Life (Basel) 2023; 13:life13051099. [PMID: 37240744 DOI: 10.3390/life13051099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
A drug's aqueous solubility is defined as the ability to dissolve in a particular solvent, and it is currently a major hurdle in bringing new drug molecules to the market. According to some estimates, up to 40% of commercialized products and 70-90% of drug candidates in the development stage are poorly soluble, which results in low bioavailability, diminished therapeutic effects, and dosage escalation. Because of this, solubility must be taken into consideration when developing and fabricating pharmaceutical products. To date, a number of approaches have been investigated to address the problem of poor solubility. This review article attempts to summarize several conventional methods utilized to increase the solubility of poorly soluble drugs. These methods include the principles of physical and chemical approaches such as particle size reduction, solid dispersion, supercritical fluid technology, cryogenic technology, inclusion complex formation techniques, and floating granules. It includes structural modification (i.e., prodrug, salt formation, co-crystallization, use of co-solvents, hydrotrophy, polymorphs, amorphous solid dispersions, and pH variation). Various nanotechnological approaches such as liposomes, nanoparticles, dendrimers, micelles, metal organic frameworks, nanogels, nanoemulsions, nanosuspension, carbon nanotubes, and so forth have also been widely investigated for solubility enhancement. All these approaches have brought forward the enhancement of the bioavailability of orally administered drugs by improving the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. However, the solubility issues have not been completely resolved, owing to several challenges associated with current approaches, such as reproducibility in large scale production. Considering that there is no universal approach for solving solubility issues, more research is needed to simplify the existing technologies, which could increase the number of commercially available products employing these techniques.

Abstract
Purpose. The biopharmaceutics classification system places rosuvastatin calcium in class II has a low and fluctuating oral bioavailability. The research focus is to maximize rosuvastatin calcium solubility in water and dissolution rate by employing and combining various hydrotropic agents to make a solid dispersion using solvent evaporation techniques. Methodology. The experimental study was conducted at Duhok University, College of Pharmacy. Initially, assess rosuvastatin’s solubility in hydrotropic agents including urea, mannitol, citric acid, sodium benzoate, and sodium salicylate at concentrations of 10, 20, 30, and 40% w/v. Then, various ratios of 2 and 3 hydrotropic agents were employed to reduce the concentration of each hydrotropic agent. By using a solvent evaporation procedure, solid dispersions were made. The solid dispersion powders underwent evaluation for their percentage drug content, percentage yield, solubility, dissolution test, XRD, DSC, SEM, and FTIR. For statistical analysis, GraphPad InStat Demo software was used to conduct a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results. In comparison to the pure drug, the solubility of hydrotropic solid dispersions and physical mixtures of rosuvastatin with a combination of hydrotropic agents (sodium salicylate, sodium benzoate, and urea) in the ratio of 13.33 for each increased in all formulations significantly, and all manufactured formulations’ drug release ranged from 98.83 to 104.78%, indicating a noticeably higher dissolution rate. Conclusion. The concept of mixed hydrotropic solid dispersion was shown to be an original, risk-free, and cost-effective method for enhancing the bioavailability of drugs that have a low degree of solubility in water.

Abstract
Hyperlipidemia is the primary cause of heart disorders and has been manifested as the condition with remarkable higher levels of very-low-density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins, intermediate-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and cholesterol in blood circulation. Genetic causes or systemic metabolic illnesses like diabetes mellitus, increased alcohol consumption, hypothyroidism, and primary biliary cirrhosis are several reasons behind development of hyperlipidemia. Higher levels of lipids and lipoproteins in plasma are responsible for various health disorders in human body like occlusion of blood vessels, acute pancreatitis, and reduced artery lumen elasticity. Both primary and secondary prophylaxis of heart disease can be achieved through combination of pharmacologic therapy with therapeutic lifestyle adjustments. Statins which belongs to HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors are preferred for primary prevention of hyperlipidemia particularly for individuals at higher risk of development of heart disease. This review discusses the recent advancements and outcomes of nanoparticle drug carriers for statins in the therapy of hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
Spray drying is an important technology that is fast, simple, reproducible, and scalable. It has a wide application range, that is, in food, chemicals, and encapsulation of pharmaceuticals. The technology can be divided into conventional spray drying and nano spray drying. The key advantage of nano spray drying is the production of drug-loaded nanosized particles for various drug delivery applications. The recent developments in nano spray dryer technology and the market launch of the Nano Spray Dryer B-90 by Büchi Labortechnik AG in 2009 enabled the production of submicron spray-dried particles. This review focuses on nanosized drug delivery systems intended for oral administration produced by nano spray drying. First, the nano spray drying concept, the basic technologies implemented in the equipment, and the effects of the various process parameters on the final dry submicron powder properties are presented. Then, the topics of new formulation strategies of oral drugs are highlighted with examples that have entered the research literature in recent years. Next, the subjects of direct conversion of poorly water-soluble drugs, encapsulation of drugs, and drying of preformed nanoparticles are considered. Finally, topics such as morphology, particle size, size distribution, surface analysis, bioavailability, drug release, release kinetics, and solid-state characterization (by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance) of oral drug delivery systems produced by nano spray drying are discussed. The review attempts to provide a comprehensive knowledge base with current literature and foresight to researchers working in the field of pharmaceutical technology and nanotechnology and especially in the field of nano spray drying.

