El-Say KM, Megahed MA, Abdalla A, El-Sawy HS, Afify H, Ramadan AA, Ahmed TA. P-gp inhibition and enhanced oral bioavailability of amikacin Sulfate: A novel approach using Thiolated Chito-PEGylated Lipidic Hybrids. Int J Pharm 2024; 658:124200. [PMID: 38710298 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124200] [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: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to develop oral lipidic hybrids of amikacin sulfate (AMK), incorporating thiolated chitosan as a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor to enhance intestinal absorptivity and bioavailability. Three formulations were designed: PEGylated Liposomes, Chitosan-functionalized PEGylated (Chito-PEGylated) Lipidic Hybrids, and Thiolated Chito-PEGylated Lipidic Hybrids. The physical characteristics of nanovesicles were assessed. Ex-vivo permeation and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) studies were conducted to evaluate the formulations' potential to enhance AMK intestinal permeability. In-vivo pharmacokinetic studies in rats and histological/biochemical investigations assessed the safety profile and oral bioavailability. The AMK-loaded Thiolated Chito-PEGylated Lipidic Hybrids exhibited favorable physical characteristics, higher ex-vivo permeation parameters, and verified P-gp inhibition via CLSM. They demonstrated heightened oral bioavailability (68.62% absolute bioavailability) and a sufficient safety profile. Relative bioavailability was significantly higher (1556.3% and 448.79%) compared to PEGylated Liposomes and Chito-PEGylated Lipidic Hybrids, respectively, indicating remarkable oral AMK delivery with fewer doses, reduced side effects, and enhanced patient compliance.

Enhanced In Vitro Antiviral Activity of Ivermectin-Loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carriers against Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus via Improved Intracellular Delivery. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:601. [PMID: 38794264 PMCID: PMC11125651 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16050601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is an acute enteric coronavirus, inducing watery diarrhea and high mortality in piglets, leading to huge economic losses in global pig industry. Ivermectin (IVM), an FDA-approved antiparasitic agent, is characterized by high efficacy and wide applicability. However, the poor bioavailability limits its application. Since the virus is parasitized inside the host cells, increasing the intracellular drug uptake can improve antiviral efficacy. Hence, we aimed to develop nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) to enhance the antiviral efficacy of IVM. The findings first revealed the capacity of IVM to inhibit the infectivity of PEDV by reducing viral replication with a certain direct inactivation effect. The as-prepared IVM-NLCs possessed hydrodynamic diameter of 153.5 nm with a zeta potential of -31.5 mV and high encapsulation efficiency (95.72%) and drug loading (11.17%). IVM interacted with lipids and was enveloped in lipid carriers with an amorphous state. Furthermore, its encapsulation in NLCs could enhance drug internalization. Meanwhile, IVM-NLCs inhibited PEDV proliferation by up to three orders of magnitude in terms of viral RNA copies, impeding the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and mitigating the mitochondrial dysfunction caused by PEDV infection. Moreover, IVM-NLCs markedly decreased the apoptosis rate of PEDV-induced Vero cells. Hence, IVM-NLCs showed superior inhibitory effect against PEDV compared to free IVM. Together, these results implied that NLCs is an efficient delivery system for IVM to improve its antiviral efficacy against PEDV via enhanced intracellular uptake.

Abstract
Overcoming P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated efflux poses a significant challenge for the pharmaceutical industry. This study investigates the potential of thiolated β-cyclodextrins (β-CD-SHs) as inhibitors of P-gp-mediated efflux in Caco-2 cells. Through a series of transport assays, intracellular accumulation, and efflux of the P-gp substrates Rhodamine 123 (Rh123) and Calcein-AM with and without co-administration of β-CD-SHs were assessed. The results revealed that the cellular uptake of Rh123 and Calcein-AM were enhanced up to 7- and 3-fold, compared to the control, respectively. In efflux studies an up to 2.5-fold reduction of the Rh123 efflux was reached compared the control, indicating a substantial decrease of Rh123 efflux by β-CD-SHs. Furthermore, it was observed that β-CD-SHs led to a decrease in the reactivity of fluorescence-labeled anti-P-gp, suggesting additional effects on the conformation of P-gp. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of β-CD-SHs as effective modulator of P-gp-mediated drug efflux in Caco-2 cells.

