Abstract
Mint essential oil (MEO) is an outstanding antibacterial and antioxidant agent, that can be considered as a promising natural preservative, flavor, insecticide, coolant, and herbal medicine. However, the low solubility and volatility of MEO limits its extensive applications. In order to utilize MEO in different products, it is essential to develop treatments that can overcome these limitations. More recently, encapsulation technology has been developed as a promising method to overcome the shortcomings of MEO. In which, sensitive compounds such as essential oils (EOs) are entrapped in a carrier to produce micro or nanoparticles with increased stability against environmental conditions. Additionally, encapsulation of EOs makes transportation and handling easier, reduces their volatility, controls their release and consequently improves the efficiency of these bioactive compounds and extends their industrial applications. Several encapsulation techniques, such as emulsification, coacervation, ionic gelation, inclusion complexation, spray drying, electrospinning, melt dispersion, melt homogenization, and so on, have been emerged to improve the stability of MEO. These encapsulated MEOs can be also used in a variety of food, bioagricultural, pharmaceutical, and health care products with excellent performance. Therefore, this review aims to summarize the physicochemical and functional properties of MEO, recent advances in encapsulation techniques for MEO, and the application of micro/nanocapsulated MEO in different products.

Alginate-based nanocarriers for the delivery and controlled-release of bioactive compounds. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 307:102744. [PMID: 35878506 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2022.102744] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2022] [Revised: 07/16/2022] [Accepted: 07/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Alginate-based nanocarriers are propitious vehicles used for the delivery of bioactive compounds (bioactives). In this area, calcium alginate and sodium alginate are the most promising wall materials because they are nontoxic, comparatively cheap, simple in production, biocompatible and biodegradable. In this review, we have highlighted different alginate-based nanocarriers such as nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanoemulsions, nanocomplexes, and nanohydrogels; also entrapment of different bioactives within alginate nanocarriers and their bioavailability in the gastric environment has been comprehensively discussed. Being biopolymers, alginates can be exploited as emulsifiers/ encapsulants for entrapment and delivery of different bioactives such as vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, peptides, essential oils, bioactive oils, polyphenols and carotenoids. Furthermore, the use of alginate-based nanocarriers in combination with other polysaccharides/ emulsifiers was recognized as the most effective and favorable approach for the protection, delivery and sustained release of bioactives.

Abstract
Aim: The study aims to enhance the permeability of pyridostigmine bromide by developing a self-double emulsifying drug delivery system (SDEDDS) and enteric-coated spheroids.
Background: Pyridostigmine bromide is a reversible anticholinesterase used to treat Myasthenia Gravis, reverse neuromuscular blockade, and prevent nerve gas (i.e., soman) poisoning. It is readily soluble in water, but its poor and irregular intestinal absorption is responsible for its poor oral bioavailability (7.6±2.4%). Many approaches have been made to increase the bioavailability of this drug, but no significant improvement has been achieved to date. Presently pyridostigmine tablets are given orally, and a treatment schedule of multiple doses every day (3–6 times per day) is recommended for adult patients, while sustained-release pyridostigmine (Timespan®) tablets can be taken once or twice daily. An increase in permeability of pyridostigmine bromide may also result in reduced dosage frequency.
Objective: In the present work, it is proposed to develop a self-double emulsifying drug delivery system (SDEDDS) of pyridostigmine bromide which will increase its intestinal permeability and hence its oral bioavailability.
Method: For the preparation of PB-SDEDDS, the primary water in oil emulsion was mixed with the optimized concentration of Tween 80 using a magnetic stirrer. PB-SDEDDS were converted into spheroids and were then characterized.
Result: The pseudo ternary phase diagram was constructed, showing a double emulsion region. The viscosity of PB-SDEDDS at the different shear rates was found to be 125 mPas. The optimized PB-SDEDDS formulation formed a bright white emulsion within 2 minutes, having droplet size around 20-25 µm. In vitro uptake studies of PB-SDEDDS on Caco2 cells demonstrated the increase in Papp value from (4.38±0.27) ×10-4 cm/s to (9.488±0.182) ×10-4 cm/s (2.166 folds) that was attributed to the PB-SDEDDS formulation. In vitro cytotoxicity studies on Caco2 cells revealed that the blank SDEDDS showed almost no toxicity after incubation for 2 hours at various dilutions tested.
Among all formulations, F3 was optimized for the concentration of adsorbent and binder at a concentration of 10% each. SEM showed that the spheroids were spherical, and 73.92% of spheroids were in between 0.595-0.841 mm of size. The optimized formulation had 70.29% spheroids retained on sieve no. 30. The angle of repose showed good flow properties with 25.20 and stability with friability of 0.52 %. The disintegration time of the developed formulation was 3.30 minutes, and drug content was found to be 97.83%. The release studies showed that PB-SDEDDS improved the release significantly as compared to the market formulation.
Conclusion: The solid PB-SDEDDS resulted in favorable physical properties and did not affect its drug content and in vitro drug release profile. The self-double emulsifying drug delivery system of pyridostigmine bromide can be explored as a suitable alternative to its solid oral dosage form.

