Abstract
Bacterial infections impede the wound healing process and can trigger local or systemic inflammatory responses. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a dressing with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties to promote the healing of infected wounds. In this study, BA/COs/NO-PL/AL hydrogels were obtained by adding brevilin A (BA) camellia oil (CO) submicron emulsion and nitric oxide (NO) to hydrogels consisting of sodium alginate (AL) and Pluronic F127 (PL). The hydrogels were characterized through dynamic viscosity analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and rheology. They were evaluated through anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and wound healing property analyses. The results showed that BA/COs/NO-PL/AL hydrogels were thermo-responsive and had good ex vivo and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity, and they also exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MRPA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). They were able to effectively promote healing of the infected wound model and reduce inflammation and bacterial burden. H&E and Masson's staining showed that BA/COs/NO-PL/AL hydrogels promoted normal epithelial formation and collagen deposition. In conclusion, BA/COs/NO-PL/AL hydrogels are promising candidates for promoting the healing of infected wounds.

Niosome as a promising tool for increasing the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory compounds. EXCLI JOURNAL 2024; 23:212-263.

Abstract
Niosomes are drug delivery systems with widespread applications in pharmaceutical research and the cosmetic industry. Niosomes are vesicles of one or more bilayers made of non-ionic surfactants, cholesterol, and charge inducers. Because of their bilayer characteristics, similar to liposomes, niosomes can be loaded with lipophilic and hydrophilic cargos. Therefore, they are more stable and cheaper in preparation than liposomes. They can be classified into four categories according to their sizes and structures, namely small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs), large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs,), multilamellar vesicles (MLVs), and multivesicular vesicles (MVVs). There are many methods for niosome preparation, such as thin-film hydration, solvent injection, and heating method. The current study focuses on the preparation methods and pharmacological effects of niosomes loaded with natural and chemical anti-inflammatory compounds in kinds of literature during the past decade. We found that most research was carried out to load anti-inflammatory agents like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) into niosome vesicles. The studies revealed that niosomes could improve anti-inflammatory agents' physicochemical properties, including solubility, cellular uptake, stability, encapsulation, drug release and liberation, efficiency, and oral bioavailability or topical absorption.

Abstract
The goal of this experimentation was to increase the cutaneous absorption of venlafaxine HCl (VFX) encapsulated in a niosome (venlasosme) produced by an ultrasonic approach. The impact of the cholesterol:surfactant (Chol:Surf) proportion was examined to modify the venlasosme properties. Photon correlation spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), SEM, DSC, and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy were utilized to investigate the solid-state and morphology of VFX in the venlasosme. The studies revealed that increasing the level of Chol in the venlasosme increased the size of the particles. Alterations in the Chol to surfactant ratios (when Chol decreased from 2.5 to 0%) caused the zeta potential enhancement from 7.37 ± 0.67 to 15.53 ± 1.47 mV. The venlasosme with the highest cholesterol concentration (2.5%) had the highest encapsulation efficiency (approximately 63%). PXRD results revealed that VFX in venlasosme was in the amorphous form. The levels of VFX in the cutaneous layers and the receiver compartment were higher for the venlasosme gel than for VFX simple gel in the cutaneous permeability study and showed no cutaneous irritancy in rats. Furthermore, the venlasosme gel demonstrated significant antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory responses when compared to the control groups (VFX simple gel and diclofenac gel). The topical administration of the venlasosme gel also considerably increased the tail-flick and hot-plate response time when compared to the VFX simple gel, control groups, and diclofenac gel (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that niosomes can improve VFX efficacy as an antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory substance by improving the medicaments delivery to the specified site.

