A Comparative Study on Cyclodextrin Derivatives in Improving Oral Bioavailability of Etoricoxib as a Model Drug: Formulation and Evaluation of Solid Dispersion-Based Fast-Dissolving Tablets. Biomedicines 2023; 11:2440. [PMID: 37760881 PMCID: PMC10525456 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11092440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Etoricoxib, as a model drug, has a poor solubility and dissolution rate. Cyclodextrin derivatives can be used to solve such a problem. A comparative study was run on three cyclodextrin derivatives, namely β-CD, HP β-CD, and SBE β-CD, to solve the drug problem through the formulation of solid dispersions and their preparation into fast-dissolving tablets. Preparations utilized different (1:1, 1:2, and 1:4) drug:carrier ratios. Nine fast-dissolving tablets (containing 1:4 drug: carrier) were formulated using Prosolv ODT® and/or F-melt® type C as super-disintegrants. Optimized formulation was chosen based on a 32 factorial design. The responses chosen were the outcomes of the in vitro evaluation tests. The optimized formulation that had the highest desirability (0.86) was found to be SD-HP3, which was prepared from etoricoxib: HP β-CD at a 1:4 ratio using equal amounts of Prosolv ODT® and F-melt® type C. An in vivo evaluation of SD-HP3 on a rabbit model revealed its superiority over the marketed product Arcoxia®. SD-HP3 showed a significantly lower Tmax (13.3 min) and a significantly higher Cmax (9122.156 μg/mL), as well as a significantly higher AUC, than Arcoxia®. Thus, the solubility, dissolution, and bioavailability of etoricoxib were significantly enhanced.

Rashidinejad A, Nieuwkoop M, Singh H, Jameson GB. Assessment of Various Food Proteins as Structural Materials for Delivery of Hydrophobic Polyphenols Using a Novel Co-Precipitation Method. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28083573. [PMID: 37110808 PMCID: PMC10147046 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28083573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, sodium caseinate (NaCas), soy protein isolate (SPI), and whey protein isolate (WPI) were used as structural materials for the delivery of rutin, naringenin, curcumin, hesperidin, and catechin. For each polyphenol, the protein solution was brought to alkaline pH, and then the polyphenol and trehalose (as a cryo-protectant) were added. The mixtures were later acidified, and the co-precipitated products were lyophilized. Regardless of the type of protein used, the co-precipitation method exhibited relatively high entrapment efficiency and loading capacity for all five polyphenols. Several structural changes were seen in the scanning electron micrographs of all polyphenol-protein co-precipitates. This included a significant decrease in the crystallinity of the polyphenols, which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis, where amorphous structures of rutin, naringenin, curcumin, hesperidin, and catechin were revealed after the treatment. Both the dispersibility and solubility of the lyophilized powders in water were improved dramatically (in some cases, >10-fold) after the treatment, with further improvements observed in these properties for the powders containing trehalose. Depending on the chemical structure and hydrophobicity of the tested polyphenols, there were differences observed in the degree and extent of the effect of the protein on different properties of the polyphenols. Overall, the findings of this study demonstrated that NaCas, WPI, and SPI can be used for the development of an efficient delivery system for hydrophobic polyphenols, which in turn can be incorporated into various functional foods or used as supplements in the nutraceutical industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dry skin, caused by improper care or genetic conditions, can affect people of all ages. Skin hydration is determined its lipid content, which inhibits water loss from the epidermis, as well as other substances such as polyhydroxy acids and gluconolactone that can bind water. The aim of this study was to evaluate skin hydration after the application of 10% and 30% gluconolactone solution in a split face model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen healthy women were qualified for the study. Three split face treatments were performed, with 10% and 30% gluconolactone solution applied to two sides of the face. Skin moisture was measured before each treatment and a week after the last treatment at three measurement sites on either side of the face, that is, on the forehead, around the eye and on the cheek. RESULTS Corneometric measurements showed a significant increase in facial skin hydration after gluconolactone treatment. No significant differences were observed between the application of 10% and 30% solution. CONCLUSION Gluconolactone is a moisturizing substance which works well in dry skin care.

Abstract
Diacerein is a BCS class II drug employed in osteoarthritis management. The acid/base hydrolysis of the unabsorbed diacerein in the colon is responsible for its laxative effect. Therefore, this work aimed to enhance the solubility, dissolution, and oral bioavailability of diacerein. Such enhancement means lower doses and fewer gastrointestinal adverse effects. A 41.31.21 full factorial design was adopted to prepare 24 solid dispersion formulae. Solid-state characterization showed the dissolution of diacerein crystals as metastable amorphous or microcrystalline forms in a matrix system that enhanced the drug dissolution. Desirability factor suggested compounding an optimized formula (F1) of Pluronic®F68 with 1:3 drug:carrier ratio using rotavap that showed higher drug solubility (187.61 µg/mL) than drug powder (22.5 µg/mL). It achieved higher dissolution efficiency (4.04-fold) and rate (6.6-fold) as well as 100% release in 2 min. F1 was compressed into tablets recording greater dissolution efficiency (1.24-fold) and rate (12.5-fold) than the marketed product. The prepared tablet accomplished a 2.66-fold enhancement in diacerein bioavailability compared to the marketed product. In conclusion, the formulation of diacerein as solid dispersion loaded tablets could be of added value for the treatment of osteoarthritis in terms of enhanced patient compliance. Solid dispersion is an easy and scalable technique.

Abstract
The addition of matrix formers within a formulation provides a means for enhancing the redispersibility of nanoparticles (NPs) enabling them to retain their advantageous properties imparted onto them by their sub-micron size. In this work, NPs were isolated in the solid state via spray drying with a range of sugars. The processed powders were characterized, establishing that itraconazole (ITR) nanostructured microparticles (NMPs) spray dried in the presence of mannitol and trehalose had favorable redispersibility confirmed by dynamic light scattering and nanoparticle tracking analysis. Solid-state analysis confirmed the crystalline nature of NMPs based on mannitol and the amorphous character of trehalose-based NMPs. The NMPs powders were compacted at a range of pressures, producing tablets with high tensile strength without compromising their disintegration time. A greater amount of ITR was solubilized from trehalose NMPs compared to the mannitol-based compacts in 0.1 M HCl, showing a promise for enhanced in vivo activity. Overall, as trehalose exhibited superior carrier properties for ITR NMPs, this type of excipient included in the formulation warrants careful consideration. The structured approach to matrix former selection and tabletting studies can reduce the amount of material and time required for testing in the initial stages of product development.

Abstract
Enhancing the dissolution of insoluble active ingredients comprises one of the most important issues in the pharmaceutical and biomaterial fields. Here, a third generation solid dispersion (3rd SD) of ferulic acid was designed and fabricated by a modified coaxial electrospinning process. A traditional second generation SD (2nd SD) was also prepared by common one-fluid blending electrospinning and was used as a control. With poly(vinyl alcohol) as the fiber matrix and polyvinylpyrrolidone K10 as an additive in the 3rd SDs, the two electrospinning processes were investigated. The prepared 2nd and 3rd SDs were subjected to a series of characterizations, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), hydrophilicity and in vitro drug dissolving experiments. The results demonstrate that both SDs were monolithic nanocomposites and that the drugs were amorphously distributed within the matrix. However, the 3rd SDs had better morphology with smaller size, narrower size distribution, and smaller water contact angles than the 2nd SDs. Dissolution tests verified that the 3rd SDs could release their loaded cargoes within 60 s, which was over three times faster than the 2nd SDs. Therefore, a combined strategy based on the modified coaxial electrospinning and the logical selections of drug carriers is demonstrated for creating advanced biomaterials.
