Eur J Pharm Sci 2024; 195:106714. [PMID: 38301972 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2024.106714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, ivermectin (IVM), an antiparasitic drug of low water solubility and poor oral bioavailability, has shown a profound effect on inflammatory mediators involved in diseases, such as acute lung injury, lung fibrosis, and COVID-19. In order to maximize drug bioavailability, polymeric nanoparticles can be delivered through nebulizers for pulmonary administration. The aim of this study was to prepare IVM-loaded polycaprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles (NPs) by solvent evaporation method. Box-Benkhen design (BBD) was used to optimize entrapment efficiency (Y1), percent drug release after 6 h (Y2), particle size (Y3), and zeta potential (Y4). A study was conducted examining the effects of three independent variables: PCL-IVM ratio (A), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) concentration (B), and sonication time (C). The optimized formula was also compared to the oral IVM dispersion for lung deposition, in-vivo behavior, and pharmacokinetic parameters. The optimized IVM-PCL-NPs formulation was spherical in shape with entrapment efficiency (% EE) of 93.99 ± 0.96 %, about 62.71 ± 0.53 % released after 6 h, particle size of 100.07 ± 0.73 nm and zeta potential of -3.30 ± 0.23 mV. Comparing the optimized formulation to IVM-dispersion, the optimized formulation demonstrated greater bioavailability with greater area under the curve AUC0-t of 710.91 ± 15.22 μg .ml-1.h for lung and 637.97 ± 15.43 μg .ml-1.h for plasma. Based on the results, the optimized NPs accumulated better in lung tissues, exhibiting a twofold longer residence time (MRT 4.78 ± 0.55 h) than the IVM-dispersion (MRT 2.64 ± 0.64 h). The optimized nanoparticle formulation also achieved higher cmax (194.90 ± 5.01 μg/ml), and lower kel (0.21 ± 0.04 h-1) in lungs. Additionally, the level of inflammatory mediators was markedly reduced. To conclude, inhalable IVM-PCL-NPs formulation was suitable for the pulmonary delivery and may be one of the most promising approaches to increase IVM bioavailability for the successful treatment of a variety of lung diseases.

Abstract
Due to efficient drainage of the joint, the development of intra-articular depots for long-lasting drug release is a difficult challenge. Moreover, a disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug (DMOAD) that can effectively manage osteoarthritis has yet to be identified. The current study was undertaken to explore the potential of injectable, in situ forming implants to create depots that support the sustained release of punicalagin, a promising DMOAD. In vitro experiments demonstrated punicalagin's ability to suppress production of interleukin-1β and prostaglandin E2, confirming its chondroprotective properties. Regarding the entrapment of punicalagin, it was demonstrated by LC-MS/MS to be stable within PLGA in situ forming implants for several weeks and capable of inhibiting collagenase upon release. In vitro punicalagin release kinetics were tunable through variation of solvent, PLGA lactide:glycolide ratio, and polymer concentration, and an optimized formulation supported release for approximately 90 days. The injection force of this formulation steadily increased with plunger advancement and higher rates of advancement were associated with greater forces. Although the optimal formulation was highly cytotoxic to primary chondrocytes if cells were exposed immediately or shortly after implant formation, upwards of 70 % survival was achieved when the implants were first allowed to undergo a 24-72 h period of phase inversion prior to cell exposure. This study demonstrates a PLGA-based in situ forming implant for the controlled release of punicalagin. With modification to address cytotoxicity, such an implant may be suitable as an intra-articular therapy for OA.

Abstract
In situ forming depots (ISFDs) represent attractive alternatives to the conventional sustained drug delivery systems. Carvedilol, a short half-life drug used on a daily basis to manage chronic conditions, could benefit from this technology. The aim of this work was to develop, for the first time, a new injectable long-acting carvedilol-ISFD. Accordingly, 4 different grades of polyesters with varying properties as i) lactide-to glycolide ratio (polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) vs. polylactide (PLA)), and ii) end functionality (acid- vs. ester-capped) were utilized for the preparation of ISFD formulations. In addition, 4 different organic solvents with varying properties (i.e. N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethyl acetate, and benzyl benzoate) were also investigated. It was found that NMP and DMSO were more suitable for the formation of depots. Furthermore, all ISFD formulations demonstrated excellent encapsulation efficiency (i.e. 96-98%). Interestingly, both PLGA-based ISFDs (acid-capped and ester-capped) exhibited similar release behaviors and were able to extend carvedilol release over 30 days. On the other hand, acid-capped and ester-capped PLA-based ISFDs exhibited slower release over the 30 days with an average release of only 36% and 60%, respectively. In conclusion, the developed carvedilol-ISFDs resulted in a tunable extended-release behavior, simply by choosing the appropriate grade of polymer. These results open the door toward a novel injectable carvedilol-ISFD formulation.

Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15041199. [PMID: 37111684 PMCID: PMC10143341 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15041199] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Zein is composed of nonpolar amino acids and is a water-insoluble protein used as the matrix-forming agent of localized in situ forming gel (ISG). Therefore, this study prepared solvent removal phase inversion zein-based ISG formulations to load levofloxacin HCl (Lv) for periodontitis treatment using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and glycerol formal (GF) as the solvents. Their physicochemical properties were determined, including viscosity, injectability, gel formation, and drug release. The topography of dried remnants after drug release was revealed using a scanning electron microscope and X-ray computed microtomography (μCT) to investigate their 3D structure and % porosity. The antimicrobial activities were tested against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Candida albicans ATCC 10231, and Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277 with agar cup diffusion. Increasing zein concentration or using GF as the solvent notably enhanced the apparent viscosity and injection force of the zein ISG. However, its gel formation slowed due to the dense zein matrix barrier's solvent exchange: the higher loaded zein or utilization of GF as an ISG solvent prolonged Lv release. The SEM and μCT images revealed the scaffold of dried ISG in that their % porosity corresponded with their phase transformation and drug release behavior. In addition, the sustainability of drug diffusion promoted a smaller antimicrobial inhibition clear zone. Drug release from all formulations was attained with minimum inhibitory concentrations against pathogen microbes and exhibited a controlled release over 7 days. Lv-loaded 20% zein ISG using GF as a solvent exhibited appropriate viscosity, Newtonian flow, acceptable gel formation and injectability, and prolonged Lv release over 7 days with efficient antimicrobial activities against various test microbes; thus, it is the potential ISG formulation for periodontitis treatment. Consequently, the Lv-loaded solvent removal zein-based ISGs proposed in this investigation offer promising potential as an efficacious drug delivery system for periodontitis treatment by local injection.

Abstract
High percentage of diabetic people are diagnosed as type 2 who require daily dosing of an antidiabetic drug such as Linagliptin (Lina) to manage their blood glucose levels. This study aimed to develop injectable Lina-loaded biodegradable poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) in-situ implants (ISIs) to deliver a desired burst effect of Lina followed by a sustained release over several days for controlling the blood glucose levels over prolonged time periods. The morphological, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic assessments of the Lina-loaded ISIs were performed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study revealed the rapid exchange between the water miscible solvent (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone; NMP) and water during the ISI preparation, hence enhancing the initial burst Lina release. While, triacetin of lower water affinity could lead to formation of more compact and dense ISI structure with slower drug release. By comparing various ISI formulations containing different solvents and different PLGA concentrations, the ISI containing 40 % PLGA and triacetin was selected for its sustained release of Lina (93.06 ± 1.50 %) after 21 days. The pharmacokinetic results showed prolonged half life (t1/2) and higher area under the curve (AUC) values of the selected Lina-loaded ISI when compared to those of oral Lina preparation. The single Lina-ISI injection produced a hypoglycemic control in the diabetic rats very similar to the daily oral administration of Lina after 7 and 14 days. In conclusion, PLGA-based ISIs confirmed their suitability for prolonging Lina release in patients receiving long-term antidiabetic therapy, thereby achieving more enhanced patient compliance and reduced dosing frequency.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to design injectable long-acting poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)-based in situ gel implants (ISGI) loaded with the anti-diabetic alogliptin. Providing sustained therapeutic exposures and improving the pharmacological responses of alogliptin were targeted for achieving reduced dosing frequency and enhanced treatment outputs. In the preliminary study, physicochemical characteristics of different solvents utilized in ISGI preparation were studied to select a proper solvent possessing satisfactory solubilization capacity, viscosity, water miscibility, and affinity to PLGA. Further, an optimization technique using a 23 factorial design was followed. The blood glucose levels of diabetic rats after a single injection with the optimized formulation were compared with those who received daily oral alogliptin. N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), as highly water-miscible and low viscous solvents, demonstrated their effectiveness in successful ISGI preparation and controlling the burst alogliptin release. The impact of increasing lactide concentration and PLGA amount on reducing the burst and cumulative alogliptin release was represented. The optimized formulation comprising 312.5 mg of PLGA (65:35) and DMSO manifested a remarkable decrease in the rats’ blood glucose levels throughout the study period in comparison to that of oral alogliptin solution. Meanwhile, long-acting alogliptin-loaded ISGI systems demonstrated their feasibility for treating type 2 diabetes with frequent dosage reduction and patient compliance enhancement.

Abstract
Background Montelukast (MTK), a representative leukotriene receptor antagonist, is currently being investigated as a potential candidate for treating Alzheimer’s disease. For potent and effective dosing in elderly patients, a parenteral prolonged delivery system is favored, with improved medication adherence with reduced dosage frequency. Purpose This study aimed to design a nanocrystalline suspension (NS)-based MTK prolonged delivery system and evaluate its pharmacokinetics profile and local tolerability following subcutaneous administration. Methods To decelerate the dissolution rate, the amorphous MTK raw material was transformed into a crystalline state using a solvent-mediated transformation method and subsequently formulated into NS using a bead-milling technique. The MTK NSs were characterized by morphology, particle size, crystallinity, and in vitro dissolution profiles. The pharmacokinetic profile and local tolerability at the injection site following subcutaneous injection of MTK suspension were evaluated in rats. Results Microscopic and physical characterization revealed that the amorphous MTK powder was lucratively transformed into a crystalline form in acidic media (pH 4). MTK crystalline suspensions with different diameters (200 nm, 500 nm, and 3 μm) were uniformly prepared using bead-milling technology, employing polysorbate 80 as suspending agent. Prepared crystalline suspensions exhibited analogous crystallinity (melting point, 150°C) and size-dependent in vitro dissolution profiles. MTK NSs with particle sizes of 200 nm and 500 nm provided a protracted pharmacokinetic profile for up to 4 weeks in rats, with a higher maximum drug concentration in plasma than the 3 μm-sized injectable suspensions. Histopathological examination revealed that MTK NS caused chronic granulomatous inflammation at the injection site, which resolved after 4 weeks. Conclusion The MTK parenteral NS delivery system is expected to be a valuable tool for treating Alzheimer’s disease with extended dose intervals.

