Abstract
The current research aims to develop a carrier system for the delivery of a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor along with a bioceramic agent to the periodontal pocket. It is proposed that the present system, if given along with a systemic antibiotic, would be a fruitful approach for periodontitis amelioration. To fulfill the aforementioned objective, a doxycycline hyclate- and hydroxyapatite-adsorbed composite was prepared by a physical adsorption method and successfully loaded inside sodium alginate-chitosan nanoparticles and optimized based on particle size and drug content. Optimized formulation was then subjected to different evaluation parameters like encapsulation efficiency, hydroxyapatite content, ζ potential, surface morphology, in vitro drug release, cell line studies, and stability studies. For the optimized formulation, particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), entrapment efficiency, ζ potential, and drug content were found to be 336.50 nm, 0.23, 41.77%, -13.85 mV, and 14.00%, respectively. The surface morphology of the placebo and adsorbed composite-loaded nanoparticles as observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed the spherical shape and rough surface of the particles. In gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) 7.6, a sustained drug release profile was obtained up to 36 h. In vitro % viability studies performed on murine fibroblast cells (NIH3T3) and human periodontal ligament (hPDL) cell lines confirmed the proliferative nature of the formulation. Also, when subjected to stability studies for 4 weeks, particle size, PDI, and drug content did not vary considerably, thereby ensuring the stable nature of nanoparticles. Henceforth, sodium alginate-chitosan nanoparticles appeared to be a good carrier system for doxycycline hyclate and hydroxyapatite for periodontal therapy. If given along with a system antibiotic, the system will serve as a fruitful tool for infection-mediated periodontal regeneration and healing.

Abstract
Quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.) is a pomaceous fruit that is typically processed into jams, jellies, and marmalade. The byproduct, i.e., the quince peel emanated from the processing industry, can be upcycled, ensuring zero waste policy and resulting in a sustainable food system. In our study, the quince peel was explored for in vitro phytochemical analysis and in vivo cardioprotective potential. Two diverse extractions (ultrasonication and reflux) and four different solvents (aqueous, ethanolic, hydroethanolic, and methanolic) were used for the extraction of quince peel and assessed for the phytochemical and antioxidant study. Among all the evaluated extracts, hydroethanolic quince extract extracted through the reflux extraction method showed the maximum phenolic (27.23 ± 0.85 mg GAE/g DW) and flavonoid (16.5 ± 1.02 mg RE/g DW) content. The maximum antioxidant potential (DPPH) with an IC50 value of 204.8 ± 2.24 μg/mL was noted for the hydroethanolic extract. This best active extract was then subjected to HPTLC, UPLC-MS, mineral, and FTIR analysis to study the metabolic profiling and inorganic composition and to confirm the presence of bioactives. Additionally, the in vivo study was done in rats using doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity. The rats were given extracts orally at 160 and 320 mg/kg bw for 30 days. ECG analysis was done at the termination of the experiment. Besides this, the lipid profile, blood serum parameters (CK-MB, LDH, AST), and tissue parameters (MDA, SOD, GSH, CAT) were analyzed. The DOX-treated group unveiled a substantial variance (p < 0.001) in all the parameters in contrast to the normal control group and extract control groups. However, the pretreated groups substantially alleviated the DOX-induced changes in all the parameters. Additionally, recuperation in histopathological alterations of the cardiac tissue in contrast to the DOX-induced toxicity was also seen in the pretreated groups. Thus, it could be said that the cardioprotective activity of the quince peel extract attributed to the presence of phytoconstituents counteracted the DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and assisted in the restoration of the cardiac injury in rats.

Abstract
Background: The ever-growing emergence of antibiotic resistance associated with tuberculosis (TB) has become a global challenge. In 2012, the USFDA gave expedited approval to bedaquiline (BDQ) as a new treatment for drug-resistant TB in adults when no other viable options are available. BDQ is a diarylquinoline derivative and exhibits targeted action on mycobacterium tuberculosis, but due to poor solubility, the desired therapeutic action is not achieved. Objective: To develop a QbD-based self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system of bedaquiline using various oils, surfactants, and co-surfactants. Methods: The quality target product profile (QTPP) and critical quality attributes (CQAs) were identified with a patient-centric approach, which facilitated the selection of critical material attributes (CMAs) during pre-formulation studies and initial risk assessment. Caprylic acid as a lipid, propylene glycol as a surfactant, and Transcutol-P as a co-surfactant were selected as CMAs for the formulation of bedaquiline fumarate SNEDDS. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed to determine the optimal ratio of oil and Smix. To optimize the formulation, a Box-Benkhen design (BBD) was used. The optimized formulation (BDQ-F-SNEDSS) was further evaluated for parameters such as droplet size, polydispersity index (PDI), percentage transmittance, dilution studies, stability studies, and cell toxicity through the A549 cell. Results: Optimized BDQ-F-SNEDDS showed well-formed droplets of 98.88 ± 2.1 nm with a zeta potential of 21.16 mV. In vitro studies showed enhanced drug release with a high degree of stability at 25 ± 2 °C, 60 ± 5% and 40 ± 2 °C, 75 ± 5%. Furthermore, BDQ-F-SNEDDS showed promising cell viability in A549 cells, indicating BDQ-F-SNEDDS as a safer formulation for oral delivery. Conclusion: Finally, it was concluded that the utilization of a QbD approach in the development of BDQ-F-loaded SNEDDS offers a promising strategy to improve the biopharmaceutical properties of the drug, resulting in potential cost and time savings.

