Abstract
Breast cancer is reported as one of the most prevalent non-cutaneous malignancies in women. Venetoclax (VEN) is an approved BCl-2 inhibitor for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia with very limited oral bioavailability and exhibits an enormous impact on breast cancer. In the current investigation, venetoclax-loaded self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (VEN-SNEDDS) were designed and fabricated to improve the aqueous solubility, permeability, and anticancer efficacy of VEN. Various surface-active parameters of the reconstituted SNEDDS were determined to scrutinize the performance of the selected surfactant mixture. Central composite design (CCD) was used to optimize the VEN-SNEDDS. The globule size of reconstituted VEN-SNEDDS was 71.3 ± 2.8 nm with a polydispersity index of 0.113 ± 0.01. VEN-SNEDDS displayed approximately 3-4 fold, 6-7 fold, and 5-6 fold reduced IC50 as compared to free VEN in MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, and T47 D cells, respectively. VEN-SNEDDS showed greater cellular uptake, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species generation, and higher BAX/BCL2 ratio with decreased caspase 3 and 8 and BCL-2 levels in the MDA-MB-231 cells compared to pure VEN. VEN-SNEDDS exhibited approximately fivefold enhancement in Cmax and an improved oral bioavailability compared to VEN suspension in in vivo pharmacokinetic studies.

Solid Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery Systems of Furosemide: In Vivo Proof of Concept for Enhanced Predictable Therapeutic Response. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:500. [PMID: 38675460 PMCID: PMC11053802 DOI: 10.3390/ph17040500] [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: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Liquid self-nano emulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) of furosemide (FSM) have been explored as a potential solution for enhancing solubility and permeability but are associated with rapid emulsification, spontaneous drug release, and poor in vivo correlation. To overcome the shortcoming, this study aimed to develop liquid and solid self-emulsifying drug delivery systems for FSM, compare formulation dynamics, continue in vivo therapeutic efficacy, and investigate the advantages of solidification. For this purpose, liquid SNEDDS (L-SEDDS-FSM) were formed using oleic acid as an oil, chremophore EL, Tween 80, Tween 20 as a surfactant, and PEG 400 as a co-surfactant containing 53 mg/mL FSM. At the same time, solid SNEDDS (S-SEDDS-FSM) was developed by adsorbing liquid SNEDDS onto microcrystalline cellulose in a 1:1 ratio. Both formulations were evaluated for size, zeta potential, lipase degradation, and drug release. Moreover, in vivo diuretic studies regarding urine volume were carried out in mice to investigate the therapeutic responses of liquid and solid SNEDDS formulations. After dilution, L-SEDDS-FSM showed a mean droplet size of 115 ± 4.5 nm, while S-SEDDS-FSM depicted 116 ± 2.6 nm and zeta potentials of -5.4 ± 0.55 and -6.22 ± 1.2, respectively. S-SEDDS-FSM showed 1.8-fold reduced degradation by lipase enzymes in comparison to L-SEDDS-FSM. S-SEDDS-FSM demonstrated a sustained drug release pattern, releasing 63% of the drug over 180 min, in contrast to L-SEDDS-FSM, exhibiting 90% spontaneous drug release within 30 min. L-SEDDS-FSM exhibited a rapid upsurge in urine output (1550 ± 56 μL) compared to S-SEDDS-FSM, showing gradual urine output (969 ± 29 μL) till the 4th h of the study, providing sustained urine output yet a predictable therapeutic response. The solidification of SNEDDS effectively addresses challenges associated with spontaneous drug release and precipitation observed in liquid SNEDDS, highlighting the potential benefits of solid SNEDDS in improving the therapeutic response of furosemide.

A Quality by Design Approach for Developing SNEDDS Loaded with Vemurafenib for Enhanced Oral Bioavailability. AAPS PharmSciTech 2024; 25:14.

