Buya AB, Mahlangu P, Witika BA. From lab to industrial development of lipid nanocarriers using quality by design approach. Int J Pharm X 2024; 8:100266. [PMID: 39050378 PMCID: PMC11268122 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpx.2024.100266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Lipid nanocarriers have attracted a great deal of interest in the delivery of therapeutic molecules. Despite their many advantages, compliance with quality standards and reproducibility requirements still constrain their industrial production. The relatively high failure rate in lipid nanocarrier research and development can be attributed to immature bottom-up manufacturing practices, leading to suboptimal control of quality attributes. Recently, the pharmaceutical industry has moved toward quality-driven manufacturing, emphasizing the integration of product and process development through the principles of quality by design. Quality by design in the pharmaceutical industry involves a thorough understanding of the quality profile of the target product and involves an assessment of potential risks during the design and development phases of pharmaceutical dosage forms. By identifying essential quality characteristics, such as the active ingredients, excipients and manufacturing processes used during research and development, it becomes possible to effectively control these aspects throughout the life cycle of the drug. Successful commercialization of lipid nanocarriers can be achieved if large-scale challenges are addressed using the QbD approach. QbD has become an essential tool because of its advantages in improving processes and product quality. The application of the QbD approach to the development of lipid nanocarriers can provide comprehensive and remarkable knowledge enabling the manufacture of high-quality products with a high degree of regulatory flexibility. This article reviews the basic considerations of QbD and its application in the laboratory and large-scale development of lipid nanocarriers. Furthermore, it provides forward-looking guidance for the industrial production of lipid nanocarriers using the QbD approach.

Abstract
The present study endeavored to design and develop a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system to improve the solubility and dermatological absorption of curcumin and naringin. Curcumin and naringin-loaded self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system formulations were developed using aqueous phase titration. Phase diagrams were used to pinpoint the self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system zones. Tween 80 and Labrasol (surfactants), Transcutol (cosurfactant), and cinnamon oil were chosen from a large pool of surfactants, cosurfactants, and oils based on their solubility and greatest nano-emulsion region. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, zeta sizer, and atomic force microscopy were used to characterize the optimized formulations and test for dilution and thermodynamic stability. The optimized curcumin-naringin-self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system demonstrated the following characteristics: polydispersity index (0.412 ± 0.03), % transmittance (97%), particle size (212.5 ± 05 nm), zeta potential (- 25.7 ± 1.80 mV) and having a smooth and spherical droplet shape, as shown by atomic force microscopy. The ability of their combined formulation to cure wounds was tested in comparison to pure curcumin suspension, empty self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system, and standard fusidic acid. Upon topical administration, the optimized curcumin-naringin-self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system demonstrated significant wound healing activity in comparison with a pure curcumin suspension, empty self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system, and standard fusidic acid. Based upon this result, we assume that skin penetration was increased by using the optimized curcumin-naringin-self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system with enhanced solubility.

Abstract
Progesterone (PG) has been approved for hormone replacement therapy to mitigate the risk of endometrial carcinoma. However, there has been a lack of success in oral PG due to its rapid degradation. Transdermal PG has advantages but lacks efficacy due to its poor solubility (Log p = 3.9). Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate how combining self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) and polymeric microneedles (MNs) could improve the transdermal delivery of PG in a controlled-release manner. Among PG-SMEDDS, PG-SME5 was selected for its desirable properties and stability. The two-layer polymeric MNs formulation incorporating PG-SME5 (PG-SMEDDS-tMNs) was formulated from aqueous blends of polymers as a first layer and 20% PCL as a second layer. It successfully penetrated neonatal porcine skin with the dissolution of the first layer observed within 15 min after application. In vitro skin permeation revealed that the percentage of PG which permeated the skin over 82 h using PG-SMEDDS-tMNs was higher than a PG-suspension and PG-SMEDDS. The Higuchi kinetic showed controlled release over 15 days of PG from PG-SMEDDS-tMNs. These studies suggested that incorporating PG-SMEDDS into controlled-release two-layer polymeric MNs could be a promising approach for improving the transdermal delivery of PG.

Oral self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems for enhancing bioavailability and anticancer potential of fosfestrol: In vitro and in vivo characterization. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2023; 193:28-43. [PMID: 37858803 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2023.10.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of the current research work was to fabricate a fosfestrol (FST)-loaded self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) to escalate the oral solubility and bioavailability and thereby the effectiveness of FST against prostate cancer. METHODS 32 full factorial design was employed, and the effect of lipid and surfactant mixtures on percentage transmittance, time required for self-emulsification, and drug release were studied. The optimized solid FST-loaded SNEDDS (FSTNE) was characterized for in vitro anticancer activity and Caco-2 cell permeability, and in vivo pharmacokinetic parameters. RESULTS Using different ratios of surfactant and co-surfactant (Km) a pseudo ternary phase diagram was constructed. Thirteen liquid nano emulsion formulations (LNE-1 to LNE-13) were formulated at Km = 3:1. LNE-9 exhibited a higher % transmittance (99.25 ± 1.82 %) and a lower self-emulsification time (24 ± 0.32 s). No incompatibility was observed in FT-IR analysis. Within 20 min the solidified FST loaded LNE-9 (FSTNE) formulation showed almost complete drug release (98.20 ± 1.30 %) when compared to marketed formulation (40.36 ± 2.8 %), and pure FST (32 ± 3.3 %) in 0.1 N HCl. In pH 6.8 phosphate buffer, the release profiles are found moderately higher than in 0.1 N HCl. FSTNE significantly (P < 0.001) inhibited the PC-3 prostate cell proliferation and also caused apoptosis (P < 0.001) compared to FST. The in vitro Caco-2 cell permeability study results revealed 4.68-fold higher cell permeability of FSTNE than FST. Remarkably, 4.5-fold rise in bioavailability was observed after oral administration of FSTNE than plain FST. CONCLUSIONS FSTNE remarkably enhanced the in vitro anticancer activity and Caco-2 cell permeability, and in vivo bioavailability of FST. Thus, FST-SNEDDS could be utilized as a potential carrier for effective oral treatment of prostate cancer.

