[PMID: 32565356 DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2020.06.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2020] [Revised: 06/10/2020] [Accepted: 06/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Orodispersible Film (ODF) is a promising and progressive dosage form that offers exceptional drug delivery benefits to patients. Indeed, they are the most transformational alternatives to traditional/conventional dosage forms such as tablets and capsules. ODFs are portable and highly comfortable for self-administration by patients with swallowing problems. The key to gain end-user acceptance is to have an ODF with outstanding quality. Poor quality may lead to choking or spitting, accordingly leading to a lack of compliance. It is vital to employ suitable experimental methodologies that facilitate characterization or determination of the quality of ODF. Nonetheless, there are no standard techniques prescribed in official compendia of any country. But, there is a consensus in the thin-film research community about the characterization techniques that one relies on deciding the quality of an ODF. We review various experimental techniques and highlight its importance in determining the performance and quality of an ODF. We provide a relatively novel and inventive disintegration test apparatus, which works using 'Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) sensors' for clear and accurate determination of start and end disintegration time of an ODF.

Abstract
Pediatric and geriatric patients experience swallowing difficulties for traditional oral dosage forms, such as tablets. Further, microbial contamination, chemical stability, unpleasant taste and swallowing large volumes of fluids have led to low therapeutic efficacy and patient noncompliance. The emergence of oral thin films has resulted in dramatic improvements in compliance and drug therapy outcomes in pediatric and geriatric patients. Oral thin films do not require water for administration, are readily hydrated upon contact with saliva, adhere to the mucosa and disintegrate ideally under 1 min. This article provides an overview of oral thin films, modern trends in their formulation and characterization, available commercial products, information to fill knowledge gaps and future potential and economic prospects of oral thin film technology, with emphasis on their use in the pediatric and geriatric patient groups.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a tendency toward creating innovative, easy to use and patient-friendly drug delivery systems suitable for every consumer profile, which would ensure safety, stability and acceptability of a drug. One of the relatively novel and promising approaches is the manufacture of orodispersible films (ODFs), which is an upcoming area of interest in drug delivery. They are defined as polymer thin films that disintegrate in the oral cavity within seconds, without drinking water or chewing, and eliminate the risk of choking. Gaining special usefulness in therapies of children and the elderly, ODFs seem to fill the gap in the range of preparations available for these groups of patients. As no detailed monography of ODFs including testing methods and uniform requirements has been presented in any of the pharmacopoeias to date, the aim of this article is to give an overview of the applied testing methods, their modifications and innovative approaches related to ODF quality assessment.

Abstract
Objective: This article aims to highlight the rehabilitation of a geriatric patient with an orofacial cheek defect by an extraoral silicone prosthesis. Methodology: Structured extra- and intra-oral examination of tissues coupled with a justified choice of impression materials, techniques, and prosthetic rehabilitation with a high-temperature vulcanizing silicone was done. Results: The presence of compressible tissues, static appearance of the prosthesis during patient's facial movements, variability in complexion of the skin around the defect, and manipulating heat-vulcanized silicone were the challenges faced during clinical procedures. Rehabilitation of orofacial defects is a challenge to the maxillofacial prosthodontist due to limited material properties, soft-tissue mobility, compromised retention of prostheses, and poor patient acceptance. The fabrication of a facial prosthesis is as much an art as it is science. Prosthetic form, coloration, and texture of the prosthesis must be indiscernible from the surrounding tissues. Prosthetic reconstruction helps in restoring functional disability and aids in raising the morale of the patient. Prosthetic options of rehabilitation include interim and definitive conventional adhesive-retained or implant-retained prostheses. Initially, vulcanite rubber and acrylic resins were used for reconstruction. Conclusion: We report clinical challenges during extraoral rehabilitation of orofacial tissues with a silicone cheek prosthesis such as impression making and shade matching during restoration in a geriatric patient. The use of silicone maxillofacial elastomers allowed intrinsic, extrinsic coloring and ease of construction.

Vitamin B12-Loaded Buccoadhesive Films as a Noninvasive Supplement in Vitamin B12 Deficiency: In Vitro Evaluation and In Vivo Comparative Study With Intramuscular Injection. J Pharm Sci 2017; 106:1849-1858.