Abstract
Vemurafenib (VMF) is a practically insoluble (< 0.1 μg/mL) and least bioavailable (1%) drug. To enhance its oral bioavailability and solubility, we formulated a reliable self-nano emulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS). A Quality by Design (QbD) approach was used to optimize the ratio of Capryol 90, Tween 80, and Transcutol HP. VMF-loaded SNEDDS was characterized for its size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, drug content, and transmittance. The in vitro release profile of the drug loaded in SNEDDS was compared to the free drug in two media, pH 6.8 and 1.2, and the data obtained were analyzed with different mathematical models. A reverse-phase ultra-pressure liquid chromatography (UPLC) technique with high sensitivity and selectivity was developed and validated for the quantification of VMF in analytical and bioanalytical samples. Dissolution efficiency for SNEDDS was estimated using different models, which proved that the developed novel SNEDDS formulation had a better in vitro dissolution profile than the free drug. A 2.13-fold enhanced oral bioavailability of VMF-loaded SNEDDS compared to the free drug demonstrates the superiority of the developed formulation. This work thus presents an overview of VMF-loaded SNEDDS as a promising alternative to improve the oral bioavailability of the drug.

Abstract
Multi-drug resistant (MDR) bactearial strains have posed serious health issues, thus leading to a significant increase in mortality, morbidity, and the expensive treatment of infections. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), comprising metal ions and a variety of organic ligands, have been employed as an effective drug deliveryy vehicle due to their low toxicity, biodegradability, higher structural integrity and diverse surface functionalities. Polydopamine (PDA) is a versatile biocompatible polymer with several interesting properties, including the ability to adhere to biological surfaces. As a result, modifying drug delivery vehicles with PDA has the potential to improve their antimicrobial properties. This work describes the preparation of PDA-coated Zn-MOFs for improving curcumin's antibacterial properties against S. aureus and E. coli. Powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD), FT-IR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and DLS were utilized to characterize PDA-coated Zn-MOFs. The curcumin loading and in vitro release of the prepared MOFs were also examined. Finally, the MOFs were tested for bactericidal ability against E. coli and S. aureus using an anti-bacterial assay and surface morphological analysis. Smaller size MOFs were capable of loading and releasing curcumin. The findings showed that as curcumin was encapsulated into PDA-coated MOFs, its bactericidal potential was significantly enhanced, and the findings were further supported by SEM which indicated the complete morphological distortion of the bacteria after treatment with PDA-Cur-Zn-MOFs. These studies clearly indicate that the PDA-Cur-Zn-MOFs developed in this study are extremely promising for long-term release of drugs to treat a wide range of microbial infections.

RSC Adv 2023; 13:27912-27922.

Abstract
In this study holmium oxide nanoparticles (Ho2O3 NPs) are fabricated using Hyphaene thebaica extracts as a bioreductant. The XRD pattern of HT-Ho2O3 NPs (product from phyto-reduction) suggested that the nanoparticles are crystalline with no impurities. Scherrer approximation revealed grain sizes of ∼10 nm. The HR-TEM revealed HT-Ho2O3 NPs possessed a quasi-spherical morphology complemented by SEM and the particle sizes were in the range of 6-12 nm. The infrared spectra revealed characteristic Ho-O bonding at ∼603 cm-1. Raman spectra indicated five main peaks positioned at 156 cm-1, 214 cm-1, 328 cm-1, 379 cm-1 and 607 cm-1. Eg (optical bandgap) was found to be 5.1 eV. PL spectra indicated two major peaks at 415 nm and 607 nm. EDS spectra confirmed the elemental presence of holmium (Ho). Spotty rings were obtained during the SAED measurement which indicated crystallinity of HT-Ho2O3 NPs. The HT-Ho2O3 NPs were further analyzed for their antioxidant, anti-angiogenic and cytotoxic properties. The antioxidant potential was moderate i.e., 43.40 ± 0.96% at 1000 μg mL-1 which decreased in a dose dependent manner. Brine shrimp lethality was highest at 1000 μg mL-1 with the LC50 320.4 μg mL-1. Moderate anti-angiogenic potential was observed using in ova CAM assay. MTT bioassay revealed that the HT-Ho2O3 NPs inhibited the 3T3 cells (IC50 67.9 μg mL-1), however, no significant inhibition was observed against MCF-7 cells. α-Amylase and β-glucosidase inhibition revealed that the HT-Ho2O3 NPs can be of use in controlling blood glucose levels. Overall, it can be concluded that biosynthesis using aqueous extracts can be a suitable alternative in finding ecofriendly paradigms for the synthesis of nanoparticles. We suggest extended research into the bioreduced Ho2O3 NPs for establishing their biomedical potential and toxicity.