Abstract
Disodium pamidronate, a second-generation bisphosphonate is a potent drug for the treatment of osteoporosis, which has been very well established by previous literature. It has very low oral permeability, leading to its low oral bioavailability, which restrict this drug to being administered orally. Therefore, the present research work includes the development of an orally effective nanoformulation of pamidronate. In this work, disodium pamidronate was complexed with phospholipon 90G for the enhancement of permeability and to investigate the phospholipon 90G-tagged pamidronate complex-loaded SNEDDS for oral delivery with promises of enhanced bioavailability and anti-osteoporotic activity. The rational design and optimization was employed using Central Composite Design (Design Expert® 12, software) to optimize nanoformulation parameters. In this work, a commercially potential self nano-emulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) has been developed and evaluated for improved oral bioavailability and better clinical acceptance. The hot micro-emulsification and ultracentrifugation method with vortex mixing was utilized for effective tagging of phospholipon 90G with pamidronate and then loading into the SNEDDS nanocarrier. The optimized Pam-PLc SNEDDS formulation was characterized for particle size, PDI, and zeta potential and found to be 56.38 ± 1.37 nm, 0.218 ± 0.113, and 22.41 ± 1.14 respectively. Also, a 37.9% improved bioavailability of pamidronate compared to marketed tablet was observed. Similarly, in vivo pharmacokinetic studies suggest a 31.77% increased bone density and significant enhanced bone biomarkers compared to marketed tablets. The developed formulation is safe and effectively overcomes anti-osteoporosis promises with improved therapeutic potential. This work provides very significant achievements in postmenopausal osteoporosis treatment and may lead to possible use of nanotherapeutic-driven emerging biodegradable carriers-based drug delivery.

Abstract
Various preclinical and clinical studies exhibited the potential of cannabis against various diseases, including cancer and related pain. Subsequently, many efforts have been made to establish and develop cannabis-related products and make them available as prescription products. Moreover, FDA has already approved some cannabis-related products, and more advancement in this aspect is still going on. However, the approved product of cannabis is in oral dosage form, which exerts various limitations to achieve maximum therapeutic effects. A considerable translation is on a hike to improve bioavailability, and ultimately, the therapeutic efficacy of cannabis by the employment of nanotechnology. Besides the well-known psychotropic effects of cannabis upon the use at high doses, literature has also shown the importance of cannabis and its constituents in minimising the lethality of cancer in the preclinical models. This review discusses the history of cannabis, its legal aspect, safety profile, the mechanism by which cannabis combats with cancer, and the advancement of clinical therapy by exploiting nanotechnology. A brief discussion related to the role of cannabinoid in various cancers has also been incorporated. Lastly, the information regarding completed and ongoing trials have also been elaborated.

Abstract
The pharmaceutical industry is moving towards the future and is witnessing innovation in drug development through the introduction of personalized medicine technologies. Instead of adapting the dose thata patient needs, they were adapted to the manufacturer's dose. Nowpatient-specific or customized dosing methods and dosing combinations have superior persistence to the standard mass-produced drugs. Printing technology has gained interest during the last few years to manufacture personalized dosage forms. For manufacturing personalized drug products, three-dimensional printing (3DP) has expanded to the pharmaceutical industry. With the approval of the first 3DP product, an unprecedented opportunity for discovering new compounds and technologies has arisen. This article has re-evaluated various printing technology and theirutilization in personalized medicines. Further, we also discussed its history, advantages, challenges and differenttypes of printing technologies with advantages and limitations, particularly in the area of pharmaceutical research.

Abstract
Background:
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a well-established anticancer drug. Several studies have also demonstrated the anticancer potential of Cannabidiol (CBD) against various malignancies, including skin cancer. Reported synergistic effects of this combination fascinate researchers to consider this for the management of skin cancer.
Methods:
A simple and robust HPLC method for simultaneous estimation of 5-FU and CBD at its single wavelength (237 nm) was developed and validated. The separation of these compounds was performed on Waters® HPLC system with Hypersil™ C18 RP-column using methanol and water in gradient flow as mobile phase. The method could effectively quantify the nanogram levels of both analytes simultaneously in plasma spiked samples and various nanoformulations. The analytical performance of the proposed method was validated in terms of various parameters, such as linearity, ruggedness, specificity, and few others.
Results:
5-FU as well as CBD were successfully detected at 237 nm with retention time 1.4 and 1.84 minutes respectively. Calibration curves were found to be linear with R2 values of 0.985 and 0.984 for 5-FU and CBD respectively. The method was linear, precise, specific and robust. Additionally, prepared method successfully employed in determining concentration of both drugs in combitorial nanoformulations.
Conclusion:
The findings show that the developed method was simple, reliable, sensitive and economical. It could be employed for the simultaneous estimation of 5-FU and CBD in various in vitro and in vivo studies.

