Co-delivery of paclitaxel and curcumin loaded solid lipid nanoparticles for improved targeting of lung cancer: In vitro and in vivo investigation. Heliyon 2024; 10:e30290. [PMID: 38720725 PMCID: PMC11076978 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop nanotechnology-mediated paclitaxel (PAC) and curcumin (CUR) co-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (PAC-CUR-SLNs) for the treatment of lung cancer, which is a leading cause of death worldwide. Around 85 % cases of lungs cancer constitute non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PAC-CUR-SLNs were prepared via high pressure homogenization. The in vitro drug release of PAC-CUR-SLNs was checked followed by their in vitro cytotoxic investigation using adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial cells (A549) cell lines. Anticancer effects along with side effects of the synergistic delivery of PAC-CUR-SLNs were studied in vivo, using BALB/c mice. PAC-CUR-SLNs were nano sized (190 nm), homogeneously disseminated particles with %IE of both PAC and CUR above 94 %. PAC-CUR-SLNs released PAC and CUR in a controlled fashion when compared with free drug suspensions. The cytotoxicity of PAC-CUR-SLNs was higher than individual drug-loaded SLNs and pure drugs. Moreover, the co-delivery displayed synergistic effect, indicating potential of PAC-CUR-SLNs in lung cancer treatment. In vivo tumor investigation of PAC-CUR-SLNs exhibited 12-fold reduced tumor volume and almost no change in body weight of BALB/c mice, when compared with the experimental groups including control group. The inhibition of tumor rate on day 28 was 82.7 % in the PAC-CUR-SLNs group, which was significantly higher than the pure drugs and monotherapies. It can be concluded that, encapsulating the co-loaded antitumor drugs like PAC-CUR in SLNs may help in improved targeting of the tumor with enhanced anticancer effect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Rivaroxaban (RXB), a novel Xa inhibitor having groundbreaking therapeutic potential. However, this drug is associated with few limitations, including its pharmacokinetics related toxicities. Here, we developed RXB-loaded SLNs (RXB-SLNs) to improve its biopharmaceutical profile. Methods: High pressure homogenizer was used to prepare RXB-SLNs, followed by their particle characterization, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Dynamic light scattering (DSC), and Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis. Beside this, in-vitro, ex-vivo, and in-vivo evaluation, prothrombin time assessment and toxicity was investigated. RESULTS RXB-SLNs had their particle size in nano range (99.1 ± 5.50 nm) with excellent morphology and low polydispersity index (0.402 ± 0.02) and suitable zeta potential (-25.9 ± 1.4 mV). The incorporation efficiency was observed around 95.9 ± 3.9%. In-vitro release profiles of the RXB-SLNs exhibited enhanced dissolution (89 ± 9.91%) as compared to pure drug (11 ± 1.43%) after 24 h of the study. PK study demonstrated a seven times enhanced bioavailability of RXB-SLNs when compared with pure drug. Furthermore, RXB-SLNs exhibited an expressive anti-coagulant behavior in human and rat blood plasma. Also, the final formulation exhibited no toxicity after oral administration of the SLNs. CONCLUSIONS All together, these studies revealed the capability of the SLNs for carrying the RXB with enhanced therapeutic efficacy and no toxicity, most importantly for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP), is a systemic bone disorder associated with low bone mass and bone tissue corrosion. Worsening of the disease condition leads to bone delicacy and fracture. Various drugs are available for the treatment of OP, however they have limitations including poor solubility, bioavailability and toxicity. Herein, Raloxifene-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (RLX-PNPs) were developed and investigated for the treatment of OP with possible solutions to the above mentioned problems. RLX-PNPs were prepared by modified ionic gelation method followed by determining their particle properties. FTIR, DSC and PXRD analysis of the RLX-PNPs were performed to check chemical interaction, thermal behavior and crystallinity, respectively. In-vitro release profile of RLX-PNPs was checked in lab setting, whereas its pharmacokinetics was investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats, in-vivo. Finally, the treatment potential of RLX-PNPs was analyzed in OP induced animal model. The optimized PNPs formulation indicated 134.5 nm particle size, +24.4 mV charge and 91.73% % EE. TEM analysis showed spherical and uniform sized particles with no interactions observed in FTIR analysis. In-vitro release of RLX from RLX-PNPs showed more sustained release behavior as compared to RLX-suspension. Moreover, pharmacokinetic investigations showed a significantly enhanced bioavailability of the RLX-PNPs as well as reduced serum levels of alkaline phosphatase and calcium in OP induced rats when compared with RLX-Suspension after oral administration. Findings of this study suggested that the developed RLX-PNPs have the potential to treat OP due to sustained release and improved bioavailability of the incorporated drug.