Enhanced Intestinal Permeability of Cefixime by Self-Emulsifying Drug Delivery System: In-Vitro and Ex-Vivo Characterization. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28062827. [PMID: 36985803 PMCID: PMC10055996 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28062827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cefixime (CFX) belongs to a group of third-generation cephalosporin antibiotics with low water solubility and low intestinal permeability, which ultimately leads to significantly low bioavailability. AIM This study aimed to increase solubility, improve drug release, and intestinal permeability of CFX by loading into SEDDS. METHODS Suitable excipients were selected based on drug solubility, percent transmittance, and emulsification efficiency. Pseudo-ternary phase diagram was fabricated for the identification of effective self-emulsification region. The best probably optimized formulations were further assessed for encumbered drug contents, emulsification time, cloud point measurement, robustness to dilution, mean droplet size, zeta potential, polydispersity index (PDI), and thermodynamic and chemical stability. Moreover, in vitro drug release studies and ex vivo permeation studies were carried out and apparent drug permeability Papp of different formulations was compared with the marketed brands of CFX. RESULTS Amongst the four tested SEDDS formulations, F-2 formulation exhibited the highest drug loading of 96.32%, emulsification time of 40.37 ± 3 s, mean droplet size of 19.01 ± 1.12 nm, and demonstrated improved long-term thermodynamic and chemical stability when stored at 4 °C. Release studies revealed a drug release of 97.32 ± 4.82% within 60 min in simulated gastric fluid. Similarly, 97.12 ± 5.02% release of CFX was observed in simulated intestinal fluid within 120 min; however, 85.13 ± 3.23% release of CFX was observed from the marketed product. Ex vivo permeation studies displayed a 2.7-fold increase apparent permeability compared to the marketed product in 5 h. CONCLUSION Owing to the significantly improved drug solubility, in vitro release and better antibacterial activity, it can be assumed that CFX-loaded SEDDS might lead to an increased bioavailability and antibacterial activity, possibly leading to improved therapeutic effectiveness.

Abstract
Purpose: The goal of this study was to make Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO) nanoemulgel to improve its ability to kill bacteria. BPO has trouble getting into the skin, being absorbed by the skin, staying stable, and being spread out. Methods: A BPO nanoemulgel formulation was prepared by combining BPO nanoemulsion with Carbopol hydrogel. The drug was tested for solubility in various oils and surfactants in order to select the best oil and surfactant for the drug, and then the drug nanoemulsion formulation was prepared using a self-nano-emulsifying technique with Tween 80, Span 80, and lemongrass oil. The drug nanoemulgel was looked at in terms of its particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), rheological behavior, drug release, and antimicrobial activity. Results: Based on the solubility test results, lemongrass oil was the best solubilizing oil for drugs, while Tween 80 and Span 80 demonstrated the highest solubilizing ability for drugs among the surfactants. The optimum self-nano-emulsifying formulation had particle sizes of less than 200 nm and a PDI of close to zero. The results showed that incorporating the SNEDDS formulation of the drug with Carbopol at various concentrations did not cause a significant change in the particle size and PDI of the drug. The zeta potential results for drug nanoemulgel were negative, with more than 30 mV. All nanoemulgel formulations exhibited pseudo-plastic behavior, with 0.4% Carbopol exhibiting the highest release pattern. The drug nanoemulgel formulation worked better against bacteria and acne than the product on the market. Conclusion: Nanoemulgel is a promising way to deliver BPO because it makes the drug more stable and increases its ability to kill bacteria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A significant problem faced by the health care industry today is that though there are numerous drugs available to tackle diseases like cancer, their intrinsic properties make it difficult to be delivered to patients in a feasible manner. One of the key players that have helped researchers overcome poor solubility and permeability of drugs is Nanotechnology, this article further iterates on the same. SIGNIFICANCE Nanotechnology is used as an umbrella term in pharmaceutics and describes under it multiple technologies. Upcoming nanotechnology is a Self Nanoemulsifying System which is considered to be a futuristic delivery system both due to its scientific simplicity and relative ease of patient delivery. METHODS Self-Nano Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (SNEDDS) are homogenous lipidic concoctions containing the drug solubilized in the oil phase and surfactants. The choice of components depends on the physicochemical properties of the drugs, the solubilization capability of oils and the physiological fate of the drug. The article contains further details of various methodologies that have been adopted by scientists to formulate and optimize such systems in order to make anticancer drugs orally deliverable. RESULTS The results that have been generated by scientists across the globe have been summarized in the article and all of the data supports the claim that SNEDDS significantly enhance the solubility and bioavailability of hydrophobic anticancer drugs. CONCLUSIONS This article mainly provides the application of SNEDDS in cancer therapy and concludes to provide a step for the oral administration of several BCS class II and IV anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Oral tadalafil (TD) proved promising in treating pediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). However, to ensure higher efficacy and reduce the systemic side effects, targeted delivery to the lungs through nebulization was proposed as an alternative approach. This poorly soluble drug was previously dissolved in nanoemulsions (NEs). However, the formulations could not resist aqueous dilution, which precluded its dilution with saline for nebulization. Thus, the current study aimed to modify the previous systems into dilutable TD-NEs and assess their suitability for a pulmonary application. In this regard, screening of various excipients was conducted to optimize the former systems; different formulations were selected and characterized in terms of physicochemical properties, nebulization performance, stability following sterilization, and biocompatibility. Results showed that the optimal system comprised of Capmul-MCM-EP:Labrafac-lipophile (1:1) (w/w) as oil, Labrasol:Poloxamer-407 (2:1) (w/w) as surfactant mixture (Smix) and water. The optimum formulation P2TD resisted aqueous dilution, exhibited reasonable drug loading (2.45 mg/mL) and globule size (25.04 nm), acceptable pH and viscosity for pulmonary administration, and could be aerosolized using a jet nebulizer. Moreover, P2TD demonstrated stability following sterilization and a favorable safety profile confirmed by both in-vitro and in-vivo toxicity studies. These favorable findings make P2TD promising for the treatment of pediatric PAH.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Vorinostat is a histone deacetylase inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) with anticancer properties. However, it is plagued by low water solubility, low permeability (BCS class IV drug), and suboptimal pharmacokinetics. The purpose of the present study was to develop a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) to enhance the oral bioavailability of vorinostat. Capryol 90, labrasol, and polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) were selected as oil phase, surfactant, and co-surfactant, respectively. The vorinostat self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems were tested for self-microemulsifying time, phase separation, effect of pH, droplet size, zeta potential, dilution study, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy analysis, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). A rat model in vivo pharmacokinetic study was conducted for the optimized formulation against vorinostat pure drug powder.
Results
The results from the characterization studies showed that the optimized formulation (F7) self-microemulsification time was 1.4 ± 0.05 min and no precipitation or phase separation was observed. The mean droplet size, polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential of the optimized formulation (F7) were found to be 272.9 ± 82.7 nm, 0.415, and − 57.2 mV, respectively. The pharmacokinetic parameters of the optimized formulation (F7) showed a 1.6-fold increase in maximum concentration (Cmax) and a 3.6-fold increase in area under the curve (AUC(0−∞)), in comparison with pure drug in suspension.
Conclusions
The findings suggest that SMEDDS formulation could be an effective method for increasing the oral bioavailability of vorinostat, which is poorly water soluble.