Abstract
This study reports the formulation of mupirocin-loaded chitosan microspheres embedded in Piper betle extract containing collagen scaffold as combinational drug delivery for improved wound healing. Selection of chitosan type (molecular weight and degree of deacetylation) was carried out based on their antibacterial efficacy. The low molecular weight chitosan was selected owing to the highest antibacterial action against gram-positive as well as gram-negative bacteria. Low molecular weight chitosan-microspheres showed spherical shape with largely smooth surface morphology, 11.81% of mupirocin loading, and its controlled release profile. The XRD, DSC thermograms, and FT-IR spectral analysis revealed the mupirocin loaded in molecularly dispersed or in amorphous form, and having no chemical interactions with the chitosan matrix, respectively. The in vivo study indicates potential effect of the mupirocin, Piper betle, and chitosan in the collagen scaffold in the wound healing efficiency with approximately 90% wound healing observed at the end of 15 days of study for combinational drug-loaded chitosan microspheres-collagen scaffold-treated group. The histopathology examination further revealed tissue lined by stratified squamous epithelium, collagen deposition, fibroblastic proliferation, and absence of inflammation indicating relatively efficient wound healing once treated with combinational drug-loaded chitosan microspheres containing scaffold.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is still a disease burden for pharmaceutical scientists and strategy makers. It is associated with the chronic inflammation of joints especially weight-bearing joints like knee, hip, backbone, and phalanges. NSAIDs that are used for the management of inflammation associated with osteoarthritis have high side effects related to gastric upset, gastric ulcer, and long term treatment associated with liver and kidney damage. Nanotechnology has gained a huge scope for the management of arthritis as it can reach out to the deep inside the cell and alter cellular physiology as desired. The present study hypothesizes the use of polyion complex nanoparticles of hyaluronic acid linked Pentosan polysulfate sodium, a disease-modifying agent for the treatment of osteoarthritis administered through transdermal route. The hypothesis involves the use of drug repurposing as the drug was initially approved for interstitial cystitis, a condition of the urinary bladder associated with pain and swelling. Being very low oral bioavailability and gastric irritation profile, the transdermal route would be beneficial. To overcome the problem associated with the oral route, there is a need for the targeted approach that will particularly reach at inflammatory sites. Thereby transdermal delivery of hyaluronic acid linked Pentosan polysulfate sodium through polyion complex nanoparticle therapy will be a novel therapeutic approach to combat osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Drug delivery to the brain has been a significant challenge in treating neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier, which primarily obstructs the access of drugs and biomolecules into the brain. Several methods to overcome the blood-brain barrier have been employed, such as chemical disruption, surgical intervention, focused ultrasound, intranasal delivery, and the use of nanocarriers. Nanocarrier systems remain the method of choice and have shown promising results over the past decade to achieve better drug targeting. Polymeric nanocarriers and lipidic nanoparticles act as a carrier system providing better encapsulation of drugs, site-specific delivery, increased bioavailability, and sustained release of drugs. The surface modifications and functionalization of these nanocarrier systems have greatly facilitated targeted drug delivery. The safety and efficacy of these nanocarrier systems have been ascertained by several in vitro and in vivo models. In the present review, we have elaborated on recent developments of nanoparticles as a drug delivery system for Alzheimer's disease, explicitly focusing on polymeric and lipidic nanoparticles.

Abstract
Borage oil that is extracted from (Borago officinalis Linn.) is a well-known medicinal plant having various medicinal benefits. In this work, an affordable, simple, reliable, rapid and easily accessible high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method was developed for the estimation of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) in borage oil. HPTLC method employs thin-layer chromatography (TLC) aluminum plates precoated with silica gel (G60F254) as the stationary phase, and the mixture of hexane:toulene:glacial acetic acid (3:7:1, v/v/v) was used as the mobile phase. Densitometric analysis of the TLC plates was carried out at 200 nm. The developed method showed well-resolved spots with retention factor (Rf) value of 0.53 ± 0.04 for GLA. Various experimental conditions like saturation time for chamber, solvent phase migration and width of the band were studied intensely for selecting the optimum conditions. The method validation was performed for parameters like linearity, accuracy, specificity and precision. The values of limit of detection and limit of quantification for GLA were found to be 0.221 and 0.737 μg/band, respectively. In nutshell, the developed HPTLC method was found to be highly sensitive for the estimation of GLA in the herbal oil samples and formulations.