Abstract
This study aims to develop, characterize, and examine olanzapine-loaded solid lipid nanocarriers (OLAN-SLNs) for effective brain delivery. OLAN has poor water solubility and low penetration through blood-brain barrier (BBB). Herein, OLAN-SLNs were fabricated using high-pressure homogenization (HPH) method followed by their investigation for particle properties. Moreover, in vitro release and in vivo pharmacokinetics profiles of OLAN-SLNs were compared with pure drug. Anti-psychotic activity was performed in LPS-induced psychosis mice model. Furthermore, expressions of the COX-2 and NF-κB were measured trailed by histopathological examination. The optimized formulation demonstrated nanoparticle size (149.1 nm) with rounded morphology, negative zeta potential (-28.9 mV), lower PDI (0.334), and excellent entrapment efficiency (95%). OLAN-SLNs significantly retarded the drug release and showed sustained release pattern as compared to OLAN suspension. Significantly enhanced bioavailability (ninefold) was demonstrated in OLAN-SLNs when compared with OLAN suspension. Behavioral tests showed significantly less immobility and more struggling time in OLAN-SLNs treated mice group. Additionally, reduced expression of COX-2 and -NF κB in brain was found. Altogether, it can be concluded that SLNs have the potential to deliver active pharmaceutical ingredients to brain, most importantly to enhance their bioavailability and antipsychotic effect, as indicated for OLAN in this study.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the development of topotecan (TCN) loaded thermosensitive nanocargos (TCN-TS-NC) for intramuscular (IM) administration with enhanced antitumor activity. In this regards, TCN loaded temperature dependent solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) were prepared with micro-emulsion method, which were then incorporated into temperature sensitive poloxamer solution to develop TCN-TS-NC. The particle size, entrapment efficiency (%EE), zeta potential and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of the TCN-TS-NC were performed. Moreover, the inject-ability, release pattern, apoptosis, cellular uptake, pharmacokinetics and antitumor studies of the TCN-TS-NC were attained and compared with TCN solution and TCN-Emulgel (poloxamer solution containing TCN). At room temperature, the TCN loaded SLNs were solid and poloxamer solution remains liquid, however, TCN loaded SLNs melted to liquid and Emulgel converted into gel from, at body temperature, resulting controlled release of the incorporated drug. The TCN-TS-NC showed enhanced cellular uptake and better apoptosis. Similarly, it reduces Cmax and sustained its level for a significantly longer time in rats, as compared to the TCN-Emulgel and TCN solution. Moreover, a significantly improved antitumor activity was observed in TCN-TS-NC treated tumor bearing athymic nude mice when compared with the control, TCN solution and TCN-Emulgel applied mice. Thus, the TCN-TS-NC system showed control release of the drug with no initial fast effect. Furthermore, it enhanced the antitumor activity of TCN with comparatively no toxicity. It is therefore concluded that TCN-TS-NC could be a potentially more suitable drug delivery system for the delivery of TCN.