Abstract
In situ forming implants are exposed to an extracellular matrix resembling a gel rather than aqueous solution upon subcutaneous administration. The aim of study was to develop a gel-based release testing system for characterizing the long-term in vitro behavior of in situ forming implants. The gel-based system consisted of an agarose gel mimicking the subcutaneous injection site and a receiver layer comprising phosphate buffer. Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) in situ forming implants containing leuprolide acetate as the model peptide and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or triacetin as co-solvent were investigated. The gel-based release testing system discriminated between the formulations. Accelerated release data obtained at elevated temperatures were able to predict real-time release applying the Arrhenius equation. Monitoring of the microenvironmental pH of the implants was performed by UV-Vis imaging in the gel-based system at 50 °C. A pH drop (from pH 7.4 to 6.7 for the NMP and DMSO implants, to pH 5.5 for the triacetin implants) within the first day was observed, followed by an increase to pH ∼7.4. The gel-based system coupled with UV imaging offered opportunity for detailed evaluation and prediction of the in vitro performance of long-acting injectables, facilitating future development of in situ depot forming delivery systems.

Abstract
In situ forming implants, defined as liquid formulations that generate solid or semisolid depots following administration, have shown a range of advantages in drug delivery. This drug delivery strategy allows localized delivery, sustained drug release over periods of days to months, and is a less invasive option compared to traditional solid implants which typically require surgical implantation. Unfortunately, there are a number of quality control challenges in terms of drug release testing of these delivery systems which is likely to have contributed to the relatively few commercially available in situ forming implant products. This article reviews current marketed in situ forming implant products, FDA guidance on in vitro release testing, and formulation and environmental parameters influencing drug release from in situ forming implants. Formulation considerations for development of biological agents loaded in situ forming implants are also discussed. The advantages and limitations of typically used in vitro release testing methods are summarized. Difficulties in the development of in vitro-in vivo correlations (IVIVCs) for in situ forming implant are discussed. The knowledge presented will be helpful for the development of in situ forming implants, as well as for the development of appropriate in vitro testing methods and IVIVCs.

Abstract
This study evaluated in vitro and in vivo drug release of bedaquiline from in situ forming gels (ISGs) containing 200 mg eq./g bedaquiline fumarate salt prepared with four different grades of poly(d,l-lactide) (PDLLA) or poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) with a lactide/glycolide ratio of 50/50 or 75/25 and acid (A) or ester (E) end-capping in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone at a polymer/solvent ratio of 20/80% (w/w). Mean in vitro drug release in 0.05 M phosphate buffer pH 7.4 with 1% (w/v) sodium lauryl sulphate was 37.3, 47.1, 53.3, and 62.3% within 28 days for ISGs containing PLGA5050A, PDLLA, PLGA7525A, and PLGA7525E, respectively. The data suggested that drug release was primarily controlled by precipitated drug redissolving, rather than polymer erosion. In vivo pharmacokinetic profiles after subcutaneous injections in rats were comparable for all ISGs (mean half-lives (t1/2) ranged from 1411 to 1695 h) and indicated a sustained drug release when compared to a solution of bedaquiline fumarate salt in polyethylene glycol 400/water 50/50% (v/v) (mean t1/2 of 895 h). In conclusion, PLGA or PDLLA-based ISGs have shown potential for parenteral sustained delivery of bedaquiline, suggesting further preclinical and clinical studies. From a formulation point of view, this case example highlights the importance of the interplay between drug solubility in biological media and dissolution of drug precipitates, which, in addition to the incorporation of diffusion controlling polymers, governs the release of the active drug.

Abstract
As a result of the low oral bioavailability of several drugs, there is a renewed interest for parenteral administration to target their absorption directly into the blood bypassing the long gastrointestinal route and hepatic metabolism. In order to address the potential side effects of frequent injections, sustained release systems are the most popular approaches for achieving controlled long-acting drug delivery. Injectable in-situ forming implants (ISFIs) have gained greater popularity in comparison to other sustained systems. Their significant positive aspects are attributed to easier production, acceptable administration route, reduced dosing frequency and patient compliance achievement. ISFI systems, comprising biodegradable polymers such as poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) based on solvent exchange mechanisms, are emerged as liquid formulations that develop solid or semisolid depots after injection and deliver drugs over extended periods. The drug release from ISFI systems is generally characterized by an initial burst during the matrix solidification, followed by diffusion processes and finally polymeric degradation and erosion. The choice of suitable solvent with satisfactory viscosity, miscibility and biocompatibility along with considerable PLGA hydrophobicity and molecular weights is fundamental for optimizing the drug release. This overview gives a particular emphasis on evaluations and the wide ranges of requirements needed to achieve reasonable physicochemical characteristics of ISFIs.