Abstract
This work has developed and evaluated a microemulsion-based drilling fluid formulation with characteristics to be applied in oil wells. The microemulsion was formulated with a solution of water/glycerol, pine oil, and Tween 80, a nonionic and biodegradable surfactant. The physical and chemical properties of the drilling fluid obtained in this work were investigated through rheology and filtration analysis, solids content, aging, lubricity, toxicity, and thermal degradation. A non-toxic microemulsion-based drilling fluid oil-in-water (O/W) with high lubricity (0.07638) and thermal stability was obtained with suitable viscosity, gel strength and low fluid loss (4.0 mL), low solids content (6%), stability in a wide range of salinity conditions, and the possibility of high water content (above 85% in mass fraction). The fluid presented a pseudoplastic behavior, and statistically significant Herschel–Bulkley parameters were obtained.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of acetic (AA) or propionic (PA) acid as a cosurfactant on the microemulsion (ME) characteristics of Thymus vulgaris essential oil (TVO). The results showed that addition of propylene glycol to TVO/AA or PA:T80/water MEs gave dilutable systems with particles ~59 nm in diameter. Plain TVO showed the highest antimicrobial activity against E. coli, S. aureus, and S. typhi in in vitro antimicrobial tests, followed closely by AA/PA-MEs. The antimicrobial activity of AA/PA-MEs used as a washing solution on cucumber and strawberry samples was remarkably greater than those of free TVO, TVO nanoemulsions, and chlorhexidine solutions against E. coli and S. aureus. The sensory properties of the samples were not changed by the use of AA/PA-MEs at 0.05 or 0.1% TVO. The results introduce dilutable TVO:AA/PA-MEs for incorporation of TVO in aqueous systems for use as a fruit/vegetable disinfecting agent.

Abstract
Our previous work has demonstrated that α-linolenic acid (ALA)-loaded oil-in-water (O/W) microemulsion could enhance ALA antioxidant capacity. Meanwhile, we also observed that synthesized microemulsion itself had fluorescence. In this work, we have prepared a multiple water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) microemulsion to further enhance ALA antioxidant capacity and activate this delivery carrier application potential with a free label. The compositions of primary water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsion were obtained using pseudo-ternary phase diagrams, and then W/O/W microemulsion was prepared adopting the "two-step heterotherm method". The conductivity of W/O/W microemulsion was measured to lie between 250.0 and 350.0 μs/cm. The spherical droplets with a mean particle diameter of 10.0-20.0 nm were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Nuclear magnetic resonance confirmed that ALA diffused to the multiple water-oily interface simultaneously. In addition, the in vitro release and antioxidant capacity measurements of ALA-loaded W/O/W microemulsion concluded the sustained-release effect and excellent antioxidant capacity. The fluorescent intensity of W/O/W microemulsion was markedly increased in comparison to O/W microemulsion. The synthesized microemulsion could lead to important applications and have advantages of a label-free fluorescent carrier for optical imaging purposes.

Abstract
Food-grade biopolymers, apart from their inherent nutritional properties, can be tailored designed for improving food quality and safety, either serving as delivery vehicles for bioactive molecules, or as novel packaging components, not only improving the transport properties of biobased packaging structures, but also imparting active antibacterial and antiviral properties. In this chapter, the potential of different food-grade biopolymers (mainly proteins and carbohydrates but also some biopolyesters) to serve as encapsulating matrices for the protection of sensitive bioactives or as nanostructured packaging layers to improve transport properties and control the growth of pathogenic bacteria and viruses are described based on some developments carried out by the authors, as well as the most prominent works found in literature in this area.

