FRONTIERS IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY 2024; 6:1388113. [PMID: 38915350 PMCID: PMC11194328 DOI: 10.3389/fmedt.2024.1388113] [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: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Preformulation investigations into the development of drug formulations, encompassing considerations related to the structure of the drug, excipients, composition, and physical attributes are crucial. This phase is pivotal in ensuring the ultimate success of nanoemulsion development. The objective of this study was to evaluate and define the properties of bedaquiline (BDQ) and the necessary excipients for the formulation of self-emulsifying BDQ-loaded nanoemulsions. To determine the saturation solubility of BDQ in various oils, an in-house validated HPLC method was used. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was utilised to identify and evaluate the compatibility between BDQ and the selected excipients. The water titration method was used to construct phase diagrams to identify the type of structure that resulted following emulsification and to characterise the behaviour of mixtures along dilution paths. The solubility studies revealed that BDQ exhibited the highest solubility in olive oil, with a solubility of 3.45 ± 0.041 mg/ml. The design space led to the formation of emulsions categorised as Winsor products. Importantly, the FTIR data indicated the absence of any potential interactions between BDQ and the chosen excipients. The preformulation studies were successful and facilitated the selection of compatible and suitable excipients for the formulation of BDQ-loaded nanoemulsions.

Abstract
In the present study, we developed and validated a rapid, specific, sensitive, and reproducible liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry method for quantifying quercetin (QT) in rabbit plasma using hydrochlorothiazide as the internal standard. Animals were orally administered with optimized QT-loaded nanoemulsion (QTNE) and QT suspension (QTS), equivalent to 30 mg/kg, to the test and control group, respectively. The blood samples were collected at pre-determined time points up to 48 h. The linearity range was from 5 to 5000 ng mL-1 with R 2 = 0.995. Further, we analyzed the various pharmacokinetic parameters and established the in vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVC) of QTNE using GastroPlus software. The method was successfully developed and validated, and when applied for the determination of QT in rabbit plasma, it exhibited an increase in C max from 122.56 ng mL-1 (QTS) to 286.51 ng mL-1 (QTNE) (2.34-fold) and AUC0-48 from 976 ng h mL-1 (QTS) to 4249 ng h mL-1 (QTNE) (4.35-fold), indicating improved oral bioavailability QT when administered as QTNE. Statistical analysis revealed that the Loo-Riegelman method (two-compartmental method) best fitted the deconvolution approach (R 2 = 0.998, SEP = 4.537, MAE = 2.759, and AIC = 42.38) for establishing the IVIVC. In conclusion, the established bioanalytical method and IVIVC studies revealed that QTNE is a potential carrier for the effective delivery of QT with enhanced oral bioavailability.

Abstract
Niclosamide is an FDA-approved oral anthelmintic drug currently being repurposed for COVID-19 infection. Its interesting applicability in multiple therapeutic indications has sparked interest in this drug/ scaffold. Despite its therapeutic use for several years, its detailed solubility information from Chemistry Manufacturing & Controls perspective is unavailable. Thus, the present study is intended to determine the mole fraction solubility of niclosamide in commonly used solvents and cosolvents at a temperature range of 298.15–323.15 K. The polymorphic changes from crystalline to monohydrate forms post-equilibration in various solvents were observed. The maximum mole fraction solubility of niclosamide at 323.15 K is 1.103 × 10-3 in PEG400, followed by PEG200 (5.272 × 10-4), 1-butanol (3.047 × 10-4), 2-propanol (2.42 × 10-4), ethanol (1.66 × 10-4), DMSO (1.52 × 10-4), methanol (7.78 × 10-5) and water (3.27 × 10-7). The molecular electrostatic potential showed a linear correlation with the solubility. PEG400 has higher electrostatic potential, and H-bond acceptor count, which forms a hydrogen bond with phenolic –OH of niclosamide and thus enhances its solubility. This data is valuable for the drug discovery and development teams working on the medicinal chemistry and process chemistry of this scaffold.