Preclinical and clinical studies to evaluate cutaneous biodistribution, safety and efficacy of UV filters encapsulated in mesoporous silica SBA-15. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2021; 169:113-124. [PMID: 34637918 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2021.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 10/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Innovative technologies have been designed to improve efficacy and safety of chemical UV filters. Encapsulation can enhance efficacy and reduce transdermal permeation and systemic exposure. The aims of this work were (i) to determine the cutaneous biodistribution of avobenzone (AVO), oxybenzone (OXY), and octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC) incorporated in mesoporous silica SBA-15 and (ii) to perform preclinical (in vitro) and (iii) clinical safety studies to demonstrate their innocuity and to evaluate sun protection factor (SPF) in humans. Skin penetration studies showed that deposition of OXY and AVO in porcine and human skin after application of stick formulation with incorporated filters (stick incorporated filters) was significantly lower than from a marketed (non-encapsulated) stick. Cutaneous deposition and transdermal permeation of OXY in and across human skin were 3.8-and 13.4- fold lower, respectively, after application of stick entrapped filters. Biodistribution results showed that encapsulation in SBA-15 decreased AVO and OXY penetration reaching porcine and human dermis. Greater deposition (and permeation) of OXY in porcine skin than in human skin, pointed to the role of follicular transport. Stick incorporated filters had good biocompatibility in vivo and safety profiles, even under sun-exposed conditions. Entrapment of UV filters improved the SPF by 26% and produced the same SPF profile as a marketed stick. Overall, the results showed that SBA-15 enabled safety and efficacy of UV filters to be increased.

Abstract
Lipid nanoparticles (LNs) are traditional systems able to effectively increase skin hydration. However, due to its reduced viscosity, LNs suspensions are less attractive for skin administration. To overcome this disadvantage, the LN were incorporated in the semi-solid formulation is easy manipulation. This study demonstrated that it is possible to obtain novel LN-loaded fucoxanthin (LN-FUCO) for topical administration containing a combination of bacuri butter and tucumã oil prepared by high shear homogenization for improved stability. The particle size was found to be 243.0 nm and the entrapment efficiency up to 98% of FUCO was incorporated and achieved the suitability of formula. The LN-FUCO hydrogel characteristics of slight acidity, drug content near 100%, and nanometric mean size assure to this formulation high compatibility to dermal application. Photostability assay by UVA, LN-FUCO, and LN-FUCO hydrogel improved photostability and conferred greater protection against FUCO degradation. The results obtained from in vitro skin permeation studies presented a significant difference between LN-FUCO hydrogel and FUCO (p < 0.05), with no detection of the drug in the receptor medium. Therefore, high shear homogenization is demonstrated to be a simple, available, and effective method to prepare high-quality LN-FUCO hydrogel for topical application.

Abstract
Avobenzone (AVO), oxybenzone (OXY), and octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC), are widely used UV filters. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of incorporation in mesoporous silica (SBA-15) on their cutaneous deposition and permeation. Stick formulations containing "free" and "incorporated" UV filters (SF1 and SF2, respectively) were prepared and characterized with respect to their physicochemical, thermal, and functional properties. Cutaneous delivery experiments using porcine skin with quantification by UHPLC-MS/MS, demonstrated that skin deposition of AVO and OXY after application of SF2 for 6 and 12 h was significantly lower than that from SF1 at each time-point (Student t-test, p < 0.05): e.g. OXY permeation across the skin was 30-, 12- and 1.5-fold lower after 6, 12 and 24 h, respectively, following application of SF2. Cutaneous biodistribution profiles of AVO and OXY to 800 µm evidenced a significant decrease in the amounts in the viable epidermis and dermis. In contrast, deposition of the more lipophilic OMC was not significantly different (p ˃ 0.05). In vitro photoprotective efficacy results demonstrated that adsorption/entrapment of UV filters enhanced the sun protection factor by 94%. In conclusion, SBA-15, an innovative mesoporous material, increased photoprotection by UV filters while reducing their cutaneous penetration and transdermal permeation.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorder among females of reproductive age. Many emerging contaminants in personal care products have been confirmed with endocrine disruptive effects. We performed a case-control study to explore the association between the concentrations of certain emerging contaminants (organic UV filters, bisphenol A, and triclosan) and the risk of PCOS. Urine samples were collected from 40 women with PCOS (case group) and 83 healthy women (control group). No significant differences were found in detection rate or total concentrations of analytes in women with PCOS and controls (p > 0.05). In addition, no association was found between certain emerging contaminants and PCOS either in an unadjusted binary logistic regression model or in a model adjusted for potential confounders. However, with stratification according to body mass index, one organic UV filter - octocrylene(OC) was significantly associated with PCOS in women with BMI ≥ 24 (adjusted OR = 1.512, 95% CI: 1.043, 2.191). It's the first time to investigate the association between exposure of organic UV filters and PCOS risk. We conclude that there is positive association between OC and PCOS risk in obese and overweight women.

