Abstract
OBJECTIVES Glimepiride Orodispersable Tablets (ODT) were prepared with the goal to have rapid onset of action and higher bioavailability with ease administration to individuals with swallowing difficulty to ameliorate patient compliance. SIGNIFICANCE Glimepiride is a contemporary hypoglycemic medication that belongs to the family of sulfonylurea derivatives. It is used in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Compliance adherence remains one of the limitations with the conventional drug delivery system especially in pediatric, geriatric, psychiatric, and traveling patients, for such population ODT provides a good alternate dosage form compared with Commercial Tablets. METHOD The Comparative in vivo pharmacokinetic parameters of the prepared ODT and conventional tablets (CT) were evaluated using an animal model. The plasma concentration of Glimepiride after oral administration of a single dose was determined at predetermined time intervals with HPLC. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using PK Solutions 2.0 from Summit PK® software. RESULTS The Cmax obtained with ODT (22.08 µg/ml) was significantly (p = 0.006) high, a lower tmax of 3.0 hr was achieved with the orodispersable formulation of the drug. The ODT showed 104.34% relative bioavailability as compared to CT and left shift of tmax as well. CONCLUSION As per findings of the in vivo investigation, the Glimepiride ODT would be beneficial in terms of patient compliance, quick onset of action, and increased bioavailability.

Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2019. [PMID: 37631233 PMCID: PMC10459310 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15082019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Glimepiride (GM) is a hydrophobic drug that dissolves slowly and yields inconsistent clinical responses after oral administration. Transdermal drug delivery (TDD) is an appropriate alternative to oral administration. Microneedles (MNs) offer a promising delivery system that penetrates the skin, while polymeric micelles can enhance the solubility; hence, the combination of both results in high drug bioavailability. This study aims to improve glimepiride's solubility, dissolution rate, and bioavailability by incorporating nanomicelles into MNs for TDD. The nanomicelles formulated with 10% Soluplus® (SP) and 40% GM had a mean particle size of 82.6 ± 0.54, PDI of 0.1 ± 0.01, -16.2 ± 0.18 zeta potential, and achieved a 250-fold increase in solubility. The fabricated pyramid shaped GM-dissolving MNs were thermally stable and had no formulation incompatibility, as confirmed by thermal and FTIR analysis. The in vitro dissolution profile revealed that the GM release from nanomicelles and nanomicelle-loaded DMN was concentration-independent following non-Fickian transport mechanism. Improved pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained with dose of 240 µg as compared to 1 mg of GM oral tablet, in healthy human volunteers. The observed Cmax, Tmax and MRT were 1.56 μg/mL ± 0.06, 4 h, and 40.04 h ± 3.37, respectively. The safety profile assessment indicated that microneedles are safe with no adverse effects on skin or health. This study provides an alternative delivery system for the administration of glimepiride, resulting in improved bioavailability, enhanced patient compliance, and reduced dosing frequency.

Abstract
A reversed-phase RP-HPLC method was developed for the simultaneous determination of metformin hydrochloride (MET), pioglitazone (PIO), and glimepiride (GLM) in their combined dosage forms and spiked human plasma. Quality risk management principles for determining the critical method parameters (CMPs) and fractional factorial design were made to screen CMPs and subsequently, the Box-Behnken design was employed. The analytical Quality by Design (AQbD) paradigm was used to establish the method operable design region (MODR) for the developed method depended on understanding the quality target product profile (QTPP), analytical target profile (ATP), and risk assessment for different factors that affect the method performance to develop an accurate, precise, cost-effective, and environmentally benign method. The separation was carried out using a mobile phase composed of methanol: 0.05 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer pH 3.7 with 0.05% TEA (78:22, v/v). The flow rate was 1.2 mL/min. DAD detector was set at 227 nm. Linagliptin (LIN) was used as an internal standard. The proposed method was validated according to The International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). The assay results obtained by using the developed method were statistically compared to those obtained by the reported HPLC method, and a satisfying agreement was observed.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 270:120745. [PMID: 34972054 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2021.120745] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2021] [Revised: 11/24/2021] [Accepted: 12/09/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Simple, accurate, and precise four spectrophotometric methods were developed and validated for simultaneous determination of glimepiride and pioglitazone hydrochloride in their pharmaceutical formulation. The first spectrophotometric method was the dual-wavelength which determined glimepiride at 219.0 and 228.0 nm and pioglitazone hydrochloride at 268.0 nm. The second one is the first derivative of ratio spectra (DD1) spectrophotometry in which the peak amplitudes were used at 238.0 nm and 268.0 nm for glimepiride and pioglitazone hydrochloride, respectively. The third method is ratio subtraction in which glimepiride was determined at 228.0 nm in the presence of pioglitazone hydrochloride which was determined by extended ratio subtraction at 268.0 nm. The fourth method was the ratio difference to determine glimepiride and pioglitazone hydrochloride. Beer's law was confirmed in the concentration range 2.50-15.00 µg mL-1, and 10.00-50.00 µg mL-1 for glimepiride and pioglitazone respectively for the four methods. The proposed methods were used to determine both drugs in their pure powdered form with mean percentage recoveries of 99.91 ± 1.117% for glimepiride and 99.76 ± 0.911% for pioglitazone hydrochloride in method (A). In method (B), the mean percentage recoveries were 100.12 ± 0.89% for glimepiride and 100.02 ± 1.06% for pioglitazone hydrochloride. In method (C) glimepiride was 100.01 ± 0.592% and 99.85 ± 0.845% for pioglitazone hydrochloride by extended ratio subtraction. And finally, in method (D) the mean percentage recoveries were 100.66 ± 0.670% for glimepiride and 99.92 ± 0.988% for pioglitazone hydrochloride. The developed methods were successfully applied for the determination of glimepiride and pioglitazone hydrochloride in pure powder and dosage form. The suggested methods were also used to determine both compounds in laboratory-prepared mixtures. The accuracy, precision, and linearity ranges of the developed methods were determined. The results obtained were compared statistically with the official method, and there was no significant difference between the proposed methods and the official method for accuracy and precision.

