Nanoscale Delivery Systems of Lutein: An Updated Review from a Pharmaceutical Perspective. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14091852. [PMID: 36145601 PMCID: PMC9501598 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14091852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 08/28/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Carotenoids are natural lipid-soluble pigments that produce yellow to red colors in plants as well as providing bright coloration in vegetables and fruits. Lutein belongs to the xanthophyll subgroup of the carotenoid family, which plays an essential role in photosynthesis and photoprotection in nature. In the human body, lutein, together with its isomer zeaxanthin and its metabolite meso-zeaxanthin, accumulates in the macula of the eye retina, which is responsible for central, high-resolution, and color vision. As a bioactive phytochemical, lutein has essential physiological functions, providing photoprotection against damaging blue light, along with the neutralization of oxidants and the preservation of the structural and functional integrity of cellular membranes. As a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, lutein unfortunately has a low bioavailability because of its lipophilicity and a low stability as a result of its conjugated double bonds. In order to enhance lutein stability and bioavailability and achieve its controlled delivery to a target, nanoscale delivery systems, which have great potential for the delivery of bioactive compounds, are starting to be employed. The current review highlights the advantages and innovations associated with incorporating lutein within promising nanoscale delivery systems, such as liposomes, nanoemulsions, polymer nanoparticles, and polymer–lipid hybrid nanoparticles, as well as their unique physiochemical properties.

Abstract
This work analyzes the dispersion of a highly hydrophobic molecule, (9Z)-N-(1,3-dihydroxyoctadecan-2-yl)octadec-9-enamide (ceramide-like molecule), with cosmetic and pharmaceutical interest, by exploiting oil-in-water microemulsions. Two different oils, oleic acid and soybean oil, were tested as an oil phase while mixtures of laureth-5-carboxylic acid (Akypo) and 2-propanol were used for the stabilization of the dispersions. This allowed us to obtain stable aqueous-based formulations with a relatively reduced content of oily phase (around 3% w/w), that may enhance the bioavailability of this molecule by its solubilization in nanometric oil droplets (with a size range of 30–80 nm), that allow the incorporation of a ceramide-like molecule of up to 3% w/w, to remain stable for more than a year. The nanometric size of the droplet containing the active ingredient and the stability of the formulations provide the basis for evaluating the efficiency of microemulsions in preparing formulations to enhance the distribution and availability of ceramide-like molecules, helping to reach targets in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations.

The Potential Synergistic Activity of Zolmitriptan Combined in New Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery Systems: ATR-FTIR Real-Time Fast Dissolution Monitoring and Pharmacodynamic Assessment. Int J Nanomedicine 2021; 16:6395-6412.

Abstract
Purpose The current work aimed to overcome the poor permeability and undesirable adverse effects of Zolmitriptan (ZMT) and to increase its efficacy in the treatment of acute migraine by exploiting the synergistic effect of the essential oil, lavender, to fabricate ZMT self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (ZMT-SNEDDS). Methods ZMT-SNEDDS were fabricated based on full factorial design (32) to statistically assess the impact of oil and surfactant concentrations on the nanoemulsion globule size, zeta potential and percentage drug dissolution efficiency. An ATR-FTIR method was developed and validated for continuous real-time monitoring of ZMT dissolution and permeation. The dose of the optimized ZMT-SNEDDS used in the efficacy study was selected according to the acute toxicity study. The efficacy study was performed on migraineous rats induced by nitroglycerin and was evaluated by the activity cage and thermal tests, electroencephalogram, electroconvulsive stimulation, and biochemical analysis of brain tissue. Finally, histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations of the cerebra were carried out. Results Upon dilution, the optimized ZMT-SNEDDS (F5) exhibited nanosized spherical droplets of 19.59±0.17 nm with narrow size distribution, zeta potential (-23.5±1.17mV) and rapid emulsification characteristics. ATR-FTIR spectra elucidated the complete time course of dissolution and permeation, confirming F5 superior performance. Moreover, ZMT-SNEDDS (F5) showed safety in an acute toxicity study. ZMT concentration in rat brain tissues derived from F5 was lower compared to that of ZMT solution, yet its effect was better on the psychological state, algesia, as well as maintaining normal brain electrical activity and delayed convulsions. It counteracted the cerebral biochemical alternations induced by nitroglycerin, which was confirmed by histopathological examination. Conclusion In a nutshell, these findings corroborated the remarkable synergistic efficacy and the high potency of lavender oil-based ZMT-SNEDDS in migraine management compared to the traditional zolmitriptan solution.

Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2021; 165:66-74. [PMID: 33971272 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2021.04.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Revised: 04/06/2021] [Accepted: 04/16/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Rasagiline mesylate (RSM) is a selective and irreversible monoamine oxidase B inhibitor used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, its unfavorable biopharmaceutical properties, such as extensive degradation in the gastrointestinal tract and first-pass metabolism are responsible for its low oral bioavailability and suboptimal therapeutic efficacy. Here, we report the feasibility of delivering RSM via the transdermal route using RSM containing microemulsion-based gel (RSM-MEG) to achieve effective management of PD. Our in vitro skin permeation studies of RSM-MEG showed significantly higher (at least ~1.5-fold) permeation across rat skin compared to the conventional RSM hydrogel. Our skin irritation studies in rabbits showed that RSM-MEG is safe for transdermal application. Finally, using the rat model of rotenone-induced Parkinsonism, we demonstrated that the topical application of RSM-MEG was equally effective in reversing PD symptoms when compared to oral RSM therapy. Thus, our study confirmed the feasibility and potential of transdermal delivery of RSM via simple topical application of RSM-MEG, and this approach could be an alternative therapeutic intervention for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
With a fascinating complexity, governed by multiple physiological processes, the skin is considered a mantle with protective functions which during lifetime are frequently impaired, triggering dermatologic disorders. As one of the most prevalent dermatologic conditions worldwide, characterized by a complex pathogenesis and a high recurrence, acne can affect the patient's quality of life. Smart topical vehicles represent a good option in the treatment of a versatile skin condition. By surpassing the stratum corneum known for diffusional resistance, a superior topical bioavailability can be obtained at the affected place. In this direction, the literature study presents microemulsions as a part of a condensed group of modern formulations. Microemulsions are appreciated for their superior profile in matters of drug delivery, especially for challenging substances with hydrophilic or lipophilic structures. Formulated as transparent and thermodynamically stable systems, using simplified methods of preparation, microemulsions have a simple and clear appearance. Their unique structures can be explained as a function of the formulation parameters which were found to be the mainstay of a targeted therapy.
