Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of death globally that seriously threaten human health. Although novel western medicines have continued to be discovered over the past few decades to inhibit the progression of CVDs, new drug research and development for treating CVDs with less side effects and adverse reactions are continuously being desired. Puerarin is a natural product found in a variety of medicinal plants belonging to the flavonoid family with potent biological and pharmacological activities. Abundant research findings in the literature have suggested that puerarin possesses a promising prospect in treating CVDs. In recent years, numerous new molecular mechanisms of puerarin have been explored in experimental and clinical studies, providing new evidence for this plant metabolite to protect against CVDs. This article systematically introduces the history of use, bioavailability, and various dosage forms of puerarin and further summarizes recently published data on the major research advances and their underlying therapeutic mechanisms in treating CVDs. It may provide references for researchers in the fields of pharmacology, natural products, and internal medicine.

Supercritical fluid coating of flavonoids on excipients enhances drug release and antioxidant activity. Int J Pharm 2023; 632:122593. [PMID: 36626970 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.122593] [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: 09/03/2022] [Revised: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Supercritical anti-solvent fluidized bed (SAS-FB) technology can be applied to reduce particle size, prevent particle aggregation, and improve the dissolution and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. In this work, drug-loaded microparticles of three similar structures, the flavonoids luteolin (LUT), naringenin (NGR), and dihydromyricetin (DMY) were prepared using SAS-FB technology, to explore its effect on the coating of flavonoid particles. Operating temperature, pressure, carrier, solvent, and concentration of drug solution were investigated for their effects on the yield and dissolution of flavonoid particles. The results showed that temperature, pressure, carrier, and drug solution concentration have a large effect on yield. Within the study range, low supercritical CO2 density at higher temperature and lower pressure, a larger surface area carrier, and moderate drug solution concentration led to a higher yield. The effect of the solvent on the yield of flavonoids is a result of multiple factors. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that the drug-loaded particles prepared from different carriers and solvents have different precipitations pattern on the carrier surface, and their particle sizes were smaller than unprocessed particles and those prepared by the SAS process. Fluorescence microscopy (FM) results showed that the flavonoids were uniformly coated on the carrier. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) results showed that the crystalline morphology of SAS-FB particles remained unchanged after the SAS-FB process, although the diffraction peak intensity decreased. The cumulative dissolution of SAS-FB particles was more than four times faster in the first 5 min than that of the unprocessed flavonoids. The antioxidant activity of SAS-FB processed LUT, NGR and DMY was 1.89-3.78 times, 4.92-10.68 times and 0.99-2.57 times higher than that of the untreated flavonoids, respectively. The approach provides a reference for the application of SAS-FB technology in flavonoids.

Adv Drug Deliv Rev 2021; 176:113846. [PMID: 34197896 DOI: 10.1016/j.addr.2021.113846] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
Despite the success in developing various pharmaceutical formulations, most of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)/drugs, according to the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS), often suffer from various intrinsic limitations of solubility and permeability, substantially hindering their bioavailability in vivo. Regardless of the fact that the availability of different particle fabrication approaches (top-down and bottom-up) towards pharmaceutical manufacturing, the supercritical fluid (SCF) technology has emerged as one of the highly effective substitutes due to the environmentally benign nature and processing convenience, as well as the economically promising character of SCFs. The exceptional features of SCFs have endowed the fabrication of various APIs either solely or in combination with the compatible supramolecular species towards achieving improved drug delivery. Operating such APIs in high-pressure conditions often results in arbitrary-sized particulate forms, ranging from micron-sized to sub-micron/nano-sized particles. Comparatively, these SCF-processed particles offer enhanced tailorable physicochemical and morphological properties (size, shape, and surface), as well as improved performance efficacy (bioavailability and therapy) over the unprocessed APIs. Although the "carrier-based" delivery is practical among diverse delivery systems, the direct fabrication of APIs into suitable particulate forms, referred to as "carrier-free" delivery, has increased attention towards improving the bioavailability and conveying a high payload of the APIs. This review gives a comprehensive emphasis on the SCF-assisted fabrication of diverse APIs towards exploring their great potential in drug delivery. Initially, we discuss various challenges of drug delivery and particle fabrication approaches. Further, different supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2)-based fabrication approaches depending on the character of SCFs are explicitly described, highlighting their advantages and suitability in processing diverse APIs. Then, we provide detailed insights on various processing factors affecting the properties and morphology of SCF-processed APIs and their pharmaceutical applications, emphasizing their performance efficacy when administered through multiple routes of administration. Finally, we summarize this compilation with exciting perspectives based on the lessons learned so far and moving forward in terms of challenges and opportunities in the scale-up and clinical translation of these drugs using this innovative technology.

