Abstract
Bone, a fundamental constituent of the human body, is a vital scaffold for support, protection, and locomotion, underscoring its pivotal role in maintaining skeletal integrity and overall functionality. However, factors such as trauma, disease, or aging can compromise bone structure, necessitating effective strategies for regeneration. Traditional approaches often lack biomimetic environments conducive to efficient tissue repair. Nanofibrous microspheres (NFMS) present a promising biomimetic platform for bone regeneration by mimicking the native extracellular matrix architecture. Through optimized fabrication techniques and the incorporation of active biomolecular components, NFMS can precisely replicate the nanostructure and biochemical cues essential for osteogenesis promotion. Furthermore, NFMS exhibit versatile properties, including tunable morphology, mechanical strength, and controlled release kinetics, augmenting their suitability for tailored bone tissue engineering applications. NFMS enhance cell recruitment, attachment, and proliferation, while promoting osteogenic differentiation and mineralization, thereby accelerating bone healing. This review highlights the pivotal role of NFMS in bone tissue engineering, elucidating their design principles and key attributes. By examining recent preclinical applications, we assess their current clinical status and discuss critical considerations for potential clinical translation. This review offers crucial insights for researchers at the intersection of biomaterials and tissue engineering, highlighting developments in this expanding field.

Simões A, Veiga F, Vitorino C. Question-based review for pharmaceutical development: An enhanced quality approach. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2024; 195:114174. [PMID: 38160986 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2023.114174] [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: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Over the last years, the pharmaceutical industry has faced real challenges regarding quality assurance. In this context, the establishment of more holistic approaches to the pharmaceutical development has been encouraged. The emergence of the Quality by Design (QbD) paradigm as systematic, scientific and risk-based methodology introduced a new concept of pharmaceutical quality. In essence, QbD can be interpreted as a strategy to maximize time and cost savings. An in-depth understanding of the formulation and manufacturing process is demanded to optimize the safety, efficacy and quality of a drug product at all stages of development. This innovative approach streamlines the pharmaceutical Research and Development (R&D) process, provides greater manufacturing flexibility and reduces regulatory burden. To assist in QbD implementation, International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) organized and launched QbD principles in their guidance for industry, identifying key concepts and tools to design and develop a high-quality drug product. Despite the undeniable advantages of the QbD approach, and the widespread information on QbD regulatory expectations, its full implementation in the pharmaceutical field is still limited. The present review aims to establish a crosswise overview on the current application status of QbD within the framework of the ICH guidelines (ICH Q8(R2) - Q14 and ICH Q2(R2)). Moreover, it outlines the way information gathered from the QbD methodology is being harmonized in Marketing Authorization Applications (MAAs) for European market approval. This work also highlights the challenges that hinder the deployment of the QbD strategy as a standard practice.

Abstract
Enoxaparin sodium is an anticoagulant medication that is used as a blood thinning agent. It is mostly used for the treatment and prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). It is also used in certain surgeries and during pregnancy. For the treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and heart attacks, it may be used. Enoxaparin sodium was validated by the RP-HPLC method. A simple RP-HPLC method was developed in a single HPLC run in a dry powder injection formulation. All injections of HPLC sample were 20 μL volume. The chromatographic separation was completed in the isocratic mode. The used column was USP-L8 (250 mm × 4.6 mm) of BDS type of 10 μm meters in the same mobile phase throughout the analysis by using methanol and ultrapure water with a ratio of 7:93, respectively. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min. The mobile phase was filtered through 0.45 μm filter paper, and isocratic elution was performed. The refractive index (RI) detector was used to analyze this sample. The specific peak of enoxaparin sodium was observed at 5:56 min. The calculated detection limit (LOD) was 0.351 ppm, and the calculated quantitation limit was 1.063 ppm. In repeatability of precision, the average calculated assay (%) was 100.85%, and the calculated RSD (%) was 0.01. In the accuracy test, the RSD (%) was 0.50, and the mean recovery (%) was 100.35. The system's suitability was within the limit. This newly developed method is proposed according to ICH guidelines, and rules and can be applied effectively for the exact estimation of enoxaparin sodium in injection formulation. This newly developed methodology is affordable in cost as long as less time is taken and the consumption of samples is in smaller quantities for every investigation. In medicinal chemistry, the USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and BP (British Pharmacopeia) are directly involved in production as well as in quality testing.