Abstract
In the present research work, surface-modified nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) with chitosan (CH) were prepared to improve the therapeutic efficacy of piperine (PP). NLCs were developed and optimized (CH-PP-NLCs-opt) by design expert software and the selected NLCs surface was coated with chitosan (0.2% w/v). CH-PP-NLCs-opt have shown a particle size of 149.34 ± 4.54 nm and entrapment efficiency of 80.65 ± 1.23%. The results of the solid-state characterization study exhibited that PP enclosed in lipids and present amorphous form. It might be due to the nanoparticle size of NLCs. The drug release study revealed PP-NLCs-opt and CH-PP-NLCs-opt exhibited significant (P < 0.05) difference in PP release (88.87 ± 5.23% and 76.34 ± 4.54%) as compared to pure PP (19.02 ± 2.87%). CH-PP-NLCs-opt exhibited strong bioadhesion than PP-NLCs-opt which has a positive influence the drug permeation and absorption. CH-PP-NLCs-opt showed higher permeation (1083.34 ± 34.15 μg/ cm2) than pure PP (106.65 ± 15.44 μg/cm2) and PP-NLCs-opt (732.45 ± 28.56 μg/ cm2). The significantly enhanced bioavailability of PP was observed from CH-PP-NLCs-opt (3.76- and 1.21-fold) than PP-dispersion and PP-NLCs-opt. The diabetes was induced in rats by a single intraperitoneal administration of streptozotocin (STZ, 40 mg/kg, citrate buffer pH 4.5), and results revealed that PP-NLCs-opt and CH-PP-NLCs-opt reduce the blood glucose level (28.26% and 36.52% respectively) as compared to PP-dispersion (10.87%). It also helps to maintain the altered biochemical parameters. In conclusion, CH-PP-NLC can be a novel oral nanocarrier for the management of diabetes.

Abstract
Oral administration is the most popular and patient-compliant route for drug delivery, though it raises great challenges due to the involvement of the gastro-intestine (GI) system and the drug bioavailability. Drug bioavailability is directly related to its ability to dissolve, transport and/or absorb through the physiological environment. A great number of drugs are characterized with low water solubility due to their hydrophobic nature, thus limiting their oral bioavailability and clinical use. Therefore, new strategies aiming to provide a protective shell through the GI system and improve drug solubility and permeability in the intestine were developed to overcome this limitation. Lipid-based systems have been proposed as good candidates for such a task owing to their hydrophobic nature which allows high drug loading, drug micellization ability during intestinal digestion due to the lipid content, and the vehicle physical protective environment. The use of edible lipids with high biocompatibility paves the bench-to-bedside translation. Four main types of structured lipid-based drug delivery systems differing in the physical state of the lipid phase have been described in the literature, namely emulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers, and oleogel-based particles. The current review provides a comprehensive overview of the different structured edible lipid-based oral delivery systems investigated up to date and emphasizes the contribution of each system component to the delivery performance, and the oral delivery path of lipids.

