Statistical modeling, optimization and characterization of andrographolide loaded emulgel for its therapeutic application on skin cancer through enhancing its skin permeability. Saudi Pharm J 2024; 32:102068. [PMID: 38699597 PMCID: PMC11063646 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsps.2024.102068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Andrographolide is a natural diterpene lactone with multiple biological effects. In the present study, a total of 11 andrographolide-loaded emulgels (ANG 1- ANG 11) were prepared by emulsification and solvent evaporation method using flaxseed oil and xanthan gum in different ratios, as suggested by the Design-Expert software. A 2-factor-5-level design was employed with different responses including spreadability, extrudability, viscosity, and drug release after 1 h (h) and 24 h. Based on the Design-Expert software response, the optimized emulgel ANG 12 was formulated and evaluated. The 24 h In-vitro drug release was found to be 95.7 % following Higuchi kinetics. Ex-vivo skin retention of 784.78 ug/cm2 was observed during the study. MTT assay performed on Human epidermoid carcinoma (A-431) cells demonstrated cell growth arrest at G0/G1 and G2/M phase after 24 h of ANG 12 treatment (IC50: 11.5 µg/ml). The cellular permeability of ANG-12 was assessed by Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) assay. Compared to untreated cells (0.54 % uptake) the ANG-12 treated cells had shown 87.17 % FITC permeation. The biocompatibility study performed on non-cancerous human dermal fibroblast cells (HDF cells) shows 91.54 % viability after 24 h of the treatment showing the non-toxic nature of ANG-12. Confocal imaging had shown a significant time-dependent increase in in-vivo cellular uptake with enhanced, progressive penetration of the emulgel into the skin. An in-vivo skin irritation study conducted on Swiss albino mice confirmed the safety aspects of the ANG 12. Hence, it can be concluded that nanoemulgel of andrographolide (ANG 12) could be a novel approach to treating skin cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Excessive skin exposure to deleterious environmental variables results in inflammation as well as molecular and cellular impairments that compromise its functionality, aesthetic qualities, and overall well-being. The implementation of topical administration of antioxidants and other compounds as a method for preventing or reversing damage is a rational approach. Numerous phenolic compounds derived from plants have demonstrated capabilities such as scavenging free radicals and promoting tissue healing. However, the primary obstacle lies in effectively delivering these compounds to the specific place on the skin, and accurately forecasting their diffusion through the skin can assist in determining the most effective tactics. Hence, this article provides a comprehensive analysis of recent literature pertaining to the in vitro skin diffusion characteristics of plant phenolics. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of their behaviour when present in various forms such as solutions, suspensions, and formulations. METHOD The data on plant extracts and isolated plant phenolic compounds in vitro skin diffusion assays published over the last six years were compiled and discussed. RESULTS Even though the gold standard Franz diffusion cell is the most commonly used in the assessment of in vitro plant phenolic skin diffusion profiles, a plethora of skin models and assay conditions are reported for a variety of compounds and extracts in different vehicles. CONCLUSION The presence of numerous models and vehicles poses a challenge in creating correlations among the existing data on plant phenolic compounds. However, it is possible to draw some general conclusions regarding molecular, vehicle, and skin characteristics based on the gathered information.

Abstract
The synergism between thermoresponsive and bioadhesive polymers can lead to the optimization of materials with enhanced mechanical and bioadhesive properties. Quality by Design can assure the understanding and control of formulation variables. In this approach, Design of Experiment has been widely utilized as an important strategy. Poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic anhydride) (PVMMA) is a bioadhesive polymer and Pluronic F127 (PF127) shows thermoresponsiveness. The association of these two polymers has been poorly investigated. The aim of this work was to study the mechanical, bioadhesive and rheological properties of polymer mixtures composed of PVMMA and PF127, in order to select the best conditions and formulations for biomedical applications. Textural properties (hardness, compressibility, adhesiveness, cohesiveness and elasticity), softness index, bioadhesion and rheological characteristics (flow and viscoelasticity) showed that 17.5-20% (w/w) PF127-polymer mixtures displayed improved values of the parameters. However, the rheological interaction parameter showed low synergism, due to the polymers' characteristics and system organization. The formulations displayed gelation temperatures suitable for administration, with improved bioadhesive properties mainly at 34 °C and suggests the formulations can be used for biomedical applications. DoE constituted an important tool to investigate these systems showing the main effects that significantly influence the binary mixtures.