Abstract
Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) are popular for enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. Various approaches have been employed to produce ASDs and novel techniques are emerging. This review provides an updated overview of manufacturing techniques for preparing ASDs. As physical stability is a critical quality attribute for ASD, the impact of formulation, equipment, and process variables, together with the downstream processing on physical stability of ASDs have been discussed. Selection strategies are proposed to identify suitable manufacturing methods, which may aid in the development of ASDs with satisfactory physical stability.

Abstract
The biggest obstacle to the treatment of diseases that affect the central nervous system (CNS) is the passage of drugs across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a physical barrier that regulates the entry of substances into the brain and ensures the homeostasis of the CNS. This review summarizes current research on lipid-based nanoparticles for the nanoencapsulation of neuroprotective compounds. A survey of studies on nanoemulsions (NEs), nanoliposomes/nanophytosomes and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs)/nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) was carried out and is discussed herein, with particular emphasis upon their unique characteristics, the most important parameters influencing the formulation of each one, and examples of neuroprotective compounds/extracts nanoencapsulated using these nanoparticles. Gastrointestinal absorption is also discussed, as it may pose some obstacles for the absorption of free and nanoencapsulated neuroprotective compounds into the bloodstream, consequently hampering drug concentration in the brain. The transport mechanisms through which compounds or nanoparticles may cross BBB into the brain parenchyma, and the potential to increase drug bioavailability, are also discussed. Additionally, factors contributing to BBB disruption and neurodegeneration are described. Finally, the advantages of, and obstacles to, conventional and unconventional routes of administration to deliver nanoencapsulated neuroprotective drugs to the brain are also discussed, taking into account the avoidance of first-pass metabolism, onset of action, ability to bypass the BBB and concentration of the drug in the brain.

Abstract
A novel method for electroformation of liposomes and phytosomes using copper electrode is described. Liposomes made at 2 V and 10 Hz AC field from L-α-egg-phosphatidylcholine (egg-PC), K. pneumoniae phosphatidylethanolamine, K. pneumoniae polar lipids and E. coli polar lipids on copper electrode were (777.9 ± 118.4), (370.2 ± 100.5), (825.3 ± 21.54), and (281.3 ± 42.3) nm in diameter, respectively. Giant vesicles were formed at 30 V and 10 Hz AC field from polar lipids of K. pneumoniae and E. coli were (106 ± 29.7) and (86 ± 24.3) µm in diameter, respectively. All liposomes were unilamellar as indicated by their unilamellar indices of 50 ± 2, had surface charge comparable to vesicles made from lipid(s) with similar composition and exhibited only 1-2 mol% of oxidized lipids. Cu concentration in the liposomal samples was <1.5 ppm for large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) and ˂5 ppm for giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). The vesicles were stable for >15 d without loss of their size, charge, or unilamellarity. The method was successfully applied to prepare phytosomes from egg-PC and a phytochemical fraction of Dimorphocalyx glabellus, a medicinal plant with anti-diuretic properties. Phytosomes formed were 1000-1500 nm in diameter and exhibited altered fluorescence and absorbance properties compared to the unencapsulated phytochemical. Phytosomes with phytochemical: egg-PC ratio from 0.15 to 1.5 had encapsulation efficiency ranging 90-30%, respectively, and was stable for 1 month. Our method is easy, inexpensive and convenient that will prove to be useful for preparation of liposomes and phytosomes.