Abstract
This study aimed to formulate and evaluate vitamin B12-loaded buccal mucoadhesive hydrogel films. Various film formulations were prepared using chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol. The prepared films were characterized for thickness, weight variation, drug content, percentage moisture uptake and moisture content, surface pH, mechanical properties, in vitro release, and mucoadhesion. Vitamin B12 bioavailability from the optimized formulation was studied on rabbits by the aid of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Neuroton® I.M. injection was used for comparison. The films had acceptable mechanical and mucoadhesion properties. The percentages of moisture content of the optimized formulation were 3.2 ± 0.95, whereas the percentage drug released was 98.59 ± 1.41% at the end of 40 min. FTIR revealed the incidence of drug/polymer interaction. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed the possibility of the dispersion of cyanocobalamin in a molecular state with complete amorphization in the polymers. The estimated AUC0-8h showed 1.5-fold increases in the bioavailability of cyanocobalamin from the optimized formulation compared with the marketed I.M. injection. These findings warrant that vitamin B12 buccal film formulation can be considered as an effective alternative portal with noninvasive and more convenient characteristics compared with the I.M. injection dosage form.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION With the introduction of mucoadhesion in 1980, pharmaceutical researchers have gained interest in mucoadhesive compositions. This interest has led to the development of mucoadhesive drug delivery systems aiming (I) to target a specific tissue, (II) to overcome barriers to absorption as well as (III) to control drug release of the therapeutic compositions. AREAS COVERED In this review, the term mucoadhesion and a variety of targetable mucosa are described through review of the literature. Mucoadhesive drug delivery systems and mucoadhesive polymers, such as thiomers, which are reported within the patent literature or in related publications are described in detail, including their therapeutic uses. EXPERT OPINION Mucoadhesion is associated with benefits such as controlled, sustained release, prolonged residence time at the site of action, the ability to target specific mucosae and ease of application which leads to higher rates of patient compliance. Although many research groups are investigating in this domain, not many drug delivery systems based on mucoadhesive polymers have got from bench to market. The most promising and advanced applications seen in patent literature within the last five years seems to be for oral application.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of various viscosity grades of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) for mucoadhesive buccal films. The HPMC used in this study was K4M, K15M and K100M which their viscosity were 4000, 15000 and 100000 mPas respectively. Using HPMC as film forming base matrix, all intrinsic characteristics of each HPMC grade is required as basic knowledge for the development of mucoadhesive buccal films. To understand the primary essential parameters, surface free energy and contact angle of various HPMC grades were determined. Sessile drop technique was used in this study to determine contact angle of HPMC and surface free energy was then evaluated by using the Wu’s equation. The results showed that the increase in viscosity of HPMC film tended to decrease the polar force and total surface free energy but increased the contact angle. These parameters indicated that the hydrophilic character of HPMC was influenced by its viscosity. Our study suggested that the polar and dispersive force detected by sessile drop technique could be beneficial for the further design and development of mucoadhesive buccal films.

Abstract
The conventional formulation of prednisolone is considered to be low in efficacy, primarily on account of their failure in providing and maintaining effective therapeutic drug levels. This study aims to focus on development of a mucoadhesive buccal delivery system with a twofold objective of offering a rapid as well as a prolonged delivery of prednisolone coupled with enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Buccoadhesive films of prednisolone were prepared by solvent-casting method using hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (K100), Carbopol 940 and/or Eudragit NE 40 D. Placebo films possessing the most desirable physicomechanical properties were selected for drug loading. The effect of polymer and its content on film properties, i.e. mucoadhesive strength, swelling and hydration, in vitro drug release was studied. Based on these studies, film F7D was selected for ex vivo permeation across porcine cheek mucosa. The steady state flux of prednisolone across the buccal mucosa was found to be 105.33 ± 32.07 µg/cm(2)/h. A comparative pharmacokinetic study of prepared film (F7D) and oral suspension of prednisolone was conducted. In vivo data of buccal film show greater bioavailability (AUC0-α: 24.26 ± 4.06 µg.h/ml versus 10.65 ± 2.15 µg.h/ml) and higher Cmax (2.70 ± 0.38 µg/ml versus 2.29 ± 0.32 µg/ml) value when compared to oral suspension. The data observed from this study highlight the feasibility of the buccal route as a viable option for delivery of prednisolone.