[PMID: 37663396 PMCID: PMC10470285 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2023.103778] [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: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Pioglitazone (PGL) is an effective insulin sensitizer, however, side effects such as accumulation of subcutaneous fat, edema, and weight gain as well as poor oral bioavailability limit its therapeutic potential for oral delivery. Recent studies have shown that combination of both, PGL and fish oil significantly reduce fasting plasma glucose, improve insulin resistance, and mitigate pioglitazone-induced subcutaneous fat accumulation and weight gain. Nevertheless, developing an effective oral drug delivery system for administration of both medications have not been explored yet. Thus, this study aimed to develop a self-micro emulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) for the simultaneous oral administration of PGL and fish oil. SMEDDS was developed using concentrated fish oil,Tween® 80, and Transcutol HP and optimized by central composite design (CCD). The reconstituted, optimized PGL-SMEDDS exhibited a globule size of 142 nm, a PDI of 0.232, and a zeta potential of -20.9 mV. The in-vitro drug release study of the PGL-SMEDDS showed a first-order model kinetic release and demonstrated remarkable 15-fold enhancement compared to PGL suspension. Additionally, following oral administration in fasting albino Wistar rats, PGL-SMEDDS exhibited 3.4-fold and 1.4-fold enhancements in the AUC0-24h compared to PGL suspension and PGL marketed product. The accelerated stability testing showed that the optimized SMEDDS formulation was stable over a three-month storage period. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that the developed fish oil-based SMEDDS for PGL could serve as effective nanoplatforms for the oral delivery of PGL, warranting future studies to explore its synergistic therapeutic potential in rats.

Abstract
Jet milling is a common technique in ultrafine powder preparation field. It has never been used to design delivery systems. Cannabidiol (CBD) is an important cannabinoid of hemp but poor aqueous solubility limited its applications. In this study, solid dispersion (SD) technique was combined with cyclodextrin complexation technique, and jet milling was used for the first time to prepare SDs for improving CBD solubility. Different characterizations demonstrated that the dispersion effect and complexation structure of CBD SD3 prepared by jet milling were comparable to that of CBD SD2 prepared by spray drying (a common solution-based method), and were better than that of CBD SD1 prepared by cogrinding. The water solubility of CBD was increased to 20.902 μg/mL (909-fold) in CBD SD3. Besides, the antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity to tumor cells of CBD were enhanced by dispersion. This work indicated that jet milling, as a new technique with low cost and excellent applicability, could be further developed for the delivery of food functional factors or bioactive molecules.

Abstract
PURPOSE Iloperidone (IP) is an antipsychotic drug which belongs to Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) II exhibiting poor aqueous solubility. The current investigation explores the possibility of enhancement of solubility and dissolution characteristics of IP by formulation of liquid self-nano emulsifying drug delivery system (L-SNEDDS) utilizing Box-Behnken Design (BBD) and desirability function. METHODS The oils, surfactants and co-surfactants used in the study were selected based on solubility of the drug and their emulsification ability. Optimization of the formulation was performed using BBD by employing four response variables such as globule size (nm), percentage transmittance (%), self-emulsification time (sec) and percent drug released in 15min. 2D contour plots and 3D response surface plots were constructed using Design Expert software. RESULTS The developed optimal L-SNEDDS of IP through BBD approach resulted in improvement of solubility and dissolution rate as compared with the pure drug. Based on desirability function, optimized formulation was prepared and was assessed for response variables (globule size, percentage transmittance, self-emulsification time and percent drug dissolved in 15min). The characterization studies revealed droplet size to be 21.80±2.41nm, 99.584±0.65% transmittance, 24.43±2.12sec emulsification time and 95.31±1.57% cumulative drug release in 15min. CONCLUSION The results conclude the potentiality of prepared L-SNEDDS in improving solubility and dissolution rate of IP.

