Abstract
Denture stomatitis is induced by irritation or an inflammatory response when wearing a denture for a long time. Candida species are the leading cause of biofilm formation on the surfaces and fissures of dentures. Thus, this study aimed to formulate and evaluate fluconazole tablets for use in preparing a disinfectant mixture with anticandidal activity. For size enlargement of lactose, a tablet diluent, using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as an agglomerating agent, was developed to enhance the flowability and compactability of the tablet preparation using direct compression. Lactose agglomerates with 6% PVP were used as a diluent for the fluconazole tablets. Furthermore, other excipients were used, such as a buffering agent, disintegrant, surfactant, and lubricant. The fluconazole tablets obtained could be dispersed and dissolved within 10 min in distilled water to achieve a clear mixture, providing a neutral pH and 96% transmittance. Furthermore, the fluconazole mixtures displayed anticandidal efficiency against C. albicans with a similar effect to the standard fluconazole solution. These findings suggest that the fluconazole-loaded lactose agglomerate tablets show strong potential when prepared using direct compression. The fluconazole mixtures made by dispersing the tablets can be used as a disinfectant for Candida-associated dentures, particularly in patients with oral candidiasis.

Abstract
Cubosomes and hexosomes are nanostructured liquid crystalline particles, known as biocompatible nanocarriers for drug delivery. In recent years, there has been good interest in using cubosomes and hexosomes for the delivery of bioactive compounds in functional foods. These systems feature thermodynamic stability, encapsulate both hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances, and have a high tolerance to environmental stresses and potential for controlled release. This review outlines the recent advances in cubosomes and hexosomes in the food industry, focusing on their structure, composition, formation mechanisms, and factors influencing phase transformation between cubosomes and hexosomes. The potential applications especially for the bioactive delivery are presented. The integration of cubosomes and hexosomes with other emerging encapsulation technologies such as surface coating, gelation, and incorporation of polymers are also discussed.

Abstract
We report a strategy for sustainable development of pH-responsive cubic liquid crystalline nanoparticles (cubosomes), in which the structure-defining lyotropic nonlamellar lipid and the eventually encapsulated guest molecules can be protected by pH-sensitive polyelectrolyte shells with mucoadhesive properties. Bulk non-lamellar phases as well as pH-responsive polyelectrolyte-modified nanocarriers were formed by spontaneous assembly of the nonlamellar lipid monoolein and two biopolymers tailored in nanocomplexes with pH-dependent net charge. The mesophase particles involved positively charged N-arginine-modified chitosan (CHarg) and negatively charged alginate (ALG) chains assembled at different biopolymer concentrations and charge ratios into a series of pH-responsive complexes. The roles of Pluronic F127 as a dispersing agent and a stabilizer of the nanoscale dispersions were examined. Synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) investigations were performed at several N-arginine-modified chitosan/alginate ratios (CHarg/ALG with 10, 15 and 20 wt% ALG relative to CHarg) and varying pH values mimicking the pH conditions of the gastrointestinal route. The structural parameters characterizing the inner cubic liquid crystalline organizations of the nanocarriers were determined as well as the particle sizes and stability on storage. The surface charge variations, influencing the measured zeta-potentials, evidenced the inclusion of the CHarg/ALG biopolymer complexes into the lipid nanoassemblies. The polyelectrolyte shells rendered the hybrid cubosome nanocarriers pH-sensitive and influenced the swelling of their lipid-phase core as revealed by the acquired SAXS patterns. The pH-responsiveness and the mucoadhesive features of the cubosomal lipid/polyelectrolyte nanocomplexes may be of interest for in vivo drug delivery applications.

Abstract
The intersection of lipid-based nanoparticles and lyotropic liquid crystals has provided a novel type of nanocarrier system known as 'lipid-based lyotropic liquid crystals' or 'liquid crystalline nanoparticles' (LCNPs). The unique advantages and immense popularity of LCNPs can be exploited in a better way if the formulation of LCNPs is done using the approach of quality by design (QbD). QbD is a systematic method that can be utilized in formulation development. When QbD is applied to LCNPs formulation, it will proffer many unique advantages, such as better product and process understanding, the flexibility of process within the design space, implementation of more effective and efficient control strategies, easy transfer from bench to bedside, and more robust product. In this work, the application of QbD in the formulation of LCNPs has been explored. The elements of QbD, viz. quality target product profile, critical quality attributes, critical material attributes, critical process parameters, quality risk management, design of experiments, and control strategy for the development of LCNPs have been explained in-depth with case studies. The present work will help the reader to understand the nitty-gritties in the application of QbD in the formulation of LCNPs, and provide a base for QbD-driven formulation of LCNPs with a regulatory perspective.