Abstract
The evaluation of UV-filter in vitro percutaneous absorption allows the estimation of the systemic exposure dose (SED) and the margin of safety (MoS) of sunscreen products. As both the vehicle and pattern of application may affect sunscreen safety and efficacy, we evaluated in vitro release and skin permeation of two widely used UV-filters, octylmethoxycinnamate (OMC) and butylmethoxydibenzoylmethane (BMBM) from topical formulations with different features (oil in water (O/W) emulsions with different viscosity, water in oil (W/O) emulsion, oils with different lipophilicity). To mimic in-use conditions, we carried out experiments repeating sunscreen application on the skin surface for three consecutive days. BMBM release from all these vehicles was very low, thus leading to poor skin permeation. The vehicle composition significantly affected OMC release and skin permeation, and slight increases of OMC permeation were observed after repeated applications. From skin permeation data, SED and MoS values of BMBM and OMC were calculated for all the investigated formulations after a single application and repeated applications. While MoS values of BMBM were always well beyond the accepted safety limit, the safety of sunscreen formulations containing OMC may depend on the vehicle composition and the application pattern.

Abstract
Ethanolic extracts of Achyrocline satureioides have pronounced antioxidant activity mainly due to the presence of the flavonoid quercetin. However, direct topical application of the extract is not possible due to the presence of high amounts of ethanol. In this sense, nanoemulsions arise as an alternative for topical formulation associating molecules with limited aqueous solubility. This article describes the development of topical nanoemulsions containing either A. satureioides extract or one of its most abundant flavonoid, quercetin. Nanoemulsions composed of octyldodecanol, egg lecithin, water and extract (NEE), or quercetin (NEQ) were prepared by spontaneous emulsification. This process led to monodisperse nanoemulsions presenting a mean droplet size of approximately 200-300 nm, negative zeta potential, and high association efficiency. A study of quercetin skin retention using porcine skin which was performed using a Franz diffusion cell revealed a higher accumulation of quercetin in skin for NEE when compared to NEQ. Finally, the antioxidant activity of formulations was measured by thiobarbituric acid-reactive species and the APPH model. A lower lipoperoxidation for the extract in respect to quercetin solution was observed. However, no difference between NEQ and NEE lipoperoxidation could be seen. The protection against lipoperoxidation by the formulations was also measured in the skin, where lower formation of reactive species was observed after treatment with NEE. In conclusion, this study shows the formulation effect on the physicochemical properties of nanoemulsions as well as on the skin retention and antioxidant activity of quercetin.