Int J Pharm 2022; 626:122163. [PMID: 36067920 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.122163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2022] [Revised: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 08/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Fascioliasis, a common parasitic infection observed in the pediatric patient population, is a leading cause of concern in countries with poor/unhealthy water resources. To treat this condition first line agent such as triclabendazole (TBZ) has been the choice therapy. However, there is a major hurdle in exploiting TBZ. Characterized with poor aqueous solubility (0.1 mg/L), its solubility has been the rate limiting factor, rendering requirement of large doses of TBZ. To address the same, the focus of the current study was to develop a self-nano emulsifying drug delivery system (TBZ-SNEDDS) for TBZ and developing dose customizable pediatric dispersible color-coded tablets. TBZ-SNEDDS were successfully formulated by using Kolliphor®EL, as a surfactant, a lipid phase of medium chain triglyceride and α-tocopherol in the ratio of (1:1), with dimethylacetamide (DMA) as a solvent. It was observed during in vitro release studies that there was a significant effect of fed conditions on the rate of TBZ release from the formulation. greater than 85 % TBZ was observed to release in fed conditions in comparison to fasted conditions. As currently TBZ is prescribed on a weight-based dosage regimen, it is imperative to develop a dose-customizable fast dissolving pediatric formulation. Hence, TBZ-SNEDDS could prove to be pivotal in helping countless children around the world in desperate conditions to get cheap yet effective therapy.

Abstract
A cephalexin (CEP) self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) was developed in this study to improve the drug’s oral administration. The CEP-SNEDDS was made utilizing an aqueous titration method employing Lauroglycol 90, Poloxamer 188, and Transcutol-HP. Box-Behnken design (BBD) with three factors at three levels was used for optimization, and their impacts on globule size (nm), transmittance (percent), and emulsification time (s) were assessed. The optimized formulation (Opt-F3) was further tested for zeta potential, refractive index, percent transmittance, thermodynamic stability, in-vitro release, ex vivo permeability, antibacterial activity, and bioavailability. The chosen formulation (Opt-F3) had a globule size of 87.25 ± 3.16 nm, PDI of 0.25, zeta potential of −24.37 mV, self-emulsification duration of 52 ± 1.7 s, and percentage transmittance of 99.13 ± 1.5%, viscosity of 96.26 ± 2.72 cp, and refractive index of 1.29 ± 0.1. It showed a sustained release profile (94.28 ± 5.92 percent in 24 h). The Opt-F3 formulation had 3.95 times the permeability of CEP-dispersion. In comparison to CEP-dispersion, it also demonstrated greater antibacterial efficacy against tested Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. The oral bioavailability of Opt-F3 is 3.48 times higher than that of CEP-dispersion, according to an in-vivo investigation. It has been determined that the prepared CEP-SNEDDS may be an advantageous carrier for CEP delivery.