Abstract
Nanostructure bicontinuous cubic phase self-assembled materials are receiving expanding applications as biocompatible delivery systems in various therapeutic fields. The functionalization of cubosome, spongosome, hexosome and liposome nanocarriers by pH-sensitive lipids and/or pH-sensitive polymer shells offers new opportunities for oral and topical drug delivery towards a new generation of cancer therapies. The electrochemical behavior of drug compounds may favor pH-triggered drug release as well. Here, we highlight recent investigations, which explore the phase behavior of mixed nonlamellar lipid/fatty acid or phospholipid systems for the design of pH-responsive and mucoadhesive drug delivery systems with sustained-release properties. X-ray diffraction and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques are widely used in the development of innovative delivery assemblies through detailed structural analyses of multiple amphiphilic compositions from the lipid/co-lipid/water phase diagrams. pH-responsive nanoscale materials and nanoparticles are required for challenging therapeutic applications such as oral delivery of therapeutic proteins and peptides as well as of poorly water-soluble substances. Perspective nanomedicine developments with smart cubosome nanocarriers may exploit compositions elaborated to overcome the intestinal obstacles, dual-drug loaded pH-sensitive liquid crystalline architectures aiming at enhanced therapeutic efficacy, as well as composite (lipid/polyelectrolyte) types of mucoadhesive controlled release colloidal cubosomal formulations for the improvement of the drugs' bioavailability.

Abstract
Calcium alginate (CA) beads loaded with clotrimazole (CZ) were modified by adding poloxamer (PLX) in this study. Blends of PLX188 or PLX407 into sodium alginate (SA) dispersions caused a decrease in the SA zeta potential and led to viscosity synergism. SA with carboxyl and hydroxyl groups can interact with the hydroxyl groups of PLX via hydrogen bonding. A stronger interaction of SA with PLX407 was found when compared to the interaction between SA and PLX188. The PLX-CA beads gave a higher CZ entrapment efficiency than the CA beads. The highest PLX content used created an amorphous form of CZ in the beads because of the CZ solubilization by the PLX micelles. The addition of 0.5 or 1% w/v PLX can strengthen the CZ-loaded CA beads. Furthermore, the PLX-CA beads display a lower water uptake than the CA beads. PLX micellization can enhance CZ release and enhance the efficacy of CZ against Candida albicans. This study indicates that the molecular interaction of SA with PLX and the PLX micellization of CZ can improve the characteristics of CZ-loaded CA beads, which offer good potential for use as drug delivery systems or drug reservoirs in tablets for oral candidiasis.

Abstract
Many deadly infections are produced by microorganisms capable of sustained survival in macrophages. This reduces exposure to chemadrotherapy, prevents immune detection, and is akin to criminals hiding in police stations. Therefore, the use of glyco-nanoparticles (GNPs) as carriers of therapeutic agents is a burgeoning field. Such an approach can enhance the penetration of drugs into macrophages with specific carbohydrate targeting molecules on the nanocarrier to interact with macrophage lectins. Carbohydrates are natural biological molecules and the key constituents in a large variety of biological events such as cellular communication, infection, inflammation, enzyme trafficking, cellular migration, cancer metastasis and immune functions. The prominent characteristics of carbohydrates including biodegradability, biocompatibility, hydrophilicity and the highly specific interaction of targeting cell-surface receptors support their potential application to drug delivery systems (DDS). This review presents the 21st century development of carbohydrate-based nanocarriers for drug targeting of therapeutic agents for diseases localized in macrophages. The significance of natural carbohydrate-derived nanoparticles (GNPs) as anti-microbial drug carriers is highlighted in several areas of treatment including tuberculosis, salmonellosis, leishmaniasis, candidiasis, and HIV/AIDS.

Abstract
Aims:
The aim of this review is to survey the recent progress made in developing the
nanoparticles as antifungal agents especially the nano-based formulations being exploited for the
management of Candida infections.
Discussion:
In the last few decades, there has been many-fold increase in fungal infections including
candidiasis due to the increased number of immunocompromised patients worldwide. The efficacy of
available antifungal drugs is limited due to its associated toxicity and drug resistance in clinical
strains. The recent advancements in nanobiotechnology have opened a new hope for the development
of novel formulations with enhanced therapeutic efficacy, improved drug delivery and low toxicity.
Conclusion:
Metal nanoparticles have shown to possess promising in vitro antifungal activities and
could be effectively used for enhanced and targeted delivery of conventionally used drugs. The synergistic
interaction between nanoparticles and various antifungal agents have also been reported with
enhanced antifungal activity.