Abstract
One of the major developments of the last decade is the preparation of in situ implant formulations.
Injectable, biocompatible and/or biodegradable polymer-based in situ implants are classified
differently due to implant formation based on in vivo solid depot or formation mechanisms inducing
liquid form, gel or solid depot. In this review, published studies to date regarding in situ forming implant
systems were compiled and their formation mechanisms, materials and methods used, routes of
administration, chemical and analytical characterizations, quality-control tests and in vitro dissolution
tests were compared in Tables and were evaluated. There are several advantages and disadvantages of
these dosage forms due to the formation mechanism, polymer and solvent type and the ratio used in
formulations and all of these parameters have been discussed separately. In addition, new generation
systems developed to overcome the difficulties encountered in in situ implants have been evaluated.
There are some approved products of in situ implant preparations that can be used for different indications
available on the market and the clinical phase studies nowadays. In vitro and in vivo data obtained
by the analysis of the application of new technologies in many studies evaluated in this review showed
that the number of approved drugs to be used for various indications would increase in the future.

Abstract
There has been a growing and evolving research to find a treatment or a prevention against coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Though mass vaccination will certainly help in reducing number of COVID-19 patients, an effective therapeutic measure must be available too. Intravenous remdesivir (RDV) was the first drug receiving Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the treatment of COVID-19. However, in a pandemic like COVID-19, it is essential that drug formulations are readily available, affordable and convenient to administer to every patient around the globe. In this study, we have developed a Self-injectable extended release subcutaneous injection of Remdesivir (SelfExRem) for the treatment of COVID-19. As opposed to intravenous injection, extended release subcutaneous injection has the benefits of reducing face-to-face contact, minimizing hospitalization, reducing dosing frequency and reducing overall health care cost. SelfExRem was developed using a biodegradable polymer, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), dissolved in a biocompatible vehicle. Six different batches were formulated using 2 different grades of low molecular weight PLGA and 3 different PLGA concentration. The force of injection of various polymeric solutions through 23–30-gauge needles were analyzed using a TA.XTplus texture analyzer. The time required for injection was evaluated both manually and by using an autoinjector. In vitro release of all the batches were carried out in 1% v/v tween 80 in phosphate buffer saline. The study indicated that SelfExRem developed with 15% w/v PLGA (75:25) provided a steady release of drug for 48 h and may be a breakthrough approach for the treatment of COVID-19.

Abstract
The metamorphosis of biodegradable polymers in biomedical applications is an auspicious myriad of indagation. The utmost challenge in clinical conditions includes trauma, organs failure, soft and hard tissues, infection, cancer and inflammation, congenital disorders which are still not medicated efficiently. To overcome this bone of contention, proliferation in the concatenation of biodegradable materials for clinical applications has emerged as a silver bullet owing to eco-friendly, nontoxicity, exorbitant mechanical properties, cost efficiency, and degradability. Several bioimplants are designed and fabricated in a way to reabsorb or degrade inside the body after performing the specific function rather than eliminating the bioimplants. The objective of this comprehensive is to unfurl the anecdote of emerging biological polymers derived implants including silk, lignin, soy, collagen, gelatin, chitosan, alginate, starch, etc. by explicating the selection, fabrication, properties, and applications. Into the bargain, emphasis on the significant characteristics of current discernment and purview of nanotechnology integrated biopolymeric implants has also been expounded. This robust contrivance shed light on recent inclinations and evolution in tissue regeneration and targeting organs followed by precedency and fly in the ointment concerning biodegradable implants evolved by employing fringe benefits provided by 3D printing technology for building tissues or organs construct for implantation.

Abstract
In recent years, the world has faced the issue of antibiotic resistance. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a significant problem in various treatments and control of infections. Biocompatible materials with saturated fatty acids of different chain lengths (C8-C18) were studied as matrix formers of localized injectable vancomycin HCl (VCM)-loaded antisolvent-induced in situ forming matrices. The series of fatty acid-based in situ forming matrices showed a low viscosity (5.47-13.97 cPs) and pH value in the range of 5.16-6.78, with high injectability through a 27-G needle (1.55-3.12 N). The preparations exhibited low tolerance to high concentrations of KH2PO4 solution (1.88-5.42% v/v) and depicted an electrical potential change during phase transformation. Their phase transition and matrix formation at the microscopic and macroscopic levels depended on the chain length of fatty acids and solvent characteristics. The VCM release pattern depended on the nucleation/crystallization and solvent exchange behaviors of the delivery system. The 35% w/v of C12-C16 fatty acid-based in situ forming matrix prolonged the VCM release over seven days in which C12, C14, C16 -based formulation reached 56, 84, and 85% cumulative drug release at 7th day. The release data fitted well with Higuchi's model. The developed formulations presented efficient antimicrobial activities against standard S. aureus, MRSA, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. Hence, VCM-loaded antisolvent-induced fatty acid-based in situ forming matrix is a potential local delivery system for the treatment of local Gram-positive infection sites, such as joints, eyes, dermis of surgery sites, etc., in the future.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
In situ-forming gels (semi-solid state) (ISFGs) are widely used as sustained drug delivery, but they show a high burst release as well. The purpose of the current study is to make triblock that can make a quick gel on injection with a minimum burst release.
Methods
In this study, to control the release of levothyroxine from ISFG, PLGA-PEG-PLGA (triblock) polymer was used. The melting method was employed to synthesize the triblock via ring-opening polymerization (ROP). Different weight percentages of triblock in the formulation were investigated to reach the minimum initial burst release of levothyroxine from ISFGs. Furthermore, the results of the in-situ forming implant (solid-state) (ISFI) of levothyroxine prepared from PLGA 504 H polymers were compared with ISFG.
Results
The melting method employed in this study showed a successful ROP of the triblock. As the % triblock concentration was increased from 30 to 50%, the initial burst release decreased significantly. The initial burst release levothyroxine from ISFG (6.52 ± 0.30%) was much lower than the amount of levothyroxine released from ISFI (14.15 ± 0.79%). No cytotoxicity was observed for the sustained-release formulation containing ISFG 50% according to the MTT assay.
Conclusion
The results indicated that this formulation was safe to be administered subcutaneously. As the synthesized triblock has thermosensitive properties, and also has the hydrogen bonding between the N-methyl pyrrolidone molecules and PEG, therefore, these properties make ISFG formulation to have a smaller initial burst release compared to ISFI formulation.

