Abstract
Resveratrol (RSV) has powerful antioxidant activities. However, the bioavailability is still limited due to low solubility and transport issues. Nanocrystal technology has been introduced to address these issues; however, the bulky formulation of the nanocrystal process through nanosuspension faces a big challenge in terms of stability and scale-up ability. This work aimed to enhance the bioavailability of RSV through nanocrystal formulation incorporated into soluble mesoporous carriers for superior solid-state stability and feasibility. This formulation was designed and developed rationally through scientific justification in the nanocrystal formulation along with quality by design paradigm. Box-Behnken design was applied to determine the optimized formulation based on the particle size and distribution, drug loading, zeta potential, and supersaturation parameters. The nanocrystal was formed through evaporation of drug, polymer, and surfactant in the solvent incorporated into mesoporous material. The nanocrystal was evaluated by vibrational spectroscopy, thermal analyses, and SEM and TEM photographs, followed by crystallinity evaluation. The results indicated that the factors only affected the particle size variation, zeta potential, drug loading, and the time to reach the supersaturation peak level. The optimized formulation was achieved by 68 % desirability value, producing 133.3 ± 1.2 nm particle size and -24.6 mV zeta potential. The physical and chemical evaluation characterization indicated no interaction between RSV and carrier. In addition, there was no difference in crystallinity between the RSV nanocrystal and native RSV. Moreover, the RSV nanocrystal improved the bioavailability nearly twice compared to the RSV suspension.

Abstract
Nanoemulsions (NE) are lipid nanocarriers that can efficiently load hydrophobic active compounds, like palmitoyl-L-carnitine (pC), used here as model molecule. The use of design of experiments (DoE) approach is a useful tool to develop NEs with optimized properties, requiring less experiments compared to trial-and-error approach. In this work, NE were prepared by the solvent injection technique and DoE using a two-level fractional factorial design (FFD) as model was implemented for designing pC-loaded NE. NEs were fully characterized by a combination of techniques, studying its stability, scalability, pC entrapment and loading capacity and biodistribution, which was studied ex-vivo after injection of fluorescent NEs in mice. We selected the optimal composition for NE, named pC-NEU, after analysis of four variables using DoE. pC-NEU incorporated pC in a very efficient manner, with high entrapment efficiency (EE) and loading capacity. pC-NEU did not change its initial colloidal properties stored at 4 °C in water during 120 days, nor in buffers with different pH values (5.3 and 7.4) during 30 days. Moreover, the scalability process did not affect NE properties and stability profile. Finally, biodistribution study showed that pC-NEU formulation was predominantly concentrated in the liver, with minimal accumulation in spleen, stomach, and kidneys.

Abstract
Making nanoscale drug carriers could boost the bioavailability of medications that are slightly water soluble. One of the most promising approaches for enhancing the chemical stability and bioavailability of a variety of therapeutic medicines is liquid nanocrystal technology. This study aimed to prepare nanocrystals of mangiferin for sustained drug delivery and enhance the pharmacokinetic profile of the drug. The fractional factorial design (FFD) was used via a selection of independent and dependent variables. The selected factors were the concentration of mangiferin (A), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) (B), pluronic acid (C), tween 80 (D), and the ratio of antisolvent to solvent (E). The selected responses were the particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency. The nanocrystals were further evaluated for mangiferin release, release kinetics, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), particle size, zeta potential, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The stability studies of developed nanocrystals were performed for 6 months and pharmacokinetics on albino rabbits. The value of entrapment efficiencies ranged from 23.98% to 86.23%. The percentage release of mangiferin varied from 62.45 to 99.02%. FTIR and DSC studies showed the stability of mangiferin in the nanocrystals. The particle size of the optimized formulation was almost 100 nm and -12 mV the value of the zeta potential. The results of stability studies showed that the nanocrystals of mangiferin were stable for a period of six months. The peak plasma concentration of mangiferin from nanocrystals and suspension of mangiferin were 412 and 367 ng/mL, respectively. The value of AUC0-t of nanocrystals and suspension of mangiferin was 23,567.45 ± 10.876 and 18,976.12 ± 9.765 µg×h/mL, respectively, indicating that the nanocrystals of mangiferin showed greater availability of mangiferin compared to the suspension of the formulation. The developed nanocrystals showed a good release pattern of mangiferin, better stability studies, and enhanced the pharmacokinetics of the drug.

