Abstract
BACKGROUND The emulgel, a novel drug delivery system, merges emulsion and gel, offering advantages like enhanced stability, precise control over drug release kinetics, and increased drug absorption compared to emulsions alone. Kojic acid (KA) demonstrates potent inhibition of the tyrosinase enzyme, a crucial player in the melanin synthesis pathway. AIMS The main objective of this experimental study is to formulate KA within an emulgel framework and assess its stability under various environmental conditions. METHODS One percent of KA emulgel and 1% simple gel, serving as the control product, were supplemented with varying concentrations of sodium metabisulfite (SMBS) for its antioxidant properties. The formulations were segregated into four groups and subjected to diverse maintenance and stress conditions over a three-month period. Monthly evaluations of physicochemical alterations were conducted, initially employing digital photography, followed by the extraction of KA and subsequent quantification of its concentration through high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). RESULTS The best formulations for retaining KA among the prepared ones were the 0.25% SMBS KA emulgel and the 0.1% SMBS KA simple gel, capable of retaining 86% and 76% of the initial KA content under stress conditions, respectively (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Regarding to this study, ideal storage condition for KA emulgel and simple gel is in the refrigerator temperatures. Moreover, optimal SMBS concentrations for stability enhancement are 0.25% for emulgel and 0.1% for the simple gel. A significant statistical difference was observed between refrigerated emulgel and simple gel in the retention of KA in the presence of optimum concentration of antioxidants (p < 0.0001).

Abstract
In this study, we developed a spectrophotometry method for the analysis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfuraldehyde (HMF) in pharmaceutical formulations using citrate@Fe3O4 adsorbent. As bare magnetite (Fe3O4) has certain limitations, such as aggregation and oxidation, surface modifications are commonly used to improve its properties. We successfully coated Fe3O4 with sodium citrate to create a magnetic adsorbent for isolating HMF from samples. We confirmed the successful surface coating of Fe3O4 with citrate using Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Zeta potential, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The high adsorption capacity of citrate@Fe3O4 is due to the abundance of carboxyl and hydroxyl groups on the surface of the adsorbent, making it ideal for HMF extraction. The HMF concentration was then quantified using spectrophotometry. Citrate@Fe3O4 exhibited a high surface area and strong interaction with HMF. We analyzed the individual influential factors affecting the magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) setup. Validation parameters were also provided to confirm the reliability of the method. Under optimal parameters, the method exhibited excellent linearity in the range of 0.05-30.00 μg/ml with the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 0.05 μg/ml. Relative standard deviations (RSD) values for precision were better than 10% and the method's trueness were better than 10%. Recoveries were found to be in the range of 85% to 106%, indicating excellent accuracy and reliability. We used this method to identify and measure HMF in six different dextrose pharmaceutical dosage forms as intravenous injectable solutions and three honey samples.