Abstract
In this work, we evaluated, for the first time, the antitumor effect of cannabidiol (CBD) as monotherapy and in combination with conventional chemotherapeutics in ovarian cancer and developed PLGA-microparticles as CBD carriers to optimize its anticancer activity. Spherical microparticles, with a mean particle size around 25 µm and high entrapment efficiency were obtained. Microparticles elaborated with a CBD:polymer ratio of 10:100 were selected due to the most suitable release profile with a zero-order CBD release (14.13 ± 0.17 μg/day/10 mg Mps) for 40 days. The single administration of this formulation showed an in vitro extended antitumor activity for at least 10 days and an in ovo antitumor efficacy comparable to that of CBD in solution after daily topical administration (≈1.5-fold reduction in tumor growth vs control). The use of CBD in combination with paclitaxel (PTX) was really effective. The best treatment schedule was the pre + co-administration of CBD (10 µM) with PTX. Using this protocol, the single administration of microparticles was even more effective than the daily administration of CBD in solution, achieving a ≈10- and 8- fold reduction in PTX IC50 respectively. This protocol was also effective in ovo. While PTX conducted to a 1.5-fold tumor growth inhibition, its combination with both CBD in solution (daily administered) and 10-Mps (single administration) showed a 2-fold decrease. These results show the promising potential of CBD-Mps administered in combination with PTX for ovarian cancer treatment, since it would allow to reduce the administered dose of this antineoplastic drug maintaining the same efficacy and, as a consequence, reducing PTX adverse effects.

Abstract
The in situ forming system has attracted attention for periodontitis treatment owing to its sustainable drug release localisation at a periodontal pocket. Given its low aqueous solubility, beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) may serve as a matrix former of solvent exchange-induced in situ forming gel (ISG) and microparticle (ISM). Meloxicam (Mex)-loaded-β-CD ISG and ISM were prepared using β-CD in dimethyl sulphoxide (ISG) as the internal phase and camellia oil comprising 5% glyceryl monostearate as the external phase (ISM). Mex-loaded β-CD systems comprising 40% β-CD were easily injected via a 24-gauge needle. During solvent exchange with phosphate buffer saline (pH 6.8), the highly concentrated β-CD ISG promoted the phase inversion of β-CD aggregates into matrix-like. Upon exposure to aqueous phase, the ISM system comprising 40% β-CD transformed into microparticles and extended the drug release to 7 days with minimised initial burst release following Fickian diffusion. Moreover, the potential degradability was evident from the high weight loss. High maximum deformation force with high viscous character initiated the slow diffusion rate of the solvent from the ISM system. Therefore, 40% β-CD ISM is a potential local Mex-controlled release system of anti-inflammatory drug for periodontitis treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Injectable in situ gel (ISG) systems suffer from high initial drug release that may result in toxic effects. OBJECTIVE This work aimed to develop an injectable sustained release rosuvastatin (RSV) ISG formulation with minimum initial drug burst and improved hyperlipidemic efficacy. METHODS Six formulation factors that affect RSV release after 0.5, 2 and 24 hrs have been screened and the significant ones were optimized utilizing an experimental design tool. The optimum ISG formulation components were physicochemically characterized. Kinetic treatment, dissolution efficiency and mean dissolution time were investigated for the developed ISG formulations. Pharmacodynamic effects of the optimized ISG formulation were studied and compared to ISG formulation loaded with free RSV and to a marketed oral drug product. RESULTS The concentration polylactide-co-ε-caprolactone (25: 75), the surfactant hydrophilic lipophilic balance (HLB) and the ratio of surfactant to polyethylene glycol 400 were significantly affecting the release of RSV during the first 24 h. Physicochemical characterization demonstrated complete dispersion of RSV in the polymeric matrix with slight changes in the drug crystalline structure. The optimized formulation demonstrated acceptable syringeability, good flow rate and was able to extend the in vitro drug release for 34 days. The ISG formulations complied with Weibull model. Pharmacodynamic study revealed a sustained reduction in the lipid profile that lasted for 21 days with a marked decrease in the lipid level during the first 24 hrs from the ISG system loaded with free RSV. CONCLUSION The optimized RSV ISG formulation could be considered a promising strategy due to a reduction in dosing frequency and enhancement in hypolipidemic efficacy.