Abstract
Oral drug administration has been a popular choice due to patient compliance and limited clinical resources. Orally delivered drugs must circumvent the harsh gastrointestinal (GI) environment to effectively enter the systemic circulation. The GI tract has a number of structural and physiological barriers that limit drug bioavailability including mucus, the tightly regulated epithelial layer, immune cells, and associated vasculature. Nanoparticles have been used to enhance oral bioavailability of drugs, as they can act as a shield to the harsh GI environment and prevent early degradation while also increasing uptake and transport of drugs across the intestinal epithelium. Evidence suggests that different nanoparticle formulations may be transported via different intracellular mechanisms to cross the intestinal epithelium. Despite the existence of a significant body of work on intestinal transport of nanoparticles, many key questions remain: What causes the poor bioavailability of the oral drugs? What factors contribute to the ability of a nanoparticle to cross different intestinal barriers? Do nanoparticle properties such as size and charge influence the type of endocytic pathways taken? In this Review, we summarize the different components of intestinal barriers and the types of nanoparticles developed for oral delivery. In particular, we focus on the various intracellular pathways used in nanoparticle internalization and nanoparticle or cargo translocation across the epithelium. Understanding the gut barrier, nanoparticle characteristics, and transport pathways may lead to the development of more therapeutically useful nanoparticles as drug carriers.

Abstract
In the emerging field of nanomedicine, nanoparticles have been widely considered as drug carriers and are now used in various clinically approved products. Therefore, in this study, we synthesized superparamagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) via green chemistry, and the SPIONs were further coated with tamoxifen-conjugated bovine serum albumin (BSA-SPIONs-TMX). The BSA-SPIONs-TMX were within the nanometric hydrodynamic size (117 ± 4 nm), with a small poly dispersity index (0.28 ± 0.02) and zeta potential of -30.2 ± 0.09 mV. FTIR, DSC, X-RD, and elemental analysis confirmed that BSA-SPIONs-TMX were successfully prepared. The saturation magnetization (Ms) of BSA-SPIONs-TMX was found to be ~8.31 emu/g, indicating that BSA-SPIONs-TMX possess superparamagnetic properties for theragnostic applications. In addition, BSA-SPIONs-TMX were efficiently internalized into breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and T47D) and were effective in reducing cell proliferation of breast cancer cells, with IC50 values of 4.97 ± 0.42 μM and 6.29 ± 0.21 μM in MCF-7 and T47D cells, respectively. Furthermore, an acute toxicity study on rats confirmed that these BSA-SPIONs-TMX are safe for use in drug delivery systems. In conclusion, green synthesized superparamagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles have the potential to be used as drug delivery carriers and may also have diagnostic applications.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is featured by aggression and metastasis and remains an unmet medical challenge due to high death rate. We aimed to repurpose maduramicin (MAD) as an effective drug against TNBC, and develop a nanoemulsion system to enhance anticancer efficacy of MAD. MDA-MB-231 and 4 T1 cells were used as in vitro model, and cell viability was determined by performing cell counting kit-8 and a colony-formation assay. Furthermore, MAD loaded nanoemulsion (MAD-NEs) was manufactured and characterized by a series of tests. The anticancer and anti-metastasis mechanism of MAD-NEs were assessed by performing cell cycle, apoptosis, wound-healing, transwell assay and Western blotting assays. Herein, MAD was firstly demonstrated to be an effective agent to suppress growth of TNBC cells. Subsequently, the optimized MAD-NEs were shown to have stability and high encapsulation efficiency, and could arrested cells in G0/G1 phase and induced apoptosis in TNBC cells. More importantly, MAD-NEs significantly impeded the metastasis of tumor cells, which was further demonstrated by the significant altered expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and extracellular matrix markers in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, compared to MAD, MAD-NEs exhibited higher efficacy in shrinking breast tumor size and repressing liver and lung metastasis in vivo, and showed excellent biocompatibility in tumor-bearing mice. The successfully prepared MAD-NEs are expected to be harnessed to suppress tumor growth, invasion and metastasis in the battle against malignant TNBC.