Abstract
The study was aimed to improve the aqueous solubility of atorvastatin (AT) and ameliorate permeability of metformin (MT) in a combination formulation, improving their oral bioavailability. Several AT-MT loaded polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) based nanoparticles were prepared through electrospraying method (ES-NPs), and tested for physicochemical, in vitro, and in vivo parameters. Among the trialed formulations, a sample consisting of AT, MT, PVP, and HA at the weight ratio of 1/6.25/3.75/15 furnished the most satisfying solubility and release rate results. It enhanced approximately 10.3-fold and 3.6-fold solubility of AT as compared with AT powder and marketed product (Lipilow) in phosphate buffer pH = 6.8, respectively. Whereas, permeation of MT was 1.60-fold and 1.47-fold improved as compared with MT powder and marketed product (Glucophage), respectively. As compared with Lipilow, AUC (0-∞) and Cmax of AT with ES-NPs in rats were improved to 3.6-fold and 3.2-fold, respectively. Similarly, as compared with Glucophage, AUC (0-∞) and Cmax of MT were improved to 2.3-fold and 1.8-fold, respectively. Thus, ES-NPs significantly enhanced the solubility of AT (a BCS class II drug) and permeability of MT (a BCS class III drug) and might be a promising drug delivery system for co-delivery of these drugs.

Abstract
In this study, a novel rebamipide-loaded spray-dried microsphere (RSM) with enhanced drug solubility and oral bioavailability has been developed utilizing meglumine, an alkalizing agent. The influence of carriers on the drug solubility alone, and the solubility and dissolution of the drug in the RSM was investigated. Among the alkalizing agents and hydrophilic polymers tested, meglumine and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) showed the highest drug solubility and dissolution rate, respectively. Many RSMs were manufactured with various amounts of meglumine and PVA using distilled water, and their drug solubility and dissolution were determined. The physicochemical properties, dissolution and pharmacokinetics of the chosen RSM in rats were assessed compared to the rebamipide powder and commercial tablet. Among the RSMs tested, the one composed of rebamipide, meglumine and PVA at a weight ratio of 3:1.75:6 showed the highest drug solubility and dissolution. This RSM with a smooth spherical form significantly decreased the particle size and modified the amorphous rebamipide. Furthermore, the drug solubility, dissolution, plasma concentrations, AUC and Cmax values of RSM were significantly higher than those of drug powder and commercial tablet. Thus, this RSN system developed with distilled water and meglumine is recommended as an oral water-soluble rebamipide-loaded pharmaceutical product.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the suitability of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) loaded with miltefosine (HePC) as an anticancer drug for the treatment of breast cancer. METHODS HePC-NLCs were prepared using a microemulsion technique and then evaluated for particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), incorporation efficiency, in vitro release of entrapped drug, and hemolytic potential. Furthermore, pharmacokinetic, biodistribution, and liver toxicity analyses were performed in Sprague-Dawley rats, and antitumor efficacy was evaluated in Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) and squamous cell carcinoma-7 (SCC-7) cells in vitro and in tumour-bearing BALB/c mice in vivo. Advanced analyses including survival rate, immunohistopathology, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) assays were performed to evaluate apoptosis in vivo. RESULTS The average particle size of the HePC-NLCs was 143 ± 16 nm, with a narrow PDI (0.104 ± 0.002), and the incorporation efficiency was found to be 91 ± 7%. The NLCs released HePC in a sustained manner, and this release was significantly lower than that of free drug. The in vitro hemolytic assay demonstrated a significantly reduced hemolytic potential (~9%) of the NLCs compared to that of the test formulations. The HePC-NLCs demonstrated enhanced pharmacokinetic behaviour over free drug, including extended blood circulation and an abridged clearance rate in rats. Furthermore, the HePC-NLCs exhibited higher cytotoxicity than the free drug in MCF-7 and SCC-7 cells. Moreover, the HePC-NLCs showed significantly enhanced (P < 0.005) antitumor activity compared to that of the control and free drug-treated mouse groups. Tumour cell apoptosis was also confirmed, indicating the antitumor potential of the HePC-NLCs. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate the ability of NLCs as a drug delivery system for enhanced pharmacokinetic, antitumor, and apoptotic effects, most importantly when loaded with HePC.

