Abstract
Uric acid (UA) levels in blood serum have been associated with hypertension, indicating a potential causal relationship between high serum UA levels and the progression of hypertension. Therefore, the reduction of serum UA level is considered a potential strategy for lowering and mitigating blood pressure. If an individual is at risk of developing or already manifesting elevated blood pressure, this intervention could be an integral part of a comprehensive treatment plan. By addressing hyperuricaemia, practitioners may subsidize the optimization of blood pressure regulation, which illustrates the importance of addressing UA levels as a valuable strategy within the broader context of hypertension management. In this analysis, we outlined the operational principles of effective xanthine oxidase inhibitors for the treatment of hyperuricaemia and hypertension, along with an exploration of the contribution of nanotechnology to this field.

Taha EF, Hamed NS, Khateeb S. Etoricoxib nanostructured lipid carriers attenuate inflammation by modulating Cyclooxygenase-2 signaling and activation of nuclear factor-κB-p65 pathways in radiation-induced acute cardiotoxicity in rats. Eur J Pharmacol 2023; 957:176029. [PMID: 37648012 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2023.176029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023]
Abstract
The current investigation aimed to explore the potential of etoricoxib nanostructured lipid carriers (ET-NLCs) as an anti-inflammatory drug in radiation-exposed rats, with a focus on assessing its efficacy in reducing inflammation while minimizing cardiac toxicity compared to conventional etoricoxib (ET) treatment. The ET-NLCs were prepared by the low-temperature melt emulsification solidification technique. Various techniques were employed to characterize the NLCs. Rats were exposed to gamma-irradiation (6 Gy) to induce cardiac inflammation and injury, followed by oral administration of ET or ET-NLCs (10 mg/kg b.w.) for 14 consecutive days. Results demonstrated a significant increase in the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), nuclear factor kappa-B p65 (NF-κB-p65), and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP-1) in the heart tissues of gamma-irradiated rats compared to the control group. This increase was accompanied by a reduction in the activity of antioxidant enzymes. However, treatment with ET and ET-NLCs exhibited a positive impact on these levels. Interestingly, the efficacy of ET-NLCs in mitigating radiation-induced inflammation in heart tissue was found to be superior to that of ET. In conclusion, the study suggests that the utilization of NLCs as a drug delivery system for ET may not only enhance its therapeutic efficacy but also help reduce the cardiovascular risks associated with ET, specifically focused on individuals who had been exposed to gamma radiation. These findings open new avenues for further research in the development of effective and safer therapeutic strategies for managing inflammatory diseases and their impact on cardiovascular health.

Abstract
Gout is a common inflammatory arthritis caused by persistently elevated uric acid levels. With the improvement of people's living standards, the consumption of processed food and the widespread use of drugs that induce elevated uric acid, gout rates are increasing, seriously affecting the human quality of life, and becoming a burden to health systems worldwide. Since the pathological mechanism of gout has been elucidated, there are relatively effective drug treatments in clinical practice. However, due to (bio)pharmaceutical shortcomings of these drugs, such as poor chemical stability and limited ability to target the pathophysiological pathways, traditional drug treatment strategies show low efficacy and safety. In this scenario, drug delivery systems (DDS) design that overcome these drawbacks is urgently called for. In this review, we initially describe the pathological features, the therapeutic targets, and the drugs currently in clinical use and under investigation to treat gout. We also comprehensively summarize recent research efforts utilizing lipid, polymeric and inorganic carriers to develop advanced DDS for improved gout management and therapy.