Abstract
The ever-growing threat of new and existing infectious diseases in combination with antimicrobial resistance requires the need for innovative and effective forms of drug delivery. Optimal drug delivery systems for existing and newly developed antimicrobials can enhance drug bioavailability, enable site-specific drug targeting, and overcome current limitations of drug formulations such as short elimination half-lives, poor drug solubility, and undesirable side effects. Nanoemulsions (NE) consist of nanometer-sized droplets stabilized by emulsifiers and are typically more stable and permeable due to their smaller particle sizes and higher surface area compared to conventional emulsions. NE have been identified as a promising means of antimicrobial delivery due to their intrinsic antimicrobial properties, ability to increase drug solubility, stability, bioavailability, organ and cellular targeting potentials, capability of targeting biofilms, and potential to overcome antimicrobial resistance. Herein, we discuss non-drug loaded essential oil-based NE that can confer antimicrobial actions through predominantly physical or biochemical mechanisms without drug payloads. We also describe drug-loaded NE for enhanced antimicrobial efficacy by augmenting the potency of existing antimicrobials. We highlight the versatility of NE to be administered through multiple different routes (oral, parenteral, dermal, transdermal, pulmonary, nasal, ocular, and rectal). We summarize recent advances in the clinical translation of antimicrobial NE and shed light on future development of effective antimicrobial therapy to combat infectious diseases.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to use hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) as a novel carrier in solid SNEDDS and solid dispersions to enhance the solubility and oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble dexibuprofen. The novel dexibuprofen-loaded solid SNEDDS was composed of dexibuprofen, corn oil, polysorbate 80, Cremophor® EL, and HP-β-CD at a weight ratio of 45/35/50/15/100. This solid SNEDDS spontaneously formed a nano-emulsion with a size of approximately 120 nm. Unlike the conventional solid SNEDDS prepared with colloidal silica as a carrier, this dexibuprofen-loaded solid SNEDDS exhibited a spherical structure. Similar to the dexibuprofen-loaded solid dispersion prepared with HP-β-CD, the transformation of the crystalline drug to an amorphous state with no molecular interactions were observed in the solid SNEDDS. Compared to the solid dispersion and dexibuprofen powder, solid SNEDDS significantly enhanced drug solubility and AUC. Therefore, HP-β-CD is a novel potential carrier in SNEDDS for improving the oral bioavailability of dexibuprofen.

Abstract
The role of mushroom polysaccharides and probiotics as pharmaceutical excipients for development of nanocarriers has never been explored. In the present study an attempt has been made to explore Ganoderma lucidum extract powder (GLEP) containing polysaccharides and probiotics to convert liquid self nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) into solid free flowing powder. Two lipophilic drugs, curcumin and quercetin were used in this study due to their dissolution rate limited oral bioavailability and poor permeability. These were loaded into liquid SNEDDS by dissolving them into isotropic mixture of Labrafill M1944CS, Capmul MCM, Tween-80 and Transcutol P. The liquid SNEDDS were solidified using probiotics and mushroom polysaccharides as carriers and Aerosil-200 as coating agent. The solidification was carried out using spray drying process. The process and formulation variables for spray drying process of liquid SNEDDS were optimized using Box Behnken Design to attain required powder properties. The release of both drugs from the optimized spray dried (SD) formulation was found to be more than 90%, whereas, it was less than 20% for unprocessed drugs. The results of DSC, PXRD and SEM, showed that the developed L-SNEDDS preconcentrate was successfully loaded onto the porous surface of probiotics, mushroom polysaccharides and Aerosil-200.