Abstract
This study aims to develop a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) based on non-ionic surfactant mixtures to improve the oral bioavailability of efavirenz (EFZ) categorized as a class II according to the BCS, for HIV- therapy. The result of solubility studies of EFZ in various excipients utilized for construction of the pseudo ternary phase diagram containing surfactant mixtures. Surfactants in 1:1 combination are used with different co-surfactants in different ratio to delineate the area of monophasic region of the pseudo ternary phase diagram. Different accelerated physical stability studies and self-emulsification assessment were performed on the formulations. The formulations clearing the above studies are considered for percentage transmittance and turbidity analysis. The globule size distributions of post diluted SNEDDS having percentage transmittance above 90 were estimated. The TEM analysis of two optimized post diluted SNEDDS formulations further confirm the size in nanometric range (below 50nm). FT-IR studies showed the retention of the characteristic peaks of EFZ in the preconcentrate. The in vitro dissolution profile of SNEDDS established advantages of SNEDDS over plain drug as more than 80% drug was released within 30min in case of optimized SNEDDS while it was approximately 18.3% in the case of plain drug powder. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated after performing the in vivo studies of best optimized formulation in rats. The Pharmacokinetic data reveal a 2.63 fold increase in AUC(0-∞) in comparison to plain EFZ suspension. The designed delivery system showed the faith in generating an effective formulation of EFZ for HIV treatment.

Abstract
In this study, the capability of a natural surfactant, lecithin, and the influence of ionic strength, pH, and temperature on some properties of a food grade microemulsion system were evaluated. For this purpose, the pseudoternary phase diagrams of canola oil/lecithin:n-propanol/water microemulsions in the presence of different salts (NaCl and CaCl2), ionic strengths, pHs, and temperatures were constructed. Our findings showed that the presence of salts slightly increased the W/O areas on the phase diagrams, whereas pH variation was not effective on the microemulsion formation. The expansion of microemulsion areas with temperature indicated the greater triglycerides solubilization capacity of lecithin based microemulsions at higher temperatures. These findings revealed the efficiency of lecithin-based microemulsion system for solubilization of triglycerides which can potentially be used for extraction of edible vegetable oils particularly canola oil.

Novel nanoemulsion-based drug delivery systems (DDS) have been proposed as alternative and effective approach for the delivery of various types of poorly water-soluble drugs in the last decade. This nanoformulation strategy significantly improves the cell uptake and bioavailability of numerous hydrophobic drugs by increasing their solubility and dissolution rate, maintaining drug concentration within the therapeutic range by controlling the drug release rate, and reducing systemic side effects by targeting to specific disease site, thus offering a better patient compliance. To date, cavitation technology has emerged to be an energy-efficient and promising technique to generate such nanoscale emulsions encapsulating a variety of highly potent pharmaceutical agents that are water-insoluble. The micro-turbulent implosions of cavitation bubbles tear-off primary giant oily emulsion droplets to nano-scale, spontaneously leading to the formation of highly uniform drug contained nanodroplets. A substantial body of recent literatures in the field of nanoemulsions suggests that cavitation is a facile, cost-reducing yet safer generation tool, remarkably highlighting its industrial commercial viability in the development of designing novel nanocarriers or enhancing the properties of existing pharmaceutical products. In this review, the fundamentals of nanoemulsion and the principles involved in their formation are presented. The underlying mechanisms in the generation of pharmaceutical nanoemulsion under acoustic field as well as the advantages of using cavitation compared to the conventional techniques are also highlighted. This review focuses on recent nanoemulsion-based DDS development and how cavitation through ultrasound and hydrodynamic means is useful to generate the pharmaceutical grade nanoemulsions including the complex double or submicron multiple emulsions.

Microemulsion formulation of Carbendazim and its in vitro antifungal activities evaluation. PLoS One 2014; 9:e109580.

