Improving the oral delivery of benznidazole nanoparticles by optimizing the formulation parameters through a design of experiment and optimization strategy.

Abstract
Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease affecting the American continent and also some regions of Europe. Benznidazole, approved by FDA, is a drug of choice but its poor aqueous solubility may lead to a low bioavailability and efficacy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to formulate nanoparticles of benznidazole for improving its solubility, dissolution and permeability. A Plackett-Burman design was applied to identify the effect of 5 factors over 4 responses. Then, a Central Composite design was applied to estimate the values of the most important factors leading to the best compromise between highest nanoprecipitation efficiency, drug solubility and lower particle size. The optimized nanoparticles were evaluated for in vitro drug release in biorelevant media, stability studies and transmission electron microscopy. Biocompatibility and permeability of nanoparticles were evaluated on the Caco-2 cell line. The findings of the optimization process indicated that concentration of drug and stabilizer influenced significantly the particle size while concentration of stabilizer and organic/water phase volume ratio mainly influenced the drug solubility. Stability studies suggested that benznidazole nanoparticles were stable after 12 months at different temperatures. Minimal interactions of those nanoparticles and mucin glycoproteins suggested favorable properties to address the intestinal mucus barrier. Cell viability studies confirmed the safety profile of the optimized formulation and showed an increased permeation through the Caco-2 cells. Thus, this study confirmed the suitability of the design of experiment and optimization approach to elucidate critical parameters influencing the quality of benznidazole nanoparticles, which could lead to a more efficient management of Chagas disease by oral route.

Abstract
Cyclodextrin metal-organic framework by ultrasound-assisted rapid synthesis for caffeic acid (CA) loading and antibacterial application (U-CD-MOF) was successfully studied and this method shortened the preparation time to a few minutes. It was found that the ultrasonic power, reaction time and temperature would affect the morphology and size of the obtained crystal. Under the optimal conditions, U-CD-MOF had a cubic structure with uniform size of 8.60 ± 1.95 μm. U-CD-MOF was used to load the antibacterial natural product CA to form the composite (CA@U-CD-MOF) and the loading rate of CA@U-CD-MOF to CA could reach 19.63 ± 2.53%, which was more than twice that of γ-CD. Various techniques were applied to characterize the synthesized crystal, including Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and N2 adsorption. In addition, antibacterial tests were performed on the obtained crystal. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of CA@U-CD-MOF for Escherichia coli O157: H7 (E. coli O157: H7) were both 25 mg·mL-1, and the MIC for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). was 25 mg·mL-1. The sustained release behavior of CA@U-CD-MOF to CA in ethanol fitted well to Higuchi model and the loading of CA was supported by molecular docking results. In general, U-CD-MOF was successfully achieved by ultrasound-assisted rapid synthesis and the obtained crystal was further evaluated for potential antibacterial application.

Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222212406.

Abstract
Nanosizing is an approach to improve the dissolution rate of poorly soluble drugs. The first aim of this work was to develop nanosuspension of cilostazol with liquid antisolvent precipitation (LASP) and its combination with ultrasound. Second, to systematically study the effect of bottom-up processing factors on precipitated particles’ size and identify the optimal settings for the best reduction. After solvent and stabilizer screening, in-depth process characterization and optimization was performed using Design of Experiments. The work discusses the influence of critical factors found with statistical analysis: feed concentration, stabilizer amount, stirring speed and ultrasound energy governed by time and amplitude. LASP alone only generated particle size of a few microns, but combination with ultrasound was successful in nanosizing (d10 = 0.06, d50 = 0.33, d90 = 1.45 µm). Micro- and nanosuspension’s stability, particle morphology and solid state were studied. Nanosuspension displayed higher apparent solubility than equilibrium and superior dissolution rate over coarse cilostazol and microsuspension. A bottom-up method of precipitation-sonication was demonstrated to be a successful approach to improve the dissolution characteristics of poorly soluble, BCS class II drug cilostazol by reducing its particle size below micron scale, while retaining nanosuspension stability and unchanged crystalline form.

Abstract
The ultrasound-assisted crystallization process has promising potentials for improving process efficiency and modifying crystalline product properties. In this work, the crystallization process of fotagliptin benzoate methanol solvate (FBMS) was investigated to improve powder properties and downstream desolvation/drying performance. The direct cooling/antisolvent crystallization process was conducted and then optimized with the assistance of ultrasonic irradiation and seeding strategy. Direct cooling/antisolvent crystallization and seeding crystallization processes resulted in needle-like crystals which are undesirable for downstream processing. In contrast, the ultrasound-assisted crystallization process produced rod-like crystals and reduced the crystal size to facilitate the desolvation of FBMS. The metastable zone width (MSZW), induction time, crystal size, morphology, and process yield were studied comprehensively. The results showed that both the seeding and ultrasound-assisted crystallization process (without seeds) can improve the process yield and the ultrasound could effectively reduce the crystal size, narrow the MSZW, and shorten the induction time. Through comparing the drying dynamics of the FBMS, the small rod-shaped crystals with a mean size of 9.6 μm produced by ultrasonic irradiation can be completely desolvated within 20 h, while the desolvation time of long needle crystals with an average size of about 157 μm obtained by direct cooling/antisolvent crystallization and seeding crystallization processes is more than 80 h. Thus the crystal size and morphology were found to be the key factors affecting the desolvation kinetics and the smaller size produced by using ultrasound can benefit the intensification of the drying process. Overall, the ultrasound-assisted crystallization showed a full improvement including crystal properties and process efficiency during the preparation of fotagliptin benzoate desolvated crystals.

