Abstract
Cancer chemotherapeutic administration by oral route has the potential to create
“hospitalization free chemotherapy”. Such a therapeutic approach will improve patient
compliance and significantly reduce the cost of treatment. In current clinical practice,
chemotherapy is primarily carried out by intravenous injection or infusion and leads
to various unwanted effects. Despite the presence of oral delivery challenges like poor
aqueous solubility, low permeability, drug stability and substrate for multidrug efflux
transporter, cancer chemotherapy delivery through oral administration has gained much
attention recently due to having more patient compliance compared to the intravenous
mode of administration. In order to address the multifaceted oral drug delivery challenges,
a hybrid delivery system is conceptualized to merge the benefits of both polymeric
and lipid-based drug carriers. Polymer-lipid hybrid systems have presented various significant
benefits as an efficient carrier to facilitate oral drug delivery by surmounting the
different associated obstacles. This carrier system has been found suitable to overcome
the numerous oral absorption hindrances and facilitate the intravenous-to-oral switch in
cancer chemotherapy. In this review, we aimed to discuss the different biopharmaceutic
challenges in oral delivery of cancer chemotherapy and how this hybrid system may provide
solutions to such challenges.

Abstract
A large part of new pharmaceutical substances are characterized by a poor solubility and high hydrophobicity, which might lead to a difference in drug adsorption between fasted and fed patients. We have previously evaluated the release of hydrophobic drugs from tablets based on Pemulen TR2 and showed that the release can be manipulated by adding surfactants. Here we further evaluate the possibility to use Pemulen TR2 in controlled release tablet formulations containing a poorly soluble substance, griseofulvin. The release is evaluated in simulated intestinal media that model the fasted state (FaSSIF medium) or fed state (FeSSIF). The rheology of polymer gels is studied in separate experiments, in order to gain more information on possible interactions. The release of griseofulvin in tablets without surfactant varied greatly and the slowest release were observed in FeSSIF. Addition of SDS to the tablets eliminated the differences and all tablets showed a slow linear release, which is of obvious relevance for robust drug delivery. Comparing the data from the release studies and the rheology experiment showed that the effects on the release from the different media could to a large extent be rationalised as a consequence of the interactions between the polymer and the surfactants in the media. The study shows that Pemulen TR2 is a candidate for controlled release formulations in which addition of surfactant provides a way to eliminate food effects on the release profile. However, the formulation used needs to be designed to give a faster release rate than the tablets currently investigated.

Abstract
PURPOSE To engineer a hybrid nanocarrier system based on lipid and polymer for the nasal delivery of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), and further to investigate its physicochemical, molecular, microstructural, and stability aspects. METHODS Nanoparticles were prepared by melt emulsification-probe sonication technique. A 3(2) factorial design was used to identify key formulation variables influencing the characteristics of drug-loaded carrier. FT-IR, mass spectroscopy (MS) and (1)H NMR was used to probe molecular interactions among the components of the system, while the surface morphology was imagined through electron microscopy (TEM and SEM). Thermal analysis and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) was used to explore melting and crystallization behavior of drug and the carrier lipid. PLN-9 GEL was studied for its rheology, drug release, ex-vivo permeation, histopathology, and stability. RESULTS Batch PLN-9 had size of 239 nm, drug encapsulation of 87.14% and revealed spherical morphology. MS, FT-IR and (1)H NMR established compatibility between the drug (TDF) and the carrier lipid (Lauric acid), while, a strong H-bonding was identified between the amino (-NH2) group of drug and the carboxyl (-COOH) group of pemulen polymer. Thermal analysis confirmed an amorphous TDF within the carrier matrix. PXRD analysis indicated substantial change in the molecular packing and subcell structure of carrier lipid during the PLN processing. PLN-9 GEL had shear thinning rheology, an anomalous type (n>0.5) of drug release and possessed potential to transport TDF across the nasal mucosa with an average flux of 135.36 μg/cm(2)/h. CONCLUSION The designed carrier can encapsulate TDF and accentuates its transnasal flux, thus could be used as a carrier for an effective nasal delivery of TDF.

Abstract
The oral route for drug delivery is a widely accepted route. For that reason, many researchers are currently working to develop efficient oral drug delivery systems. Use of polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) and lipid carrier systems, including liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), has limitations such as drug leakage and high water content of dispersions. Thus, lipid polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LPNs) have been explored by the researchers to provide a better effect using properties of both polymers and lipids. The present review is focused on the challenges, possibilities, and future perspectives of LPNs for oral delivery.

