Abstract
This study evaluated the stability of a novel nutraceutical formulation composed of the probiotic Limosilactobacillus fermentum 296, quercetin (QUE), and resveratrol (RES) (LFQR) under different storage conditions. The effects of different relative humidities (RH; 11, 22, and 33%) and storage temperatures (refrigeration temperature -4 °C and room temperature -25 °C) on the stability of LFQR were evaluated through the determination of thermal stability, viable cell counts, bacterial physiological status, antioxidant capacity, and contents of QUE and RES during long-term storage. RH did not affect endothermic reactions and mass reduction in LFQR. After a 15-day-humidification period, L. fermentum 296 had higher viable cell counts in LFQR under refrigeration temperature storage when compared to room temperature storage regardless of the RH. The physiological status of L. fermentum 296 in LFQR was overall similar during 90 days of storage (11% RH) under refrigeration and room temperature. L. fermentum 296 had the highest viable cell counts (> 6 log CFU/g) in LFQR up to day 90 of refrigeration storage (11% RH). LFQR kept high contents of QUE and RES and maintained antioxidant capacity during 90 days of storage under refrigeration and room temperature. The results showed that the higher stability and functionality of LFQR during long-term storage should be guaranteed under 11% RH and refrigeration temperature.

[PMID: 37896253 PMCID: PMC10610461 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15102493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Crystalline solid dispersions (CSDs) represent a thermodynamically stable system capable of effectively reducing the crystallite size of drugs, thereby enhancing their solubility and bioavailability. This study uses flavonoid drugs with the same core structures but varying numbers of hydroxyl groups as model drugs and poloxamer 188 as a carrier to explore the intrinsic relationships between drug-polymer interactions, crystallite size, and in vitro dissolution behavior in CSDs. Initially, we investigate the interactions between flavonoid drugs and P188 by calculating Hansen solubility parameters, determination of Flory-Huggins interaction parameters, and other methods. Subsequently, we explore the crystallization kinetics of flavonoid drugs and P188 in CSD systems using polarized optical microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. We monitor the domain size and crystallite size of flavonoids in CSDs through powder X-ray diffraction and a laser-particle-size analyzer. Finally, we validate the relationship between crystallite size and in vitro dissolution behavior through powder dissolution. The results demonstrate that, as the number of hydroxyl groups increases, the interactions between drugs and polymers become stronger, making drug crystallization in the CSD system less likely. Consequently, reductions in crystalline domain size and crystallite size become more pronounced, leading to a more significant enhancement in drug dissolution.

Abstract
Quercetin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, has been credited with a wide spectrum of therapeutic properties. However, the oral use of quercetin is limited due to its poor water solubility, low bioavailability, rapid metabolism, and rapid plasma clearance. Quercetin has been studied extensively when used with various nanodelivery systems for enhancing quercetin bioavailability. To enhance its oral bioavailability and efficacy, various quercetin-loaded nanosystems such as nanosuspensions, polymer nanoparticles, metal nanoparticles, emulsions, liposomes or phytosomes, micelles, solid lipid nanoparticles, and other lipid-based nanoparticles have been investigated in in-vitro cells, in-vivo animal models, and humans. Among the aforementioned nanosystems, quercetin phytosomes are attracting more interest and are available on the market. The present review covers insights into the possibilities of harnessing quercetin for several therapeutic applications and a special focus on anticancer applications and the clinical benefits of nanoquercetin formulations.