Abstract
Rose oxide (RO) is a monoterpene found in rose oil fragrances. This monoterpene has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory activity, however, little is known regarding its pharmacological activity. The present study was carried out to evaluate its antidepressant action and possible mechanisms of action. Analysis of ADMET pharmacokinetic properties (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) of rose oxide was performed by computational prediction analysis. Behavioral tests were performed to assess the interaction between rose oxide and the central nervous system and antidepressant effect that includes: forced swim test (FST), tail suspension test (TST), open field test (OFT) and rota-rod test. The results of pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties indicate that rose oxide could be used orally, since it has good intestinal absorption as well as pharmacological and toxicological properties that can be similar to pharmacological compounds (regular hepatic metabolism and low toxicity). Treatment with 50 mg/kg of rose oxide was able to decrease the immobility time of animals not affected by FST and TST and was not able to alter the motor activity of the OFT and rota-rod test, suggesting modulation and antidepressant activity. Docking data suggest that rose oxide can bind to receptors in the serotonergic pathway. The results described here suggest that rose oxide has antidepressant activity, modulating the serotonergic pathway.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to study the effect of marketed tablet (Crestor®) powder suspension (MTPS) and nanoparticle formulation of rosuvastatin calcium (RC) on the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters in hyperlipidemia rats. The hyperlipidemia is induced by intraperitoneal injection of Triton-X-100 in 0.9 %w/v saline solution. The marketed tablet was dispersed into suspension. The RC loaded nanoparticles (RC-NPs) are prepared by homogenization method. The prepared RC-NP formulation was characterized for size, drug excipient compatibility and crystallization by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), morphology by SEM, stability at room temperature, in-vitro dissolution and in-situ absorption in rats. Further, the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies were conducted in hyperlipidemia rats. The size of the RC-NP formulation was found to be 183.4 ± 4.5 nm and to be nearly spherical by SEM. DSC studies revealed that no interaction and RC converted to amorphous form in RC-NP formulation. RC-NP formulation was physically and chemically stable over two months at room temperature. The drug release was found to be 25.8 ± 2.5 and 89.96 ± 2.8 % in five mins, respectively from MTPS and RC-NP formulations. The Peff of MTPS and NP of RC was 1.8 ± 0.2 × 10-5 and 2.7 ± 0.3 × 10-5 cm/s, respectively. From the PK studies, the enhancement in the oral bioavailability was found to be 2.4-folds when compared to MTPS formulation and statistically significant (p < 0.05). PD study of RC-NP formulation in hyperlipidemic rats exhibited decrease in lipid profile for 24 h, while MTPS exhibited a decrease in lipid profile for 12 h. Therefore, the results conclusively demonstrate the nanoparticles of RC showed significant enhancement in the PK and PD parameters.

Abstract
In this study, we sought to overcome the poor solubility and bioavailability of bismethoxycurcumin (BDMC) by fabricating a BDMC-loaded self micro-emulsifying system (BDMC-SMEDDS). Solubility and compatibility tests, pseudo-ternary phase diagrams (PTPDs) as well as d-optimal concept was applied to design the formulation. The assessment of the prepared BDMC-SMEDDS in-vitro mainly included droplet size (DS) and entrapment efficiency (EE) determination, morphology, drug release and stability testing. Besides, the in vivo behavior was also evaluated after oral administration of BDMC-SMEDDS to rats. The optimal formulation was found to compose of Kolliphor EL (K-EL, emulsifier, 645.3 mg), PEG 400 (co-emulsifier, 147.2 mg), ethyl oleate (EO, oil, 207.5 mg) and BDMC (50 mg). The BDMC-SMEDDS with satisfactory stability had a mean size of 21.25 ± 3.23 nm and EE of 98.31 ± 0.32%. Roughly 70% of BDMC was released from BDMC-SMEDDS within 84 h compared with <20% from the free BDMC. More importantly, the in-vivo behavior of BDMC-SMEDDS showed that the AUC(0-12h) and plasma concentration of BDMC increased substantially as compared to the free BDMC. Altogether, BDMC-SMEDDS has the potential to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of BDMC and could be applied in the clinics.

Abstract
Despite being the most effective hypolipidemic agent, poor physicochemical properties of Rosuvastatin calcium (RCa) remain challenging obstacles in the development of pharmaceutical dosage forms. Inclusion complexes (ICs) of RCa with cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives; methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (M-β-CD) and sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD; Captisol®) were formulated by kneading and freeze-drying (lyophilization) methods. Pysicochemical properties of ICs were evaluated by SEM, DSC, XRD, FT-IR, 1H-NMR analyses. Entrapment efficiency (EE), water solubility, in vitro release analyses were also performed. Safety and efficacy of the ICs were analyzed by cytotoxicity and permeation studies on Caco-2 cell lines. Both CDs indicated AL type phase solubility diagrams showing that [1:1] molar ratio. Apparent stability constants (K1:1) were found to be 60.93 M-1 for M-β-CD and 158.07 M-1 for Captisol®. High EE in the range of 93.50-105.40% was achieved. Molar solubility of RCa was increased 3.7- and 4.1-fold with M-β-CD and Captisol® ICs, respectively. In vitro release analyses have indicated the equivalence of dissolution profiles for M-β-CD and Captisol® based ICs to that of pure RCa (f2 > 50). Cytotoxicity studies on Caco-2 cell lines have revealed the safety of ICs for oral use. Permeability studies demonstrated that selected lyophilized F6 formulation has shown the best permeation rate with Papp value of 3.08 × 10-7 cm·s-1. Considering greater water solubility, lower toxicity, high efficiency of complexation as well as, RCa-like permeability and in vitro release behavior at pH 6.8; Captisol® based lyophilized F6 formulation was selected as the best IC to be used in oral dosage forms of RCa.