Abstract
Pioglitazone (PGZ) is utilized as a therapeutic agent in the management of (type 2) diabetes to control blood glucose levels. The existing research work was intended to make and optimize PGZ-containing NLCs (nanostructured lipid carriers). The fabricated nanostructured lipid carrier preparation was optimized by using different concentrations of the surfactants (Tween 80 and Span 80) and solid lipid (Compritol® 888 ATO) and liquid lipid (Labrasol®) while keeping the concentration of drug (PGZ), and co-surfactants (poloxamer 188) the same. The optimized NLC formulation (PGZ-NLCs) was further assessed for physical and chemical characterization, in vitro PGZ release, and stability studies. The optimized PGZ-NLCs have shown an average diameter of 150.4 nm, EE of 92.53%, PDI value of 0.076, and zeta-potential of −29.1 mV, correspondingly. The DSC thermal analysis and XRD diffractograms had not presented the spectrum of PGZ, confirming the comprehensive encapsulation of PGZ in the lipid core. PGZ-NLCs showed significantly extended release (51% in 24 h) compared to the unformulated PGZ. Our study findings confirmed that PGZ-NLCs can be a promising drug delivery system for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

[PMID: 35890226 PMCID: PMC9323563 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14071330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Revised: 06/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Maduramicin ammonium (MAD) is one of the most frequently used anticoccidial agents in broiler chickens. However, the high toxicity and low solubility of MAD limit its clinical application. In this study, MAD-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (MAD–NLCs) were prepared to overcome the defects of MAD by using highly soluble nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs). The formulation was optimized via a three-level, three-factor Box–Behnken response surface method. Then, the optimal MAD–NLCs were evaluated according to their hydrodynamic diameter (HD), zeta potential (ZP), crystal structure, encapsulation efficiency (EE), drug loading (DL), in vitro release, and anticoccidial effect. The optimal MAD–NLCs had an HD of 153.6 ± 3.044 nm and a ZP of −41.4 ± 1.10 mV. The X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy results indicated that the MAD was encapsulated in the NLCs in an amorphous state. The EE and DL were 90.49 ± 1.05% and 2.34 ± 0.04%, respectively, which indicated that the MAD was efficiently encapsulated in the NLCs. In the in vitro study, the MAD–NLCs demonstrated a slow and sustained drug release behavior. Notably, MAD–NLCs had an excellent anticoccidial effect against Eimeria tenella in broiler chickens. In summary, MAD–NLCs have huge potential to form a new preparation administered via drinking water with a powerful anticoccidial effect.

A different approach to immunochemotherapy for colon Cancer: Development of nanoplexes of cyclodextrins and Interleukin-2 loaded with 5-FU. Int J Pharm 2022; 623:121940. [PMID: 35724824 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.121940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 06/13/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Immune system deficiencies are crucial in the progression of cancer, predominantly because immune cells are not stimulated by cytokines to eradicate cancer cells. Immunochemotherapy is currently considered an innovative approach that creates pathways in cancer treatment, sometimes also aiding in the efficacy of chemotherapeutics. The aim of this study was to prepare a cyclodextrin (CD) nanoplex based on charge interaction to deliver the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and Interleukin-2 (IL-2), thereby forming a nanoscale drug delivery system aimed at chemo-immunotherapy for colorectal cancers. The CD:IL-2 nanoplexes were obtained with a particle size below 100 nm and a cationic surface charge based on the extent of charge interaction of the cationic CD polymer with negatively charged IL-2. The loading capacity of CD nanoplexes was 40% for 5-FU and 99.8% for IL-2. Nanoplexes maintained physical stability in terms of particle size and zeta potential in aqueous solution for 1 week at + 4 °C. Moreover, the structural integrity of IL-2 loaded into CD nanoplexes was confirmed by SDS-PAGE analysis. The cumulative release rates of both 5-FU and IL-2 were found to be more than 80% in simulated biological fluids in 12 h. Cell culture studies demonstrate that CD polymers are safe on healthy L929 mouse fibroblast cells. Drug-loaded CD nanoplexes were determined to have a higher anticancer effect than free drug solution against CT26 mouse colon carcinoma cells. In addition, intestinal permeability studies supported the conclusion that CD nanoplexes could be promising candidates for oral chemotherapy as well. In conclusion, effective cancer therapy utilizing the absorptive/cellular uptake effect of CDs, the synergic effect and co-transport of chemotherapeutic drugs and immunotherapeutic molecules is a promising approach. Furthermore, the transport of IL-2 with this nano-sized system can reduce or avoid its toxicity problem in the clinic.