Abstract
Controlling hyperglycemia and avoiding glucose reabsorption are significant goals in type 2 diabetes treatments. Among the numerous modes of medication administration, the oral route is the most common. Introduction: Dapagliflozin is an oral hypoglycemic agent and a powerful, competitive, reversible, highly selective, and orally active human SGLT2 inhibitor. Dapagliflozin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) are the focus of our present investigation. Controlled-release lipid nanocarriers were formulated by integrating them into lipid nanocarriers. The nanoparticle size and lipid utilized for formulation help to regulate the release of pharmaceuticals over some time. Dapagliflozin-loaded nanoparticles were formulated by hot homogenization followed by ultra-sonication. The morphology and physicochemical properties of dapagliflozin-SLNs have been characterized using various techniques. The optimized dapagliflozin-SLNs have a particle size ranging from 100.13 ± 7.2 to 399.08 ± 2.4 nm with 68.26 ± 0.2 to 94.46 ± 0.7% entrapment efficiency (%EE). Dapagliflozin-SLNs were optimized using a three-factor, three-level Box–Behnken design (BBD). Polymer concentration (X1), surfactant concentration (X2), and stirring duration (X3) were chosen as independent factors, whereas %EE, cumulative drug release (%CDR), and particle size were selected as dependent variables. Interactions between drug substances and polymers were studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis indicated the crystalline change from the drug to the amorphous crystal. Electron microscope studies revealed that the SLNs’ structure is nearly perfectly round. It is evident from the findings that dapagliflozin-SLNs could lower elevated blood glucose levels to normal in STZ-induced diabetic rats, demonstrating a better hypoglycemic impact on type 2 diabetic patients. The in vivo pharmacokinetic parameters of SLNs exhibited a significant rise in Cmax (1258.37 ± 1.21 mcg/mL), AUC (5247.04 mcg/mL), and oral absorption (2-fold) of the drug compared to the marketed formulation in the Sprague Dawley rats.

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed the emergence of several viral diseases, including various zoonotic diseases such as the current pandemic caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Other viruses, which possess pandemic-causing potential include avian flu, Ebola, dengue, Zika, and Nipah virus, as well as the re-emergence of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) coronaviruses. Notably, effective drugs or vaccines against these viruses are still to be discovered. All the newly approved vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2-induced disease COVID-19 possess real-time possibility of becoming obsolete because of the development of ‘variants of concern’. Flavonoids are being increasingly recognized as prophylactic and therapeutic agents against emerging and old viral diseases. Around 10,000 natural flavonoid compounds have been identified, being phytochemicals, all plant-based. Flavonoids have been reported to have lesser side effects than conventional anti-viral agents and are effective against more viral diseases than currently used anti-virals. Despite their abundance in plants, which are a part of human diet, flavonoids have the problem of low bioavailability. Various attempts are in progress to increase the bioavailability of flavonoids, one of the promising fields being nanotechnology. This review is a narrative of some anti-viral dietary flavonoids, their bioavailability, and various means with an emphasis on the nanotechnology system(s) being experimented with to deliver anti-viral flavonoids, whose systems show potential in the efficient delivery of flavonoids, resulting in increased bioavailability.