Abstract
This current study aims to optimize, characterize, and observe the stability of the self-nano emulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) of propolis extract (PE) for improving the immune response. Optimization of the selected composition of SNEDDS was conducted using a D-optimal mixture design. SNEDDS was prepared by loading 150 mg/mL of PE in oil, surfactant, and cosurfactant phases. The thermodynamic stability test was carried out with phase separation parameters followed by the robustness to dilution and accelerated stability test. The immunostimulant activity was examined in vitro and in vivo by determining the phagocytic activity, cell proliferation, production of nitrite oxide levels of RAW 264.7 cells, phagocytic activity of macrophages, and the number of leukocytes, neutrophils, and lymphocytes. The formula optimization showed that the formula containing Capryol-90, Cremophor RH40, and PEG 400 at a ratio of 30: 34: 36 was optimum. The verification response of the optimum formula with drug loading showed that the transmittance, droplet size, and zeta potential were 96.90 ± 0.00%, 28.7 ± 1.20 nm, and -56.5 ± 2.05 mV, respectively. The thermodynamic stability test and robustness to dilution did not find any separation phase. The accelerated stability test results were classified as stable. The in vitro and in vivo immunostimulant activity test showed that PE-loaded SNEDDS exhibited a higher immunostimulant effect than PE. In conclusion, the optimum and stable composition of PE loaded SNEDDS was found with a simple and accurate method using the D-Optimal mixture design and demonstrated an immunostimulant activity.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CIP), a potent anti-bacterial agent of the fluroquinolone family, shows poor solubility and permeability, thus leading to the development of intracellular pathogens induced multi-drug resistance and biofilms formation. To synergistically improve the biopharmaceutical parameters of CIP, a hyaluronic acid (FDA approved biocompatible polymer) functionalized self-nano emulsifying drug delivery system (HA-CIP-SNEDDS) was designed in the present study. SNEDDS formulations were tested via solubility, droplet size, zeta potential, a polydispersity index, thermodynamic stability, surface morphology, solid-state characterization, drug loading/release, cellular uptake, and biocompatibility. The final (HA-CIP-SNEDDS) formulation exhibited a mean droplet size of 50 nm with the 0.3 poly dispersity index and negative zeta potential (-11.4 mV). HA-based SNEDDS containing CIP showed an improved ability to permeate goat intestinal mucus. After 4 h, CIP-SNEDDS showed a 2-fold and HA-CIP-SNEDDS showed a 4-fold permeation enhancement as compared to the free CIP. Moreover, 80% drug release of HA-CIP-SNEDDS was demonstrated to be superior and sustained for 72 h in comparison to free CIP. However, anti-biofilm activity of HA-CIP-SNEDDS against Salmonella typhi was higher than CIP-SNEDDS and free CIP. HA-CIP-SNEDDS exhibited increased biocompatibility and improved oral pharmacokinetics as compared to free CIP. Taken together, HA-CIP-SNEDDS formulation seems to be a promising agent against Salmonella typhi with a strong targeting potential.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to develop a formulation that combines a phospholipid complex (PC) and self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) to improve the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble resveratrol (RES), called RPC-SMEDDS. Methods: RES-PC (RPC) and RPC-SMEDDS were optimized by orthogonal experiment and central composite design, respectively. The characteristics and mechanism of intestinal absorption were studied by Ussing chamber model. The pharmacokinetics was evaluated in rats. Results: RES was the substrate of MRP2 and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) rather than P-gp. The prepared RPC-SMEDDS prevented the efflux mediated by MRP2 and BCRP and improved the bioavailability of RES. Conclusion: These results suggested that the combination system of PC and SMEDDS was a promising method to improve the oral bioavailability of RES.

Abstract
The current study focuses on the development, characterization, biocompatibility investigation and oral bioavailability evaluation of ceftriaxone (CFT)-loaded lactobionic acid (LBA)-functionalized iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNP-LBA). Atomic force microscopy and dynamic light scattering showed that the developed CFT-loaded MNP-LBA is spherical, with a measured hydrodynamic size of 147 ± 15.9 nm and negative zeta potential values (-35 ± 0.58 mV). Fourier transformed infrared analysis revealed interactions between the nanocarrier and the drug. Nanoparticles showed high drug entrapment efficiencies of 91.5 ± 2.2%, and the drug was released gradually in vitro and shows prolonged in vitro stability using simulated gastrointestinal (GI) fluids. The formulations were found to be highly biocompatible (up to 100 µg/mL) and hemocompatible (up to 1.0 mg/mL). Using an albino rabbit model, the formulation showed a significant enhancement in drug plasma concentration up to 14.46 ± 2.5 µg/mL in comparison with its control (1.96 ± 0.58 µg/mL). Overall, the developed MNP-LBA formulation was found promising for provision of high-drug entrapment, gradual drug release and was appropriate for enhancing the oral delivery of CFT.