Abstract
Hesperetin, an abundant bioactive component of citrus fruits, is poorly water-soluble, resulting in low oral bioavailability. We developed new formulations to improve the water solubility, antioxidant activity, and oral absorption of hesperetin. Two nano-based formulations were developed, namely hesperetin-TPGS (D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate) micelles and hesperetin-phosphatidylcholine (PC) complexes. These two formulations were prepared by a simple technique called solvent dispersion, using US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved excipients for drugs. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used to characterize the formulations' physical properties. Cytotoxicity analysis, cellular antioxidant activity assay, and a pharmacokinetic study were performed to evaluate the biological properties of these two formulations. The final weight ratios of both hesperetin to TPGS and hesperetin to PC were 1:12 based on their water solubility, which increased to 21.5- and 20.7-fold, respectively. The hesperetin-TPGS micelles had a small particle size of 26.19 nm, whereas the hesperetin-PC complexes exhibited a larger particle size of 219.15 nm. In addition, the cellular antioxidant activity assay indicated that both hesperetin-TPGS micelles and hesperetin-PC complexes increased the antioxidant activity of hesperetin to 4.2- and 3.9-fold, respectively. Importantly, the in vivo oral absorption study on rats indicated that the micelles and complexes significantly increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) from 2.64 μg/mL to 20.67 and 33.09 μg/mL and also increased the area under the concentration-time curve of hesperetin after oral administration to 16.2- and 18.0-fold, respectively. The micelles and complexes increased the solubility and remarkably improved the in vitro antioxidant activity and in vivo oral absorption of hesperetin, indicating these formulations' potential applications in drugs and healthcare products.

Abstract
Although active constituents extracted from plants show robust in vitro pharmacological effects, low in vivo absorption greatly limits the widespread application of these compounds. A strategy of using phyto-phospholipid complexes represents a promising approach to increase the oral bioavailability of active constituents, which is consist of ‘‘label-friendly” phospholipids and active constituents. Hydrogen bond interactions between active constituents and phospholipids enable phospholipid complexes as an integral part. This review provides an update on four important issues related to phyto-phospholipid complexes: active constituents, phospholipids, solvents, and stoichiometric ratios. We also discuss recent progress in research on the preparation, characterization, structural verification, and increased bioavailability of phyto-phospholipid complexes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Centella asiatica phytosome (CA phytosome) has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its anti-dermatitic effect has not yet been reported. PURPOSE We investigated the effects of CA phytosome on inflammatory reponses by macrophages in an atopic dermatitis (AD) mouse model. STUDY DESIGN The effects of CA phytosome on atopic dermatitis were examined by using phthalic anhydride (PA)-induced AD mouse model and RAW 264.7 murine macrophages. METHODS An AD-like lesion was induced by a topical application of 5% phthalic anhydride (PA) to the dorsal skin or ear of HR-1 mice. After AD induction, 100 µl (20 µl/cm2) of 0.2% and 0.4% CA phytosome was spread on the dorsal skin and ear of the mice three times a week for four weeks. We evaluated histopathological changes and changes in protein expression by Western blotting for iNOS and COX-2; NF-κB activity was determined by EMSA. We also measured TNF-α, IL-1β, and IgE concentration in the blood of AD mice by ELISA. RESULTS Histological analysis showed that CA phytosome inhibited infiltration of inflammatory cells. CA phytosome treatment inhibited the expression of iNOS and COX-2, activity of NF-κB, and release of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IgE. In addition, CA phytosome (5, 10, and 20 µg/ml) potently inhibited LPS (1 µg/ml)-induced NO production as well as iNOS and COX-2 expression in RAW 264.7 macrophage. Furthermore, CA phytosome inhibited LPS-induced DNA binding activities of NF-κB, and this was associated with the discontinuation of IκBα degradation and subsequent decreases in the translocation of p65 and p50 into the nucleus. CONCLUSION From our data, CA phytosome application, which operates via NF-κB signaling inhibition, seems to be a promising AD treatment. Herein, we investigated the effects of Centella asiatica phytosome (CA phytosome) on inflammatory responses by macrophages in an atopic dermatitis (AD) mouse model. An AD-like lesion was induced by the topical application of 5% phthalic anhydride (PA) to the dorsal skin or ear of HR-1 mice. After AD induction, 100 µl (20 µl/cm2) of 0.2% and 0.4% CA phytosome was spread on the dorsal skin and ear of the mice three times a week for four weeks. We evaluated dermatitis severity, histopathological changes, and changes in protein expression by Western blotting for iNOS and COX-2; NF-κB activity was determined by gel electromobility shift assay (EMSA). We also measured TNF-α, IL-1β, and IgE concentration in the blood of AD mice by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). CA phytosome attenuated the development of PA-induced AD. Histological analysis showed that CA phytosome inhibited hyperkeratosis, proliferation of mast cells, and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Furthermore, CA phytosome treatment inhibited the expression of iNOS and COX-2, activity of NF-κB, and release of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IgE. In addition, CA phytosome (5, 10, and 20 µg/ml) potently inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (1 µg/ml)-induced NO production as well as iNOS and COX-2 expression in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Furthermore, CA phytosome inhibited LPS-induced DNA binding activities of NF-κB, and this was associated with the discontinuation of IκBα degradation and subsequent decreases in the translocation of p65 and p50 into the nucleus. From our data, CA phytosome application, which operates via NF-κB signaling inhibition, seems to be a promising AD treatment.