Abstract
Recently, the number of new cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis has been of concern among health agencies. Research that offers new therapeutic alternatives is advantageous, especially those that develop innovative drugs. Therefore, this paper presents the incorporation of Copaifera reticulata Ducke and chlorophyll extract into Pluronic®® F127 and Carbopol gels, under optimized polymer quantities. The chlorophyll extract (rich in photosensitizing compounds) was obtained by continuous-flow pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), a clean, environmentally friendly method. The system aims to act as as a leishmanicidal, cicatrizant, and antibiotic agent, with reinforcement of the photodynamic therapy (PDT) action. Rheological and mechanical analyses, permeation studies and bioadhesiveness analyses on human skin, and PDT-mediated activation of Staphylococcus aureus were performed. The emulgels showed gelation between 13° and 15 °C, besides pseudoplastic and viscoelastic properties. Furthermore, the systems showed transdermal potential, by releasing chlorophylls and C. reticulata Ducke into the deep layers of human skin, with good bioadhesive performance. The application of PDT reduced three logarithmic colony-forming units of S. aureus bacteria. The results support the potential of the natural drug for future clinical trials in treating wounds and cutaneous leishmania.

Abstract
The use of innate products for the fast and efficient promotion of healing process has been one of the biomedical sector's main bets for lesion treatment modernization process. The aim of this study was to develop and characterize bacterial cellulose-based (BC) wound dressings incorporated with green and red propolis extract (2 to 4%) and the active compounds p-coumaric acid and biochanin A (8 to 16 mg). The characterization of the nine developed samples (one control and eight active wound dressings) evidenced that the mechanics, physics, morphological, and barrier properties depended not only on the type of active principle incorporated onto the cellulosic matrix, but also on its concentration. Of note were the results found for transparency (28.59-110.62T600 mm-1), thickness (0.023-0.046 mm), swelling index (48.93-405.55%), water vapor permeability rate (7.86-38.11 g m2 day-1), elongation (99.13-262.39%), and antioxidant capacity (21.23-86.76 μg mL-1). The wound dressing based on BC and red propolis was the only one that presented antimicrobial activity. The permeation and retention test revealed that the wound dressing containing propolis extract presented the most corneal stratum when compared with viable skin. Overall, the developed wound dressing showed potential to be used for treatment against different types of dermal lesions, according to its determined proprieties.

Abstract
In the present study, topical gel and emulsion gel were formulated using Acrylamide/ Sodium Acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer (Sepineo P600) as a gelling agent, and their rheological attributes and physical stability were evaluated upon incorporation of API. Lidocaine, a free base drug (pKa 7.92) was used as a model drug in all formulations. Medium- chain Triglycerides (MCT) was used as a dispersed phase to prepare the emulgel. Results show that the rheological properties of both gel and emulgel such as viscosity, elastic moduli and yield stress were significantly influenced by the pH of the topical formulations and API concentration. A lower pH (pH < pKa) leads to the increase in number of cationic species of lidocaine, which results in the weakening of the structure of the gel matrix by charge screening of polymer-polymer repulsions. Interactions between API and polymer chains through electrostatic attraction may play a major role in altering the rheology, which could potentially impact the physical stability against phase separation of the internal phase in emulsion gel samples. This study provides valuable insights into rheological behaviors of Sepineo P600 gel and emulgel which can be modified or tuned though the interplay of the API properties and critical formulation parameters such as pH. The tunable rheological properties with simpler manufacturing process make Sepineo P600 gel and emulsion gel very suitable systems for use in semisolid topical formulations.

Abstract
This study presents a phytotherapeutic emulsion-filled gel design composed of Pluronic® F127, Carbopol® C934P, and high level of copaiba oil-resin (PHY-ECO). Mathematical modeling and response surface methodology (RSM) were employed to access the optimal ratio between the oil and the polymer gel-matrix constituents. The chemometric approach showed robust mechanical and thermoresponsive properties for emulsion gel. The model predicts viscosity parameters at 35.0°C (skin temperature) from PHY-ECOs. Optimized PHY-ECOs were described by 18-20% (w/w) F127, 0.25% (w/w) C934P, and 15% (w/w) copaiba oil-resin, and showed interfacial layers properties that led to high physicochemical stability. Besides, it had thermal stimuli-responsive that led large viscosity range before and after skin administration, observed by oscillatory rheology. These behaviors give the optimized smart PHY-ECO high design potential to be used as a pharmaceutical platform for CO delivery, focusing on the anti-inflammatory therapy and skin wound care.

Abstract
Oleogels are semi-solid materials containing a large fraction of liquid oil entrapped in a network of structuring molecules. In the food industry, these formulations can be used to mimic fats and to deliver bioactive compounds. In the last decade, there has been increasing interest in these structures, not only from a scientific point of view, i.e., studying new molecules, methodologies for gelification, and new structures, but also from a technological point of view, with researchers and companies exploring these structures as a way to overcome certain challenges and/or create new and innovative products. One of the exciting applications of oleogels is the delivery of functional molecules, where the incorporation of oil-soluble functional compounds can be explored not only at the macroscale but also at micro- and nanoscales, resulting in different release behaviors and also different applications. This review presents and discusses the most recent works on the development, production, characterization, and applications of oleogels and other oleogel-based systems to deliver functional molecules in foods.