Abstract
As immune adjuvants assisting vaccines, nanoparticle delivery systems have been widely exploited. Squalene, the major ingredient of approved adjuvant MF59, has great potential in activating immune responses. In the current study, model antigen ovalbumin (OVA) was encapsulated into squalene-based nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), and the chitosan, a cationic polysaccharide, was used for modifying nanoparticles to develop a functionalized and cationic nanoparticle delivery system (OVA-csNLCs). Firstly, the optimal formulation of csNLCs was successfully screened out, and had hydrodynamic diameter of 235.80 ± 5.99 nm and zeta potential of 34.90 ± 6.95 mV. Then, the generated OVA-csNLCs had no significant difference in hydrodynamic diameter and exhibited lower zeta potential of 19.03 ± 0.31 mV and high encapsulation efficiency of 83.4%. Sucrose (10%, w/w) was selected as optimal lyoprotectant, exhibiting good stability of OVA-csNLCs in the form of freeze-dried powder. More importantly, the OVA-csNLCs effectively promoted OVA antigen uptake by macrophage, significantly enhanced the level of OVA-specific IgG, and induced a Th2-based immune response in vivo. Furthermore, mice immunization experiment demonstrated that OVA-csNLCs had well biocompatibility and facilitated spleen lymphocytes proliferation. Above findings indicate that chitosan modified squalene nanostructured lipid carriers show promise as antigen delivery system and an open adjuvant platform.

Abstract
Spray drying is an important technology that is fast, simple, reproducible, and scalable. It has a wide application range, that is, in food, chemicals, and encapsulation of pharmaceuticals. The technology can be divided into conventional spray drying and nano spray drying. The key advantage of nano spray drying is the production of drug-loaded nanosized particles for various drug delivery applications. The recent developments in nano spray dryer technology and the market launch of the Nano Spray Dryer B-90 by Büchi Labortechnik AG in 2009 enabled the production of submicron spray-dried particles. This review focuses on nanosized drug delivery systems intended for oral administration produced by nano spray drying. First, the nano spray drying concept, the basic technologies implemented in the equipment, and the effects of the various process parameters on the final dry submicron powder properties are presented. Then, the topics of new formulation strategies of oral drugs are highlighted with examples that have entered the research literature in recent years. Next, the subjects of direct conversion of poorly water-soluble drugs, encapsulation of drugs, and drying of preformed nanoparticles are considered. Finally, topics such as morphology, particle size, size distribution, surface analysis, bioavailability, drug release, release kinetics, and solid-state characterization (by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance) of oral drug delivery systems produced by nano spray drying are discussed. The review attempts to provide a comprehensive knowledge base with current literature and foresight to researchers working in the field of pharmaceutical technology and nanotechnology and especially in the field of nano spray drying.

Pharmaceutical Formulations with P-Glycoprotein Inhibitory Effect as Promising Approaches for Enhancing Oral Drug Absorption and Bioavailability. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13071103.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is crucial in the active transport of various substrates with diverse structures out of cells, resulting in poor intestinal permeation and limited bioavailability following oral administration. P-gp inhibitors, including small molecule drugs, natural constituents, and pharmaceutically inert excipients, have been exploited to overcome P-gp efflux and enhance the oral absorption and bioavailability of many P-gp substrates. The co-administration of small molecule P-gp inhibitors with P-gp substrates can result in drug–drug interactions and increased side effects due to the pharmacological activity of these molecules. On the other hand, pharmaceutically inert excipients, including polymers, surfactants, and lipid-based excipients, are safe, pharmaceutically acceptable, and are not absorbed from the gut. Notably, they can be incorporated in pharmaceutical formulations to enhance drug solubility, absorption, and bioavailability due to the formulation itself and the P-gp inhibitory effects of the excipients. Different formulations with inherent P-gp inhibitory activity have been developed. These include micelles, emulsions, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, microspheres, dendrimers, and solid dispersions. They can bypass P-gp by different mechanisms related to their properties. In this review, we briefly introduce P-gp and P-gp inhibitors, and we extensively summarize the current development of oral drug delivery systems that can bypass and inhibit P-gp to improve the oral absorption and bioavailability of P-gp substrates. Since many drugs are limited by P-gp-mediated efflux, this review is helpful for designing suitable formulations of P-gp substrates to enhance their oral absorption and bioavailability.