Abstract
Smilax china
L. (family Smilacaceae) and
Salix alba
L. (family Salicaceae) are plants that have been traditionally used to treat various ailments in Indian and Chinese medicine. A quantitative estimation of the methanolic extracts of these plants was performed by GC-MS analysis to obtain insight into its phytoconstituents responsible for therapeutic action. The antioxidant potential of the methanol extracts of
Smilax china
(MESC) and
Salix alba
(MESA) were assessed with DPPH by using a UV spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 517 nm. The prevailing compounds found in MESC were lactam sugars including 2,5-dimethyl-2,4-dihydroxy-3(2H)-furanon (1.40%), 1,5-anhydro-6-deoxyhexo-2,3-diulose (4.33%), and alpha-methyl-1-sorboside (1.80%); the two alkaloids found were 1,4-methane-4,4a,5,6,7,8,9,9a-octahydro-10,10-dimethyl cyclohepta[d] pyridazine (0.87%) and 1,3,7-trimethyl-2,6-dioxopurine(0.54%); terpenes included deltacadinene (0.39%), terpineol, (+)-cedrol (22.13%), 3-thujanol (0.77%), and 9,10-dehydro-cycloisolongifolene (0.34%); fatty acids included cis-vaccenic acid (4.98%) and telfairic acid (1.10%); esters included 1,2,3-propanetriol diacetate (7.56%), 7-hexadecenoic acid, methyl ester (1.77%), eicosanoic acid, and methyl ester (0.95%); and glycerol included 1,2,3-propanetriol (28.75%). The interesting compounds found in MESA were reducing sugars like D-allose (4.40%) and pyrogallol (10.48%), alkaloids like caffeine (63.49%), and esters like methyl octadecanoate (0.53%). Both fractions revealed considerable antioxidant activity. The reported existing phenolic compounds and terpenes are responsible for the antioxidant activity of the plant extracts.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease that remains unnoticed until a fracture occurs. It is more predominant in the older age population, particularly in females due to reduced estrogen levels and ultimately limited calcium absorption. The cost burden of treating osteoporotic fractures is too high, therefore, primary focus should be treatment at an early stage. Most of the marketed drugs are available as oral delivery dosage forms. The complications, as well as patient non-compliance, limit the use of oral therapy for prolonged drug delivery. Transdermal delivery systems seem to be a promising approach for the delivery of anti-osteoporotic active moieties. One of the confronting barriers is the passage of drugs through the SC layers followed by penetration to deeper dermal layers. The review focuses on how anti-osteoporotic drugs can be molded through different approaches so that they can be exploited for the skin to systemic delivery. Insights into the various challenges in transdermal delivery and how the novel delivery system can be used to overcome these have also been detailed.

Abstract
Methionine-gold nanoparticles (MGNs) was synthesized by conjugating methionine via dithiocarbamate linkage to gold nanoparticles (GNPs), prepared simultaneously by one pot modified Burst method. Formation of MGNs was confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy and appearance of new IR bands in the range of 934 cm-1 to 1086 cm-1 and shifting of N-C,S-S and S-C-S stretching, confirms the involvement of '-S-C-S-' group of methionine dithiocarbamate with GNPs. The presence of Au in MGNs was confirmed by EDXA spectrum, whereas TEM, SAED and XRD revealed that MGNs are nanocrystalline (~13 nm) and have face-centered cubic structure. MGNs was labeled with 99mTc (TMGNs) with radiolabeling efficiency greater than 99% using 300 μg of stannous chloride, pH 7 and 90.6 MBq of 99mTcO4. The stability data showed that the conjugate will remain infrangible in systemic circulation and in acidic microenvironment of tumor. The blood kinetic profile of TMGN in rabbits and biodistribution studies in EAT tumor bearing balb/c mice showed longer in vivo circulation and slow clearance compared to radiolabeled methionine (TM). TMGN demonstrated nearly three-fold higher tumor accumulation (3.9 ± 0.35% ID/g), 2-fold lower tumor saturation dose (1.0 μg/kg) and higher tumor retention compared with TM. Data showed that the TMGN tumor: blood ratio (1.05) is nearly 2.5-fold higher than TM (0.44), whereas TMGN tumor: muscle ratio (97.5) is nearly 8-fold higher than TM (11.6). In conclusion, TMGN showed excellent tumor targeting and has promising prospects as a SPECT-radiopharmaceutical for imaging tumors.

Abstract
Nanoemulsions (NEs) or nanometric-scaled emulsions are transparent or translucent, optically isotropic and kinetically stable heterogeneous system of two different immiscible liquids namely, water and oil stabilized with an amphiphilic surfactant having droplet size ranges up to 100 nm. They offer a variety of potential interests for certain applications: improved deep-rooted stability; excellent optical clarity; and, enhanced bioavailability due to its nanoscale of particles. Though there is still comparatively narrow insight apropos design, development, and optimization of NEs, which mainly stems from the fact that conventional characteristics of emulsion development and stabilization only partly apply to NEs. The contemporary article focuses on the nanoemulsion dosage form journey from concept to key application in drug delivery. In addition, industrial scalability of the nanoemulsion, as well as its presence in commercial and clinical practice, are also addressed.