Abstract
Garcinol (GAR) is a polyisoprenylated benzophenone obtained from Garcinia indica used as anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory in traditional medicine and due to these activities, it possesses anticancer properties. It is considered to be a next generation epigenetic drug. A green solvent based analytical method which is efficient, sophisticated, and highly enriched has been developed for the quantitative analysis of GAR in biological samples (plasma, liver, kidney and spleen) with the use of deep eutectic solvent (DES) for its extraction. A series of 23 DESs were synthesized and out of which, Thymol (Th)-Terpeniol (T), 2:1 molar ratio with a more hydrophobic environment and high interaction efficiency between GAR and DES was identified for the better extraction from mice plasma and tissue samples. The Design of Experiment approaches like placket-burmann design and central composite design were used to optimize the method conditions. The method validation characteristics, such as limit of detection (0.193-0.237 ng/mL), limit of quantification (0.644-0.697 ng/mL), lower limit of quantification (0.5 ng/mL), broad range of linearity with R2 (0.9994-0.9997) with a percent recovery not less than 87% was observed, which are well within the acceptance criteria for a bioanalytical method. The enrichment factor is upto 53-60 folds, with high extraction efficiency (89-97%). The measurement uncertainty was estimated with an expanded uncertainty ranged between 10.9%-19.0%. The method developed and validated was effectively applied to examine the pharmacokinetic and biodistribution patterns for GAR in mice.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a crucial technology in recent years has resulted in new and creative applications of nanomedicine. Polymeric nanoparticles have increasing demands in pharmaceutical applications and require high reproducibility, homogeneity, and control over their properties. Work explores the use of cashew phthalate gum (PCG) as a particle-forming polymer. PCG exhibited a pH-sensitive behavior due to the of acid groups on its chains, and control drug release. We report the development of nanoparticles carrying benznidazole. Formulations were characterized by DLS, encapsulation efficiency, drug loading, FTIR, pH-responsive behavior, release, and in vitro kinetics. Interaction between polymer and drug was an evaluated by molecular dynamics. Morphology was observed by SEM, and in vitro cytotoxicity by MTT assay. Trypanocidal effect for epimastigote and trypomastigote forms was also evaluated. NPs responded to the slightly basic pH, triggering the release of BNZ. In acidic medium, they presented small size, spherical shape, and good stability. It was indicated NP with enhanced biological activity, reduced cytotoxicity, high anti T. cruzi performance, and pH-sensitive release. This work investigated properties related to the development and enhancement of nanoparticles. PCG has specific physicochemical properties that make it a promising alternative to drug delivery, however, there are still challenges to be overcome.

Abstract
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for colorectal cancer (CRC) owing to its potent anticancer effects. However, severe systemic side effects and poor drug accumulation in the CRC tissues limit its efficacy. This study aimed to develop 5-FU crystal-incorporated, pH-responsive, and release-modulating poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide)/Eudragit FS hybrid microparticles (5FU-EPMPs) for the local CRC-targeted chemotherapy. Approximately 150 μm 5FU-EPMPs were fabricated via the S/O/W emulsion solvent evaporation method, with 7.93 ± 0.24% and 87.23 ± 2.64% 5-FU loading and encapsulation efficiencies, respectively. Drug release profiles in a simulated pH environment of the gastrointestinal tract revealed that premature 5-FU release in the stomach and small intestine was prevented, thereby minimizing systemic 5-FU absorption. After reaching the colon, 5-FU was continuously released for >15 h, allowing long-term exposure of CRC tissues to sufficient 5-FU concentrations. Furthermore, in a CRC mouse model, the 5FU-EPMPs showed potent inhibition of tumor growth without signs of systemic toxicity. Thus, the 5FU-EPMPs represent a promising drug delivery system for local CRC-targeted chemotherapy.