Preparation and characterization of novel anti-inflammatory biological agents based on piroxicam-loaded poly-ε-caprolactone nano-particles for sustained NSAID delivery. Drug Deliv 2020; 27:269-282. [PMID: 32009480 PMCID: PMC7034065 DOI: 10.1080/10717544.2020.1716881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2019] [Revised: 01/08/2020] [Accepted: 01/13/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Piroxicam (PX), a main member of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), is mainly used orally, which causes side effects of the gastrointestinal tract. It also has systemic effects when administered intramuscularly. Intra-articular (IA) delivery and encapsulation of PX in biodegradable poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles (NPs) offer potential advantages over conventional oral delivery. The purpose of this study is the development of a new type of anti-inflammatory bio-agents containing collagen and PX-loaded NPs, as an example for an oral formulation replacement, for the prolonged release of PX. In this study, the PX was encapsulated in PCL NPs (size 102.7 ± 19.37 nm, encapsulation efficiency 92.83 ± 0.4410) by oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion solvent evaporation method. Nanoparticles were then characterized for entrapment efficiency, percent yield, particle size analysis, morphological characteristics, and in vitro drug release profiles. Eventually, the NPs synthesized with collagen were conjugated so that the NPs were trapped in the collagen sponges using a cross-linker. Finally, biocompatibility tests showed that the anti-inflammatory agents made in this study had no toxic effect on the cells. Based on the results, it appears that PX-loaded PCL NPs along with collagen (PPCLnp-Coll) can be promising for IA administration based on particulate drug delivery for the treatment of arthritis.

Abstract
Background Bezafibrate is a BCS class II drug as it presents very low solubility in water; therefore, its bioavailability after oral administration is very poor. The aim of this work was to enhance solubility and dissolution rate of bezafibrate in water in order to enhance its oral bioavailability. Methods Several formulations were prepared using PVP K30 and Cremophor ELP employing the solvent-evaporation method and the electrospraying technique. Solubility, release rate, bioavailability in male Sprague Dawley rats, and lipid profile attributes in Wistar rats were assessed in comparison with bezafibrate plain powder. Solid-state characterization was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results All the formulations exerted positive effect towards the desired goal. In particular, the optimized formulation furnished about 14-fold enhanced solubility and 85.48 ± 10.16% drug was released in 10 min as compared with bezafibrate alone (4.06 ± 2.59%). The drug existed in the amorphous state in the prepared sample as confirmed by XRD and DSC, whilst no drug-excipient interactions were observed through FTIR analysis. Moreover, SEM revealed smooth-surfaced spherical particles of the optimized formulation. A 5.5-fold higher oral bioavailability was achieved with the optimized formulation in comparison with bezafibrate plain powder. Also, TG, LDL and TC were decreased, and HDL was increased considerably in HFD-treated rats. Conclusion The optimized formulation consisting of bezafibrate, PVP K30 and cremophor ELP (1/12/1.5, w/w/w) might be a capable drug delivery system for orally administering poorly water-soluble bezafibrate with improved bioavailability and antihyperlipidemic effects.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop levosulpiride-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) with enhanced solubilisation and bioavailability. The levosulpiride loaded-SLNs were composed of levosulpiride, stearic acid, and tween 80 in their respective weight ratios of (1, 5, and 1.5 mg) dissolved in 1 ml distilled water. Physicochemical properties of the SLNs such as particle size, shape, crystallinity, and chemical interaction were evaluated. Further, the in vitro drug dissolution, pharmacokinetic and stability studies of the SLNs were performed. The SLNs were rounded shaped stable nanoparticles with average diameter of 200 nm. They demonstrate 1.5- and 3-fold better drug dissolution when compared with the commercial product and levosulpiride powder, respectively. The SLNs enhanced the bioavailability of levosulpiride 3 times and 7 times, respectively, when compared with the commercial product and levosulpiride powder. It can be concluded that SLNs are capable to improve the dissolution and bioavailability of levosulpiride, even more than the commercial product.

