[PMID: 37442486 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2023.106526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
Co-amorphous systems have been proven to be a promising strategy to address the poor water solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. Generally, the initial dissolution behaviors after co-amorphous system preparation and the potential recrystallization during storage are used to evaluate the performance of co-amorphous systems. However, this study reveals that decreased dissolution and unexpected increased dissolution were observed during storage though the co-amorphous systems maintained amorphous form. Three drugs (valsartan, tadalafil, mebendazole) and three co-formers (arginine, tryptophan, biotin) were used to prepare co-amorphous systems and the samples were stored for different times. After stored for 80 d, most of the co-amorphous systems maintained amorphous form, however, decreased and increased intrinsic dissolution rates (IDRs) were both observed in these non-recrystallized co-amorphous systems. The moisture changes of the systems during storage and the possible drug-co-former molecular interactions showed no effect on the dissolution changes, while phase separation might play a role in it. In conclusion, more attention should be paid to the dissolution changes of co-amorphous systems during storage. Focusing on the initial dissolution behaviors after sample preparation and the physical recrystallization during storage is not enough for the development of co-amorphous systems in future.

Abstract
Cardiac disease has emerged as the leading cause of death worldwide, and food rich in phenolic acids has drawn much attention as sources of active substances of hypolipidemic drug. Ananas comosus L. (pineapple) is one of the most popular tropical and subtropical fruits. Isolated from pineapple leaves, EAL(Extract of Ananas Comosus L. Leaves) is rich in phenolic acids, such as p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, and other phenolics, highly relevant to the putative cardiovascular-protective effects, which suggests its potential to be a new plant medicine for treatment of cardiac disease, but little is known about absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of EAL in animals or human beings. In this study, we employed cDNA microarray, Caco-2 cell lines, and rat intestinal model to explore the absorption behavior of p-coumaric acid and caffeic acid in EAL. The permeation of 2 substances was concentration and time dependent. Results also indicated that monocarboxylic acid transporter was involved in the transepithelial transport of p-coumaric acid and caffeic acid.

Abstract
The era of targeted cancer therapies has arrived. However, due to the complexity of biological systems, the current progress is far from enough. From biological network modeling to structural/dynamic network analysis, network systems biology provides unique insight into the potential mechanisms underlying the growth and progression of cancer cells. It has also introduced great changes into the research paradigm of cancer-associated drug discovery and drug resistance.

Khan S, Elshaer A, Rahman AS, Hanson P, Perrie Y, Mohammed AR. Systems biology approach to study permeability of paracetamol and its solid dispersion. Int J Pharm 2010; 417:272-9. [PMID: 21187133 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2010.12.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2010] [Revised: 12/17/2010] [Accepted: 12/18/2010] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Physiological changes that take place at cellular level are usually reflective of their level of gene expression. Different formulation excipients have an impact on physiological behavior of the exposed cells and in turn affect transporter genes, enterocyte-mediated metabolism and toxicity biomarkers. The aim of this study was to prepare solid dispersion of paracetamol and evaluate genetic changes that occur in Caco-2 cell lines during the permeability of paracetamol alone and paracetamol solid dispersion formulations. Paracetamol-PEG 8000 solid dispersion was prepared by melt fusion method and the formulation was characterised using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Formulation of solid dispersion resulted in the conversion of crystalline drug into an amorphous form. Permeability studies showed that paracetamol absorption was higher from the solid dispersion formulation. DNA microarrays analysis was carried out in order to investigate the involvement of any efflux/uptake transporters in paracetamol or its solid dispersion permeability. Neither transporter carriers nor efflux proteins were found to be involved in the absorption of paracetamol or its PEG solid dispersion. Gene expression analysis established that paracetamol toxicity was potentially reduced upon formulation into solid dispersion when ATP binding cassette (ABC) and solute carrier transporter (SLC) genes were analyzed.