Abstract
This study is aimed at developing coriander oil into a nanoemulgel and evaluating its antimicrobial and anticancer effects. Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) oil was developed into a nanoemulgel by using a self-nanoemulsifying technique with Tween 80 and Span 80. Hydrogel material (Carbopol 940) was then incorporated into the nanoemulsion and mixed well. After this, we evaluated the particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), rheology, antimicrobial effect, and cytotoxic activity. The nanoemulsion had a PDI of 0.188 and a particle size of 165.72 nm. Interesting results were obtained with the nanoemulgel against different types of bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2.3 μg/ml, 3.75 μg/ml, and 6.5 μg/ml, respectively. In addition, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the nanoemulgel when applying it to human breast cancer cells (MCF-7), hepatocellular carcinoma cells (Hep3B), and human cervical epithelioid carcinoma cells (HeLa) was 28.84 μg/ml, 28.18 μg/ml, and 24.54 μg/ml, respectively, which proves that the nanoemulgel has anticancer effects. The development of C. sativum oil into a nanoemulgel by using a self-nanoemulsifying technique showed a bioactive property better than that in crude oil. Therefore, simple nanotechnology techniques are a promising step in the preparation of pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Abstract
AC1497 is an effective dual inhibitor of malate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 targeting cancer metabolism. However, its poor aqueous solubility results in low bioavailability, limiting its clinical development. This study was conducted to develop an effective self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) of AC1497 to improve its oral absorption. Based on the solubility of AC1497 in various oils, surfactants, and cosurfactants, Capryol 90, Kolliphor RH40, and Transcutol HP were selected as the components of SNEDDS. After testing various weight ratios of Capryol 90 (20–30%), Kolliphor RH40 (35–70%), and Transcutol HP (10–35%), SNEDDS-F4 containing 20% Capryol 90, 45% Kolliphor RH40, and 35% Transcutol HP was identified as an optimal SNEDDS with a narrow size distribution (17.8 ± 0.36 nm) and high encapsulation efficiency (93.6 ± 2.28%). Drug release from SNEDDS-F4 was rapid, with approximately 80% of AC1497 release in 10 min while the dissolution of the drug powder was minimal (<2%). Furthermore, SNEDDS-F4 significantly improved the oral absorption of AC1497 in rats. The maximum plasma concentration and area under the plasma concentration–time curve of AC1497 were, respectively 6.82- and 3.14-fold higher for SNEDDS-F4 than for the drug powder. In conclusion, SNEDDS-F4 with Capryol 90, Kolliphor RH40, and Transcutol HP (20:45:35, w/w) effectively improves the solubility and oral absorption of AC1497.

Abstract
Objectives Gene therapy approaches have become increasingly attractive in the medical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological industries due to their applicability in the treatment of diseases with no effective conventional therapy. Non-viral delivery using cationic solid lipid nanoparticles (cSLNs) can be useful to introduce large nucleic acids to target cells. A careful selection of components and their amounts is critical to obtain a successful delivery system. In this study, solid Witepsol nanoparticles were formulated, characterized, and evaluated in vitro for gene delivery purposes. Materials and Methods Solid Witepsol nanoparticles were formulated through the microemulsion dilution technique using two grades of Witepsol and three surfactants, namely Cremephor RH40, Kolliphor HS15, and Peceol. Dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide was incorporated into the system as a cationic lipid. Twelve combinations of these ingredients were formulated. The obtained nanoparticles were then evaluated for particle size, zeta potential, DNA binding and protection ability, cytotoxicity, and transfection ability. Results Particle sizes of the prepared cationic cSLNs were between 13.43±0.06 and 68.80±0.78 nm. Their zeta potential, which is important for DNA binding efficiency, was determined at >+40 mV. Gel retardation assays revealed that the obtained cSLNs can form a compact complex with plasmid DNA (pDNA) encoding green fluorescent protein and that this complex can protect pDNA from DNase I-mediated degradation. Cytotoxicity evaluation of nanoparticles was performed on the L929 cell line. In vitro transfection data revealed that solid Witepsol nanoparticles could effectively transfect fibroblasts. Conclusion Our findings indicate that solid Witepsol nanoparticles prepared using the microemulsion dilution technique are promising non-viral delivery systems for gene therapy.