Abstract
In this study, an emulsion solvent evaporation method was used to produce Eudragit RL (ERL) nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with simvastatin (SIM) for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Accordingly, the effects of different formulation variables on the properties of NPs were evaluated using the Box-Behnken design. The optimized NPs were then coated by Eudragit FS30D (EFS30D). Drug release was studied in different physiological environments. Colitis was induced by 3% of acetic acid in rats, which received NPs of SIM (10 mg/kg/day), mesalazine (150 mg/kg/day), blank NPs and normal saline orally for 5 days. Macroscopic histopathological evaluation and biochemical analysis, including myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) level in the colon tissues, were carried out in this study. The optimized SIM-ERL NPs showed the particle size of 182.48 ± 4.57 nm, the polydispersity index of 0.29 ± 0.12, the zeta potential of 26.45 ± 4.57 mV, drug loading % of 34.64 ± 0.48, the encapsulation efficiency % of 98.68 ± 0.69, and the release efficiency % of 35.78 ± 1.37. Coating the optimized NPs with EFS30D caused an increase in particle size and a decrease in the zeta potential of NPs. The optimized SIM-EFS30D/RL NPs improved the macroscopic and histopathological scores. Also, MPO activity and MDA level were reduced significantly by NPs, as compared to the control group. Therefore, this drug delivery system can be an alternative to the previous treatments of UC.

Abstract
Enoxaparin is an effective biological molecule for prevention and treatment of coagulation disorders. However, it is poorly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we developed an Eudragit® L100 coated chitosan core shell nanoparticles for enoxaparin oral delivery (Eud/CS/Enox NPs) through a completely eco-friendly method without employing any high-energy homogenizer technique and any organic solvents. Spherical nanocarriers were successfully prepared with particle size lower than 300 nm, polydispersity index about 0.12 and zeta potential higher than +25 mV, entrapment efficiency greater than 95% and the in vitro release behavior confirms the good colloidal stability and the successful Eudragit® L100 coating process demonstrated by negligible cumulative enoxaparin release (<10%) when the particles are submitted to simulated gastric fluid conditions. Finally, we demonstrated that the core-shell structure of the particle influenced the drug release mechanism of the formulations, indicating the presence of the Eudragit® L100 on the surface of the particles. These results suggested that enteric-coating approach and drug delivery nanotechnology can be successfully explored as potential tools for oral delivery of enoxaparin.

Abstract
Purpose: Enoxaparin has been widely used as a choice drug for treatment and prevention of different coagulation disorders. Orally administered enoxaparin encounters with gastrointestinal barrier because of its high water solubility, high molecular weight and significant negative charge. Since, the nano-liposomes has gained great interest for oral drug delivery, we decided to introduce the best protocol for preparing enoxaparin nano-liposomes through in vitro characterization. Methods: Nano-liposomes were prepared by ethanol injection, thin film hydration, and double emulsion/solvent evaporation methods. Size distribution, zeta potential, loading efficiencies, and in vitro drug release of nano-liposomes were also studied. Results: The mean vesicle size was obtained under 100 nm, and the zeta potential was highly negative through all preparation methods. Nano-liposomes prepared by double emulsion/ solvent evaporation (DE) technique could entrap more of this hydrophilic drug (43 ± 7.1 %), but through thin layer hydration (TL) and ethanol injection (EI) only 28.4± 3.2% and 17.3 ± 2.5% of drug could be loaded into synthesized carriers. Drug release from these carriers was also obtained 42.17±1.72%, 29.43±0.34% and 32.27±0.14%, in 24 hours for EI, TL, and DE methods, respectively. Conclusion: Here, we can introduce double emulsion/solvent evaporation method as an acceptable method for enoxaparin loading, although some toxicity and in-vivo tests are also necessary to fully understand the potential of this formulation.

Abstract
Polycaprolactone (PCL)/Polyethylene-glycol (PEG) capsules are prepared by injection molding with the aim of producing Colon-specific Drug Delivery Systems (CDDS). PCL, being a gastroresistant polymer, is suitable for this kind of delivery; however, the release from PCL devices is too slow. For this reason, in this paper, different percentages of PEG (10, 20 and 30 w/w %) have been added to obtain blends able to modulate the release from PCL-based capsules. The drug release rate from PCL/PEG capsules increases with the PEG percentage; using PCL/PEG 70/30 w/w capsules, the drug release is suitable for CDDS. The experimental data have been modelled, accounting for three steps: the penetration of the release medium into the capsule, the drug dissolution in the release medium, and the drug migration from the capsule to the medium. The model accurately describes the data, showing a mass transfer coefficient strongly dependent on the PEG percentage.

