Abstract
Pulmonary delivery of antibiotics for the treatment of tuberculosis provides several benefits compared to conventional oral and parenteral administration. API-loaded particles delivered directly to alveolar macrophages, where Mycobacterium tuberculosis resides, can reduce the required dose and decrease the severe side effects of conventional treatment. In this work, lipid-microparticles loaded with rifampicin were engineered via spray-drying to be administered as a carrier-free dry powder for inhalation. Although, it is well-known that spray-drying of lipid-based excipients is strongly limited, a completely lipid-based formulation using diglycerol full ester of behenic acid was produced. The solid state of the lipid, providing high melting temperature, absence of polymorphism and monophasic crystallization, led to high yield of spray-dried particles (83%). Inhalable particles of mass median aerodynamic diameter of 2.36 µm, median geometric size of 2.05 µm, and negative surface (-50.03 mV) were engineered. Such attributes were defined for deep lung deposition and targeted delivery of antibiotics to alveolar macrophages. Superior aerodynamic performance as carrier-free DPI was associated to a high fine particle fraction of 79.5 %. No in vitro cytotoxic effects were found after exposing epithelial cell lines and alveolar macrophages. In vitro uptake of particles into alveolar macrophages indicated the efficiency of their targeted delivery. The use of highly processable and safe lipid-based excipients for particle engineering via spray-drying can extend the availability of materials for functionalized applications for pulmonary delivery.

Abstract
Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) with unfavorable physicochemical properties and stability present a significant challenge during their processing into final dosage forms. Cocrystallization of such APIs with suitable coformers is an efficient approach to mitigate the solubility and stability concerns. A considerable number of cocrystal-based products are currently being marketed and show an upward trend. However, to improve the API properties by cocrystallization, coformer selection plays a paramount role. Selection of suitable coformers not only improves the drug’s physicochemical properties but also improves the therapeutic effectiveness and reduces side effects. Numerous coformers have been used till date to prepare pharmaceutically acceptable cocrystals. The carboxylic acid-based coformers, such as fumaric acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, and citric acid, are the most commonly used coformers in the currently marketed cocrystal-based products. Carboxylic acid-based coformers are capable of forming the hydrogen bond and contain smaller carbon chain with the APIs. This review summarizes the role of coformers in improving the physicochemical and pharmaceutical properties of APIs, and deeply explains the utility of afore-mentioned coformers in API cocrystal formation. The review concludes with a brief discussion on the patentability and regulatory issues related to pharmaceutical cocrystals.

Int J Pharm 2023; 635:122729. [PMID: 36803923 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.122729] [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: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/12/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023]
Abstract
In this study we present pH-responsive rifampicin (RIF) microparticles comprising lecithin and a biodegradable hydrophobic polymer, polyethylene sebacate (PES), to achieve high intramacrophage delivery and enhanced antitubercular efficacy. PES and PES-lecithin combination microparticles (PL MPs) prepared by single step precipitation revealed average size of 1.5 to 2.7 µm, entrapment efficiency ∼ 60 %, drug loading 12-15 % and negative zeta potential. Increase in lecithin concentration enhanced hydrophilicity. PES MPs demonstrated faster release in simulated lung fluid pH 7.4, while lecithin MPs facilitated faster and concentration dependent release in acidic artificial lysosomal fluid (ALF) pH 4.5 due to swelling and destabilization confirmed by TEM. PES and PL (1:2) MPs exhibited comparable macrophage uptake which was ∼ 5-fold superior than free RIF, in the RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Confocal microscopy depicted intensified accumulation of the MPs in the lysosomal compartment, with augmented release of coumarin dye from the PL MPs, confirming pH-triggered increased intracellular release. Although, PES MPs and PL (1:2) MPs displayed comparable and high macrophage uptake, antitubercular efficacy against macrophage internalised M. tuberculosis was significantly higher with PL (1:2) MPs. This suggested great promise of the pH-sensitive PL (1:2) MPs for enhanced antitubercular efficacy.

Promising bioactive properties of quercetin for potential food applications and health benefits: A review. Front Nutr 2022; 9:999752. [PMID: 36532555 PMCID: PMC9748429 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.999752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 07/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Naturally occurring phytochemicals with promising biological properties are quercetin and its derivatives. Quercetin has been thoroughly studied for its antidiabetic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-Alzheimer's, anti-arthritic, antioxidant, cardiovascular, and wound-healing properties. Anticancer activity of quercetin against cancer cell lines has also recently been revealed. The majority of the Western diet contains quercetin and its derivatives, therefore consuming them as part of a meal or as a food supplement may be sufficient for people to take advantage of their preventive effects. Bioavailability-based drug-delivery systems of quercetin have been heavily studied. Fruits, seeds, vegetables, bracken fern, coffee, tea, and other plants all contain quercetin, as do natural colors. One naturally occurring antioxidant is quercetin, whose anticancer effects have been discussed in detail. It has several properties that could make it an effective anti-cancer agent. Numerous researches have shown that quercetin plays a substantial part in the suppression of cancer cells in the breast, colon, prostate, ovary, endometrial, and lung tumors. The current study includes a concise explanation of quercetin's action mechanism and potential health applications.
