AAPS PharmSciTech 2023; 24:183.

Abstract
This study presents the formulation and evaluation of an ABH Carbopol gel containing lorazepam (Ativan®), diphenhydramine hydrochloride (Benadryl®), and haloperidol (Haldol®) for treating chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in hospice patients. ABH PLO gel is widely used for this purpose due to its low cost and presumed efficacy. However, previous studies, including one conducted by the authors, have reported insufficient drug absorption from the ABH PLO gel. Here we hypothesized that the ABH Carbopol gel would provide superior percutaneous absorption of the drugs. ABH Carbopol gel was characterized for pH, viscosity, thermal properties, and infrared spectroscopy. The percutaneous absorption and skin retention of the gel was evaluated across porcine ear skin using Franz diffusion cells, and the drug concentrations were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The pH of the ABH Carbopol gel was found to be 6.80 ± 0.33, and the retention time of diphenhydramine, haloperidol, and lorazepam were 4.73, 7.11, and 18.69 minutes, respectively. The thermogram of the ABH Carbopol gel indicates the drugs were present in the dissolved state. Based on the flux data, the estimated steady-state concentration (Css) of diphenhydramine, haloperidol, and lorazepam were found to be 44.64 ng/ml, 2.58 ng/ml, and 20.1 ng/ml, respectively. These values were significantly higher than those obtained from the ABH PLO gel. In conclusion, the ABH Carbopol gel provides a promising alternative to the ABH PLO gel for treating CINV in hospice patients. Further studies are required to validate these findings in clinical settings.

Fabrication, In Vitro, and In Vivo Assessment of Eucalyptol-Loaded Nanoemulgel as a Novel Paradigm for Wound Healing. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14091971. [PMID: 36145720 PMCID: PMC9500607 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14091971] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Wounds are the most common causes of mortality all over the world. Topical drug delivery systems are more efficient in treating wounds as compared to oral delivery systems because they bypass the disadvantages of the oral route. The aim of the present study was to formulate and evaluate in vitro in vivo nanoemulgels loaded with eucalyptol for wound healing. Nanoemulsions were prepared using the solvent emulsification diffusion method by mixing an aqueous phase and an oil phase, and a nanoemulgel was then fabricated by mixing nanoemulsions with a gelling agent (Carbopol 940) in a 1:1 ratio. The nanoemulgels were evaluated regarding stability, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), droplet size, zeta potential, polydispersity index (PDI), spreadability, drug content, in vitro drug release, and in vivo study. The optimized formulation, F5, exhibited pH values between 5 and 6, with no significant variations at different temperatures, and acceptable homogeneity and spreadability. F5 had a droplet size of 139 ± 5.8 nm, with a low polydispersity index. FTIR studies showed the compatibility of the drug with the excipients. The drug content of F5 was 94.81%. The percentage of wound contraction of the experimental, standard, and control groups were 100% ± 0.015, 98.170% ± 0.749, and 70.846% ± 0.830, respectively. Statistically, the experimental group showed a significant difference (p < 0.03) from the other two groups. The results suggest that the formulated optimized dosage showed optimum stability, and it can be considered an effective wound healing alternative.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CPX) is prone to spontaneous self-aggregation and formation of supramolecular dimers (π - π stacking) due to its complicated surface chemistry which has been associated with its anomalous solubility and instability in aqueous systems particularly near neutral pH. The surface characteristic of ciprofloxacin was modified through non-intuitive counterion interaction between CPX and diethylaminoethyl dextran (DDEX) to form nanoconjugate assembly. The CPX-DDEX nanoconjugate was confirmed by FTIR, SEM, DSC, TGA, and 1H-NMR. The DSC thermograms showed a remarkable 20% reduction in the melting temperature (Tm) of CPX from 268.57±1.11°C to 214.36±1.0211°C and 78% reduction in enthalpy of fusion (ΔHf) from 59.84 kJ/mol (180.59 J/g) to 12.90 kJ/mol (38.92 J/g), indicating increased solubility and dissolution efficiency. DDEX polymer alone exhibited pseudoplastic characteristics however with more viscous rather than elastic response, while the CPX-DDEX nanoconjugate suspensions exhibited remarkable elastic behavior with significantly increased storage modulus (G') thus controlling and extending the release of CPX. The reconstituted freeze-dried CPX-DDEX nanoconjugate suspension was chemically stable throughout the 90-day study both in the refrigerator and at controlled room temperature, while the aqueous suspension of pure CPX without DDEX was only stable for 72 and 24 h, respectively. The dissolution efficiency of the CPX-DDEX nanoconjugate suspensions increased with increasing molar concentration of DDEX to a maximum of 100% at 50 μM of DDEX followed by a remarkable decrease within the 3-week study. It was apparent that the dissolution efficiency was governed by a critical balance between the CPX solubility and the viscoelastic characteristics of the polymeric nanoassembly. This study demonstrates the potential application of polymer-drug nanoconjugation formulation design to stabilization and flexible delivery of CPX from aqueous suspension systems. Graphical abstract.