A PLGA-reinforced PEG in situ gel formulation for improved sustainability of hypoglycaemic activity of glimepiride in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Sci Rep 2017; 7:16384.

Abstract
Glimepiride (GMD) is a third-generation sulfonylurea derivative and one of the top three most-prescribed oral antidiabetic drugs. The need for a depot formulation exists, and a safe and effective antidiabetic therapy is the goal of this study. The aims were to design a depot in situ gel (ISG) formulation and investigate the main factors that control the initial burst and sustain the GMD effect using the Box-Behnken design. The studied factors were polymer percent (X1), plasticizer percent (X2) and benzyl benzoate percent in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (X3). The results revealed that X2 is the only factor that showed significant effects on all investigated responses. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that an increase in PEG % improved the smoothness and reduced the porosity of the ISG formulation surface. The GMD plasma levels in diabetic rats revealed no significant difference (p < 0.05) between the maximum GMD plasma concentrations of the optimized GMD-ISG formula (10 mg/ kg) and oral marketed GMD tablets (1 mg/kg). This result ensures that the optimized formula does not exceed the maximum safe plasma concentration. In addition, the optimized GMD-ISG formulation showed a depot effect that lasted for 14 days post-injection. This approach to controlling GMD release using an in situ forming system could be useful for improving patient compliance and diabetes treatment effectiveness.

An integrated Taguchi and response surface methodological approach for the optimization of an HPLC method to determine glimepiride in a supersaturatable self-nanoemulsifying formulation. Saudi Pharm J 2016; 24:92-103. [PMID: 26903773 PMCID: PMC4720010 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsps.2015.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2015] [Accepted: 03/11/2015] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
We studied the application of Taguchi orthogonal array (TOA) design during the development of an isocratic stability indicating HPLC method for glimepiride as per TOA design; twenty-seven experiments were conducted by varying six chromatographic factors. Percentage of organic phase was the most significant (p < 0.001) on retention time, while buffer pH had the most significant (p < 0.001) effect on tailing factor and theoretical plates. TOA design has shortcoming, which identifies the only linear effect, while ignoring the quadratic and interaction effects. Hence, a response surface model for each response was created including the linear, quadratic and interaction terms. The developed models for each response found to be well predictive bearing an acceptable adjusted correlation coefficient (0.9152 for retention time, 0.8985 for tailing factor and 0.8679 for theoretical plates). The models were found to be significant (p < 0.001) having a high F value for each response (15.76 for retention time, 13.12 for tailing factor and 9.99 for theoretical plates). The optimal chromatographic condition uses acetonitrile - potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 4.0; 30 mM) (50:50, v/v) as the mobile phase. The temperature, flow rate and injection volume were selected as 35 ± 2 °C, 1.0 mL min(-1) and 20 μL respectively. The method was validated as per ICH guidelines and was found to be specific for analyzing glimepiride from a novel supersaturatable self-nanoemulsifying formulation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There are many analytical methods available for estimation of glimepiride in biological samples and pharmaceutical preparations. To our knowledge, there is no specific reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for estimation of glimepiride and its dissolution study in self-nanoemulsifying powder (SNEP) formulation.
Methods
A simple method was carried out on a 5-μm particle octadesyl silane (ODS) column (250 × 4.6 mm) with acetonitrile: 0.2 M phosphate buffer (pH = 7.4) 40:60 v/v as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL/min, and quantification was achieved at 228 nm using PDA detector.
Results
The correlation coefficient (r
2) was found to be 0.999 over the concentration range of 0.2 to 2 μg/mL for glimepiride. The method was validated for linearity, accuracy, and precision. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were found to be 0.38 and 1.17 μg/mL, respectively.
Conclusions
The proposed method was found to be simple, precise, suitable, and accurate for quantification of glimepiride as an alternative to the existing methods for the routine analysis of glimepiride in pharmaceutical formulations and in vitro dissolution studies.