Abstract
This work presents the adaptation of the Quality by Design (QbD) approach for application in the quality assurance of a biomedical measuring system under development. First attempts in applying QbD to biomedical technologies indicated a significantly higher number of parameters than its traditional application in the pharmaceutical industry. These preliminary studies did not fulfill the QbD stage of Design Space (DS) configuration for biomedical devices, an essential step to identifying the proper operating ranges of parameters and guaranteeing quality features. Therefore, it persisted the challenge of configuring DS for health devices, overcoming dependences in the interaction of multiple process parameters and critical attributes. The present work develops a hybrid QbD-Fuzzy approach for multiparametric DS configuration. The proposed method was applied in the development phase of a low-cost and high-sensitive magnetic measuring system for locating metallic foreign bodies in patients, employing sensors based on the Giant Magnetoimpedance effect. The results provided the acceptable operating ranges of the multiple process parameters to ensure the biomedical equipment's suitability. The proposed strategy contributes to the QbD implementation in biomedical technologies and, therefore, promotes the reliability of diagnostic and therapeutic results in the clinical environment.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed for a detailed understanding of the impact of different process parameters involved during celecoxib-loaded microsphere preparation based on propylene carbonate emulsion-precursors. METHODS Microspheres were prepared by a modified emulsification-solvent extraction method. Performed investigations included polymer solubility and viscosity, microsphere size, morphology and stability, propylene carbonate content as well as celecoxib solid state, content and release. RESULTS Rough-walled round microspheres with sizes between 21 µm and 122 µm and an internal sponge-like structure filled with residual propylene carbonate (content between 1.9 ± 0.1% and 6.7 ± 0.5% w/w) were obtained. Encapsulation efficiencies varied between 28.3 ± 0.1% and 66.8 ± 1.0%. The release rates were affected by the polymer concentration, the emulsion phase ratio and the residual propylene carbonate content (t50% varied between 2.2 hours and 23.4 hours). CONCLUSIONS This study identified the most relevant process parameters for this new preparation method for the model drug celecoxib.

Development of a Curcumin-Loaded Polymeric Microparticulate Oral Drug Delivery System for Colon Targeting by Quality-by-Design Approach. Pharmaceutics 2020; 12:pharmaceutics12111027.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to apply the quality-by-design (QbD) approach for the development of colon-targeted curcumin-loaded polymeric microparticles (Col-CUR-MPs). The proportion of the enterosoluble polymer (Eudragit® FS) in the polymeric matrix, curcumin concentration, and the concentration of the polymer mixture (Eudragit® FS-polycaprolactone) were identified as potential risk factors for the quality of the final product following risk assessment. The influence of these variables on the critical quality attributes (CQAs) of Col-CUR-MPs was investigated. Therefore, a central composite face experimental design was used in order to determine the functional relationships between variables and product CQAs. The obtained regression model and contour plots were used to establish the design space. Finally, the model was validated by preparing two microparticulate formulations, one corresponding to the robust setpoint from within the design space and one outside the established design space, and calculating the percentage bias between the experimental and predicted values. The in vivo study, which was conducted on a fluorescein-loaded formulation that corresponded to the robust setpoint determined by QbD and that contained a mixture of polycaprolactone and Eudragit® FS (60:40, w/w), confirmed the colon-targeting qualities of this formulation.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the development of an intra-articular nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug gelatin microsphere formulation based on quality risk management and quality by design approaches. Specifically, after setting the quality target product profile and the critical quality attributes, risk assessment was performed by constructing Ishikawa fishbone diagrams based on preliminary hazard analysis. A Plackett-Burman screening experimental design was applied in order to identify the factors (previously classified by risk assessment analysis as having high risk of failure) having a statistically significant impact on the formation of gelatin microspheres. Particle size, polydispersity index, and drug loading were used as responses, while diclofenac sodium was selected as a model drug. All drug-loaded gelatin microspheres were prepared by emulsion-crosslinking process. Screening results showed that gelatin type, surfactant type and quantity, oil phase type, emulsification speed, and glutaraldehyde's concentration had a statistically significant impact on microsphere's final and intermediate critical quality attributes. A design space was then constructed based on central composite design overlaying contour plots, while verification experiments for the optimum suggested formulation (derived from a set control strategy) showed good agreement between the predicted and the experimentally observed results. In addition, the physicochemical characterization of the optimum formulation showed the formation of significant molecular interactions between the drug and the gelatin matrix, leading to the complete amorphization of diclofenac within the microsphere structure, while dissolution release experiments showed a biphasic release profile which extended the drug's release for up to 30 days, governed by a Fickian diffusion release mechanism.