Abstract
Introduction Ziprasidone (ZP) is a novel atypical antipsychotic agent effective in the treatment of positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia with low chances for extrapyramidal side effects (EPs) and cognitive deficits. ZP possesses poor oral bioavailability (~50%), short biological half-life (~2.5 h) and due to extensive first-pass metabolism, a repeated dose is administered which makes the therapy non-adherent, leading to patient non-compliance. Therefore, this is a first report of developing parenteral ZP loaded sustained release phospholipid based phase-transition system (ZP-LPS). Methods The ZP-LPS system was formulated by mixing of biocompatible materials including phospholipid E 80, medium chain triglyceride (MCT) and ethanol. Optimization was done by aqueous titration method using pseudo-ternary phase diagram and dynamic rheological measurements. In vivo depot formation was confirmed by gamma scintigraphy after subcutaneous injection. Biodegradation and biocompatibility studies were performed for its safety evaluation. Finally, the efficacy of the formulation was assessed by Morris water maze (MWM) test and dizocilpine (MK-801) was used to induce schizophrenia in Sprague-Dawley rats. Results Optimized ZP-LPS showed rapid gelation (2 min), highest change in viscosity (~48000 mPa.s) and sustained release of ZP over a period of 1 month. Gamma scintigraphy depicted that the low-viscosity ZP-LPS system undergo rapid in situ gelation. Biodegradation and biocompatibility studies revealed gradual degradation in size of depot over a period of 28 days without any inflammation at the injection site. In MWM test, escape latency, time spent and total distance in target quadrant were significantly improved (p < 0.001) in the ZP-LPS group in comparison to the MK-801 group when evaluated at day 0, day 7 and day 28. However, significant improvement (p < 0.001) was observed only at day 0 in ZP suspension group. Conclusion The overall result indicates that the novel ZP-LPS system is safe, biodegradable, and effective for the management of schizophrenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultra-performance LC (UPLC)-tandem MS (MS/MS) and high-performance TLC (HPTLC) assay methods were developed for chemical fingerprinting and quantitative analysis of bioactive constituents of a certain "Itrifal formulation," a traditional kind of Unani medicine. OBJECTIVE In the present investigation, HPTLC and UPLC-MS/MS methods were developed and validated for the detection and quantification of major metabolites present in itrifal formulation. METHODS The metabolites present in the formulation were separated using modern chromatographic techniques, and a quantitative analysis was performed. Analytical performance of the proposed HPTLC and UPLC-MS/MS methods was validated as per the defined guidelines with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, and specificity. RESULTS The developed UPLC-MS/MS and HPTLC methods were used for quantification of gallic acid, tannic acid, catechin, and quercetin. All four constituents were quantified by UPLC-MS/MS, while two constituents were quantified by HPTLC in the commercial itrifal formulation. The calibration plot was found to be linear, accurate, precise, robust, and specific for both HPTLC and UPLC-MS/MS. CONCLUSIONS The present methods were successfully applied for analysis of the given markers in itrifal formulations. The same can be used for QC and stability testing of itrifal formulations.

Abstract
The poor solubility of paclitaxel (PTX), the most commonly used anticancer drug (Taxol®), has long hindered the development of successful formulations. In 2005, the launch of Abraxane®, a human albumin-based preparation of PTX, competed with Taxol® in the commercial market. The success of Abraxane pushed other generic preparations aside, sparking competition among the global pharmaceutical companies to develop the novel and superior PTX nanotechnology-driven formulations. Unsurprisingly, the success underlying with cancer treatment using nano PTX therapy has now entered into a new era of drug development, patentability, preclinical and clinical evaluation, leading eventually to a significant increase in the regulatory approval of the products. The present article aims to provide recent progress in the development of nano PTX formulations by various pharmaceutical companies for safe and effective drug therapies for patients benefit.

Abstract
The poorly water-soluble chemotherapeutic agents, paclitaxel (PTX), exhibit serious clinical side effects upon oral administration due to poor aqueous solubility and a high degree of toxic effects due to non-specific distribution to healthy tissues. In our efforts, we formulated biocompatible dietary lipid-based nanostructured lipidic carriers (NLCs) to enhance the oral bioavailability of PTX for treatment of the liver cancer. A three-factor, three-level Box-Behnken design was employed for formulation and optimization of PTX-loaded NLC formulations. PTX-loaded NLC formulation prepared by melt-emulsification in which glyceryl monostearate (GMS) was used as solid lipid and soybean oil as liquid lipid, while poloxamer 188 and Tween 80 (1:1) incorporated as a surfactant. In vitro drug release investigation was executed by dialysis bag approach, which indicated initial burst effect with > 60% drug release within a 4-h time period. Moreover, PTX-NLCs indicated high entrapment (86.48%) and drug loading efficiency (16.54%). In vitro cytotoxicity study of PTX-NLCs performed on HepG2 cell line by MTT assay indicated that PTX-NLCs exhibited comparatively higher cytotoxicity than commercial formulation (Intaxel®). IC50 values of PTX-NLCs and Intaxel® after 24-h exposure were found to be 4.19 μM and 11.2 μM. In vivo pharmacokinetic study in Wistar rats also indicated nearly 6.8-fold improvement in AUC and Cmax of the drug from the PTX-NLCs over the PTX suspension. In a nutshell, the observed results construed significant enhancement in the biopharmaceutical attributes of PTX-NLCs as a potential therapy for the management of human liver carcinoma.

Abstract
Purpose: Amikacin, a water-soluble aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat gram-negative bacillary infections, is a Biopharmaceutics Classification System class III drug having poor permeability and short half-life. It is given parenterally, which limits its use in patients warranting “at-home care.” An oral drug delivery of amikacin is, therefore, imminent. Aim: This work focused on establishing poly d, l-lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA)-based nanoparticles of amikacin with consolidated pharmaceutical attributes capable of circumventing gastrointestinal tract membrane barriers and promoting oral administration of the drug. The partied attributes are suggestive of enhanced uptake of the drug via Peyer’s patches overlaying small intestine and support successful oral delivery. Materials and Methods: To have a robust delivery system, a statistical Box–Behnken experimental design was used and formulation parameters such as homogenization time, probe sonication time, and drug/polymer ratio of amikacin-loaded PLGA nanoparticles (A-NPs) for obtaining monodispersed nanoparticles of adequate size and high drug loading were optimized. Results: The model suggested to use the optimum homogenization time, probe sonication time, and drug/polymer ratio as 30 s, 120 s, and 1:10, respectively. Under these formulation conditions, the particle size was found to be 260.3 nm and the drug loading was 3.645%. Conclusion: Biodegradable PLGA nanoparticulate systems with high payload, optimum size, and low polydispersity index will ensure successful uptake and ultimately leading to better bioavailability. Hence, under the aforementioned optimized conditions, the A-NPs prepared had particle size of 260.3 nm, which is appreciable for its permeability across small intestine, and drug loading of 3.645%.