Abstract
Tenofovir disoproxil (TD) is very unstable in the solid state under storage conditions. Moreover, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), a commercial salt, is chemically unstable in alkaline solution. In this study, a novel tenofovir disoproxil phosphate (TDP), with stability enhancement and bioequivalence to commercial TDF in rats and beagle dogs, has been developed as an alternative. The TDP and its tablets were easily manufactured, and its physicochemical properties, such as morphology, crystallinity, solubility, lipophilicity and stability were investigated and compared to TD and TDF. Its dissolution and pharmacokinetics were investigated in rats and beagle dogs in comparison to TD and TDF. TDP appeared as an irregularly-shaped crystalline powder with a rough surface, like TDF. However, TDP significantly improved the solubility (7.4 ± 1.3 vs. 28.6 ± 1.0 mg/ml), hydrophilicity (Log P, 0.58 ± 0.03 vs. 0.47 ± 0.04), and aqueous stability (drug concentration over 12 h at pH 6.8 84.0 ± 2.0% vs. 88.2 ± 1.5%) of TD compared to TDF. The TDP gave no significant different plasma concentrations, AUC and Cmax compared to TDF in rats (AUC, 1242.1 ± 584.9 vs. 825.9 ± 79.5 h·ng/ml; Cmax, 154.8 ± 25.4 vs. 210.9 ± 70.3 ng/ml). Moreover, the TDP-loaded tablets were stable for at least six months and provided similar dissolution and bioequivalence to the TDF-loaded commercial product in beagle dogs (AUC, 26,832.7 ± 4093.0 vs. 26,605.3 ± 2530.1 h·ng/ml; Cmax, 4364.0 ± 2061.9 vs. 4186.3 ± 2616.5 ng/ml). Therefore, as an alternative salt, the TDP would be a recommendable candidate with stability enhancement and bioequivalence to the commercial TDF.

Pharmaceutics 2019; 11:pharmaceutics11080415.

Abstract
The main objective of this study was to compare the powder property, dissolution and bioavailability of 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-3-acetyl-rac-glycerol (PLAG)-loaded self-emulsifying granule system (SEGS) and solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS). Various SEGS formulations were prepared, and the effect of surfactant and binder on the drug solubility in them, leading to selecting sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) and hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC). The SEGS and SNEDDS were prepared with PLAG/SLS/HPMC/calcium silicate/microcrystalline cellulose at the weight ratio of 1:0.25:0.1:0.5:3 employing the fluid bed granulation and spray-drying technique, respectively. Their powder properties were compared in terms of flow ability, emulsion droplet size, scanning electron microscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, the solubility, dissolution, and oral bioavailability in rats of the SEGS were assessed in comparison with the SNEDDS. The SEGS and SNEDDS enhanced the solubility of the drug approximately 36- and 32-fold as compared with the drug alone; but they had no differences. The crystalline drug may exist in both the calcium silicate and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in the SEGS, but only in the calcium silicate in the SNEDDS. The SEGS had considerably improved the flow ability (Hausner ratio, 1.23 vs. 1.07; Carr index, 19.8 vs. 43.5%) and drug dissolution as compared with the SNEDDS. The SEGS and SNEDDS with double peak profiles, unlike the single peak of drug alone, showed a significantly higher plasma concentration and area under the curve (AUC), as compared with drug alone. Although they were not significantly different, the SEGS gave higher AUC than did the SNEDDS, suggesting its enhanced oral bioavailability of PLAG. Thus, the SEGS could be used as a powerful oral dosage form to improve the flow ability and oral bioavailability of PLAG, an oily drug.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to develop a novel revaprazan-loaded surface-modified solid dispersion (SMSD) with improved drug solubility and oral bioavailability. The impact of carriers on aqueous solubility of revaprazan was investigated. HPMC and Cremophor A25 were selected as an appropriate polymer and surfactant, respectively, due to their high drug solubility. Numerous SMSDs were prepared with various concentrations of carriers, using distilled water, and the drug solubility of each was assessed. Moreover, the physicochemical properties, dissolution and pharmacokinetics of selected SMSD in rats were assessed in comparison to revaprazan powder. Of the SMSDs assessed, the SMSD composed of revaprazan/HPMC/Cremophor A25 at the weight ratio of 1:0.28:1.12 had the most enhanced drug solubility (∼6000-fold). It was characterized by particles with a relatively rough surface, suggesting that the carriers were attached onto the surface of the unchanged crystalline revaprazan powder. It had a significantly higher dissolution rate, AUC and Cmax, and a faster Tmax value in comparison to revaprazan powder, with a 5.3-fold improvement in oral bioavailability of revaprazan. Therefore, from an environmental perspective, this SMSD system prepared with water, and without organic solvents, should be recommended as a revaprazan-loaded oral pharmaceutical alternative.