Abstract
Ezetimibe (EZE) possesses low aqueous solubility and poor bioavailability and in addition, its extensive hepatic metabolism supports the notion of developing a novel carrier system for EZE. Ezetimibe was encapsulated into nanostructured lipid carriers (EZE-NLCs) via a high pressure homogenization technique (HPH). A three factor, two level (23) full factorial design was employed to study the effect of amount of poloxamer 188 (X1), pressure of HPH (X2) and number of HPH cycle (X3) on dependent variables. Particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), % entrapment efficiency (%EE), zeta potential, drug content and in-vitro drug release were evaluated. The optimized formulation displays pragmatic inferences associated with particle size of 134.5 nm; polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.244 ± 0.03; zeta potential of −28.1 ± 0.3 mV; % EE of 91.32 ± 1.8% and % CDR at 24-h of 97.11%. No interaction was observed after X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies. EZE-NLCs (6 mg/kg/day p.o.) were evaluated in the high fat diet fed rats induced hyperlipidemia in comparison with EZE (10 mg/kg/day p.o.). Triglyceride, HDL-c, LDL-c and cholesterol were significantly normalized and histopathological evaluation showed normal structure and architecture of the hepatocytes. The results demonstrated the superiority of EZE-NLCs in regard to bioavailability enhancement, dose reduction and dose-dependent side effects.

Optimization of Tilmicosin-Loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carriers Using Orthogonal Design for Overcoming Oral Administration Obstacle. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:303.

Abstract
Tilmicosin (TMS) is widely used to treat bacterial infections in veterinary medicine, but the clinical effect is limited by its poor solubility, bitterness, gastric instability, and intestinal efflux transport. Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) are nowadays considered to be a promising vector of therapeutic drugs for oral administration. In this study, an orthogonal experimental design was applied for optimizing TMS-loaded NLCs (TMS-NLCs). The ratios of emulsifier to mixed lipids, stearic acid to oleic acid, drugs to mixed lipids, and cold water to hot emulsion were selected as the independent variables, while the hydrodynamic diameter (HD), drug loading (DL), and entrapment efficiency (EE) were the chosen responses. The optimized TMS-NLCs had a small HD, high DL, and EE of 276.85 ± 2.62 nm, 9.14 ± 0.04%, and 92.92 ± 0.42%, respectively. In addition, a low polydispersity index (0.231 ± 0.001) and high negative zeta potential (-31.10 ± 0.00 mV) indicated the excellent stability, which was further demonstrated by uniformly dispersed spherical nanoparticles under transmission electron microscopy. TMS-NLCs exhibited a slow and sustained release behavior in both simulated gastric juice and intestinal fluid. Furthermore, MDCK-chAbcg2/Abcb1 cell monolayers were successfully established to evaluate their absorption efficiency and potential mechanism. The results of biodirectional transport showed that TMS-NLCs could enhance the cellular uptake and inhibit the efflux function of drug transporters against TMS in MDCK-chAbcg2/Abcb1 cells. Moreover, the data revealed that TMS-NLCs could enter the cells mainly via the caveolae/lipid raft-mediated endocytosis and partially via macropinocytosis. Furthermore, TMS-NLCs showed the same antibacterial activity as free TMS. Taken together, the optimized NLCs were the promising oral delivery carrier for overcoming oral administration obstacle of TMS.

Abstract
As one of the effective broad-spectrum antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory drugs, tilmicosin (TIM) is applied extensively in a wide range of veterinary treatments. However, the low bioavailability typically leads to overuse of TIM in practical applications, which can cause residual accumulation in the environment and contamination of foodstuffs. Here, we report a precipitation method that allows us to prepare TIM-loaded poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) (P(MMA-co-MAA)) nanoparticles. Specifically, TIM and biocompatible P(MMA-co-MAA) are dissolved in methanol and then water is introduced as an antisolvent, which triggers the co-precipitation and leads to well-controlled nanoparticles. Depending on the drug/polymer mass ratio and the total concentration of drug and polymer, the formed nanoparticles display a tunable radius from 27 to 80 nm with a narrow size distribution, a high drug loading content, and a controlled release of TIM. The encapsulation does not interrupt the antibacterial function of TIM while reducing its cytotoxicity enormously. Moreover, the formed nanoparticles could be dried to powder through freeze-drying, and the redispersion of the particles hardly disturbs the particle size, size distribution, and drug loading content. Our study developed a facile and robust precipitation method for the controlled construction of TIM-loaded polymeric nanoparticles with tunable properties and functions, as well as improved biocompatibility, which shall improve the bioavailability of TIM and enhance the practical applications.

