Abstract
About 90% of the newly discovered drugs are poorly soluble in water, to overcome this problem, nanocrystal technology is used. Nanocrystal technology is a modern technique that is specially used to increase the solubility of less soluble drugs. Production of a nanocrystal on a large scale can be done by techniques like homogenization (high-pressure), precipitation, and milling methods. Using this technique, saturation solubility, the adhesiveness of a drug molecule to the surface cell, and the dissolution velocity is enhanced. This technology is better than the traditional method because it provides certain other benefits like increased drug loading capability, fantastic reproducibility of oral retention, further developed proportionality of portion bioavailability and expanded patient compliance. This audit makes sense of the various kinds of techniques for the arrangement of nanocrystals, benefits, drawbacks, a system of solvency improvement, clinical applications, and future imminent. This review article also provides further guidelines for studies about nanocrystal technology.

Review of nanosuspension formulation and process analysis in wet media milling using microhydrodynamic model and emerging characterization methods. Int J Pharm 2022; 623:121862. [PMID: 35671851 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.121862] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2022] [Revised: 05/04/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Wet media milling is a popular technology used to prepare nanosuspensions. However, the theories and methods to guide the research on the formulation and process affecting wet media milling remain limited. The research on wet media milling follows a "black box" approach to a certain extent. This review focuses on exploring the formulation and process parameters factors in wet media milling. The formulation factors include the concentration, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and structure of the drug and stabilizer, whereas the milling process parameters include the milling speed, milling time, and material, size, and filling volume of milling beads. Contrary to other reviews, this review attempts to quantify and visualize these factors by combining a microhydrodynamic model with emerging characterization methods to provide a scientific basis for the selection of nanosuspension formulations and process parameters, as opposed to the conventional trial-and-error approach.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of stabilizers and processing parameters on the size reduction of alpha-mangostin (AMG) using high-pressure homogenization (HPH). The solubility of AMG in various stabilizers was studied. Selected stabilizers were used to prepare AMG suspensions by HPH under different conditions. After HPH, the particle size of AMG suspensions with stabilizers significantly decreased to microns. Percent size reduction efficiency of all AMG suspensions with each stabilizer increased with the increase in the number of homogenization cycles. Sodium lauryl sulfate and poloxamer188 provided a greater extent of particle size reduction than polyvinyl caprolactam-polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene glycol graft copolymer. AMG suspensions with binary stabilizers at higher pressure were also prepared. The use of high pressure increased percent size reduction efficiency.

Oliveira GE, Pinto JF. Evaluation of the Potential Use of Laminar Extrudates on Stabilizing Micronized Coumarin Particles by Supercritical Fluids (RESS)-Study of Different RESS Processing Variables and Mode of Operation. AAPS PharmSciTech 2017; 18:2792-2807. [PMID: 28382603 DOI: 10.1208/s12249-017-0760-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2017] [Accepted: 03/06/2017] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The study evaluates the ability of extrudates to deliver coumarin particles micronized by the rapid expansion of supercritical solutions (RESS). The RESS parameters were drug load (2-50 g), pressure (15-42 MPa) and temperature (40-60°C) in the extraction and pressure in the expansion (0.1-5 MPa) chambers in batch or continuous and CO2 flow rate in the continuous mode of operation. Particles were characterized for size (laser diffractometry, optical and electronic microscopies-19-61 μm), surface area (BET-0.282-0.423 m2/g), density (pycnometry-1.273-1.358 g/cm3) and yield (2-70%). Extrudates were characterized for the force of extrusion (4 kN), release of coumarin (100%/24 h) and mechanical properties (bending strength and stiffness increased, whereas elasticity decreased in storage) and X-ray diffractometry (micronized particles and extrudates have shown identical patterns) and calorimetry (DSC, enthalpies increased on storage). In the discontinuous mode of operation, increased loads in the extraction or increased pressure in the expansion chambers led to larger particles, whereas increased temperature and pressure in the extraction chamber led to smaller particles. In the continuous mode of operation, a decrease on the expansion pressure, load and CO2 flow rate led to increased yields. An increase on the flow rate led to a decrease on the particles' diameter, but an increase on coumarin load in the extraction chamber led to an increase in diameter. The study has identified the key parameters in RESS continuous and discontinuous modes of operation affecting the properties of the micronized coumarin particles and has proved the ability of extrudates with a laminar shape on delivering micronized particles.

Abstract
Nanomanufacturing, the commercially scalable and economically sustainable mass production of nanoscale materials and devices, represents the tangible outcome of the nanotechnology revolution. In contrast to those used in nanofabrication for research purposes, nanomanufacturing processes must satisfy the additional constraints of cost, throughput, and time to market. Taking silicon integrated circuit manufacturing as a baseline, we consider the factors involved in matching processes with products, examining the characteristics and potential of top-down and bottom-up processes, and their combination. We also discuss how a careful assessment of the way in which function can be made to follow form can enable high-volume manufacturing of nanoscale structures with the desired useful, and exciting, properties.

Abstract
The exploration of a simple and robust approach to produce nanosuspensions is a meaningful attempt for clinical translation. CO2-assisted effervescence was firstly developed to prepare nanosuspensions and was found to be easy for scale-up. Drug nanosuspensions were easily obtained by adding aqueous carbonate to the pre-treated mixture of drug, stabilizer and organic acid. The burst of CO2 bubbles resulted from the acid-base reaction insert a micro gas bubble smashing and mixing effect to the formation of nanosuspensions, leading to smaller sizes and a refined size distribution. We successfully prepared nanosuspensions with twelve structurally diverse drugs. Alternatively, solid carbonate blended with the mixture, allowing for later addition of water, also facilitates the formation of amorphous nanosuspensions. We defined this approach as in situ nanoamorphization (ISN). Intensive in vitro and in vivo investigations for itraconazole and cabazitaxel nanosuspensions validate the availability for administration.