Abstract
Submicron O/W emulsions formulated with sesame oil plus a lipid-base surfactant, and with or without retinyl acetate (RAC) as a model hydrophobic biomolecule, were prepared by single-pass homogenisation at ≥ 200 MPa (UHPH) and an initial fluid temperature (Tin) of 24°C. These emulsions were characterised by a monomodal distribution (peak maximum at 260 nm) and a 2-year potential physical stability at ambient temperature. Submicron droplets were investigated in term of (i) physicochemical characteristics (size distribution curves; ζ-potential value), and (ii) impact on TC7-cell monolayers (MTT-assay and cell LDH-leakage). Submicron droplets ± RAC did not affect or increased significantly (p=0.05) TC7-cell metabolic activity after 4-24h of exposure indicating absence of cellular impairment, except when high amounts of droplets were deposed on TC7-cells. Indeed, the lipid-based surfactant deposed alone on TC7-cells at high concentration, induced some significant (p=0.05) cell LDH-leakage, and therefore cell-membrane damage. Cellular uptake experiments revealed a significant (p=0.05) time-dependent internalisation of RAC from submicron droplets, and cellular transformation of RAC into retinol. The turnover of RAC into retinol and therefore RAC bioaccessibility appeared faster for RAC-micelles of similar size-range and prepared at atmospheric pressure with polysorbate 80, than for submicron O/W emulsions. Permeation experiments using pig's ear skin mounted on Franz-type diffusion cells, revealed RAC in dermis-epidermis, in significantly (p=0.05) higher amounts for submicron than coarse pre-emulsions. However, RAC amounts remained low for both emulsion-types and RAC was not detected in the receptor medium of Franz-type diffusion cells.

Abstract
Penetrable silica possesses hierarchical pores, mesopores and penetrable macropores, offering fast mass transfer, satisfactory mechanical strength as well as low column pressure. In the present study, penetrable octadecyl-bonded silica (ODS) was for the first time used as biopartitioning micellar chromatography (BMC) stationary phase to profile ecotoxicity and skin permeability of benzophenone UV-filters. Mobile phase (MP) pH and concentration of polyoxyethylene(23)lauryl ether in the MP were systematically studied. Quantitative retention-activity relationships (QRARs) model was established to correlate retention factors (k) on BMC with bioconcentration factor (BCF) and transdermal rate (TR) of UV-filters. Coefficient of determination (r(2)) of the QRARs model between log BCF and log k were 0.9398-0.9753, while r(2) between TR and log k were 0.7569-0.8434, which demonstrated satisfactory predictive ability of the methodology. It was a powerful tool for fast screening by combining penetrable ODS with BMC, and avoiding column blockage often occurring in BMC.

Abstract
Surfactant-free emulsions stabilized by solid particles (Pickering emulsions) have been evaluated in the terms of skin absorption of lipophilic drugs. The behavior of three formulations: a surfactant-based emulsion, a Pickering emulsion stabilized by silica particles and a solution in triglyceride oil, were compared in order to assess the effect of the surface coating of Pickering emulsions as new dosage forms for topical application. Such comparative investigation was performed in vitro on excised pig skin in Franz diffusion cells with all-trans retinol as model lipophilic drug. Surfactant-based (classical, CE) and Pickering (PE) oil-in-water emulsions containing retinol were prepared with the same chemical composition (except the stabilizing agent: surfactant or silica particles), the same droplet size and the same viscosity. No permeation through the skin sample was observed after 24h exposure because of the high lipophilic character of retinol. Penetration of retinol was 5-fold larger for both CE and PE than for the solution in triglyceride. The distribution of retinol inside the skin layers depended significantly on the emulsions type: the classical emulsion allowed easy diffusion through the stratum corneum, so that large amounts reached the viable epidermis and dermis. Conversely, high storage of retinol inside the stratum corneum was favored by the Pickering emulsion. The retinol content in stratum corneum evaluated by skin stripping, demonstrated the increased retinol accumulation from PE. Therefore Pickering emulsions are new drug penetration vehicles with specific behavior; they are well-suited either for targeting the stratum corneum or aimed at slow release of drug from stratum corneum used as a reservoir to the deeper layers of skin.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to validate an isocratic LC method for the quantification of either quercetin (Q) or methylquercetin (MQ) incorporated in topical nanoemulsions. The analyses were performed at room temperature on a reversed-phase C(18) column using a mobile phase composed of methanol/water (70:30, v/v) and trifluoracetic acid 0.1% at 0.8 mL min(-1). The detection was carried out on a UV detector at 368 or 354 nm for Q and MQ, respectively. The linearity, in the range of 0.15-1.5 microg/mL, presented a determination coefficient (r(2)) higher than 0.99, calculated by the least square method for both flavonoids. No interferences from the excipients (egg-lecithin or octyldodecanol) were detected. The R.S.D. values for intra- and inter-day precision experiments were lower than 2% for both flavonoids. The recovery ranged from 98.9% to 103.46% for Q and from 98.9% to 102.92% for MQ.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/AIMS The influence of emulsion droplet size on the skin penetration of a model drug, tetracaine, was studied. For this purpose, in vitro dermal and transdermal delivery of tetracaine from 6 emulsions (3 macro-emulsions with droplet sizes >1 microm and 3 nano-emulsions with droplet sizes <100 nm) were tested. METHODS Two approaches were used: in the first one, the composition of the emulsions was kept constant, while in the second one, the surfactant concentration in the aqueous phase was kept constant by varying the overall surfactant concentration. RESULTS The results from emulsions differing only in droplet size did not provide statistically significant evidence for the anticipated increase in transdermal or dermal delivery (after 24 h) when reducing emulsion droplet size. The same results were obtained when the surfactant concentration in the aqueous phase was kept constant, indicating that there is no influence of emulsion droplet size on the skin penetration of tetracaine within the droplet size range studied. CONCLUSION This is in contrast to what has been reported in various publications that claim penetration to increase with reducing droplet size. It should be noted that the results reported so far are based on emulsions that apart from droplet size also differed in composition and/or system components.

