Abstract
The present work reviews the liquid antisolvent crystallization (LASC) to prepare the nanoparticle of pharmaceutical compounds to enhance their solubility, dissolution rate, and bioavailability. The application of ultrasound and additives is discussed to prepare the particles with narrow size distribution. The use of ionic liquid as an alternative to conventional organic solvent is presented. Herbal compounds, also known for low aqueous solubility and limited clinical application, have been crystalized by LASC and discussed here. The particle characteristics such as particle size and particle size distribution are interpreted in terms of supersaturation, nucleation, and growth phenomena. To overcome the disadvantage of batch crystallization, the scientific literature on continuous flow reactors is also reviewed. LASC in a microfluidic device is emerging as a promising technique. The different design of the microfluidic device and their application in LASC are discussed. The combination of the LASC technique with traditional techniques such as high-pressure homogenization and spray drying is presented. A comparison of product characteristics prepared by LASC and the supercritical CO2 antisolvent method is discussed to show that LASC is an attractive and inexpensive alternative for nanoparticle preparation. One of the major strengths of this paper is a discussion on less-explored applications of LASC in pharmaceutical research to attract the attention of future researchers.

Abstract
Nanosuspensions can effectively increase saturation solubility and improve the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs attributed to high loading and surface-to-volume ratio. Wet media milling has been regarded as a scalable method to prepare nanosuspensions because of its simple operation and easy scale-up. In recent years, besides particle aggregation and Ostwald ripening, polymorphic transformation induced by processing has become a critical factor leading to the instability of nanosuspensions. Therefore, this review aims to discuss the influence factors comprehensively and put forward the corresponding improvement strategies of polymorphic transformation during the formation of nanosuspensions. In addition, this review also demonstrates the implication of molecular simulation in polymorphic transformation. The competition between shear-induced amorphization and thermally activated crystallization is the global mechanism of polymorphic transformation during media milling. The factors affecting the polymorphic transformation and corresponding improvement strategies are summarized from formulation and process parameters perspectives during the formation of nanosuspensions. The development of analytical techniques has promoted the qualitative and quantitative characterization of polymorphic transformation, and some techniques can in-situ monitor dynamic transformation. The microhydrodynamic model can be referenced to study the stress intensities by analyzing formulation and process parameters during wet media milling. Molecular simulation can be used to explore the possible polymorphic transformation based on the crystal structure and energy. This review is helpful to improve the stability of nanosuspensions by regulating polymorphic transformation, providing quality assurance for nanosuspension-based products.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to present an approach to enhance the dissolution of progestin medication, megestrol acetate (also known as MEGACE), for improving the dissolution rate and kinetic solubility by incorporating nano graphene oxide (nGO). An antisolvent precipitation process was investigated for nGO-drug composite preparation, where prepared composites showed crystalline properties that were similar to the pure drug but enhanced aqueous dispersibility and colloidal stability. To validate the efficient release profile of composite, in vitro dissolution testing was carried out using United States Pharmacopeia, USP-42 paddle method, with gastric pH (1.4) and intestinal pH (6.5) solutions to mimic in vivo conditions. Pure MA is practically insoluble (2 µg/mL at 37 °C). With the incorporation of nGO, it was possible to dissolve nearly 100% in the assay. With the incorporation of 1.0% of nGO, the time required to dissolve 50% and 80% of drug, namely T50 and T80, decreased from 138.0 min to 27.0 min, and the drug did not dissolve for 97.0 min in gastric media, respectively. Additionally, studies done in intestinal media have revealed T50 did not dissolve for 92.0 min. This work shows promise in incorporating functionalized nanoparticles into the crystal lattice of poorly soluble drugs to improve dissolution rate.

Abstract
Particle size is a key parameter when dealing with drug particle formation, delivery or dissolution. The correct measurement of particle size depends on various factors, such as sample preparation or dilution, but also on the choice of method for its characterization. In this work, we study the process of precipitation of poorly water-soluble drug Valsartan from supersaturated solution in the presence of nonionic surfactant Tween 20. Several techniques including dynamic light scattering (DLS) operated in several measuring modes, optical microscope (OM) and static light scattering (SLS) were used to analyze the kinetics of particle formation. As concluded by the results, the increase in turbidity of the solution seriously limits the application of classical DLS to properly measure the particle size and polydispersity. One way to get around this restriction is by dilution, which however results in a decrease in the size of Valsartan particles in the studied population. In contrast, here we present for a first time technique based on modulated 3D cross correlation DLS equipped with the sample goniometer to determine size of submicron particles of the drug in highly turbid solutions. Additionally, a modified OM was used to measure micron-sized particles for samples without any dilution in a continuous mode. Measured particle sizes combined with measured Valsartan concentration allowed us to identify mechanism responsible for the particle formation from supersaturated solutions. The main mechanism, as it is shown in this work, is covering surface of precipitate particles by the amount of used Tween 20.