Abstract
In the present study, the preparation of pharmaceutical mini-tablets was attempted in the framework of Quality by Design (QbD) context, by comparing traditionally used multi-linear regression (MLR), with artificially-intelligence based regression techniques (such as standard artificial neural networks (ANNs), particle swarm optimization (PSO) ANNs and genetic programming (GP)) during Design of Experiment (DoE) implementation. Specifically, the effect of diluent type and particle size fraction for three commonly used direct compression diluents (lactose, pregelatinized starch and dibasic calcium phosphate dihydrate, DCPD) blended with either hydrophilic or hydrophobic flowing aids was evaluated in terms of: a) powder blend properties (such as bulk (Y1) and tapped (Y2) density, Carr's compressibility index (Y3, CCI), Kawakita's compaction fitting parameters a (Y4) and 1/b (Y5)), and b) mini-tablet's properties (such as relative density (Y6), average weight (Y7) and weight variation (Y8)). Results showed better flowing properties for pregelatinized starch and improved packing properties for lactose and DPCD. MLR analysis showed high goodness of fit for the Y1, Y2, Y4, Y6 and Y8 with RMSE values of Y1 = 0.028, Y2 = 0.032, Y4 = 0.019, Y6 = 0.015 and Y8 = 0.130; while for rest responses, high correlation was observed from both standard ANNs and GP. PSO-ANNs fitting was the only regression technique that was able to adequately fit all responses simultaneously (RMSE values of Y1 = 0.026, Y2 = 0.022, Y3 = 0.025, Y4 = 0.010, Y5 = 0.063, Y6 = 0.013, Y7 = 0.064 and Y8 = 0.104).

Abstract
This research work presents the use of the Quality by Design (QbD) concept for optimization of the spherical agglomeration crystallization method in the case of the active agent, ambroxol hydrochloride (AMB HCl). AMB HCl spherical crystals were formulated by the spherical agglomeration method, which was applied as an antisolvent technique. Spherical crystals have good flowing properties, which makes the direct compression tableting method applicable. This means that the amount of additives used can be reduced and smaller tablets can be formed. For the risk assessment, LeanQbD Software was used. According to its results, four independent variables (mixing type and time, dT (temperature difference between solvent and antisolvent), and composition (solvent/antisolvent volume ratio)) and three dependent variables (mean particle size, aspect ratio, and roundness) were selected. Based on these, a 2–3 mixed-level factorial design was constructed, crystallization was accomplished, and the results were evaluated using Statistica for Windows 13 program. Product assay was performed and it was revealed that improvements in the mean particle size (from ~13 to ~200 µm), roundness (from ~2.4 to ~1.5), aspect ratio (from ~1.7 to ~1.4), and flow properties were observed while polymorphic transitions were avoided.

Role of clove oil in solvent exchange-induced doxycycline hyclate-loaded Eudragit RS in situ forming gel. Asian J Pharm Sci 2017; 13:131-142.

Abstract
Role of clove oil (CO) in doxycycline hyclate (DH)-loaded Eudragit RS (ERS) in situ forming gel (ISG) was investigated. CO could solubilize ERS and increase the viscosity of ISG and also minimize DH burst release with sustainable DH release. ISGs comprising CO could expel through the 27-gauge needle and transform into matrix depot in simulated crevicular fluid. Antimicrobial activities against all test bacterias were increased when increasing CO and N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) ratio. DH-loaded ERS ISG comprising CO could be used as a local drug delivery system for periodontitis treatment.
Solvent exchange induced in situ forming gel (ISG) is the promising drug delivery system for periodontitis treatment owing to the prospect of maintaining an effective high drug level in the gingival crevicular fluid. In the present study, the influence of clove oil (CO) on the characteristics of doxycycline hyclate (DH)-loaded ISG comprising Eudragit RS (ERS) was investigated including viscosity/rheology, syringeability, in vitro gel formation/drug release, matrix formation/solvent diffusion and antimicrobial activities. CO could dissolve ERS and increase the viscosity of ISG and its hydrophobicity could also retard the diffusion of solvent and hinder the drug diffusion; thus, the minimization of burst effect and sustained drug release were achieved effectively. All the prepared ISGs comprising CO could expel through the 27-gauge needle for administration by injection and transform into matrix depot after exposure to the simulated gingival crevicular fluid. The antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis were increased when the ratio of CO and N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) was decreased from 1:1 to 1:10 owing to higher diffusion of DH except that for C. albicans was increased as CO amount was higher. Therefore, CO could minimize the burst while prolonging the drug release of DH-loaded ERS ISG for use as a local drug delivery system for periodontitis treatment.