Abstract
The fungus Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn is a widespread and destructive plant pathogen with a very broad host range. Although various pathogens, including R. solani, have been traditionally controlled using chemical pesticides, their use faces drawbacks such as environmental pollution, development of pesticide resistance, and other negative effects. Carbendazim is a well-known antifungal agent capable of controlling a broad range of plant diseases, but its use is hampered by its poor aqueous solubility. In this study, we describe an environmentally friendly pharmaceutical microemulsion system using carbendazim as the active ingredient, chloroform and acetic acid as solvents, and the surfactants HSH and 0204 as emulsifiers. This system increased the solubility of carbendazim to 30 g/L. The optimal microemulsion formulation was determined based on a pseudo-ternary phase diagram; its physicochemical characteristics were also tested. The cloud point was greater than 90°C and it was resistant to freezing down to −18°C, both of which are improvements over the temperature range in which pure carbendazim can be used. This microemulsion meets the standard for pesticide microemulsions and demonstrated better activity against R. solani AG1-IA, relative to an aqueous solution of pure carbendazim (0.2 g/L). The mechanism of activity was reflected in the inhibition of against R. solani AG1-IA including mycelium growth, and sclerotia formation and germination were significantly better than that of 0.2 g/L carbendazim water solution according to the results of t-test done by SPSS 19.

Abstract
Several skin diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis are associated with the depletion or disturbance of stratum corneum (SC) lipids such as ceramides (CERs), free fatty acids and cholesterol. Studies suggested that replenishment of these lipids might help to treat diseased, affected or aged skin. With this premises in mind, there are some formulations in the market that contain SC lipids and currently, to facilitate permeation of the lipids deep into the SC, various CERs, and other SC lipid microemulsions (MEs) were developed and characterised using lecithin or TEGO® CARE PL 4 (TCPL4) as base surfactants. However, to date, there are no reports that involve the permeability of SC lipids into and across the SC, and therefore, the penetration of CER [NP] as a model ceramide from various formulations was investigated ex vivo using Franz diffusion cell. Besides, the toxicity of the MEs was assessed using hen's egg test chorioallantoic membrane (HET-CAM). The results of the study showed that CER [NP] could not permeate into deeper layers of the SC from a conventional hydrophilic cream. Unlike the cream, CER [NP] permeated into the deeper layers of the SC from both type of MEs, where permeation of the CER was more and into deeper layers from droplet type and lecithin-based MEs than bicontinuous (BC) type and TCPL4 based MEs, respectively. The CER also permeated into deeper layers from ME gels which was, however, shallow and to a lesser extent when compared with the MEs. The results of HET-CAM showed that both MEs are safe to be used topically, with lecithin-based MEs exhibiting better safety profiles than TCPL4 based MEs. Concluding, the study showed that the MEs are safe to be used on the skin for the controlled penetration of CER [NP] deep into the SC.

Polyglycerol fatty acid ester surfactant-based microemulsions for targeted delivery of ceramide AP into the stratum corneum: formulation, characterisation, in vitro release and penetration investigation. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2012; 82:139-50. [PMID: 22691416 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2012.05.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2012] [Revised: 05/02/2012] [Accepted: 05/24/2012] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Ceramide AP (CER [AP]) is an integral component of the stratum corneum (SC) lipid matrix and is capable of forming tough and super stable lamellae. It may help to restore the barrier function in aged and affected skin. However, its effectiveness from conventional dosage forms is limited due to its poor solubility and penetration into the SC. Therefore, stable polyglycerol fatty acid ester surfactant (SAA)-based CER [AP] microemulsions (MEs) were formulated and characterised to enhance its solubilisation and penetration into the SC. TEGO® CARE PL 4 (TCPL4: polyglycerol-4-laurate), isopropyl palmitate (IPP) and water-1, 2 pentandiol (PeG) were used as amphiphilic, oily and hydrophilic components, respectively. The effects of HYDRIOL® PGMO.4 (HPGMO4: polyglyceryl-4-oleate) as a co-surfactant (co-SAA) and linoleic acid (Lin A) as part of the oil component on the stability and characteristics of the MEs were investigated. EPR results were used for the first time to reveal MEs nanostructures. The release and penetration behaviour of the MEs was assessed in vitro by using a multi-layer membrane model. The results obtained showed that HPGMO4 and Lin A increased stability and expanded the ME region considerably. The formulations were stable for 10 to >24 months. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) results showed that the droplets were bigger and asymmetric, which might be helpful to localise the CER into the upper layers of the epidermis. Release and penetration from the MEs was superior as compared to the hydrophilic cream (DAB). The rate and extent of CER [AP] released and penetrated from O/W MEs was better than W/O MEs.