Abstract
Green nanotechnology utilizes the principles of green chemistry to formulate eco-friendly nanocarrier systems to mitigate patients and environment hazards. Raloxifene (RLX) demonstrates poor aqueous solubility (BCS class II) and low bioavailability, only 2% (extensive first-pass metabolism). The aim of this study is to enhance RLX solubility and bioavailability via development of novel solid dispersed multilayered core-sheath RLX-loaded nanofibers (RLX-NFs) without the involvement of organic solvents. A modified emulsion electrospinning technique was developed. Electrospinning of an RLX-nanoemulsion (RLX-NE) with polymer solution (poly vinyl alcohol (PVA), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), and chitosan (CS) in different volume ratios (1:9, 2:8, and 4:6) using D-optimal response surface methodology was adopted. In vitro characterization of RLX-loaded NFs was performed; scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermal analysis, drug content, release studies, and bioadhesion potential. The optimum NFs formula was evaluated for morphology using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and ex vivo drug permeation. The superiority of E2 (comprising RLX-NE and PVA (2:8)) over other NF formulae was statistically observed with respect to Q60 (56.048%), Q240 (94.612%), fiber size (594.678 nm), mucoadhesion time 24 h, flux (5.51 µg/cm2/h), and enhancement ratio (2.12). RLX pharmacokinetics parameters were evaluated in rabbits following buccal application of NF formula E2, relative to RLX oral dispersion. E2 showed significantly higher Cmax (53.18 ± 4.56 ng/mL), and relative bioavailability (≈2.29-fold).

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this proposed research was to investigate a nano-formulation developed using self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) to improve the pharmacodynamic potential of rosuvastatin by assisting its transportation through lymphatic circulation. METHODS The utilized lipids, surfactants, and co-surfactants for SNEDDS were selected on the basis of solubility studies. The SNEDDS formulation was optimized by implementing a D-optimal mixture design, wherein the effect of concentration of Capmul MCM EP (X1), Tween 20 (X2) and Transcutol P (X3) as independent variables was studied on droplet size (Y1), % cumulative drug release (Y2) and self-emulsification time (Y3) as dependent variables. The optimized formulation was evaluated via in vitro parameters and in vivo pharmacodynamic potential in Wistar rats. RESULTS The D-optimal mixture design and subsequent ANOVA application resulted in the assortment of the optimized SNEDDS formulation that exhibited a droplet size of nano range (14.91nm), in vitro drug release of >90% within 30 minutes, and self-emulsification time of 16 seconds. The in vivo pharmacodynamic study carried out using Wistar rats confirmed the better antihyperlipidemic potential of developed formulation in normalizing the lipidic level of serum in contrast to pure drug and marketed tablets. CONCLUSION This research reports the application of D-optimal mixture design for successful and systematic development of rosuvastatin-loaded SNEDDS with distinctly enhanced in vitro and in vivo performance in comparison to marketed formulation. Eventually, improved anti-hyperlipidemic efficacy was envisaged which might be attributed to increased drug solubility and absorption. Overall, this study shows the utility of SNEDDS for improving the dissolution rate and bioavailability of poor aqueous-soluble drugs. The present SNEDDS formulation could be a promising approach and alternative to conventional dosage form.

Abstract
Approximately one third of newly discovered drug molecules show insufficient water solubility and therefore low oral bio-availability. Self-nano-emulsifying drug-delivery systems (SNEDDSs) are one of the emerging strategies developed to tackle the issues associated with their oral delivery. SNEDDSs are composed of an oil phase, surfactant, and cosurfactant or cosolvent. SNEDDSs characteristics, their ability to dissolve a drug, and in vivo considerations are determinant factors in the choice of SNEDDSs excipients. A SNEDDS formulation can be optimized through phase diagram approach or statistical design of experiments. The characterization of SNEDDSs includes multiple orthogonal methods required to fully control SNEDDS manufacture, stability, and biological fate. Encapsulating a drug in SNEDDSs can lead to increased solubilization, stability in the gastro-intestinal tract, and absorption, resulting in enhanced bio-availability. The transformation of liquid SNEDDSs into solid dosage forms has been shown to increase the stability and patient compliance. Supersaturated, mucus-permeating, and targeted SNEDDSs can be developed to increase efficacy and patient compliance. Self-emulsification approach has been successful in oral drug delivery. The present review gives an insight of SNEDDSs for the oral administration of both lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds from the experimental bench to marketed products.

Abstract
During the last decades, much attention has been focused on SNEDDS approach to resolve concerns of BCS II class drugs with accentuation on upgrading the solubility and bioavailability. The present hypothesis confirms the theory that SNEDDS can reduce the impact of food on Candesartan solubilization, thereby offering the potential for improved oral delivery without co-administration with meals. The present studies describe quality-by-design-based development and characterization of Candesartan loaded SNEDDS for improving its pharmacodynamic potential. D-optimal mixture design was used for systematic optimization of SNEDDS, which showed globule size of 13.91 nm, more rapid drug release rate of >90% in 30 min and 16 s for self-emulsification. The optimized formulations were extensively evaluated, where an in vitro drug release study indicated up to 1.99- and 1.10-fold enhancement in dissolution rate from SNEDDS over pure drug and marketed tablet. In vivo pharmacodynamic investigation also showed superior antihypertensive potential of SNEDDS in normalizing serum lipid levels as compared to pure drug and marketed tablet that was executed on male Wistar rats. Overall, this paper reports successful systematic development of candesartan-loaded SNEDDS with distinctly improved biopharmaceutical performance. This research work interpreted a major role of SNEDDS for enhancing the rate of dissolution and bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs.

Solid Lipid Nanoparticles as Formulative Strategy to Increase Oral Permeation of a Molecule Active in Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Management. Pharmaceutics 2020; 12:E1132.