Abstract
Poor aqueous solubility of drugs is still a foremost challenge in pharmaceutical product development. The use of lipids in designing formulations provides an opportunity to enhance the aqueous solubility and consequently bioavailability of drugs. Pre-dissolution of drugs in lipids, surfactants, or mixtures of lipid excipients and surfactants eliminate the dissolution/dissolving step, which is likely to be the rate-limiting factor for oral absorption of poorly water-soluble drugs. In this review, we exhaustively summarize the lipids excipients in relation to their classification, absorption mechanisms, and lipid-based product development. Methodologies utilized for the preparation of solid and semi-solid lipid formulations, applications, phase behaviour, and regulatory perspective of lipid excipients are discussed.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to prepare a stable apigenin nanosuspension with a drug concentration of 1.11 mg/mL through green and efficient antisolvent method. Compared with the traditional preparation process that may use toxic reagents, in this study, a green and effective strategy was applied for the preparation of stable apigenin nanosuspension by using an antisolvent method with PEG 400 as antisolvent to improve the solubility and bioavailability. It was found that the particle size of apigenin nanosuspension was about 280 nm, and the solubility and dissolution of the nanosuspension were 33 and 3 times higher than that of the apigenin, respectively. Pharmacokinetic study showed that the Cmax and AUC 0-8 h values of the nanosuspension in fasting rats achieved about 6- and 2.5-fold enhancement than that of the apigenin, respectively. Stability test showed that the apigenin nanosuspension could be stored stably for 12 months at 25℃. Taken together, the antisolvent method with PEG 400 was proven to be a green and effective method to prepare the stable nanosuspension of poorly soluble drugs.

Abstract
Salification has a successful track record in modulating the biopharmaceutical properties of drugs. This is evident from the significant share (40%) of pharmaceutical salts in FDA-approved drugs in the past 80-years. Based on the ionic nature of drugs, the corresponding cationic or anionic counterions are employed for salification. This review aims to provide the contribution of cationic counterions in FDA-approved drugs from 1939 to 2020. The analysis of 80-years data has shown that the 7.1% of the FDA-approved drugs comprise cationic counterions (98 pharmaceutical salts). Heparin sodium is the pioneering drug in the history of pharmaceutical salts that was approved in 1939 as an anticoagulant medication. Inorganic (sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, silver), as well as organic (tromethamine, meglumine, erbumine) cationic counterions, were used in FDA-approved drugs with a major share by sodium (76 drugs). The technical superiority of cationic salts over other salt forms and the parent drug is also exemplified using case studies.

Abstract
Food waste is a global problem due to its environmental and economic impact, so there is great demand for the exploitation of new functional applications. The winemaking process leads to an incomplete extraction of high-value compounds, leaving the pomace still rich in polyphenols. This study was aimed at optimising and validating sustainable routes toward the extraction and further valorisation of these polyphenols, particularly for cosmeceutical applications. New formulations based on red grape pomace polyphenols and natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDESs) were here investigated, namely betaine combined with citric acid (BET-CA), urea (BET-U) and ethylene glycol (BET-EG), in which DESs were used both as extracting and carrying agents for polyphenols. The flavonoid profile determined by HPLC-MS/MS analysis showed similar malvidin content (51-56 μg mL-1) in the DES combinations, while BET-CA gave the best permeation performance in Franz cells, so it was further investigated in 3D human keratinocytes (HaCat spheroids) injured with the pro-oxidant agent menadione. BET-CA treatment showed good intracellular antioxidant activity (IC50 0.15 ± 0.02 μg mL-1 in malvidin content) and significantly decreased (p < 0.001) the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-8, improving cell viability. Thus, BET-CA formulation is worthy of investigation for potential use as a cosmetic ingredient to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, which are causes of skin aging.