Abstract
The current work focuses on the formulation development, optimization, and in vivo assessment of nano-sized silver sulfadiazine ( nSSD) and micron-sized silver sulfadiazine ( mSSD) topical gel composed of Aloe vera gel ( Aloe gel) and Carbopol 940 for the management of second-degree burn wound. The optimized concentration of gel-forming agent (Carbopol 940) was chosen based on best possible consistency and spreadability of the gel. The second-degree burn infliction was developed in the posterior region of rats followed by anesthesia. Afterward, the created wounds were further treated individually by both the gel formulation (1 application daily) for 14 days and observations were recorded. The nSSD gel showed better wound healing and a higher degree of tissue hyperplasia as compared with mSSD gel in rats. In vitro drug release study showed better drug release from nSSD gel (74.25 ± 3.331%) as compared with mSSD gel formulation (61.32 ± 2.112%) after 24 hours. The nSSD and mSSD topical gel-treated rats showed 95.63% and 78.75% wound healing after 14 days, while in the case of control group rats, 48.65% wound contraction was seen after 14 days. Furthermore, the histopathological study revealed that the nSSD gel was more efficient in controlling the wound infection and showed better wound healing as compared with mSSD gel formulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The CD44 receptor is a cell surface glycoprotein, which mediates many physiological and pathological activities. Its key role is to provide defence against inflammatory reactions by cellular transmigration and cell signalling. In pathological conditions, it gives destructive outcomes by mediating migration of pathogenic cells to vital organs resulting in tissue and organ damage. It binds to several ligands principally the hyaluronan. OBJECTIVE This review explores CD44 structure, functions, and its potential as a disease indicator and therapeutic target. METHOD From a thorough literature review on the CD44 receptor, several patents of targeting approaches have been identified and herewith reviewed which recommend CD44-binding proteins, CD44-binding antibodies, antibody fragments, pharmaceutical compositions, as well as nucleic acids as a targeting moiety. RESULT Applicability of CD44 overexpression and its targeting has now been extensively utilized in the disease diagnosis and real-time bio imaging of pathologic cells. CONCLUSION A thorough understanding of CD44-receptor structure, expression and diverse functions towards different cell types would offer an opportunity to develop better therapeutic approaches in the near future by overcoming all the shortcomings of toxicity and efficacy. The present review includes recent patents of CD44 receptor targeting approaches that have been presented in the different agencies: European (EP), US, and World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and a general analysis of the future developments and trends in this emerging area.

Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of intranasal pitavastatin (PVS) on pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures, increasing current electroshock (ICES) seizures, and status epilepticus in mice. Intranasal PVS, 0.5 and 1.0mg/kg, showed significant increase in latency to PTZ-induced seizures and ICES seizure threshold compared to control; however, the effects were dose-dependent and were more significant at higher dose. Further, intranasal PVS (1.0mg/kg) but not intravenous PVS (50.0mg/kg) showed effective protection against PTZ-induced status epilepticus. No impairment in cognitive functions was observed following intranasal PVS (1.0mg/kg), thus making it a prospective therapeutic approach for acute seizures and status epilepticus.

Abstract
Abstract
The objective of the present study was to develop and characterize nano-ethanolic liposomes (NEL) for transdermal delivery of ibuprofen (IBU). The NEL for transdermal delivery of IBU were prepared by thin film hydration technique and evaluated for vesicle size, shape, entrapment efficiency, transdermal flux, and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity in Wistar rats. The NEL optimized formulation (NEL-Opt) presented vesicle sizes of 32.85±1.98 nm and entrapment efficiency of 86.40±0.55% with improved transdermal flux. The presence of ethanol and flexibility of NEL could be the reasons for better permeation enhancement of IBU via rat’s skin. In vivo anti-inflammatory study of IBU-loaded NEL-Opt gel showed significant reduction (41.18%) of edema in carrageenan-induced rat paw edema as compared to conventional gel of IBU, where reduction of edema was found to be 12.50%. Our results suggest that developed NEL formulations are efficient systems for transdermal IBU delivery against inflammation. The stability study confirmed that the NEL-Opt gel formulation was considerably stable at refrigerator temperature. Our results concluded that NEL are an efficient carrier for transdermal delivery of IBU.