Abstract
The role of mycobacterial efflux pumps in drug-resistant tuberculosis has been widely reported. Recently, a new compound, named SS13, has been synthesized, and its activity as a potential efflux inhibitor has been demonstrated. In this work, the chemical-physical properties of the SS13 were investigated; furthermore, a formulative study aimed to develop a formulation suitable for oral administration was performed. SS13 shows nonintrinsic antitubercular activity, but it increases the antitubercular activity of all the tested drugs on several strains. SS13 is insoluble in different simulated gastrointestinal media; thus, its oral absorption could be limited. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) were, therefore, developed by using two different lipids, Witepsol and/or Gelucire. Nanoparticles, having a particle size (range of 200-450 nm with regards to the formulation composition) suitable for intestinal absorption, are able to load SS13 and to improve its permeation through the intestinal mucosa compared to the pure compound. The cytotoxicity is influenced by the concentration of nanoparticles administered. These promising results support the potential application of these nanocarriers for increasing the oral permeation of SS13 in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis management.

Abstract
Periodontal diseases are worldwide chronic inflammatory conditions that are associated with heavy production of reactive oxygen species followed by damage of the tooth-supporting tissues. Although the mechanical approach of scaling and root planing (SRP) for removing of plaque is considered as the key element for controlling periodontitis, the anatomical complexity of the teeth hinders accessibility to deeper points. The aim of this study was to design a micellar nanocarrier of coenzyme Q10 (Q10) to support the management of moderate periodontitis. Q10 was formulated in nanomicelles (NMQ10) and evaluated regarding encapsulation efficiency, loading efficiency, percent yield, hydrodynamic size (Dh), polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential (ζ potential). NMQ10 was incorporated to in situ gelling systems and the in vitro release of Q10 was studied. A clinical study including evaluation of periodontal parameters and biochemical assay of total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and lipid peroxide was achieved. Results revealed that Q10 was efficiently entrapped in spherical-shaped stable NMQ10 with Dh, PDI, and ζ potential of 154.0 nm, 0.108, and - 31.67 mV, respectively. The clinical study revealed that SRP only exhibited improvement of the periodontal parameters. Also, assay of T-AOC and lipid peroxide revealed that their values diminished by 21.5 and 23.8%, respectively. On the other hand, SRP combined with local application of NMQ10 resulted in a significant management of the periodontal parameters, and likewise, the assayed biomarkers proved enhanced antioxidant activity over SRP alone. In conclusion, NMQ10 can be suggested as a promising nanosystem as an approach to support the management of chronic periodontitis. Such results could be used to conduct larger clinical studies.

Abstract
Purpose: Eye drops’ formulations of poorly water-soluble drugs, offer the advantage of crossing the lipophilic cornea, but their limited aqueous solubility may lead to low ocular bioavailability limiting their therapeutic uses. Terconazole (TZ) is an antifungal drug with low aqueous solubility, restricting its application in ocular fungal infection. Thus, the aim of the work in this study is to enhance TZ solubilization, permitting better ocular permeation and higher bioavailability. To achieve this goal, different self-nanoemulsifying systems (SNESs) were prepared using different oils, surfactants and co-surfactants. Methods: Ternary phase diagrams were constructed to identify self nano-emulsification regions for each oil system examined; either Labrafil® M2125CS or Capryol™ 90. TZ saturated solubility in the different formulated systems were measured and systems showing highest potential for TZ solubilization were selected. The optimized systems were chosen based on their globule size, polydispersity index, self-emulsification characteristics. Finally, TZ release as well as the irritation effect via Hen’s Egg test-chorioallantoic membrane (HET-CAM test) of the optimized system was observed in vitro. Results: The optimized system was formulated using 20% w/w Labrafil® M2125 CS, 50% w/w Tween® 80 and 30% w/w Transcutol® HP. Oil globules showed size range of 15.13 nm and self-emulsification time of 12.80 seconds. The system released 100% of the drug within half an hour compared to 2 hours in case of TZ-suspension. Finally, HET-CAM test showed non-irritating response and normal vascularization of the chorioallantoic membrane. Conclusion: The formulated SNES could be a promising approach to enhance ocular efficacy of TZ.

Abstract
In this study, a self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) was employed to prepare novel squalene oil-based emulsion adjuvants. Deionized water, 0.01% and 0.02% (w/v) carbomer solutions of C-971P NF and C-940 grades were used to prepare emulsions containing 3%, 5% and 10% of squalene oil. Altogether 15 candidate emulsions were prepared and used as adjuvants for the delivery of a combination vaccine containing a porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) antigen and inactivated Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (J101 strain) antigen. Most of the emulsions showed droplet sizes in the submicron range and maintained zeta potential values between -40 mV to 0 mV for six months, indicating good physical stability as a vaccine adjuvant. Emulsion-based candidate adjuvants prepared with SEDDS technology stimulated IgG, IgG1 and IgG2a like a currently commercially available adjuvant, Montanide ISATM 201, and they were safe and their Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae-specific antibody titers were considered as comparable with that of Montanide ISATM 201.