To develop a novel revaprazan-loaded gelatine microsphere with enhanced solubility and oral bioavailability, numerous gelatine microspheres were prepared using a spray-drying technique. The impact of gelatine amount on drug solubility in the gelatine microspheres was investigated. The physicochemical properties of the selected gelatine microsphere, such as shape, particle size and crystallinity, were evaluated. Moreover, its dissolution and pharmacokinetics in rats were assessed in comparison with revaprazan powder. Amongst the gelatine microspheres tested, the gelatine microsphere consisting of revaprazan and gelatine (1:2, w/w), which gave about 150-fold increased solubility, had the most enhanced drug solubility. It provided a spherical shape, amorphous drug and reduced particle size. Furthermore, it gave a higher dissolution rate and plasma concentration than did revaprazan powder. Particularly, it gave about 2.3-fold improved oral bioavailability in comparison with revaprazan powder. Therefore, this novel gelatine microsphere system is recommended as an oral pharmaceutical product of poorly water-soluble revaprazan.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to compare three strategies for enhancing the solubility of poorly water-soluble revaprazan hydrochloride: solid dispersion, solid SNEDDS and inclusion compound. The influence of polymers, surfactants and oils on the drug solubility was assessed, and via the chosen carriers, the three types of formulations were prepared utilising spray drying technique. Their physicochemical properties, solubility, dissolution and pharmacokinetics in rats were performed compared with revaprazan powder. Among the liquid SNEDDS formulations assessed, the compositions of revaprazan, peceol, Tween 80 and Labrasol (10:15:55:30, weight ratio) provided the smallest emulsion size. Moreover, this liquid SNEDDS and dextran were suspended/dissolved in distilled water, and spray-dried, producing an optimal revaprazan-loaded solid SNEDDS. The appropriate solid dispersion and inclusion compound were composed of revaprazan, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and cremophor A25 (5:1.4:5.6) and drug and hydroxyl-β-cyclodextrin (2.5:8.77), respectively. The crystalline drug was converted to an amorphous state in all formulations. In the solid dispersion, the drug was attached to the hydrophilic carrier. The solid SNEDDS and inclusion compound contained aggregate microspheres and separate microspheres, respectively. All formulations significantly increased the drug solubility, dissolution, plasma concentration and AUC compared with revaprazan powder. These properties were ranked in the order solid dispersion ≥ solid SNEDDS > inclusion compound. Particularly, the solid dispersion improved about 9500-fold drug solubility and 10-fold oral bioavailability. Thus, the improved properties were considerably dependent upon these techniques, although all of the techniques employed similar mechanisms. Among the strategies checked, the solid dispersion system would be recommended as an oral revaprazan-loaded pharmaceutical product.