Abstract
This paper reports the development of a successful anti-solvent method that incorporates colloidal nano scale graphene oxide (nGO) directly into hydrophobic drug crystals. The nGO dispersed in solution acted as nucleating sites for crystallization and were embedded into the drug crystals without altering its structure or physical properties such as melting point. Several composites of drugs Sulfamethoxazole and Griseofulvin were synthesized with nGO concentration ranging between 0.2 and 1.0 %. The presence of nGO dramatically enhanced the dissolution rate. The time needed to reach a 50 % release (T50) reduced from 42-14 min with the integration of 0.8 % nGO in SMZ, while in GF the reduction was from 44-27 min with 0.5 % nGO. Increased release rates are attributed to the presence of the hydrophilic nGO which hydrogen bond more so with the aqueous mediums. Therefore, the incorporation of nGO into poorly soluble drugs is an effective approach towards drug delivery and bioavailability improvement and opens a new approach to high performance drug delivery.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the neuroprotective activity of glutathione (GU)-conjugated asiatic acid (AA) loaded albumin nanoparticles and establishing the drug targeting efficiency (DTE) of GU as a selective ligand for brain-targeted delivery. Albumin nanoparticles were prepared by desolvation technique and optimized using quality by design (QbD) approach. GU was conjugated with nanoparticles by carbodiimide reaction and characterized by its size and zeta potential using dynamic light scattering phenomenon. Dialysis bag technique was employed for in-vitro release study and in-vivo brain targeting efficiency was evaluated in Sprague-Dawley rats (75 mg/kg, i.p.). Neuroprotective activity was evaluated against scopolamine-induced dementia in rats. Resultant brain bioavailability of nanoparticles with 100.2 nm size and 71.59% entrapment efficiency (EE), was found 7-fold higher than AA dispersion with 293% DTE for the brain. Conjugated nanoparticles showed significantly high percentage correct alternation (p < .05), low escape latency time (p < .01), cholinesterase inhibition (p < .01) and ameliorated GU levels (p < .01) as compared to diseased animals. GU showed potential to enhance the brain delivery of AA with ameliorated neuroprotective activity due to enhanced bioavailability. This concept can serve as a platform technology for similar potential neurotherapeutics, whose clinical efficacy is still challenging owing to poor bioavailability.

Abstract
Microcrystals of piroxicam (PRX) monohydrate with a narrow size distribution were prepared from acetone/PRX solutions by antisolvent crystallization via metallic membranes with ordered pore arrays. Crystallization was achieved by controlled addition of the feed solution through the membrane pores into a well-stirred antisolvent. A complete transformation of an anhydrous form I into a monohydrate form of PRX was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The size of the crystals was 7-34 μm and was controlled by the PRX concentration in the feed solution (15-25 g L-1), antisolvent/solvent volume ratio (5-30), and type of antisolvent (Milli-Q water or 0.1-0.5 wt % aqueous solutions of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), poly(vinyl alcohol) or Pluronic P-123). The smallest crystals were obtained by injecting 25 g L-1 PRX solution through a stainless-steel membrane with a pore size of 10 μm into a 0.06 wt % HPMC solution stirred at 1500 rpm using an antisolvent/solvent ratio of 20. HPMC provided better steric stabilization of microcrystals against agglomeration than poly(vinyl alcohol) and Pluronic P-123, due to hydrogen bonding interactions with PRX and water. A continuous production of large PRX monohydrate microcrystals with a volume-weighted mean diameter above 75 μm was achieved in a continuous stirred membrane crystallizer. Rapid pouring of Milli-Q water into the feed solution resulted in a mixture of highly polydispersed prism-shaped and needle-shaped crystals.

Abstract
The present work reports the comparison of the effectiveness of ultrasonic bath and horn for intensifying the cooling crystallization of oxalic acid for the first time. The effect of various parameters such as temperature, crystallization time, irradiation time, ultrasonic frequency and ultrasonic power on the crystal characteristics has been investigated. The average particle size of oxalic acid crystals reduced with an increase in irradiation time and ultrasonic power dissipation. Comparison of crystal characteristics obtained in ultrasonic bath with that obtained in the ultrasonic horn under optimized parameters revealed that the average size in the case of ultrasonic horn and bath were only marginally different. The studies related to the effect of different cooling modes using ultrasonic horn revealed that a narrow size distribution and lower average size of 357.2µm was obtained for the cooling using ice cold water as compared to air cooling where observed mean size was 439.7µm. A narrow particle size distribution was also obtained in the scale-up studies using ultrasound horn with mean size of 96.70µm, which was significantly lower than 161.1µm obtained under conventional approach. Overall significant process intensification benefits have been established for the ultrasound assisted approach for cooling crystallization of oxalic acid.

Castillo-Peinado LDLS, Luque de Castro MD. The role of ultrasound in pharmaceutical production: sonocrystallization. J Pharm Pharmacol 2016; 68:1249-67.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
The main aim of this review was to develop a critical discussion of the key role ultrasound (US) can play on the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) by discussing the versatile effect this type of energy produces.
Methods
The different crystallization techniques that can be assisted and improved by US are discussed in the light of the available US devices and the effect pursued by application of US energy. Simple and complex analytical methods to monitor API changes are also discussed.
Key findings
The countless achievements of API US-assisted production are summarized in a table, and outstanding effects such as narrower particle size distribution; decreased particle size, induction time, metastable zone and supersaturation levels; or a solubility increase are critically discussed.
Conclusions
The indisputable advantages of sonocrystallization over other ways of API production have been supported on multiple examples, and pending goals in this field (clarify the effect of US frequency on crystallization, know the mechanism of sonocrystallization, determine potential degradation owing to US energy, avoid calculation of the process yield by determining the concentration of the target drug remaining in the solution, etc.) should be achieved.