Abstract
Current study was aimed to design and develop muco-adhesive self-nano emulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDs) for improved pharmacokinetics of Cefixime (CFX) in rabbits. The components of SNEDDs formulation i.e., cinnamon oil, Tween® 80, and PEG 200 as oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant respectively were selected based on their high solubilizing capability of the drug. SNEDDs formulation was optimized using Design of experiments (D-optimal design) in terms of droplet size, poly dispersity index and zeta potential. The optimized SNEDDs formulation was studied for various parameters like droplet size, morphology, zeta potential, emulsification, optical clarity, thermodynamic stability, GIT stability, and robustness to dilution. CFX was loaded to optimized formulation to form CFX-SNEDDs. Furthermore, acyl-chitosan, a muco-adhesive agent, was added to CFX-SNEDDS to prepare CHT-CFX-SNEDDS. In vitro drug release showed the controlled release behavior reached a maximum value of 70 % at pH 6.8 within 24 h. The droplet size, atomic force microscopy, and optical clarity analysis revealed the formation of nanosized emulsion (156 ± 25 nm) with spherical morphology. Also in vivo pharmacokinetic studies on rabbits showed an increased drug plasma concentration for CHT-CFX-SNEDDs (15 ± 3 μg/mL) and CFX-SNEDDs (9 ± 2 μg/mL) in comparison with control CFX (4 ± 1 μg/mL). The results indicated that the developed CHT-CFX-SNEDDs with an increased degree of solubilization, permeation, and nanosized range emulsion enhance the oral performance of CFX.

Abstract
Sesamin (SSM) is a water-insoluble compound that is easily eliminated by liver metabolism. To improve the solubility and bioavailability of SSM, this study developed and characterized a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) for the oral delivery of SSM and conducted pharmacokinetic assessments. Oil and surfactant materials suitable for SNEDDS preparation were selected on the basis of their saturation solubility at 37 ± 0.5 °C. The mixing ratios of excipients were determined on the basis of their dispersibility, transmittance (%), droplet sizes, and polydispersity index. An SNEDDS (F10) formulation comprising glyceryl trioctanoate, polyoxyethylene castor oil, and Tween 20 at a ratio of 10:10:80 (w/w/w) was the optimal formulation. This formulation maintained over 90% of its contents in different storage environments for 12 weeks. After the self-emulsification of SNEDDS, the SSM dispersed droplet size was 66.4 ± 31.4 nm, intestinal permeability increased by more than three-fold, relative bioavailability increased by approximately 12.9-fold, and absolute bioavailability increased from 0.3% to 4.4%. Accordingly, the developed SNEDDS formulation can preserve SSM's solubility, permeability, and bioavailability. Therefore, this SNEDDS formulation has great potential for the oral administration of SSM, which can enhance its pharmacological application value.

Abstract
In the present study, a water insoluble drug named silybin was encapsulated into self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) following the preparation of silybin-phospholipid complex (SB-PC), then several methods were carried out to characterize SB-PC-SNEDDS and elucidate its mechanisms to improve the oral absorption of SB. Using a dynamic in vitro digestion model, the lipolysis of SB-PC-SNEDDS was proved to be mainly related with the property of its lipid excipients. SB-PC-SNEDDS could significantly enhance the transport of SB across Caco-2 cells, which may partly attribute to the increased cell membrane fluidity and the loss of tight junction according to the analysis results of fluorescence anisotropy of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) and tight junction protein (ZO-1). The result of in situ perfusion showed the intestinal absorption of SB from high to low was SB-PC-SNEDDS, SB-PC, and SB. The extent of lymphatic transport of SB-PC and SB-PC-SNEDDS via the mesenteric duct was 12.2 and 22.7 folds of that of SB, respectively. In the lymph duct cannulated rats, the relative bioavailability (Fr) of SB-PC and SB-PC-SEDDS compared to SB was 1265.9% and 1802.5%, respectively. All the above results provided mechanistic support for oral absorption improvement of water insoluble drugs by the combination of PC and SNEDDS.