Abstract
Raloxifene HCl (RH) has poor water solubility and due to its extensive first pass metabolism; its bioavailability is only 2%. The purpose of the present study was to enhance the aqueous solubility, oral bioavailability and anti-osteoporotic effects of RH by electro-sprayed nanoparticles (NPs) in ovariectomized rats. NPs containing RH and different ratio of poly(methyl vinyl ether-co-maleic acid) (PMVEMA) were electrosprayed. The voltage, distance of needle to the collector, flow rate of the solution and polymeric percentage were optimized according to the size of NPs and drug solubility. The optimized formulation was characterized by SEM, XRD, DSC, and FTIR. The pharmacokinetic parameters were studies by oral administration of a single dose of 15mg/kg in Wistar rats. The anti-osteoporotic effects were studied in female ovariectomized rats. Animals were treated with 6mg/kg/day for 2months then serum calcium, phosphorous and alkaline phosphatase levels were measured. RH loaded electrosprayed NPs showed 10-fold enhanced solubility compared to the free drug. Moreover, the XRD and SEM tests displayed an amorphous state of drug in the NPs. FTIR and DSC tests revealed no interaction between the polymer and the drug. Serum calcium, phosphorous and alkaline phosphatase levels were significantly decreased in ovariectomized rats receiving oral RH NPs (P<0.05). No significant difference was detected between RH NPs and estradiol groups (P>0.05). Oral bioavailability of NPs showed 7.5-fold increase compared to the pure drug. The electrosprayed PMVEMA nanoparticles can enhance solubility, bioavailability and antiosteoporotic effects of RH.

Abstract
Vesicular drug delivery systems have gained wide attention in the field of nanotechnology. Among them proniosomes become the superior over other vesicular carriers. Proniosomes are dry formulations of water soluble nonionic surfactant coated carrier system which immediately forms niosomes upon hydration. They have the capability to overcome the instability problems associated with niosomes and liposomes and have the potential to improve solubility, bioavailability, and absorption of various drugs. Furthermore, they offer versatile drug delivery concept for enormous number of hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. They have the potential to deliver drugs effectively through different routes at specific site of action to achieve controlled release action and reduce toxic effects associated with drugs. This review discusses the general preparation techniques of proniosomes and mainly focus on the applications of proniosomes in drug delivery and targeting. Moreover, this review demonstrates critical appraisal of the literature for proniosomes. Additionally, this review extensively explains the potential of proniosomes in delivering drugs via different routes, such as oral, parenteral, dermal and transdermal, ocular, oral mucosal, vaginal, pulmonary, and intranasal. Finally, the comparison of proniosomes with niosomes manifests the clear distinction between them. Moreover, proniosomes need to be explored for proteins and peptide delivery and in the field of nutraceuticals and develop pilot plant scale up studies to investigate them in industrial set up.

A novel solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (S-SNEDDS) for improved stability and oral bioavailability of an oily drug, 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-3-acetyl-rac-glycerol. Drug Deliv 2017; 24:1018-1025. [PMID: 28675315 PMCID: PMC8240999 DOI: 10.1080/10717544.2017.1344335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2017] [Revised: 06/08/2017] [Accepted: 06/15/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
To develop a novel solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (S-SNEDDS) for a water-insoluble oily drug, 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-3-acetyl-rac-glycerol (PLAG) with improved stability and oral bioavailability, numerous S-SNEDDS were prepared with surfactant, hydrophilic polymer, antioxidant, and calcium silicate (porous carrier) using the spray-drying method. Their physicochemical properties were evaluated using emulsion droplet size analysis, SEM and PXRD. Moreover, the solubility, dissolution, stability, and pharmacokinetics of the selected S-SNEDDS were assessed compared with the drug and a commercial soft capsule. Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) with the highest drug solubility were selected as surfactant and hydrophilic polymer, respectively. Among the antioxidants tested, only butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) could completely protect the drug from oxidative degradation. The S-SNEDDS composed of PLAG/SLS/HPMC/BHA/calcium silicate at a weight ratio of 1: 0.25: 0.1: 0.0002: 0.5 provided an emulsion droplet size of less than 300 nm. In this S-SNEDDS, the drug and other ingredients might exist in the pores of carrier and attach onto its surface. It considerably improved the drug stability (about 100 vs. 70%, 60 °C for 5 d) and dissolution (about 80 vs. 20% in 60 min) compared to the commercial soft capsule. Moreover, the S-SNEDDS gave higher AUC, Cmax, and Tmax values than the commercial soft capsule; in particular, the former improved the oral bioavailability of PLAG by about 3-fold. Our results suggested that this S-SNEDDS provided excellent stability and oral bioavailability of PLAG. Thus, this S-SNEDDS would be recommended as a powerful oral drug delivery system for an oily drug, PLAG.