Abstract
Bone injury is very serious in elder people or osteoporotic patients. In-situ forming implants (IFI) for bone rebuilding are usually poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA)-based, which have a burst release effect. This study aimed to prepare novel liquid lipid-based PLGA-IFI loaded with raloxifene hydrochloride for prolonged non-surgical treatment of bone injuries by applying solvent-induced phase inversion technique. Labrasol® and Maisine® were added to the selected IFI forming long lasting lipid-based IFI (LLL-IFI). The formulations were characterized by analysing their in-vitro drug release, solidification time, injectability, rheological properties, and DSC in addition to their morphological properties. Results revealed that the LLL-IFI composed of 10%w/v PLGA with a lactide to glycolide ratio of 75:25 with ester terminal and 10% Maisine® possessed the most sustained drug release and lowest burst effect, as well as delayed pore formation compared to its counterpart lacking Maisine®. The selected LLL-IFI and PLGA-IFI formulations were tested for their capability to enhance bone regeneration in bone injuries induced in rats. Both formulations succeeded in healing the bones completely with the superiority of LLL-IFI in the formation of well-organized bone structures lacking fibrous tissues. The results suggest that LLL-IFI and PLGA-IFI are innovative approaches for treating critical and non-critical sized bone injuries.

Abstract
Implantable drug delivery systems, such as drug pumps and polymeric drug depots, have emerged as means of providing predetermined drug release profiles at the desired site of action. While initial implants aimed at providing an enduring drug supply, developments in polymer chemistry and pharmaceutical technology and the growing need for refined drug delivery patterns have prompted the design of sophisticated drug delivery implants such as on-demand drug-eluting implants and personalized 3D printed implants. The types of cargo loaded into these implants range from small drug molecules to hormones and even therapeutic cells. This review will shed light upon recent advances in materials and composites used for polymeric implant fabrication, highlight select approaches employed in polymeric implant fabrication, feature medical applications where polymeric implants have a significant impact, and report recent advances made in these areas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The focus of this study was to develop in situ injectable implants of Lornoxicam which could provide sustained drug release. METHODS Biodegradable in situ injectable implants were prepared by polymer precipitation method using polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA). An optimized formulation was obtained on the basis of drug entrapment efficiency, gelling behavior and in vitro drug release. The compatibility of the formulation ingredients were tested by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and differential scanning colorimetry (DSC). SEM study was performed to characterize in vivo behavior of in situ implant. Pharmacokinetic study and in vivo gelling study of the optimized formulation were performed on Sprague-Dawley rats. Stability testing of optimized formulation was also performed. RESULTS The drug entrapment efficiency increased and burst release decreased with an increase in the polymer concentration. Sustained drug release was obtained up to five days. SEM photomicrographs indicated uniform gel formation. Chemical interaction between the components of the formulation was not observed by FT-IR and DSC study. Pharmacokinetic studies of the optimized formulation revealed that the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), time to achieve Cmax (Tmax) and area under plasma concentration curve (AUC) were significantly higher than the marketed intramuscular injection of lornoxicam. Stability study of optimized batch showed no change in physical and chemical characteristics. CONCLUSION Lornoxicam can be successfully formulated as in situ injectable implant that provides long-term management of inflammatory disorders with improved patient compliance.

Abstract
β-Cyclodextrin (β-CyD) is cyclic oligosaccharide of a glucopyranose, containing a relatively hydrophobic central cavity and hydrophilic outer surface. However, the usefulness of β-CyD is limited owing to its low aqueous solubility whereas we found that its apparent high solubility was evident in some injectable solvents including 2-pyrrolidone (PYR), N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Therefore, in the present study, the physicochemical properties of the 30–60% w/w β-CyD in PYR, NMP and DMSO were investigated such as viscosity, water resistant, matrix formation rate and syringeability. The higher the concentration of β-CyD resulted in the increased viscosity and the higher force and energy of syringeability. β-CyD in PYR gave the highest viscosity which contributed to the lowest syringeability while β-CyD in DMSO exhibited the highest syringeability. The β-CyD in DMSO and NMP exhibited the higher rate of matrix formation. β-CyD in PYR showed the highest water resistant for phase separation while β-CyD in NMP gave the faster de-mixing rate compared to that from PYR. The difference in physicochemical properties of β-CyD dried ppts studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that there was partial complexation of β-CyD with respective solvents. Both solution and precipitate characteristic properties will be useful for using β-CyD in further investigation as matrix material dissolved in the injectable vehicles as the in situ forming gel for periodontitis treatment.

A PLGA-reinforced PEG in situ gel formulation for improved sustainability of hypoglycaemic activity of glimepiride in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Sci Rep 2017; 7:16384.

Abstract
Glimepiride (GMD) is a third-generation sulfonylurea derivative and one of the top three most-prescribed oral antidiabetic drugs. The need for a depot formulation exists, and a safe and effective antidiabetic therapy is the goal of this study. The aims were to design a depot in situ gel (ISG) formulation and investigate the main factors that control the initial burst and sustain the GMD effect using the Box-Behnken design. The studied factors were polymer percent (X1), plasticizer percent (X2) and benzyl benzoate percent in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (X3). The results revealed that X2 is the only factor that showed significant effects on all investigated responses. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that an increase in PEG % improved the smoothness and reduced the porosity of the ISG formulation surface. The GMD plasma levels in diabetic rats revealed no significant difference (p < 0.05) between the maximum GMD plasma concentrations of the optimized GMD-ISG formula (10 mg/ kg) and oral marketed GMD tablets (1 mg/kg). This result ensures that the optimized formula does not exceed the maximum safe plasma concentration. In addition, the optimized GMD-ISG formulation showed a depot effect that lasted for 14 days post-injection. This approach to controlling GMD release using an in situ forming system could be useful for improving patient compliance and diabetes treatment effectiveness.

