ZO-1). The result of in situ perfusion showed the intestinal absorption of SB from high to low was SB-PC-SNEDDS, SB-PC, and SB. The extent of lymphatic transport of SB-PC and SB-PC-SNEDDS via the mesenteric duct was 12.2 and 22.7 folds of that of SB, respectively. In the lymph duct cannulated rats, the relative bioavailability (Fr) of SB-PC and SB-PC-SEDDS compared to SB was 1265.9% and 1802.5%, respectively. All the above results provided mechanistic support for oral absorption improvement of water insoluble drugs by the combination of PC and SNEDDS.