Development, in vitro and in vivo evaluation of miltefosine loaded nanostructured lipid carriers for the treatment of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis. Int J Pharm 2020; 593:120109.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to enhance the anti-leishmanial efficacy of miltefosine (MTF) and reduce its toxic effects by loading it into nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs). Micro-emulsion technique was used to prepare MTF-loaded NLCs. The optimized NLCs were characterized in terms of various physicochemical parameters including particle size, poly dispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) technique. In vitro and in vivo assays were performed to evaluate the potential of NLCs as an effective nanocarrier system for oral delivery of MTF in Cutaneous Leishmaniasis. The optimized MTF-loaded NLCs exhibited mean particle size of 160.8 ± 5.3 nm with narrow PDI and high incorporation efficiency (IE%) of 96.17 ± 1.3%. MTF-loaded NLCs demonstrated slow release of the incorporated drug as compared to the drug solution. The optimized formulation showed significant decrease in hemolytic potential, 2.5~folds increase in anti-leishmanial efficacy and 6~fold decrease in macrophage cytotoxicity as compared to MTF solution, in vitro. Macrophage uptake study confirmed passive targeting ability of MTF-loaded NLCs. In-vivo analysis demonstrated enhanced anti-leishmanial effect of the MTF-loaded NLCs and better pharmacokinetic profiles with no gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity. NLCs are potential nanocarriers for the oral delivery of MTF with enhanced anti-leishmanial activity, better safety profile and reduced hemolytic potential.

[PMID: 32422903 PMCID: PMC7284889 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics12050451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2020] [Revised: 05/09/2020] [Accepted: 05/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The opposing effect of the blood–brain barrier against the delivery of most drugs warrants the need for an efficient brain targeted drug delivery system for the successful management of neurological disorders. Temazepam-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) have shown possibilities for enhancing bioavailability and brain targeting affinity after oral administration. This study aimed to investigate these properties for insomnia treatment. Temazepam-NLCs were prepared by the solvent injection method and optimized using a 42 full factorial design. The optimum formulation (NLC-1) consisted of; Compritol® 888 ATO (75 mg), oleic acid (25 mg), and Poloxamer® 407 (0.3 g), with an entrapment efficiency of 75.2 ± 0.1%. The average size, zeta potential, and polydispersity index were determined to be 306.6 ± 49.6 nm, −10.2 ± 0.3 mV, and 0.09 ± 0.10, respectively. Moreover, an in vitro release study showed that the optimized temazepam NLC-1 formulation had a sustained release profile. Scintigraphy images showed evident improvement in brain uptake for the oral 99mTc-temazepam NLC-1 formulation versus the 99mTc-temazepam suspension. Pharmacokinetic data revealed a significant increase in the relative bioavailability of 99mTc-temazepam NLC-1 formulation (292.7%), compared to that of oral 99mTc-temazepam suspension. Besides, the NLC formulation exhibited a distinct targeting affinity to rat brain. In conclusion, our results indicate that the developed temazepam NLC formulation can be considered as a potential nanocarrier for brain-mediated drug delivery in the out-patient management of insomnia.

Synthesis of Tilmicosin Nanostructured Lipid Carriers for Improved Oral Delivery in Broilers: Physiochemical Characterization and Cellular Permeation. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25020315. [PMID: 31941074 PMCID: PMC7024240 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25020315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2019] [Revised: 01/05/2020] [Accepted: 01/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to develop nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) for improved oral absorption of tilmicosin (TMS) in broilers. Thus, palmitic acid, lauric acid, and stearic acid were selected as solid lipids to formulate TMS-pNLCs, TMS-lNLCs, and TMS-sNLCs, respectively. They showed similar physicochemical properties and meanwhile possessed excellent storage and gastrointestinal stability. The TMS interacted with the lipid matrix and was encapsulated efficiently in NLCs in an amorphous structure. NLCs could enhance oral absorption of TMS compared to 10% tilmicosin phosphate solution in broilers, among which the TMS-sNLCs were the most efficient drug delivery carriers, with a relative oral bioavailability of 203.55%. NLCs could inhibit the efflux of P-glycoprotein (P-pg) toward TMS, which may be involved with improved oral absorption. Taken together, these types of solid lipids influenced the enhanced level of NLCs toward oral bioavailability of TMS, and the sNLCs proved to be the most promising oral delivery carriers of TMS.