Abstract
Clotrimazole (CLT) was formulated in a nanoemulsion (NE) for the topical treatment of candidiasis consisting of 10% labrafac® lipophile, 60% labrasol®:capryol® 90 mixture (ratio 4:1) and 30% propylene glycol. Physicochemical properties, stability, rheology, in vitro drug release, ex vivo drug permeation through human skin and porcine buccal, sublingual and vaginal mucosae, antifungal efficacy, as well as in vivo skin tolerance were evaluated. 1% CLT-NE (CLT-NE1) and 2% CLT-NE (CLT-NE2) exhibited 153 ± 17.25 and 186 ± 15.38 nm droplet sizes, low polydispersity indexes, negative zeta potentials and biocompatible pH values. The CLT-NEs exhibited typical Newtonian profiles with viscosities of 42.14 ± 0.037 mPa·s and 41.35 ± 0.041 mPa·s, respectively and higher extensibility properties than commercial counterparts retaining their physicochemical properties for 180 days. NEs provided a sustained release of drug according to the first order model. Similar skin permeation properties were observed between CLT-NE1 and commercial reference. However, significant higher CLT amounts retained in mucosae were provided by CLT-NE2 when compared with references. Antifungal efficacies were also higher than commercial references, and the in vivo tolerance study confirmed the suitability for topical application, making CLT-NEs a great tool for clinical investigation of topical candidiasis treatments.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-protein composites offer potential utility for the delivery of drugs. The objectives of this work were to investigate the molecular interactions between sodium alginate (SA) and sodium caseinate (SC) in dispersions and films and to characterize calcium alginate (CA) beads mixed with SC for the delivery of fluconazole (FZ) and clotrimazole (CZ). The results demonstrated that SA could interact with SC, which caused a viscosity synergism in the dispersions. Hydrogen bonding between the carboxyl or hydroxyl groups of SA and the amide groups of SC led to the formation of soluble complexes that could reinforce the CA beads prepared by calcium cross-linking. The SC-CA beads provided higher drug entrapment efficiency, lower water uptake and erosion, and slower drug release than for the CA beads. The loaded FZ was an amorphous form, but CZ crystals were embedded in the bead matrix due to the low water solubility of this drug. However, SC micellization could enhance the water solubility and efficacy of CZ against Candida albicans. This finding indicates that SA can interact with SC via hydrogen bonding to form complexes and that the anticandidal-loaded SC-CA beads can be used as drug delivery systems and drug reservoirs in tablets for oral candidiasis.

Long circulating PEGylated-chitosan nanoparticles of rosuvastatin calcium: Development and in vitro and in vivo evaluations. Int J Biol Macromol 2017; 107:2190-2200. [PMID: 29042279 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2017.10.086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2017] [Revised: 10/08/2017] [Accepted: 10/14/2017] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to improve the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics profile of rosuvastatin calcium by formulating long-circulating PEGylated chitosan nanoparticles (NPs). Chitosan was PEGylated by a carbodiimide mediated reaction, using a carboxylic acid derivative of PEG (polyethylene glycol). The NPs were optimised for particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential and drug entrapment efficiency. In vitro drug release, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics studies of the optimized nanoparticles were performed. PEGylation of chitosan was confirmed by FTIR analysis. Drug-excipient compatibility was studied by differential scanning calorimetry and FTIR analyses. Two batches of nanoparticles were optimized with particle size of <200nm and entrapment efficiency of ≈14%. In vitro drug release studies revealed cumulative release of 14.07±0.57% and 22.02±0.81% of rosuvastatin over the period of 120h, indicating appreciable sustained release of drug. TEM analysis showed the spherical structure of nanoparticles. Pharmacokinetic studies indicated that optimized NPs showed prolonged drug release over a period of 72h. Pharmacodynamics studies in hyperlipidemic rat model demonstrated greater lipid-lowering capability of rosuvastatin nanoparticles in comparison with plain rosuvastatin. The nanoparticles demonstrated substantial prolonged delivery of the drug in vivo along with better therapeutic action, which could be potential drug delivery modality for 'statins'.

Abstract
Cubosomes are nanostructured liquid crystalline particles, made of certain amphiphilic lipids in definite proportions, known as biocompatible carriers in drug delivery. Cubosomes comprise curved bicontinuous lipid bilayers that are organized in three dimensions as honeycombed structures and divided into two internal aqueous channels that can be exploited by various bioactive ingredients, such as chemical drugs, peptides and proteins. Owing to unique properties such as thermodynamic stability, bioadhesion, the ability of encapsulating hydrophilic, hydrophobic and amphiphilic substances, and the potential for controlled release through functionalization, cubosomes are regarded as promising vehicles for different routes of administration. Based on the most recent reports, this review introduces cubosomes focusing on their structure, preparation methods, mechanism of release and potential routes of administration.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to develop oral dispersible tablets containing prednisolone (PDS)-loaded chitosan nanoparticles using microcrystalline cellulose (MCC 101), lactose, and croscarmellose sodium (CCS). The PDS-loaded chitosan nanoparticles were formulated by ionotropic external gelation technique in order to enhance the solubility of PDS in salivary pH. Prepared nanoparticles were used for the development of oral fast disintegrating tablets by direct compression method. The prepared tablets were evaluated for disintegration time (DT), in vitro drug release (DR), thickness, weight variation, drug content uniformity, friability, and hardness. The effect of concentrations of the dependent variables (MCC, lactose, CCS) on DT and in vitro DR was studied. Fast disintegrating tablets of PDS can be prepared by using MCC, CCS, and lactose with enhanced solubility of PDS. The minimum DT was found to be 15 seconds, and the maximum DR within 30 minutes was 98.50%. All independent variables selected for the study were statistically significant. Oral fast disintegrating tablets containing PDS nanoparticles could be the better choice for the pediatric patients that would result in better patient compliance. From this study, it can be concluded that fast disintegrating tablets could be a potential drug delivery technology for the management of asthma in pediatrics.