Design and Evaluation of Hydrophobic Ion Paired Insulin Loaded Self Micro-Emulsifying Drug Delivery System for Oral Delivery. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:1973. [PMID: 37514159 PMCID: PMC10383801 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15071973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2023] [Revised: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Despite several novel and innovative approaches, clinical translation of oral insulin delivery into commercially viable treatment is still challenging due to its poor absorption and rapid degradation in GIT. Thus, an insulin-SDS hydrophobic ion pair loaded self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) was formulated to exploit the hypoglycemic effects of orally delivered insulin. Insulin was initially hydrophobically ion paired with sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) to enhance its lipophilicity. The successful complexation of Insulin-SDS was confirmed by FTIR and surface morphology was evaluated using SEM. Stability of insulin after its release from HIP complex was evaluated using SDS PAGE. Subsequently, Ins-SDS loaded SMEDDS was optimized using two factorial designs. In vitro stability of insulin entrapped in optimized SMEDDS against proteolytic degradation was also assessed. Further, antidiabetic activity of optimized Ins-SDS loaded SMEDDS was evaluated in diabetic rats. Insulin complexed with SDS at 6:1 (SDS/insulin) molar ratio with almost five-fold increased lipophilicity. The SMEDDS was optimized at 10% Labraphil M2125 CS, 70% Cremophore EL, and 20% Transcutol HP with better proteolytic stability and oral antidiabetic activity. An Ins-SDS loaded SMEDDS was successfully optimized. Compared with insulin and Ins-SDS complex, the optimized SMEDDS displayed considerable resistance to GI enzymes. Thus, the SMEDDS showed potential for effective delivery of macromolecular drugs with improved oral bioavailability.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to employ nanoparticles as drug carriers. The research involved the design of cromolyn polyamide-disulfide nanocomposites to overcome the problem of frequent cromolyn doses and improve their properties. The cromolyn polyamide-disulfide samples were prepared using several amounts of cromolyn and sodium polyamide-disulfide polymer at different pH values. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to obtain the significant independent variables affecting the dependent response by using a
value lower than 0.05. The nanocomposites produced were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and in vitro release. An FTIR test was used to evaluate the functional groups of cromolyn in nanocomposites, which indicated that the drug was encapsulated inside the polymer. All data indicated the presence of cromolyn in the nanocomposites. The release profile of nanocomposites was found to be sustained. Therefore, the outcome of this research project could be a starting point for further work to optimize and assess polyamide-disulfide polymers for delivering another drug.

Abstract
Bioflavonoids from grape seeds feature powerful antioxidant and immunostimulant activities, but they present problems related to solubility and bioavailability. Nanocrystal (NC) incorporated into a mesoporous carrier is a promising strategy to address these issues. However, the preparation of this formulation involves the selection of factors affecting its critical quality attributes. Hence, this study aimed to develop an NC formulation incorporating resveratrol into a soluble mesoporous carrier based on rational screening design using a systematic and continuous development process, the quality-by-design paradigm. A mesoporous soluble carrier was prepared by spray-drying mannitol and ammonium carbonate. The NC was obtained by introducing the evaporated solvent containing a drug/polymer/surfactant and mesoporous carrier to the medium. A 26-2 fractional factorial design (FFD) approach was carried out in the screening process to understand the main effect factors. The type and concentration of polymer and surfactant, resveratrol loading, and solvent were determined on the NC characteristics. The results indicated that drug loading, particle size, and solubility were mainly affected by RSV loading, PEG concentration, and Kolliphor EL concentration. The polymer contributed dominantly to reducing the particle size and enhancing solubility in this screening design. The presence of surfactants in this system made it possible to prolong the supersaturation process. According to the 26-2 FFD, the factors selected to be further developed using a statistical technique according to the quality-by design-approach, Box Behnken Design, were Kolliphor EL, PEG400, and RSV loading.

Abstract
During the last decades, much attention has been focused on SNEDDS approach to resolve concerns of BCS II class drugs with accentuation on upgrading the solubility and bioavailability. The present hypothesis confirms the theory that SNEDDS can reduce the impact of food on Candesartan solubilization, thereby offering the potential for improved oral delivery without co-administration with meals. The present studies describe quality-by-design-based development and characterization of Candesartan loaded SNEDDS for improving its pharmacodynamic potential. D-optimal mixture design was used for systematic optimization of SNEDDS, which showed globule size of 13.91 nm, more rapid drug release rate of >90% in 30 min and 16 s for self-emulsification. The optimized formulations were extensively evaluated, where an in vitro drug release study indicated up to 1.99- and 1.10-fold enhancement in dissolution rate from SNEDDS over pure drug and marketed tablet. In vivo pharmacodynamic investigation also showed superior antihypertensive potential of SNEDDS in normalizing serum lipid levels as compared to pure drug and marketed tablet that was executed on male Wistar rats. Overall, this paper reports successful systematic development of candesartan-loaded SNEDDS with distinctly improved biopharmaceutical performance. This research work interpreted a major role of SNEDDS for enhancing the rate of dissolution and bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs.