Abstract
This work presents a preparation of new magnetic nanoparticles coated with amorphous carbon and their application in dispersive solid-phase extraction in simultaneous extraction of sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from eyeliner. The extraction procedure was hyphenated with a lower density than water dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) for further preconcentration of the analytes to sensitive determination of them with gas chromatography-flame ionization detection. The magnetic adsorbent was prepared sonically from iron pentacarbonyl and then the nanoparticles were coated by N, S-doped amorphous carbon and the deep eutectic solvent prepared from tetrabutyl ammonium chloride and decanoic acid. The magnetic properties of the nanoparticles were studied by vibrating sample magnetometer. Also, scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate the nanoparticles morphology. The extraction procedure was done by migration of the analytes from eyeliner into a proper aqueous solution and their adsorption onto the nanoparticles. Then, the analytes were eluted and more concentrated by the DLLME approach. After validating the method, acceptable limit of detection and broad linear range were accessed in the ranges of 0.25-0.54 and 1.8-250 ng/g, respectively. Relative standard deviation values were ≤ 7.1% for the repeated analyses in the same day (n = 6) and different days (n = 6). Extraction recovery of the method was in the range of 79-96%. The introduced method was successfully used for the analysis of the PAHs in five eyeliner samples and only two of them were identified in all samples at ng/g level.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In recent years, argan oil has gained increasing interest in hair care products. In this study, attenuated total reflectance technique was utilized as a fast method and the results were compared to protein loss measurements in order to show the preventive effect of argan oil pre-treatment on excised human hair after oxidative hair damage. METHODS Hair tresses were divided into three groups: in group-1; they were damaged using oxidant agent solely, in group-2 and 3; hair were pre-treated with argan oil before undergoing the oxidative damage. In group-2, the oil was removed by physical cleaning but in group-3 the oil was removed with a washing procedure. ATR (attenuated total reflectance) spectrum was recorded for different samples. Quantitative studies of protein loss in hair samples were performed by Lowry method. The antioxidant properties of argan oil were also measured in vitro using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) protocol, which determined the ability of the oil to scavenge the DPPH free radicals. RESULTS The amount of protein loss with oil pre-treated groups was reduced significantly. The ATR spectrum showed oil deposition on hair even after washing. Four distinctive ATR peaks were changed during oxidation. The changes in peak height values were linear. The antioxidant property measured with DPPH method led to a IC50 value of 59 µg/ml. CONCLUSION Argan oil pre-treatment was effective in protecting hair against oxidative damage. ATR outcomes were in accordance with protein loss results. In this study, the ATR testing method as a fast technique was used efficiently in quantification of hair damage.

Abstract
Sodium valproate, the most common solid form of valproic acid, is highly hygroscopic and carbamazepine has extremely low aqueous solubility. Producing a salt form of valproic acid with tromethamine and a cocrystal form of valproic acid with carbamazepine have been studied as two approaches to improve physicochemical properties of the intended drugs. Characterization methods including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) are applied to characterize the synthesized salt and cocrystal. The stability of sodium valproate and tromethamine valproate were examined in 33, 53. 75 and 100 percent of relative humidity. The dissolution profile studies were performed in phosphate buffer media (pH =6.8) for carbamazepine (a low soluble drug) and carbamazepine-valprocic acid cocrystal. Tromethamine valproate was more physically stable than sodium valproate in exposure to humidity. Carbamazepine-valproic acid cocrystal did not show an extreme improvement in dissolution profile when compared to carbamazepine, however after 24 hours carbamazepine-valproic acid cocrystal was more soluble than carbamazepine. Valproic acid forms a new salt with tromethamine and it forms a cocrystal with carbamazepine which can effect on physicochemical properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cocoa butter, an expensive product containing a specific triacylglycerol composition, is often the object of economic adulteration. OBJECTIVE The present study investigates the detection and quantification of cocoa butter substitutes using differential scanning calorimetry. METHODS Cocoa butter substitute was mixed with cocoa butter (from 0 to 100%) as standard samples and analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry and gas chromatography to evaluate the thermal characteristics and fatty acid composition respectively. RESULTS Increasing the ratio of cocoa butter substitute/cocoa butter changed the thermal parameters and fatty acids profile significantly. For quantification of cocoa butter substitute in commercial samples, medium melting fraction temperature (TMMF via r2= 0.922) and melting enthalpy (ΔHf via r2= 0.972) were successfully used to quantify the value of cocoa butter substitute in the samples suspected to fraud. According to the results all of the thermal parameters were increased significantly (p < 0.05) with increasing the ratio of CBS/CB. It can be attributed to the presence of saturated fatty acids (C12-C22) in CBS which increases TLMF. CONCLUSION The promising results of the present study could be used as a tool for the fast identification of adulteration and quantification of cocoa butter substitute in the chocolate compositions. HIGHLIGHTS Differential scanning calorimetry methods has been developed for identification of cocoa butter adulteration. Cocoa butter substitute adulteration detection in cocoa butter and also commercial chocolate samples were identified.