Abstract
Phytoconstituents have been utilized as medicines for thousands of years, yet their application is limited owing to major hurdles like deficit lipid solubility, large molecular size and degradation in the gastric environment of gut. Recently, phospholipid-complex technique has unveiled in addressing these stumbling blocks either by enhancing the solubilizing capacity or its potentiating ability to pass through the biological membranes and it also protects the active herbal components from degradation. Hence, this phospholipid-complex-technique can enable researchers to deliver the phytoconstituents into systemic circulation by using certain conventional dosage forms like tablets and capsules. This review highlights the unique property of phospholipids in drug delivery, their role as adjuvant in health benefits, and their application in the herbal medicine systems to improve the bioavailability of active herbal components. Also we summarize the prerequisites for phytosomes preparation like the selection of type of phytoconstituents, solvents used, various methods employed in phytosomal preparation and its characterization. Further we discuss the key findings of recent research work conducted on phospholipid-based delivery systems which can enable new directions and advancements to the development of herbal dosage forms.

Abstract
Amorphous products and particularly amorphous solid dispersions are currently one of the most exciting areas in the pharmaceutical field. This approach presents huge potential and advantageous features concerning the overall improvement of drug bioavailability. Currently, different manufacturing processes are being developed to produce amorphous solid dispersions with suitable robustness and reproducibility, ranging from solvent evaporation to melting processes. In the present paper, laboratorial and industrial scale processes were reviewed, and guidelines for a rationale selection of manufacturing processes were proposed. This would ensure an adequate development (laboratorial scale) and production according to the good manufacturing practices (GMP) (industrial scale) of amorphous solid dispersions, with further implications on the process validations and drug development pipeline.

Abstract
The interest of the pharmaceutical industry in lipid drug delivery systems due to their prolonged release profile, biocompatibility, reduction of side effects, and so on is already known. However, conventional methods of preparation of these structures for their use and production in the pharmaceutical industry are difficult since these methods are usually multi-step and involve high amount of organic solvent. Furthermore, some processes need extreme conditions, which can lead to an increase of heterogeneity of particle size and degradation of the drug. An alternative for drug delivery system production is the utilization of supercritical fluid technique. Lipid particles produced by supercritical fluid have shown different physicochemical properties in comparison to lipid particles produced by classical methods. Such particles have shown more physical stability and narrower size distribution. So, in this paper, a critical overview of supercritical fluid-based processes for the production of lipid micro- and nanoparticles is given and the most important characteristics of each process are highlighted.

Abstract
Feruloylated lysophospholipids (FLPs) were firstly synthesized from phosphatidylcholine (PC) and ethyl ferulate (EF) using lipase-catalysed interesterification in selected solvents at controlled water content. Kinds of lipases and single solvents were screened. Novozym 435 and toluene were found to be the suitable biocatalyst and solvent, respectively. Then tert-butanol, n-butanol, chloroform, isopropanol, acetone and DMSO were respectively added into toluene in order to increase conversion of products. The results showed that toluene/chloroform could significantly increase the conversion and the optimal combination of toluene and chloroform was 90:10 (v/v). The optimal conditions generated for FLPs production were a substrate molar ratio of 5:1 (PC/EF), a PC's hydrolytic time of 1.5h, an enzyme load of 60 mg/ml, a solvent dosage of 5 ml and a molecular sieves concentration (4Å) of 100mg/ml. Under these conditions, 40.51% of EF can be converted to FLPs, which were identified by TLC and HPLC-MS.