Abstract
Abstract
Flufenamic acid (FFA) is a Biopharmaceutical Classification System- II (BCS-II) class drug with poor bioavailability and a lower dissolution rate. Particle size reduction is one of the conventional approaches to increase the dissolution rate and subsequently the bioavailability. The use of the liquid antisolvent method for particle size reduction of FFA was studied in this work. Ethanol and water were used as solvent and antisolvent, respectively. Experimental parameters such as solution concentration (10–40 mg/ml), flow rate (120–480 ml/h), temperature (298–328 K) and stirring speed (200–800 rpm) were investigated. Furthermore, the solid dispersion of FFA was prepared with polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30 (PVP K-30) with different weight ratios (1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4) and samples were characterized using SEM, FTIR and XRD techniques. The experimental investigation revealed that higher values of concentration, injection rate, stirring speed, along with lower temperature favored the formation of fine particles. SEM analysis revealed that the morphology of raw FFA changed from rock-like to rectangular-like after liquid antisolvent recrystallization. FTIR analysis validated the presence of hydrogen bonding between FFA and PVP in solid dispersion. XRD analysis showed no significant change in the crystallinity of the processed FFA.

Abstract
A dual pH- and time-dependent polymeric coated capsule was developed to achieve the site specificity of simvastatin (SIM) release in the colon. To improve the SIM solubility, soluplus-based nanosuspension of the drug were prepared by applying the anti-solvent crystallization technique; this was then followed by lyophilization. Particle size, polydispersity index, and saturation solubility were evaluated. The optimized nanosuspension was combined with SLS and freeze-dried before filling into hard gelatin capsules. Drug release characteristics of the coated capsules were studied in HCl 0.1 N, the phosphate buffers 6.8 and 7.4, and the simulated colonic fluid (pH 6.8). The in-vitro cytotoxic effects of SIM nanoparticles against HT29 cells were then evaluated using the MTT assay. The prepared nanoparticles were spherical with a mean size of 261.66 nm, the zeta potential of -18.20 and the dissolution efficiency of 59.71%. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry studies showed that the nanosizing technique transformed the crystalline drug into the more soluble amorphous form. The coated capsules had no release in the gastric media, providing the specific delivery of SIM in the colon. The cytotoxic effect of the SIM nanoparticles was significantly increased, as compared to the free SIM. The findings, therefore, showed that the coated capsules using the two polymers of ethyl cellulose and Eudragit S100 could be suitable for the colon target delivery of SIM.

Abstract
Using micro-sized channels to manipulate fluids is the essence of microfluidics which has wide applications from analytical chemistry to material science and cell biology research. Recently, using microfluidic-based devices for pharmaceutical research, in particular for the fabrication of micro- and nano-particles, has emerged as a new area of interest. The particles that can be prepared by microfluidic devices can range from micron size droplet-based emulsions to nano-sized drug loaded polymeric particles. Microfluidic technology poses unique advantages in terms of the high precision of the mixing regimes and control of fluids involved in formulation preparation. As a result of this, monodispersity of the particles prepared by microfluidics is often recognised as being a particularly advantageous feature in comparison to those prepared by conventional large-scale mixing methods. However, there is a range of practical drawbacks and challenges of using microfluidics as a direct micron- and nano-particle manufacturing method. Technological advances are still required before this type of processing can be translated for application by the pharmaceutical industry. This review focuses specifically on the application of microfluidics for pharmaceutical solid nanoparticle preparation and discusses the theoretical foundation of using the nanoprecipitation principle to generate particles and how this is translated into microfluidic design and operation.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are considered to be a powerful approach for the delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs. One of the main challenges is developing an appropriate method for preparation of drug nanoparticles. As a simple, rapid and scalable method, the flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) has been widely used to fabricate these drug nanoparticles, including pure drug nanocrystals, polymeric micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, and polyelectrolyte complexes. This review introduces the application of FNP to produce poorly water-soluble drug nanoparticles by controllable mixing devices, such as confined impinging jets mixer (CIJM), multi-inlet vortex mixer (MIVM) and many other microfluidic mixer systems. The formation mechanisms and processes of drug nanoparticles by FNP are described in detail. Then, the controlling of supersaturation level and mixing rate during the FNP process to tailor the ultrafine drug nanoparticles as well as the influence of drugs, solvent, anti-solvent, stabilizers and temperature on the fabrication are discussed. The ultrafine and uniform nanoparticles of poorly water-soluble drug nanoparticles prepared by CIJM, MIVM and microfluidic mixer systems are reviewed briefly. We believe that the application of microfluidic mixing devices in laboratory with continuous process control and good reproducibility will be benefit for industrial formulation scale-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nanotechnology can offer the advantages of increasing solubility and bioavailability of delivering drugs like Furosemide. The aim of the current study is to investigate the in vitro and in vivo performance of furosemide nanosuspensions. METHODS Furosemide nanosuspensions were prepared by antisolvent precipitation method using full factorial experimental design. Four factors were employed namely; Stirring time, Injection rate, antisolvent: solvent ratio & stabilizer: drug ratio (at two levels = high & low). The in vitro dissolution experiments were conducted to compare the representative formulation with raw drug powder. The bioavailability of nanosuspension was, also, evaluated in mice as an animal model. RESULTS Solid state characterization (PXRD, DSC and FESEM) did show physical changes during preparation and optimization of the furosemide nanosuspensions. Individual material attributes showed more significant impact on the average particle size of the nanocrystals compared to process parameters. Two-way interactions between material attributes and process parameters significantly affected nanosuspension particle size distribution. Dissolution rate of furosemide nanosuspemsion was significantly higher than that observed for raw furosemide powder. The in vivo pharmacokinetics parameters of nanosuspension in comparison to pure drug showed significant increase in Cmax and AUC(0-t), about 233% and 266%, respectively. The oral bioavailability of furosemide from nanosuspension was about 2.3 fold higher as compared with the bioavailability from pure drug. CONCLUSIONS Furosemide nanosuspensions prepared using antisolvent precipitation method enhanced the dissolution rate and oral bioavailability compared to raw furosemide powder.