Abstract
Cellulose nanofiber (CNF) aerogels with favorable floatability and mucoadhesive properties prepared by the freeze-drying method have been introduced as new possible carriers for oral controlled drug delivery system. Bendamustine hydrochloride is considered as the model drug. Drug loading was carried out by the physical adsorption method, and optimization of drug-loaded formulation was done using central composite design. A very lightweight-aerogel-with-matrix system was produced with drug loading of 18.98%±1.57%. The produced aerogel was characterized for morphology, tensile strength, swelling tendency in media with different pH values, floating behavior, mucoadhesive detachment force and drug release profiles under different pH conditions. The results showed that the type of matrix was porous and woven with excellent mechanical properties. The drug release was assessed by dialysis, which was fitted with suitable mathematical models. Approximately 69.205%±2.5% of the drug was released in 24 hours in medium of pH 1.2, whereas ~78%±2.28% of drug was released in medium of pH 7.4, with floating behavior for ~7.5 hours. The results of in vivo study showed a 3.25-fold increase in bioavailability. Thus, we concluded that CNF aerogels offer a great possibility for a gastroretentive drug delivery system with improved bioavailability.

Abstract
The purpose of the present investigation was to study the aerosolization, lungs deposition and pharmacokinetic study of inhalable submicron particles of budesonide in male Wistar rats. Submicron particles were prepared by antisolvent nanoprecipitation method and freeze-dried to obtain free flowing powder. The freeze-drying process yielded dry powder with desirable aerodynamic properties for inhalation therapy. An in-house model inhaler was designed to deliver medicine to lungs, optimized at dose level of 10 mg for 30 sec of fluidization. The in vitro aerosolization study demonstrates that submicron particles dissolve faster with improved aerosolization effect as compared to micronized budesonide. Both submicron and micron particles were compared for in vivo lungs deposition. The results showed that relatively high quantity of submicron particles reaches deep into the lungs as compared to micron particles. Most pronounced effect observed with submicron particles from pharmacokinetic parameters was the enhancement in peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 28.85 %, and increase in area under concentration curve (AUC0-8h) by 30.33 % compared to micron sized particles. The results suggested that developed submicronized formulation of budesonide can be used for pulmonary drug delivery for high deposition to deep lungs tissues.

Abstract
Ketoconazole (KCZ) nanoemulgel containing permeation enhancer was formulated as a vehicle for transungual drug delivery, and its efficacy to inhibit the growth of onychomycotic dermatophytes was investigated in vitro. Different components of oil-in-water nanoemulsions were moderately agitated by classical titration method and passed through a high-pressure homogenizer to formulate various nanoemulsions, which were further identified by constructing pseudo-ternary phase diagrams. Stress-stability testing was carried out for the nanoemulsions, and those that passed these tests were characterized for mean droplet size, zeta potential, morphology, pH, refractive index, viscosity and transmittance. Mean droplet size and zeta potential of the optimized nanoemulsion (NE3) were found to be 77.52 ± 0.92 nm (polydispersity index (PDI) = 0.128 ± 0.035) and -5.44 ± 0.67 mV, respectively. Optimized nanoemulsion was converted into nanoemulgel (NEG1) with 1% (w/w) of gelling agent (Carbopol® Ultrez 21) and 1%-2% (v/v) thioglycolic acid as permeation enhancer, and evaluated for pH, viscosity, spreadability, extrudability, tensile strength and bio-adhesion measurement. In vitro cumulative drug released at the end of 24 h from NE3, NEG1 and drug suspension were found to be 98.87 ± 1.29, 84.42 ± 2.78% and 54.86 ± 2.19%, respectively. Ex vivo transungual permeation values for KCZ through goat hooves from NE3, NEG1 and drug suspension were found to be 62.49 ± 2.98, 77.54 ± 2.88% and 38.54 ± 2.54%, respectively, in 24 h. The antifungal effect of NEG1 on Trichophyton rubrum and Candida albicans showed a significant (p < 0.05) zone of inhibition as compared to drug solution. Skin irritation and histopathology studies on rat skin showed the safe topical use and enhanced permeation of formulated nanoemulgel.

Abstract
The current investigation aims to present a novel solid lipid-based nanoparticulate system of resveratrol (RV) for the effective treatment of liver cirrhosis. A simplified solvent injection method was employed and the Box-Behnken experimental design was applied for optimization to get a window particle size of 150-200 nm having maximum entrapment efficiency as well as % release. Optimized resveratrol solid lipid nanoparticles (RV-SLNs) (SR-1) of appropriate characteristics (particle size = 191.1 ± 10.44 nm; zeta potential= -13.56 ± 4.14 mV; entrapment efficiency = 75.23 ± 3.85%; maximum % release = 80.53 ± 3.99%) were produced. Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction studies were carried out which collectively proved the reduced crystallinity and stability enhancing the effect of the SLNs. Improved drug stability was further established by the appreciable shelf-life of the formulation from International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH)-recommended accelerated stability studies. In vivo studies revealed nearly five-fold increase in the bioavailability of SR-1 (AUC0→∞=3411 ± 170.34 µg/ml/h) as compared to RV suspension (AUC0→∞=653.5 ± 30.10 µg/ml/h). Pharmacodynamic data exhibited a significant decrease in the serum biomarker enzymes (serum glutamic oxalo-acetic transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) and alkaline phosphatase) after oral administration of RV-SLNs as compared to control and marketed (SILYBON(®)) formulations against paracetamol-induced liver cirrhosis. The effect of the treatment was confirmed by the histopathology of the liver microtome sections. Finally, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction studies were conducted on isolated liver mRNA from SR-1 treated animals and significant down-regulation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 and nuclear factor-kB was witnessed.