Abstract
Composite microparticles (MPs) with layered architecture, engineered from poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) and poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), are promising devices for achieving the delayed release of proteins. Here, we build on a water-in-oil-in-oil-in-water emulsion method of fabricating layered MPs with an emphasis on modulating the delay period of the protein release profile. Particle hardening parameters (i.e. polymer precipitation rate and total hardening time) following water-in-oil-in-oil-in-water emulsions are known to affect MP structure such as the core/shell material and cargo localization. We demonstrate that layered MPs fabricated with two different solvent evaporation parameters not only alter polymer and protein distribution within the hardened MPs, but also affect their protein release profiles. Secondly, we hypothesize that ethanol (EtOH), a semi-polar solvent miscible in both the solvent (dichloromethane; DCM) and non-solvent aqueous phases, likely alters DCM and water flux from the dispersed oil phase. The results reveal that EtOH affects protein distribution within MPs, and may also influence MP structural properties such as porosity and polymer distribution. To our knowledge, we are the first to demonstrate EtOH as a means for modulating critical release parameters from protein-loaded, layered PLGA/PLLA MPs. Throughout all the groups in the study, we achieved differential delay periods (between 0 - 30 days after an initial burst release) and total protein release periods (~30 - >58 days) as a function of solvent evaporation parameters and EtOH content. The layered MPs proposed in the study potentially have wide-reaching applications in tissue engineering for delayed and sequential protein release.

Abstract
Oral ketoconazole therapy is commonly associated with serious hepatotoxicity. Improving ocular drug delivery could be sufficient to treat eye fungal infections. The purpose of this study was to develop optimized ketoconazole poly(lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles (NPs) with subsequent loading into in situ gel (ISG) formulation for ophthalmic drug delivery. Three formulation factors were optimized for their effect on particle size (Y1) and entrapment efficiency (Y2) utilizing central composite experimental design. Interaction among components was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Ketoconazole crystalline state was studied using X-ray powder diffraction. Six different polymeric ISG formulations were prepared and loaded with either optimized NPs or a pure drug. The prepared ISG formulations were characterized for in vitro gelation, drug release and antifungal activity. The permeation through human epithelial cell line was also investigated. The results revealed that all the studied formulation parameters significantly affected Y1 and Y2 of the developed NPs. DSC and FTIR studies illustrated compatibility among NP components, while there was a change from the crystalline state to the amorphous state of the NPs. The in vitro release from the ISG formulations loaded with drug NPs showed sustained and enhanced drug release compared to pure drug formulations. In addition, ISG loaded with NPs showed enhanced anti-fungal activity compared to pure drug formulations. Alginate–chitosan ISG formulation loaded with optimized ketoconazole NPs illustrated higher drug permeation through epithelial cell lines and is considered as an effective ophthalmic drug delivery in the treatment of fungal eye infections.

Abstract
Bleached shellac (BS) is a water-insoluble polyester resin made up of sesquiterpenoid acids esterified with hydroxy aliphatic acids. In this study, BS dissolved in N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 2-pyrrolidone was used as the internal phase of oil in oil emulsion using olive oil emulsified with glyceryl monostearate (GMS) as the external phase of in situ forming microparticles (ISM). Doxycycline hyclate (DH)-loaded BS ISMs were tested for emulsion stability, viscosity, rheology, transformation into microparticles, syringeability, drug release, surface topography, in vitro degradation and antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis. All emulsions exhibited pseudoplastic flow and notably low syringeability force. Slower transformation from emulsion into microparticles of ISM prepared with 2-pyrrolidone was owing to slower solvent exchange of this solvent which promoted less porous structure of obtained BS matrix microparticles. The system containing 2-pyrrolidone exhibited a higher degradability than that prepared with DMSO. Developed DH-loaded BS ISMs exhibited a sustainable drug release for 47days with Fickian diffusion and effectively inhibited P. gingivalis, S. mutans and S. aureus. Therefore a DH-loaded BS ISM using olive oil containing GMS as the external phase and 2-pyrrolidone as a solvent was a suitable formulation for periodontitis treatment.