Abstract
Purpose Fusidic acid (FA) and sodium fusidate (SF) have problems in their skin penetration and stability resulting in a reduction in their potency; therefore, the objective of this study was to develop FA and SF nanoemulgels to improve the antibacterial activity of the drugs. Methods FA and SF nanoemulgel formulations were prepared by the incorporation of FA and SF nanoemulsions with Carbopol hydrogel. First, the drugs were screened for their solubility in different oils and surfactants to choose the suitable oil and surfactants for the drugs, and then the drug nanoemulsion formulations were prepared by a self-nanoemulsifying technique using Tween 80, Span 20 and pine oil. The drug nanoemulgels were evaluated for their particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), rheological behaviour, drug release and anti-microbial activity. Results Based on the solubility test, pine oil was the best solubilising oil for both drugs, Tween 80 and Span 20 showed the highest solubilising ability for both the drugs among the surfactants; therefore, they were chosen as surfactant and co-surfactant, respectively. The optimum self-nanoemulsifying formulations showed a particle size for fusidic acid and Sodium fusidate of 140.58 nm and 151.86 nm respectively, and both showed a low PDI below 0.3. After incorporating both drug SNEDDS formulations with Carbopol at different concentrations, the results of the drugs particle size and PDI showed no significant difference. The zeta potential results for both drugs nanoemulgels showed a negative potential with more than 30 mV. All nanoemulgel formulations showed pseudo-plastic behaviour with the highest release pattern at 0.4% Carbopol. The antibacterial activity of both drug nanoemulgel formulations showed superiority over the market product. Conclusion Nanoemulgel is a promising delivery system for FA and SF that helps in improving the stability and antibacterial activities of the drugs.

Abstract
Antisolvent precipitation (AP) is a low-cost and less-invasive preparation alternative for organic nanoparticles compared to top-down methods such as high-pressure homogenization or milling. Here we report on particularly small organic nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by AP. It has been found for various materials that these NPs in their liquid state exhibit a significant degree of molecular order at their interface toward the dispersion medium including ubiquinones (coenzyme Q10), triglycerides (trimyristin, tripalmitin), and alkanes (tetracosane). This finding is independent of the use of a stabilizer in the formulation. While this is obviously a quite general interfacial structuring effect, the respective structural details of specific NPs systems might differ. Here, a detailed structural characterization of very small liquid coenzyme Q10 (Q10) NPs is presented as a particular example for this phenomenon. The Q10 NPs have been prepared by AP in the presence of two different stabilizers, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and pentaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12E5), respectively, and without any stabilizer. The NPs' size is initially analyzed by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS). The SDS-stabilized Q10 NPs have been studied further by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS, SANS), wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (CryoTEM). A simultaneous analysis of SAXS and contrast variation SANS studies revealed the molecular arrangement within the interface between the NPs and the dispersion medium. The Q10 NPs stabilized by SDS and C12E5, respectively, are small (down to 19.9 nm) and stable (for at least 16 months) even when no stabilizer is used. The SDS-stabilized Q10 NPs reported here, are therewith, to the best of our knowledge, the smallest organic NPs which have been reported to be prepared by AP so far. In particular, these NPs exhibit a core-shell structure consisting of an amorphous Q10 core and a surrounding shell, which is mainly composed of oriented Q10 molecules and aligned SDS molecules. This structure suggests a significant amphiphilic behavior and a rather unexpected stabilizing role of Q10 molecules.

Abstract
In recent years, nearly 40 % newer drugs compounds are hydrophobic in nature, which is a major challenge now-a-days for oral drug delivering due to low aqueous solubility. Lipid based drug delivery system is one of the favourable approach for poorly soluble compounds which can improve the drug absorption and oral bioavailability. Due to ion-pairing with appropriate surfactant and co-surfactant the macromolecular drug molecular oil droplet being found in the gut flow oral absorption which sufficiently stable towards lipase. Due to the formation of emulsified drug in micron level, it can efficiently endow the oral bioavailability. Several comprehensive papers have been published in the literature illustration diverse type of lipid based formulation with recent advancements. This article is based on an exhaustive and updated review on newer technology which out line an explicit discussion on its formulations and industrial scale up.

Novel Drug Delivery Approach via Self-Microemulsifying Drug Delivery System for Enhancing Oral Bioavailability of Asenapine Maleate: Optimization, Characterization, Cell Uptake, and In Vivo Pharmacokinetic Studies. AAPS PharmSciTech 2019; 20:44. [PMID: 30617712 DOI: 10.1208/s12249-018-1212-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2018] [Accepted: 10/04/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Asenapine maleate (AM)-loaded self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (AM-SMEDDS) was prepared to increase its oral bioavailability. AM-SMEDDS was developed using Capryol 90, Cremophor EL, and Transcutol HP as oil, surfactant, and cosurfactant, respectively, by spontaneous emulsification method. Pseudoternary diagram showed maximum region at 3:1 ratio of Cremophor EL/Transcutol HP. The AM-SMEDDS showed globule size and zeta potential of 21.1 ± 1.2 nm and - 19.3 ± 1.8 mV, respectively. Globules were found to be of spherical shape and uniformly distributed by transmission electron microscopy. In vitro drug release study showed 99.2 ± 3.3% of drug release at the end of 8 h in phosphate buffer pH 6.8. Ex vivo drug release study showed only 15% of drug diffusion through stomach and ~ 85% drug was diffused through intestinal membrane. Confocal and flow cytometry study showed that cellular uptake of coumarin-6 loaded SMEDDS was significantly enhanced by Caco-2 cells as that of coumarin-6 solution. The relative bioavailability of AM-SMEDDS was found to be 23.53 times greater than AM suspension. Intestinal lymphatic transport study using Cycloheximide (CHX) showed that the AUCtotal of AM-SMEDDS reduced about 35.67% compared with that without the treatment of CHX indicating involvement of lymphatic system in intestinal absorption of AM-loaded SMEDDS. These findings demonstrated the potential of SMEDDS for oral bioavailability improvement of AM via lymphatic uptake. Graphical Abstract.