Abstract
The content and the application of pharmaceutical dosage forms must meet several basic
requirements to ensure and maintain efficiency, safety and quality. A large number of active substances
have a limited ability to direct administration. Excipients are generally used to overcome the limitation
of direct administration of these active substances. However, the function, behavior and composition of
the excipients need to be well known in the design, development and production of pharmaceutical
dosage forms. In this review, excipients used to assist in any pharmaceutical dosage form production
processes of drugs, to preserve, promote or increase stability, bioavailability and patient compliance, to
assist in product identification/separation, or to enhance overall safety and effectiveness of the drug
delivery system during storage or use are explained. Moreover, the use of these excipients in drug delivery
systems is identified. Excipient toxicity, which is an issue discussed in the light of current studies,
also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Segesterone acetate (SA) is a promising and recently approved drug substance used as a contraceptive. SA has two major polymorphic forms, Form I and II. We have shown through indirect analysis that Form I is the more thermodynamically stable polymorphic form at room temperature, however, during the manufacturing process of SA drug products the solid-state stability must be shown to be under control. In the present work, a systematic study has been done using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), Fourier Transformed Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and room temperature Raman spectroscopy on both micronized and non-micronized SA powder samples. XRPD showed a crystalline structure in both powder samples with a distinct coexistence of the polymorphic Forms I and II which was confirmed by FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. The study showed that after thermal annealing a noticeable reduction of the amount of polymorphic Form II was found in both samples. Our results suggest the possibility of reducing the amount of SA Form II by thermal treatment inducing an irreversible solid-state transition to yield the thermodynamically more stable polymorphic Form I. To quantify the ratio of polymorphs I and II we have implemented a method that can be used as a routine analysis step in the manufacturing process of SA.

Abstract
Around half of the new molecular entities approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are pharmaceutical salts. The pharmaceutical salts have been on a continuous growth trajectory since the approval of the first salt form in 1939. This review aims to provide updates on pharmaceutical salts approved by the FDA between 2015 and 2019. The five-year drug-approval database contains 61 pharmaceutical salts, featuring a diverse range of counterions; however, hydrochlorides are the most abundant. The chemical structures of all pharmaceutical salts in each class are presented here, along with their therapeutic indications and date of approval. The reason behind the selection of a particular counterion and the technical superiority achieved by the salt form over the free active pharmaceutical ingredient base are also discussed.

Abstract
IIIM-290, an orally bioavailable preclinical candidate is effective in human xenograft models of leukemia, colon and pancreatic cancer. The promising preclinical data of this lead candidate has shown its potential for clinical development. As a part of its preclinical development, impurity profiling of pilot scale batches is one of the most important component of the CMC documentation. Herein, we report impurity profiling, its quantification in different scale-up batches and analytical method validation. Three impurities ranging from 0.09 to 1.25% in preclinical anticancer candidate, IIIM-290 were detected by validated HPLC method. The impurities (Imp-A, Imp-B and Imp-F) were isolated from the partially purified batch of IIIM-290 using semi-preparative HPLC. Isolated impurities were characterized by 1H, 13C NMR, FTIR and ESI-MS spectral data. Based on the characterization data, the sources of these impurities were identified as unreacted starting material (Imp-A), impurity from botanical raw material (Imp-B; impurity carried from starting material) and the chemically transformed product (Imp-F) of Imp-B, respectively.

[PMID: 30682399 DOI: 10.1016/j.addr.2019.01.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2018] [Revised: 12/14/2018] [Accepted: 01/19/2019] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Lipid-based formulations, including self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS), are an interesting formulation technology that enables the clinical use of compounds for which a low aqueous solubility may be a limitation. From an academic perspective, the technology is interesting on several levels: what drives solubility, what determines bioperformance, what is the potential for solidification etc. From an industrial perspective, >35 lipid-based formulations are available and there is an unknown number of projects in the pipeline. Hence, while there is scientific interest from both academic and industrial perspectives, the agendas/needs in the two settings are different. From an industrial perspective, risks are associated with uncertainty; hence the more that is known about a technology the better - knowledge that in principle can be generated in both the academia and industry. This focuses on the development of lipid-based formulations and the knowledge gaps that could be investigated -with the hope that all stakeholders in the field of lipid-based formulations, including academia, industry, CRO's, lipid excipient manufacturers etc., would share their insight, so that this technology can be even further developed. Some of the gaps discussed include the selection of compounds suited for lipid-based formulations, which potential modifications that could be investigated, e.g., lipophilic salts, what is a relevant definition of accelerated stability studies, how best to construct an industrial development program of a lipid-based formulation, etc.