Abstract
Objective: The present study was used to design simple, accurate and sensitive reversed phase-high-performance liquid chromatography RP-HPLC and high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) methods for the development of quantification of khellin present in the seeds of Ammi visnaga. Materials and Methods: RP-HPLC analysis was performed on a C18 column with methanol: Water (75: 25, v/v) as a mobile phase. The HPTLC method involved densitometric evaluation of khellin after resolving it on silica gel plate using ethyl acetate: Toluene: Formic acid (5.5:4.0:0.5, v/v/v) as a mobile phase. Results: The developed HPLC and HPTLC methods were validated for precision (interday, intraday and intersystem), robustness and accuracy, limit of detection and limit of quantification. The relationship between the concentration of standard solutions and the peak response was linear in both HPLC and HPTLC methods with the concentration range of 10–80 μg/mL in HPLC and 25–1,000 ng/spot in HPTLC for khellin. The % relative standard deviation values for method precision was found to be 0.63–1.97%, 0.62–2.05% in HPLC and HPTLC for khellin respectively. Accuracy of the method was checked by recovery studies conducted at three different concentration levels and the average percentage recovery was found to be 100.53% in HPLC and 100.08% in HPTLC for khellin. Conclusions: The developed HPLC and HPTLC methods for the quantification of khellin were found simple, precise, specific, sensitive and accurate which can be used for routine analysis and quality control of A. visnaga and several formulations containing it as an ingredient.

Abstract
The present work is aimed to develop a simple, sensitive, robust and reliable HPLC method for the estimation of irinotecan in the physiological media in order to assess the permeability profile of irinotecan, using the everted gut sac, in the presence of various P-gp modulators. Separation was achieved using, C18 column with mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.045 µM sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate buffer containing ion pair agent heptane sulphonic acid sodium salt (0.0054 µM), pH 3. The flow rate was maintained at 1 ml/min and analysis was performed at 254.9 nm using PDA detector. Calibration data showed an excellent linear relationship between peak-area verses drug concentration (r2, 0.9999). Linearity was found to be in the range of 0.060-10.0 µg/ml. Limits of detection and quantification were found to ~0.020 µg/ml and ~0.060 µg/ml, respectively. The developed method was found to be precise (RSD < 1.5%, for repeatability and <2.55% for intermediate precision, acceptable ranges of precision), accurate (The recovered content of irinotecan in the presence of various P-gp modulators varied from 96.11-101.51%, within acceptable range, 80-120%), specific and robust (% RSD < 2). Developed method has been applied successfully for the evaluation of eleven P-gp modulators from diverse chemical class.

Abstract
A simple, rapid, reliable, robust and optimized reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for simultaneous estimation of doxycycline hyclate and curcumin was successfully developed and validated as per International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The objective was achieved in terms of well separated peaks within 10 min on a Waters Sunfire C8 column with dimensions of 250×4.6 mm, particle size 5.0 μm using mobile phase consisting of 30 volumes of potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (50 mM) adjusted to pH 6.5±0.1 with triethylamine and 70 volumes of methanol at flow rate of 0.85 ml/min. The column effluents were monitored at 400 nm maintained at ambient column temperature (28o). The developed method was found linear over the concentration range of 200-700 μg/ml for doxycycline hyclate and 8-28 μg/ml for curcumin, the detection and quantitation limit was found to be 26.063 and 78.97 μg/ml for doxycycline hyclate; 0.795 and 2.13 μg/ml for curcumin, respectively. The developed method was optimized using Minitab software version 16 to meet the current quality by design requirements. The method validation was done for linearity, range, detection and quantitation limit, accuracy, precision, specificity, system suitability testing, and robustness.

Abstract
Poor drug penetration and rapid clearance after topical instillation of a drug formulation into the eyes are the major causes for the lower ocular bioavailability from conventional eye drops. Along with this, poor encapsulation efficiency of hydrophilic drug in polymeric nanoparticles remains a major formulation challenge. Taking this perspective into consideration, dorzolamide (DZ)-loaded PLGA nanoparticles were developed employing two different emulsifiers (PVA and vitamin E TPGS) and the effects of various formulation and process variables on particle size and encapsulation efficiency were assessed. Nanoparticles emulsified with vitamin E TPGS (DZ-T-NPs) were found to possess enhanced drug encapsulation (59.8±6.1%) as compared to those developed with PVA as emulsifier (DZ-P-NPs). Transcorneal permeation study revealed a significant enhancement in permeation (1.8-2.5 fold) as compared to solution. In addition, ex vivo biodistribution study showed a higher concentration of drug in the aqueous humour (1.5-2.3 fold). Histological and IR-camera studies proved the non-irritant potential of the formulations. Pharmacoscintigraphic studies revealed the reduced corneal clearance, as well as naso-lachrymal drainage in comparison to drug solution. Furthermore, efficacy study revealed that DZ-P-NPs and DZ-T-NPs significantly reduced the intraocular pressure by 22.81% and 29.12%, respectively, after a single topical instillation into the eye.