Abstract
We prepared mineral oil-based emulsion adjuvants by employing simple self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS). Mineral oil emulsions (3%, 5%, and 7%) were prepared using deionized water and C-971P NF and C-940 grade carbomer solutions with concentrations 0.01% (w/v) and 0.02% (w/v). In total, 15 emulsions were prepared and mixed with a solution containing inactivated Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (J101 strain) antigen and porcine circovirus type 2 antigen to prepare vaccines. Droplet sizes in the submicron range and zeta potential values between - 40 and 0 mV were maintained by most emulsion adjuvants for a period of 6 months. Emulsion adjuvants were regarded safe, and their M. hyopneumoniae-specific IgG, IgG1, and IgG2a titers were either better or comparable to those of aluminum gel.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a novel buccal bi-layered chronopatch capable of eliciting pulsatile release pattern of drugs treating diseases with circadian rhythm related manifestation. Zaleplon (ZLP) was used as a model drug intended to induce sleep and to treat middle of night insomnia. The chronopatch was prepared adopting double casting technique. The first layer was composed of a controlled release patch containing ZLP-Precirol melt granules intended to release ZLP in a sustained manner to maintain sleep and to prevent early morning awakening. The second layer was composed of a fast release lyophilized buccal disc containing ZLP loaded SNEDDS (Z-SNEDDS) intended for rapid sleep induction. Pharmacokinetic parameters of ZLP from the chronopatch were compared to those of the immediate release capsule, Siesta®, as reference in Mongrel dogs using a randomized crossover design. The appearance of two peaks having two Cmax and Tmax proved the pulsatile release pattern. The increase in relative bioavailability of ZLP from the chronopatch was 2.63 folds. The results revealed the ability of the developed ZLP loaded bi-layered chronopatch to be a candidate for overcoming early morning awakening without middle of night dose administration.

Abstract
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a well-known antioxidant molecule which is used in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, but due to poor solubility it suffers with the drawback of low oral bioavailability. The aim of present study was to prepare and characterize CoQ10 loaded nanoemulsion to improve the oral bioavailability. Prepared formulation was studied for droplet size, polydispersity index (PDI), percentage transmittance, refractive index, viscosity, zeta potential, surface morphology by transmission electron microscopy, and in vitro release study. Optimized formulation (A10) showed spherical droplets with mean diameter of 60.00 ± 15 nm, PDI of 0.121 ± 0.053, and zeta potential values of -24.40 ± 0.16 mV. Prepared nanoemulsion exhibited good transmittance (100.50% ± 0.86%), refractive index (1.41 ± 0.02), and viscosity (30.54 ± 2.86 cP). Various behavioral tests like forced swimming test, locomotor activity test, catalepsy, muscle coordination test, and akinesia test performed in haloperidol challenged rats and treated with CoQ10 nanoemulsion significantly improved the behavioral activities in comparison to CoQ10 suspension by reducing nigrostriatal dopamine depletion and thereby helping in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Biochemical estimation data showed that CoQ10 nanoemulsion was helpful in elevating the decreased content of glutathione and reducing the increased content of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. Improved CoQ10 release was obtained with nanoemulsions. Pharmacokinetic study results revealed that nanoemulsion exhibited 1.81 times enhancement in bioavailability in comparison to CoQ10 suspension.

Abstract
Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is a class IV drug according to the Biopharmaceutical Classification System. This study aimed the development of self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) for HCTZ as an approach to overcome the biopharmaceutical limitations. Pre-formulation screening and ternary phase diagrams were carried out to select the oil phase, the surfactant, and the co-surfactant as the amount of each constituent. The optimized formulations, with reduced amount of surfactant, and composed of medium chain triglycerides, Cremophor EL and Transcutol P did not affect the pH or show drug incompatibilities. The SNEDDS were stabilized by the nanoscale globules and high negative zeta potential. All the physicochemical characterization assays were performed in biorelevant media to better predict the in vivo performance. The enhanced dissolution rate of the SNEDDS reflected in the in vivo diuretic activity, presenting a natriuresis, kaliuresis, and chloriuresis at early stages and an increased volume of total urine compared with HCTZ alone. The designed SNEDDS produced an improvement in the pharmacodynamics due to high dissolution and probable inhibition of intestinal efflux protein by Cremophor EL. The use of SNEDDS demonstrated to be an efficient approach to modulate the absorption of HCTZ and drug therapeutics.

Abstract
Bioenhancers can increase the bioavailability of metabolism susceptible drugs. The present study was designed to understand the impact of bioenhancer on permeability and bioavailability of a biopharmaceutical drug disposition classification system (BDDCS) class II drug raloxifene (RLX). RLX undergoes extensive first pass metabolism by UGT enzymes in gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and has an oral bioavailability of about 2%. Self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) of RLX was developed using a designed approach and this formulation was loaded with reported bioenhancers: quercetin and piperine. These formulations were tested for improvement in permeability and bioavailability of the RLX. The apparent permeability using everted gut sac (P app) for SEDDS (5.26 ± 1.10 × 10-8 cm/s) was found to be similar to that of SEDDS with bioenhancers (5.11 ± 1.05 × 10-8 cm/s). In oral bioavailability study in rat, SEDDS demonstrated a 4-fold and 2.5-fold higher AUC0-∞ than RLX suspension (control) and marketed product, respectively. No additional improvement in permeability and bioavailability was offered by inclusion of piperine and quercetin (bioenhancers) in the SEDDS.