Int J Pharm 2023; 636:122860. [PMID: 36933584 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.122860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2022] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
Silymarin (SME) shows multiple therapeutic actions against several cancers, however, low aqueous solubility and poor bioavailability issues restrict its clinical use. In this study, SME was loaded in nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) and further incorporated in mucoadhesive in-situ gel (SME-NLCs-Plx/CP-ISG) for localized treatment of oral cancer. Using a 33 Box-Behnken design (BBD), an optimized SME-NLC formula was developed with the ratios of solid lipids, surfactant concentration, and sonication time as independent variables, while particle size (PS), polydispersity index (PDI), and % encapsulation efficiency (EE) as dependent variables, resulting in 315.5 ± 0.1 nm PS, 0.341 ± 0.01 PDI, and 71.05 ± 0.05 % EE. Structural studies confirmed the formation of SME-NLCs. SME-NLCs incorporated in-situ gel demonstrated a sustained release for SME, indicating enhanced retention on the buccal mucosal membrane. The in-situ gel containing SME-NLCs showed a marked decrease in IC50 value (24.90 ± 0.45 µM) than SME-NLCs (28.40 ± 0.89 µM) and plain SME (36.60 ± 0.26 µM). The studies demonstrated that Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation potential and SME-NLCs-Plx/CP-ISG induced apoptosis at Sub-G0 phase owing to higher penetration of SME-NLCs led to higher inhibition against human KB oral cancer cells. Therefore, SME-NLCs-Plx/CP-ISG can be the alternative to chemotherapy and surgery with site-specific delivery of SME to oral cancer patients.

Tailoring Apixaban in Nanostructured Lipid Carrier Enhancing Its Oral Bioavailability and Anticoagulant Activity. Pharmaceutics 2022; 15:pharmaceutics15010080. [PMID: 36678709 PMCID: PMC9867073 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15010080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 12/18/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Apixaban (Apx), an oral anticoagulant drug, is a direct factor Xa inhibitor for the prophylaxis against venous thromboembolism. Apx has limited oral bioavailability and poor water solubility. The goal of this study was to improve the formulation of an Apx-loaded nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) to increase its bioavailability and effectiveness. As solid lipid, liquid lipid, hydrophilic, and lipophilic stabilizers, stearic acid, oleic acid, Tween 80, and lecithin were used, respectively. Utilizing Box-Behnken design, the effects of three factors on NLC particle size (Y1), zeta potential (Y2), and entrapment efficiency percent (Y3) were examined and optimized. The optimized formula was prepared, characterized, morphologically studied, and pharmacokinetically and pharmacodynamically assessed. The observed responses of the optimized Apx formula were 315.2 nm, -43.4 mV, and 89.84% for Y1, Y2, and Y3, respectively. Electron microscopy revealed the homogenous spherical shape of the NLC particles. The in vivo pharmacokinetic study conducted in male Wistar rats displayed an increase in AUC and Cmax by 8 and 2.67 folds, respectively, compared to oral Apx suspension. Moreover, the half-life was increased by 1.94 folds, and clearance was diminished by about 8 folds, which makes the NLC formula a promising sustained release system. Interestingly, the pharmacodynamic results displayed the superior effect of the optimized formula over the drug suspension with prolongation in the cuticle bleeding time. Moreover, both prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time are significantly increased. So, incorporating Apx in an NLC formula significantly enhanced its oral bioavailability and pharmacodynamic activity.

J Biosci Bioeng 2022; 134:269-275.

Abstract
Polyphenols are widely used as antioxidant agents to protect human health. Resveratrol, kaempferol, and quercetin have been reported to have potent antioxidant activity; however, these compounds have many problems related to their practical application, such as instability and insolubility. Thus, a nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) was utilized as a drug delivery system (DDS) to overcome these limitations. This study investigated the particle stability, drug loading performance, and antioxidant activity of polyphenols-incorporated NLCs. The particle size and distribution were suitable for DDS applications, and all the samples demonstrated good stability after 2 months of storage. Based on Raman spectroscopy analysis, polyphenols were successfully encapsulated in NLCs. Quantitative high-performance liquid chromatography analysis indicated that NLCs could load resveratrol more than kaempferol and quercetin. In addition, NLCs have successfully improved all the antioxidant activity per unit concentration of polyphenol (specific antioxidant activity) compared to the free polyphenols. Quercetin-incorporated NLCs showed the highest specific antioxidant activity. This result is the opposite of entrapment efficiency and actual antioxidant activity, most likely influenced by the location of entrapped polyphenol molecules. As it was performed, NLCs are highly recommended to be applied as an antioxidant delivery system.