Abstract
Disodium phenyldibenzimidazole tetrasulfonate (PDT) is a new organic UV filter with hydrophilic properties used in modern sunscreen spray formulations. The aim of this work was to develop and validate an analytical method that can be used to study skin absorption of PDT from sunscreens. Results obtained in vitro for human skin showed a low level of absorption. The proposed in vitro method employs a diffusion cell. Sunscreen lotion was applied onto pretreated human skin, which was then placed in the cell. PDT was collected in a receptor liquid, the surface of which was in contact with the skin. The solutions obtained were diluted appropriately and analyzed by liquid chromatography without any interference. The analytical features of chromatographic determination with fluorimetic detection were suited to this analytical problem, since this method gave a limit of detection of 1 ng ml(-1). Phenol red (PR) was used as a marker to check the skin integrity, and a sensitive method based on sequential injection on-line solid-phase extraction coupled with spectrophotometric detection was developed for determining this marker in the receptor liquid in order to screen the cells.

Abstract
A sensitive and selective method to determine disodium phenyl dibenzimidazole tetrasulphonate (PDT) in the urine of sunscreen users, which is suitable for studies on body accumulation/excretion is proposed. On-line solid-phase extraction allows the analyte to be retained and subsequentely eluted, using a strong anion exchange (SAX) microcolumn. Standard addition calibration was carried out with only one standard. The wavelengths of excitation and emission were 330 and 454 nm, respectively. The method allows PDT to be determined in both, spiked and unspiked human urine samples, without any pre-treatment. Results obtained for spiked urine samples (40-200 ng ml(-1)) showed the accuracy of the method. The mean relative standard deviations (R.S.D.) of the results was 7%. Five volunteers applied a sunscreen lotion containing 5% PDT and their urinary excretion was controlled from the moment of application until the excreted amounts were no longer detectable. The sensitivity of the proposed method is in the order of 1900 ml microg(-1) and the detection limit (3S(y/x)/b) is in the order of 5 ng of PDT, which means 10 ng ml(-1) for a 500 microl injected volume, and this is suitable for the PDT levels found in the urine.