Simple, fast and environmentally friendly method to determine ciprofloxacin in wastewater samples based on an impedimetric immunosensor. RSC Adv 2020; 10:1838-1847.

Abstract
In this study an impedimetric immunosensor was developed in order to determine ciprofloxacin (CIP) in wastewater samples, an emergent contaminant widely found in wastewater. To achieve this, an anti-ciprofloxacin antibody was immobilized on the surface of a printed carbon electrode. Then, the developed immunosensor was applied in wastewater samples from Université Laval residences (Québec, Canada) through the load transfer resistance (Rct) using [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− as a redox probe, and the average CIP concentration was found to be 2.90 × 10−4 μg mL−1. The observed Rct changes presented a linear relationship from CIP concentrations of 10−5 to 1.0 μg mL−1, with detection and quantification limits of 2.50 × 10−6 and 7.90 × 10−6 μg mL−1, respectively. The immunosensor presented high selectivity and repeatability, as well as a good recovery rate in wastewater samples (97%). Significant interference with other compounds was not observed. The proposed method requires only 30 μL of sample without the use of organic solvents or preceding sample preparation and/or extraction techniques. Moreover, the method is fast: only 20 min of incubation followed by 2 min of analysis time was sufficient to obtain the CIP concentration. The method's estimated cost is U$ 2.00 per sample. In this study an impedimetric immunosensor was developed in order to determine ciprofloxacin (CIP) in wastewater samples, an emergent contaminant widely found in wastewater samples.![]()

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ciprofloxacin free base is practically insoluble in aqueous medium (0.0011 and 0.09 mg/mL at 25 and 37°C respectively). Its inorganic salt form (ciprofloxacin hydrochloride) is more soluble in water (1.35 mg/mL) however when administered orally, it exhibits decreased solubility in the stomach due to common ion effects. Ciprofloxacin free base was used in this study because of its greater hydrophobicity than its hydrochloride salt, which is required for effective permeability and potent antibacterial activity. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to enhance oral solubility and bacterial cell permeability of the free base ciprofloxacin (CPX) using a single step CPX-chitosan (CT) selfassembly to form nanoplexes with organic counterions. It was envisioned that this would allow the delivery of larger amounts of active drug into the microorganisms. METHODS Ciprofloxacin-chitosan nanocomplex (nanoplex) was prepared using low energy electrostatic self-assembly technique previously described. Formation of eutectic nanoplex was confirmed using FTIR, DSC, TGA and SEM. The saturated solubility, in vitro release kinetics and mechanism of drug release were determined using mathematical models. Potency and synergism were determined from the inhibition zones, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and Fractional Inhibitory Concentration (FIC) of the nanoplexes using Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. RESULTS Formation of CPX-CT eutectic adduct polymeric nanoplexes was confirmed with FT-IR and DSC and SEM revealed the conversion of rod-like crystals of CPX (117 μm long) into spherical nanostructures (23-503 nm) dictated by pH, ionic strength and concentration of CT. The solubility of free base CPX increased to a maximum of 32.77 mg/mL compared to 0.0011-0.09 mg/mL reported in literature and dissolution efficiency increased to a maximum of 100% within 72 h. The synergistic effect of CT on antimicrobial activity of CPX was quantified, for the first time, using Fractional Inhibitory Concentration (FIC) of the nanoplexes. FIC was less than 0.5 in both Gram positive (0.031-0.250) and Gram negative (0.036-0.281) microorganisms used in this study, confirming synergistic enhancement of antimicrobial efficacy of CPX. CONCLUSION It is evident that the design of drug-polymer nanocomplex formulation provides a platform for the synergistic enhancement of therapeutic potency of antibiotics.