Abstract
The release of lactose (hydrophilic) from polymer tablets made with hydrophobically modified poly(acrylic acid) (HMPAA) have been studied and compared to the release of ibuprofen, a hydrophobic active substance. Lactose is one of the most used excipients for tablets, but lactose release has not been widely studied. One reason could be a lack of good analytical tools. A novel biosensor with cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) was used to detect the lactose release, which has a polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDADMAC) layer that increases the response. A sample treatment using polyethylenimine (PEI) was developed to eliminate possible denaturants. The developed methodology provided a good approach to detect and quantify the released lactose. The release was studied with or without the presence of a model amphiphilic substance, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), in the release medium. Ibuprofen showed very different release rates in the different media, which was attributed to hydrophobic interactions between the drug, the HMPAA and the SDS in the release medium. The release of hydrophilic lactose, which did not associate to any of the other components, was rapid and showed only minor differences. The new methodology provides a useful tool to further evaluate tablet formulations by a relatively simple set of experiments.

Abstract
A new technique has been developed using NMR chemical shift imaging (CSI) to monitor water penetration and molecular transport in initially dry polymer tablets that also contain small low-molecular weight compounds to be released from the tablets. Concentration profiles of components contained in the swelling tablets could be extracted via the intensities and chemical shift changes of peaks corresponding to protons of the components. The studied tablets contained hydrophobically modified poly(acrylic acid) (HMPAA) as the polymer component and griseofulvin and ethanol as hydrophobic and hydrophilic, respectively, low-molecular weight model compounds. The water solubility of HMPAA could be altered by titration with NaOH. In the pure acid form, HMPAA tablets only underwent a finite swelling until the maximum water content of the polymer-rich phase, as confirmed by independent phase studies, had been reached. By contrast, after partial neutralization with NaOH, the polyacid became fully miscible with water. The solubility of the polymer affected the water penetration, the polymer release, and the releases of both ethanol and griseofulvin. The detailed NMR CSI concentration profiles obtained highlighted the clear differences in the disintegration/dissolution/release behavior for the two types of tablet and provided insights into their molecular origin. The study illustrates the potential of the NMR CSI technique to give information of importance for the development of pharmaceutical tablets and, more broadly, for the general understanding of any operation that involves the immersion and ultimate disintegration of a dry polymer matrix in a solvent.

Surfactants modify the release from tablets made of hydrophobically modified poly (acrylic acid). RESULTS IN PHARMA SCIENCES 2013; 3:7-14.

Abstract
Many novel pharmaceutically active substances are characterized by a high hydrophobicity and a low water solubility, which present challenges for their delivery as drugs. Tablets made from cross-linked hydrophobically modified poly (acrylic acid) (CLHMPAA), commercially available as Pemulen™, have previously shown promising abilities to control the release of hydrophobic model substances. This study further investigates the possibility to use CLHMPAA in tablet formulations using ibuprofen as a model substance. Furthermore, surfactants were added to the dissolution medium in order to simulate the presence of bile salts in the intestine. The release of ibuprofen is strongly affected by the presence of surfactant and/or buffer in the dissolution medium, which affect both the behaviour of CLHMPAA and the swelling of the gel layer that surrounds the disintegrating tablets. Two mechanisms of tablet disintegration were observed under shear, namely conventional dissolution of a soluble tablet matrix and erosion of swollen insoluble gel particles from the tablet. The effects of surfactant in the surrounding medium can be circumvented by addition of surfactant to the tablet. With added surfactant, tablets that may be insusceptible to the differences in bile salt level between fasted or fed states have been produced, thus addressing a central problem in controlled delivery of hydrophobic drugs. In other words CLHMPAA is a potential candidate to be used in tablet formulations for controlled release with poorly soluble drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emulgel topical formulation is a vehicle of potential for topical delivery of antifungal drugs. METHODS The imidazole derivative antifungal drug, clotrimazole (CZ), was formulated into emulgels using two grades of hydrophobically modified co-polymers of acrylic acid, namely Pemulen TR1 and TR2. The prepared emulgels were evaluated for their rheological properties, short- and long-term stability, in vitro release at 37°C. Microbiological evaluation of the formula showed that optimum stability and release was carried out to measure its antifungal activity. RESULTS All formulae showed non-Newtonian shear thinning behavior with little thixotropy or antithixotropy. Five of the prepared formulae showed good physical stability under different treatment conditions. Isopropyl myristate (IPM) emulgels exhibited higher rate of CZ release than either jojoba oil (JB) or liquid paraffin-based emulgels. A selected formula containing JB together with a combination of Pemulen TR1 and TR2 showed excellent stability as well as high rate of CZ release. Microbiological evaluation of the selected formula containing similar amount of CZ revealed 1.2-folds increase in the antifungal activity compared to commercially available formulation. CONCLUSION Emulgel dosage form based on Pemulen polymeric emulsifier and JB is a promising vehicle for topical delivery of CZ and further in vivo animal studies are recommended.