Abstract
To develop a montelukast sodium-loaded stable oral suspension bioequivalent to the commercial granules in rats, several montelukast sodium-loaded suspensions were prepared with a suspending agent, stabilizers and anti-aggregation agents, and their stabilities were investigated by visually observing the sedimentation phenomenon and determining the concentration of the degradation product. Moreover, dissolution and pharmacokinetic studies of the optimized formulation were examined in rats compared to commercial montelukast sodium-loaded granules. Avicel RC-591 (Avicel), a suspending agent, prevented the sedimentation of these suspensions at >2.496 (w/v) per cent composition. Amongst the stabilizers tested, fumaric acid provided the lowest concentration of montelukast sulphoxide (a degradation product) in these suspensions at 40 °C, demonstrating its excellent stabilizing activity. Furthermore, as an anti-aggregation agent, glycerin gave lower amounts of degradation product than those with poloxamer 407 and Tween 80. In particular, montelukast-loaded oral suspension, an aqueous suspension containing montelukast sodium/Avicel/fumaric acid/glycerin at a concentration of 312/2496/15.6/62.4 (mg/100 ml), and the commercial granules exhibited similar dissolution profiles in 0.5% (w/v) aqueous solution of sodium lauryl sulphate. Moreover, the pharmacokinetics in rats provided by this suspension was comparable to that of the commercial granules, suggesting that they were bioequivalent. In addition, it was physically and chemically stable at 40 °C for at least 6 months. Thus, this montelukast sodium-loaded oral suspension, with bioequivalence to the commercial granules and excellent stability, could be a prospective dosage form for the treatment of asthma.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop an optimized depot injectable atorvastatin (ATR) biodegradable in situ gel (ISG) system with minimum initial burst using a central composite design. The factors selected were poly (d, l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) concentration (X1), molecular weight of polyethylene glycol (PEG) (X2), and PEG concentration (X3). The independent variables were the initial burst of ATR after 2 (Y1) and 24 hours (Y2). The optimized formulation was investigated using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and in vitro drug release in phosphate-buffered saline of pH 7.4 for 72 hours. The in vivo pharmacokinetic study of the optimized ATR-ISG and the corresponding PEG-free ATR-ISG were conducted by intramuscular injection of a single dose (2 mg/kg) of ATR in male New Zealand White rabbits. A double-blind, randomized, parallel design was used in comparison with those of the marketed ATR tablet. Statistical analysis revealed that PLGA concentration and the molecular weight of PEG have pronounced effects on both Y1 and Y2. The optimized formulation was composed of 36.10% PLGA, PEG 6000, and 15.69% PEG, and exhibited characteristic in vitro release pattern with minimal initial burst. Incorporation of PEG in the formulation causes a slight decrease in the glass transition temperature value of PLGA, leading to a slight change in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectrum due to possible interaction. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy photomicrograph showed smooth surface with disappearance of the cracks which characterize the surface of PEG-free formulation. The pharmacokinetic data for the optimized depot injectable ATR-ISG showed a significant (P<0.05) decrease in maximum plasma concentration from 547.62 to 346.84 ng/mL, and increasing time to reach the maximum plasma concentration from 12 to 72 hours in comparison with the marketed tablet. The optimized ATR-ISG formulation has shown minimal initial drug burst which confirms the suitability of the ISG system in the prolongation of drug release in patients with chronic long-term therapy.

Abstract
Treatment of stroke, especially during the first hours or days, is still lacking. S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), a cerebroprotective agent with short life time, may help if administered early with a sustain delivery while avoiding intensive reduction in blood pressure. We developed in situ forming implants (biocompatible biodegradable copolymer) and microparticles (same polymer and solvent emulsified with an external oily phase) of GSNO to lengthen its effects and allow cerebroprotection after a single subcutaneous administration to Wistar rats. Arterial pressure was recorded for 3 days (telemetry, n = 14), whole-blood platelet aggregation up to 13 days (aggregometry, n = 58), and neurological score, cerebral infarct size and edema volume for 2 days after obstruction of the middle cerebral artery by autologous blood clots (n = 30). GSNO-loaded formulations (30 mg/kg) induced a slighter and longer hypotension (-10 vs. -56 ± 6 mmHg mean arterial pressure, 18 h vs. 40 min) than free GSNO at the same dose. The change in pulse pressure (-50%) lasted even up to 42 h for microparticles. GSNO-loaded formulations (30 mg/kg) prevented the transient 24 h hyper-aggregability observed with free GSNO and 7.5 mg/kg-loaded formulations. When injected 2 h after stroke, GSNO-loaded microparticles (30 mg/kg) reduced neurological score at 24 (-62%) and 48 h (-75%) vs. empty microparticles and free GSNO 7.5 mg/kg and, compared to free GSNO, divided infarct size by 10 and edema volume by 8 at 48 h. Corresponding implants reduced infarct size and edema volume by 2.5 to 3 times. The longer (at least 2 days) but slight effects on arterial pressures show sustained delivery of GSNO-loaded formulations (30 mg/kg), which prevent transient platelet hyper-responsiveness and afford cerebroprotection against the consequences of stroke. In conclusion, in situ GSNO-loaded formulations are promising candidates for the treatment of stroke.

AAPS PharmSciTech 2015; 16:973-85.

Abstract
Our previous studies revealed that the PLGA-based particulate systems loaded with cucurbitacin showed limited anti-melanoma efficiency in xenograft animal models after intratumoral injection, which was due to the undesirable initial burst release and the leakage of the particulate carriers from the injection site through the pinhole. In this paper, two categories of in situ-forming implants (ISFIs) for intratumoral injection, PLGA ISFIs and SAIB ISFIs, were systemically evaluated for their potentials for on solid tumor treatment via intratumoral injection. The in vitro drug release profiles of these two ISFIs were different due to the different sol-gel transition properties. The pharmacodynamics results revealed that SAIB ISFIs displayed obvious therapeutic efficiencies to melanoma, and multi-points injection of SASIB ISFIs displayed better efficiency than single-point injection. The different sol-gel transition properties and mechanism for PLGA ISFIs and SAIB ISFIs affected both the drug release and strongly impacted the pharmacokinetic parameters and pharmacodynamic effectiveness. Also, the adhesive property of SAIB to the local tissue could extend the retention and inhibit the leakage of the SAIB ISFIs, thus enhanced the anticancer effectiveness. Comparison of the various intratumoral injection systems, appropriate drug release profiles (lower initial burst and steady release) and good retention (minimum leakage from the injection site) would benefit to the antitumor effects of the intratumoral depots.