Abstract
The formation of O/W nano-emulsions suitable for pharmaceutical application and the solubilisation of a practically non-water-soluble drug, lidocaine, have been studied in water/non-ionic surfactant/oil systems. Nano-emulsions were prepared by using low-energy emulsification methods, changing the composition at constant temperature. Kinetic stability was assessed by measuring droplet diameter as a function of time. Lidocaine solubilisation was studied in nano-emulsions with high water content. In the water/Cremophor EL/Miglyol 812 system the lowest droplet sizes, from 14 to 39nm at 10/90 and 40/60 oil/surfactant ratios, respectively, and 90% of water content, were obtained with an emulsification method consisting of stepwise addition of water to oil/surfactant mixtures at 70 degrees C. Nano-emulsions of this system showed high kinetic stability. Droplet diameters did not exceed 67nm after a period of at least 7 months. The maximum lidocaine concentration solubilised in nano-emulsions of the water/Cremophor EL/Miglyol 812 system with 90 and 95% of water content was 3.5 and 2.1%, respectively. These values are within the therapeutic range of lidocaine.

Abstract
N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) and oxybenzone are two essential active ingredients in insect repellent and sunscreen preparations. We developed and validated a simple, sensitive, and selective HPLC assay to simultaneously measure DEET, oxybenzone and five primary metabolites of DEET and oxybenzone in biological samples including plasma, urine and skin strips. The compounds were separated on a reversed-phase C18 column using three-stage gradient steps with methanol and water. DEET and two relevant metabolites were detected at 254 nm, while oxybenzone and three relevant metabolites were detected at 289 nm. The limit of detection was 0.6 ng for DEET and 0.5 ng for oxybenzone, respectively. The developed method was further applied to analyze various biological samples from an in vivo animal study that evaluated concurrent use of commercially available insect repellent and sunscreen preparations.

Benzophenone-3 (BZP) or oxybenzone is widely used in many cosmetic formulations, such as sunscreen lotions or emulsions, shampoos and hair sprays. The nature of the vehicle used can enhance or block the percutaneous absorption of UV filter. In this work, we hydrophobically modified polyvinylalcohol 10 000 (PVA) with fatty acids (FAs) to obtain PVA-FA derivatives for the preparation of lipophilic polymeric nanoparticles able to prevent BZP movement towards the skin. Synthesized PVA-FA derivatives were confirmed by H1 NMR. Nanoparticles loaded with BZP were prepared using a solvent extraction method. The particle size was monitored by means of dynamic light scattering measurements. In-vitro skin permeation studies were performed.

Abstract
The aim of this study was the comparison of two different formulations (solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and conventional o/w emulsion) as carrier systems for the molecular sunscreen oxybenzone. The influence of the carrier on the rate of release was studied in vitro with a membrane-free model. The release rate could be decreased by up to 50% with the SLN formulation. Further in vitro measurements with static Franz diffusion cells were performed. In vivo, penetration of oxybenzone into stratum corneum on the forearm was investigated by the tape stripping method. It was shown that the rate of release is strongly dependent upon the formulation and could be decreased by 30-60% in SLN formulations. In all test models, oxybenzone was released and penetrated into human skin more quickly and to a greater extent from the emulsions. The rate of release also depends upon the total concentration of oxybenzone in the formulation. In vitro-in vivo correlations could be made qualitatively.

Abstract
The study described in this paper constitutes a practical assay system to evaluate in vivo drug penetration using two complementary non-invasive methods. An electrical capacitance test was first applied to the skin on the forearm to evaluate the hydration of the skin, and check the integrity of the stratum corneum. In the first step, the percentage absorption was measured using an occlusive and difference method; following benzophenone-3 application any residual formulation was washed off and the amount removed analyzed. In the second step, the tape stripping method-a useful procedure for selectively removing the skin's outermost layer, the stratum corneum, and measuring the stratum corneum adsorption-was performed. Under these conditions the human skin permeation of this UV-filter over four hours was near to 35% of the applied dose with the occlusive method. The amount of topically applied benzophenone-3 found in the stratum corneum after 30 min exposure using the stripping procedure was evaluated at 4% to the applied dose.