Salamanca CH, Barrera-Ocampo A, Lasso JC, Camacho N, Yarce CJ. Franz Diffusion Cell Approach for Pre-Formulation Characterisation of Ketoprofen Semi-Solid Dosage Forms. Pharmaceutics 2018; 10:E148. [PMID: 30189634 PMCID: PMC6161298 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics10030148] [Citation(s) in RCA: 80] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2018] [Revised: 08/31/2018] [Accepted: 09/02/2018] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate and compare, using the methodology of Franz diffusion cells, the ketoprofen (KTP) releasing profiles of two formulations: A gel and a conventional suspension. The second aim was to show that this methodology might be easily applied for the development of semi-solid prototypes and claim proof in pre-formulation stages. Drug release analysis was carried out under physiological conditions (pH: 5.6 to 7.4; ionic strength 0.15 M; at 37 °C) for 24 h. Three independent vertical Franz cells were used with a nominal volume of the acceptor compartment of 125 mL and a diffusion area of 2.5 cm². Additionally, two different membranes were evaluated: A generic type (regenerated cellulose) and a transdermal simulation type (Strat-M®). The KTP permeation profiles demonstrated that depending on the membrane type and the vehicle used, the permeation is strongly affected. High permeation efficiencies were obtained for the gel formulation, and the opposite effect was observed for the suspension formulation. Moreover, the permeation studies using Strat-M membranes represent a reproducible methodology, which is easy to implement for pre-formulation stage or performance evaluation of semi-solid pharmaceutical products for topical or transdermal administration.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate if AZD5329, a dual neurokinin NK1/2 receptor antagonist, is a suitable candidate for further development as an oral immediate release (IR) solid dosage form as a final product. The neutral form of AZD5329 has only been isolated as amorphous material. In order to search for a solid material with improved physical and chemical stability and more suitable solid-state properties, a salt screen was performed. Crystalline material of a maleic acid salt and a fumaric acid salt of AZD5329 were obtained. X-ray powder diffractiometry, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic vapor sorption were used to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of the two salts. The fumarate salt of AZD5329 is anhydrous, the crystallization is reproducible and the hygroscopicity is acceptable. Early polymorphism assessment work using slurry technique did not reveal any better crystal modification or crystallinity for the fumarate salt. For the maleate salt, the form isolated originally was found to be a solvate, but an anhydrous form was found in later experiments; by suspension in water or acetone, by drying of the solvate to 100-120 °C or by subjecting the solvate form to conditions of 40 °C/75%RH for 3 months. The dissolution behavior and the chemical stability (in aqueous solutions, formulations and solid-state) of both salts were also studied and found to be satisfactory. The compound displays sensitivity to low pH, and the salt of the maleic acid, which is the stronger acid, shows more degradation during stability studies, in line with this observation. The presented data indicate that the substance fulfils basic requirements for further development of an IR dosage form, based on the characterization on crystalline salts of AZD5329.

Abstract
In this work, the relationship between surface properties and drug release mechanism from binary composition tablets formed by quetiapine fumarate and biopolymer materials was studied. The biopolymers correspond to xanthan and tragacanth gums, which are projected as modified drug release systems. The surface studies were carried out by the sessile drop method, while the surface free energy (SFE) was determinate through Young-Dupree and OWRK semi-empirical models. On the other hand, the drug release studies were performed by in vitro dissolution tests, where the data were analyzed through kinetic models of zero order, first order, Higuchi, and Korsmeyer-Peppas. The results showed that depending on the type and the proportion of biopolymer, surface properties, and the drug release processes are significantly affected, wherein tragacanth gum present a usual erosion mechanism, while xanthan gum describes a swelling mechanism that controls the release of the drug.

Abstract
Chagas disease is an endemic parasitic infection that occurs in 21 Latin American countries. New therapies for this disease are urgently needed, as the only two drugs available (nifurtimox and benznidazol) have high toxicity and variable efficacy in the disease’s chronic phase. Recently, a new chemical entity (NCE) named Pyranaphthoquinone (IVS320) was synthesized from lawsone. We report herein, a detailed study of the physicochemical properties and in vitro trypanocidal activity of IVS320. A series of assays were performed for characterization, where thermal, diffractometric, and morphological analysis were performed. In addition, the solubility, permeability, and hygroscopicity of IVS320 were determined. The results show that its poor solubility and low permeability may be due to its high degree of crystallinity (99.19%), which might require the use of proper techniques to increase the IVS320’s aqueous solubility and permeability. The trypanocidal activity study demonstrated that IVS320 is more potent than the reference drug benznidazole, with IC50/24 h of 1.49 ± 0.1 μM, which indicates that IVS320 has potential as a new drug candidate for the treatment of Chagas disease.
