Shah S, Patel V. Targeting posterior eye infections with colloidal carriers: The case of Ganciclovir. Int J Pharm 2023; 645:123427.

Abstract
The ocular system, unlike any other human body organ, is a system in which foreign bodies appear quite defenceless in front of the eye. Several infections of the ocular system occur due to various opportunistic conditions. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of the opportunivores that causes several posterior eye infections. Ganciclovir (GCV),9-(2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl) ethoxymethyl), is aguanine-antiviral agent primarily used to treat CMV diseases. However, the major challenge is of lower bioavailability. Hence, GCV must be dosed repeatedly to enhance drug absorption. but this causes side effects like neutropenia and bone marrow suppression. So, formulators have used alternative formulation strategies such as prodrug formulation and colloidal drug delivery systems. In the prodrug strategy, they attempted to bind various compounds into the parent drug to increase the permeability and bioavailability of GCV. In colloidal drug delivery systems, mucoadhesive microspheres, nanoparticles, Niosome and liposome were employed to extend the drug residence time at the application site. This paper discusses several colloidal carriers combined with GCV to treat opportunistic CMV infection in the posterior ocular system. It reviews the limitations of conventional ocular therapy and explores various novel formulation approaches to improve the ocular bioavailability of GCV in the posterior chamber of the eye.

Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2419.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular complication associated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) overexpression. Therapeutic delivery to the retina is a challenging phenomenon due to ocular biological barriers. Sorafenib tosylate (ST) is a lipophilic drug with low molecular weight, making it ineffective at bypassing the blood-retinal barrier (BRB) to reach the target site. Cubosomes are potential nanocarriers for encapsulating and releasing such drugs in a sustained manner. The present research aimed to compare the effects of sorafenib-tosylate-loaded cubosome nanocarriers (ST-CUBs) and a sorafenib tosylate suspension (ST-Suspension) via subconjunctival route in an experimental DR model. In this research, ST-CUBs were prepared using the melt dispersion emulsification technique. The distribution of prepared nanoparticles into the posterior eye segments was studied with confocal microscopy. The ST-CUBs were introduced into rats' left eye via subconjunctival injection (SCJ) and compared with ST-Suspension to estimate the single-dose pharmacokinetic profile. Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic albino rats were treated with ST-CUBs and ST-Suspension through the SCJ route once a week for 28 days to measure the inhibitory effect of ST on the diabetic retina using histopathology and immunohistochemistry (IHC) examinations. Confocal microscopy and pharmacokinetic studies showed an improved concentration of ST from ST-CUBs in the retina. In the DR model, ST-CUB treatment using the SCJ route exhibited decreased expression levels of VEGF, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and adhesion molecules compared to ST-Suspension. From the noted research findings, it was concluded that the CUBs potentially enhanced the ST bioavailability. The study outcomes established that the developed nanocarriers were ideal for delivering the ST-CUBs via the SCJ route to target the retina for facilitated DR management.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the hypothesis that 3 novel compounds, OXT-328, Q-922, and CL-717 show efficacy in the treatment of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) and whether or not their route of administration is intravitreal, topical, or systemic. Methods: The OIR mouse model, characterized by an avascular area (AVA) and a neovascular area (NVA) of the retina, was used to study retinopathy of prematurity and other retinal diseases characterized by abnormal vessel growth. We measured the effect of our compounds on both the AVA and NVA in whole mounts of mouse retinal tissue. We also evaluated their ability to prevent new vessel formation in chicken chorioallantoic membranes (CAMs). Finally, we measured the in vitro uptake and biodistribution of topically applied CL-717 in human eye explants. Results: In mice with OIR, compared to controls, a single intravitreal administration of Q-922 or OXT-328 significantly reduced both AVA and NVA. CL-717 administered as eye drops over 5 days also reduced AVA and NVA, whereas OXT-328 eye drops had no effect. Q-922 given intraperitoneal (150 mg/kg/day × 5 days) reduced AVA and NVA. Remarkably, explanted human eyes bathed in CL-717 show rapid uptake and biodistribution in ocular tissues. In the chicken CAM model, all 3 compounds reduced the formation of new blood vessels by about one-third. No side effect in mice was observed, except for mild ocular surface irritation with Q-922. Conclusions: Systemic administration of Q-922 or topical administration of CL-717 holds particular promise for a simplified treatment of proliferative retinopathies without the necessity of intravitreal injections.

Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED) is the most common clinical ocular surface disease. Given its multifactorial etiology, no consensus has been reached on the diagnosis criteria for dry eye disease. Topical drug administration remains the mainstay of treatment but is limited to the rapid clearance from the eye surface. To address these problems, hydrogel-based materials were designed to detect biomarkers or act as drug delivery systems by taking advantage of their good biocompatibility, excellent physical and mechanical properties, and long-term implant stability. Biosensors prepared using biocompatible hydrogels can be sensitive in diagnosing DED, and the designed hydrogels can also improve the drug bioavailability and retention time for more effective and long-term treatment. This review summarizes recent advances in the use of hydrogels for diagnosing and treating dry eye, aiming to provide a novel reference for the eventual clinical translation of hydrogels in the context of dry eye disease.

Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED) is a frequently observed eye complaint, which has recently attracted considerable research interest. Conventional therapy for DED involves the use of artificial tear products, cyclosporin, corticosteroids, mucin secretagogues, antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition, ocular drug delivery systems based on nanotechnology are currently the focus of significant research effort and several nanotherapeutics, such as nanoemulsions, nanosuspensions, microemulsions, liposomes and nanomicelles, are in clinical trials and some have FDA approval as novel treatments for DED. Thus, there has been remarkable progress in the design of nanotechnology-based approaches to overcome the limitations of ophthalmic formulations for the management of anterior eye diseases. This review presents research results on diagnostic methods for DED, current treatment options, and promising pharmaceuticals as future therapeutics, as well as new ocular drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Purpose: Dry eye disease (DED) is classified as aqueous deficient, evaporative, or mixed. We investigated the therapeutic effect of the novel anti-inflammatory drug phosphosulindac (PS) in rabbit models of DED encompassing its pathogenesis, and its transition to chronicity. Methods: We treated three rabbit models of DED with PS (hydrogel formulation) or vehicle topically applied 1 × /day. We induced aqueous-deficient DED (acute and chronic) by injecting Concanavalin A into lacrimal glands; evaporative DED by injecting into the upper eyelid inactivated Mycobacterium tuberculosis in complete Freund's adjuvant; and mixed DED through desiccative stress, induced by holding open the eye for 3 h. We determined corneal sensitivity, tear break-up time (TBUT), Schirmer's tear test (STT), tear osmolality, and fluorescein staining of the ocular surface. Results: PS reversed all abnormal DED parameters. In acute DED, PS dose dependently normalized corneal sensitivity and tear osmolality; and improved TBUT, STT, and fluorescein staining. PS normalized corneal sensitivity and improved all other parameters in chronic aqueous-deficient DED. In evaporative DED, PS normalized corneal sensitivity and improved TBUT and fluorescein staining (osmolality and STT were not significantly changed in this model). In the desiccative stress model, PS improved TBUT and fluorescein staining but had no effect on STT or tear osmolality. Conclusions: PS rapidly reversed almost all DED parameters in its three subtypes. The normalization of the suppressed corneal sensitivity suggests the possibility of marked symptomatic relief by PS. The hydrogel formulation allows once-daily dosing. PS merits further development as a potential treatment for DED.

Abstract
Purpose: Inflammation of the ocular surface is central to dry eye disease (DED). The anti-inflammatory agent phospho-sulindac (PS) at a high dose was efficacious against DED in a rabbit model. We assessed the dose, formulation and structure dependence of PS's effect. Methods: In rabbits with concanavalin A-induced DED we evaluated a range of PS concentrations (0.05%-1.6%) and dosing frequencies, assessed the duration of its effect with PS in 2 solution formulations and one emulsion formulation, and compared the efficacy of PS to that of sulindac, and of the structurally similar phospho-ibuprofen amide. We determined tear breakup time (TBUT) (tear stability), Schirmer's tear test (tear production), and by esthesiometry corneal sensitivity (symptoms). We also determined the biodistribution in the eye of topically applied PS. Results: PS in a solution formulation, given as eye drops q.i.d. was efficacious starting at a dose of 0.1%. The effect was apparent after 2 days of treatment and lasted at least 8 days after the last dose. Both signs (evidenced by TBUT and Schirmer's test) and symptoms (measured by corneal sensitivity) improved significantly. The best formulation was the solution formulation; a cyclodextrin-based formulation was also successful but the emulsion formulation was not. PS and its metabolites were essentially restricted to the anterior chamber of the eye. Sulindac and phospho-ibuprofen amide had no efficacy on DED. Conclusions: PS is efficacious against DED. Its effect, encompassing signs, and symptoms, are dose, formulation, and structure dependent. PS has therapeutic promise and merits further development.

Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED) is a common multifactorial disease linked to the tears/ocular surface leading to eye discomfort, ocular surface damage, and visual disturbance. Antiinflammatory agents (steroids and cyclosporine A), hormonal therapy, antibiotics, nerve growth factors, essential fatty acids are used as treatment options of DED. Current therapies attempt to reduce the ocular discomfort by producing lubrication and stimulating gland/nerve(s) associated with tear production, without providing a permanent cure for dry eye. Nanocarrier systems show a great promise to revolutionize drug delivery in DED, offering many advantages such as site specific and sustained delivery of therapeutic agents. This review presents an overview, pathophysiology, prevalence and etiology of DED, with an emphasis on preclinical and clinical studies involving the use of nanocarrier systems in treating DED. Lay Summary: Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disease associated with tear deficiency or excessive tear evaporation. There are several review articles that summarize DED, disease symptoms, causes and treatment approaches. Nanocarrier systems show a great promise to revolutionize drug delivery in DED, offering many advantages such as site specific and sustained delivery of therapeutic agents. Very few review articles summarize the findings on the use of nanotherapeutics in DED. In this review, we have exclusively discussed the preclinical and clinical studies of nanotherapeutics in DED therapy. This information will be attractive to both academic and pharmaceutical industry researchers working in DED therapeutics.

Abstract
Ocular inflammation is one of the most common symptom of eye disorders and diseases. The therapeutic management of this inflammation must be rapid and effective in order to avoid deleterious effects for the eye and the vision. Steroidal (SAID) and non-steroidal (NSAID) anti-inflammatory drugs and immunosuppressive agents have been shown to be effective in treating inflammation of the ocular surface of the eye by topical administration. However, it is well established that the anatomical and physiological ocular barriers are limiting factors for drug penetration. In addition, such drugs are generally characterized by a very low aqueous solubility, resulting in low bioavailability as only 1% to 5% of the applied drug permeates the cornea. The present review gives an updated insight on the conventional formulations used in the treatment of ocular inflammation, i.e., ointments, eye drops, solutions, suspensions, gels, and emulsions, based on the commercial products available on the US, European, and French markets. Additionally, sophisticated formulations and innovative ocular drug delivery systems will be discussed. Promising results are presented with micro- and nanoparticulated systems, or combined strategies with polymers and colloidal systems, which offer a synergy in bioavailability and sustained release. Finally, different tools allowing the physical characterization of all these delivery systems, as well as in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo evaluations, will be considered with regards to the safety, the tolerance, and the efficiency of the drug products.