Abstract
Purpose: The main aim of the present investigation was to enhance the solubility of poorly soluble Gliclazide by nanocrystallization. Methods: In present investigation gliclazide nanocrystals were prepared by sonoprecipitation using Pluronic F68, Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA), Poly ethylene Glycol 6000 (PEG), Poly Vinyl Pyrrolidine (PVP K30) and Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) as stabilizers. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic study (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and X ray diffraction (XRD) studies were conducted to study the drug interactions. Size and zeta potential of the nanocrystals were evaluated. In vitro and in vivo studies of nanocrystals were conducted in comparison to pure gliclazide. Results: The Gliclazide nanocrystals (GN) showed mean particle size of 131±7.7 nm with a zeta potential of -26.6 mV. Stable nanocrystals were formed with 0.5% of PEG 6000. FTIR, DSC and XRD studies of nanocrystals showed absence of interactions and polymorphism. SEM photographs showed a change in morphology of crystals from rod to irregular shape. There is an increase in the saturation solubility and the percentage drug release from formulation GN5 (Optimized Gliclazide Nanocrystals) was found to be 98.5 in 15 min. In the in vivo study, GN5 nanocrystals have reduced the blood glucose level to 296.4±4.26 mg/dl in 12 hr. The nanocrystals showed lower tmax and higher Cmax values as compared to pure gliclazide. Conclusion: The prepared nanocrystals of gliclazide were stable without any drug polymer interactions. Increase in the dissolution of nanocrystals compared to pure gliclazide and significant reduction in blood glucose level in vivo indicated better bioavailability of the nanocrystals. Therefore, it is concluded that nanocrystal technology can be a promising tool to improve solubility and hence dissolution of a hydrophobic drug.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to prepare and evaluate a paclitaxel nanocrystal-based formulation stabilized by serum protein transferrin in a non-covalent manner. The pure paclitaxel nanocrystals were first prepared using an antisolvent precipitation method augmented by sonication. The serum protein transferrin was selected for use after evaluating the stabilizing effect of several serum proteins including albumin and immunoglobulin G. The formulation contained approximately 55-60% drug and was stable for at least 3months at 4°C. In vivo antitumor efficacy studies using mice inoculated with KB cells demonstrate significantly higher tumor inhibition rate of 45.1% for paclitaxel-transferrin formulation compared to 28.8% for paclitaxel nanosuspension treatment alone. Interestingly, the Taxol(®) formulation showed higher antitumor activity than the paclitaxel-transferrin formulation, achieving a 93.3% tumor inhibition rate 12days post initial dosing. However, the paclitaxel-transferrin formulation showed a lower level of toxicity, which is indicated by a steady increase in body weight of mice over the treatment period. In comparison, treatment with Taxol(®) resulted in toxicity issues as body weight decreased. These results suggest the potential benefit of using a serum protein in a non-covalent manner in conjunction with paclitaxel nanocrystals as a promising drug delivery model for anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP), which is a member in the inhaled glucocorticosteroid class, is commonly used in the treatment of asthma by pulmonary delivery. The purpose of this study is to prepare ultrafine BDP particles for dry powder inhalation (DPI) administration by combining microfluidic antisolvent precipitation without surfactant, high-pressure homogenization (HPH) and spray drying. T-junction microchannel was adopted for the preparation of needle-like BDP particles. The needle-like particles could be easily broken down into smaller particles during HPH, which were assembled into uniform low-density spherical BDP aggregates by spray drying. The effects of the operation parameters, such as the flow rates of BDP methanol solution and antisolvent, the overall flow rate, the BDP concentration, and the change of the injection phase on BDP particle size were explored. The results indicated that the BDP particle size greatly decreased with the reduction of BDP solution flow rate and the increase of antisolvent flow rate. However, the BDP particle size firstly decreased and then increased with the increase of the overall flow rate and the increase of BDP concentration. Also, BDP solution as the injection phase could form the smaller BDP particles. 10 HPH cycles are enough to forming short rod-like particles. After spray drying, the BDP spherical aggregates with a 2-3 μm size could be achieved. They have an excellent aerosol performance, 2.8 and 1.4 times as many as raw BDP and vacuum-dried BDP particles, respectively.