Abstract
Background: Flutamide is a non-steroidal anti-androgenic agent which is not only used in treating prostate cancer but also can be effective in some disorders such as androgenic alopecia and male pattern baldness. Several serious side effects for systemic administration of flutamide can be overcome by emulgel dosage form. Absorption enhancers can promote permeation of flutamide through skin. Percutaneous absorption of Flutamide emulgels with different concentrations of Transcutol P and Precirol ATO5 was studied. Methods: Various emulgel formulations using different concentration of Transcutol P and Precirol ATO5 with 0.5 to 5 % w/w were prepared. Percutaneous absorption was tested with standard Franz Diffusion Cell equipment using full thickness rat skin. Drug concentrations in the samples were analyzed by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) equipped with UV-Vis detector at 305 nm. Results: The percutaneous absorption of flutamide emulgels formulated with enhancers was higher than control formulations. Enhancement ratio increased from 1.218 to 3.670 and 1.346 to3.900 for Precirol ATO5 and Transcutol P, respectively. Area under the Curve (AUC) increased by increase the enhancers’ concentration and a significant upsurge was seen in the concentration 1% for both enhancers. Conclusion: The flutamide emulgel containing 1% Transcutol P showed more appropriate percutaneous absorption through the skin compared to others.

Abstract
Purpose: Kojic acid a natural metabolite (KA) and its dipalmitate ester, kojic acid dipalmitate (Kadp) are both prescribed to treat skin hyperpigmentation. Stress test reveals the intrinsic stability of active ingredients and leads to selection of the suitable formulations. This research evaluates the comparative stability of KA and its di-palmitate ester under liquid oxidative stress. Methods: The HPLC-UV/PDA method with a C18 column was utilized. Liquid oxidative stress was induced using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Degradation was separately induced for each drug, and they were compared to each other. Results: Kadp degraded more rapidly in similar liquid oxidative stress conditions than KA did. The superior degradation model was the first order for both drugs based on the MPE values, indicating the dependency of the reaction rate on the initial concentration of the reactive substance. Ring opening was proposed as the most possible theory for KA and Kadp oxidative degradation. Conclusion: It is suggested to use KA instead of Kadp in less stable formulations, such as extemporaneous preparations. The incorporation of antioxidant excipients in Kadp formulations is recommended for yielding better stability results. Formulating Kadp in the internal phase of o/w emulsion formulations may protect this susceptive molecule from oxidative degradation during the shelf life of the pharmaceutical preparation. Further studies are required to study the exact mechanism of the degradation process.

Abstract
Background: Excipients are used in the formulation of pharmaceutical dosage forms, but mayinteract with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Some of these interactions could alterthe physicochemical properties of the APIs which can affect the therapeutic efficacy and safety.Acarbose is an anti-diabetic drug used in this study as an API to investigate its compatibility withcommon excipients in order to development of pharmaceutical controlled release formulations. Methods: For this purpose, 15 different excipients were selected. Binary mixtures of drug witheach of the excipients (1:1 mass ratio) were prepared. Mixtures were analyzed immediately aftermixing and also after incubation at stress conditions (adding 20% water and incubated at 40°Cfor 2 months). The thermal analytical investigation like differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) were employed for physicochemical evaluations of the possible incompatibility.Photodiode-array (PDA) and mass studies were performed to ensure the peak purity of theHPLC peaks of API in stressed samples. Results: Incompatible excipients with acarbose were determined as EC (ethyl cellulose),Carbopol 934, Hydroxypropyl cellulose, PEG2000 (Polyethylene Glycol 2000), Mg Stearate, NaAlginate and Poloxamer. Conclusion: Results of this study would be used for the development of controlled releaseformulation of acarbose. It is recommended to avoid the use of incompatible excipients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Antioxidant containing cosmeceuticals are commonly prescribed products in treating wrinkles and revitalizing the skin. The aim of this study was the comparative evaluation of physicochemical stability and clinical anti-wrinkle efficacy of transdermal emulgel preparations of sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP) and ascorbic acid (AA) on human volunteers. METHODS Emulgel preparations containing 5% of (SAP) and or (AA) were prepared. HPLC analysis was performed for stability evaluations. Clinical anti-wrinkle efficacy of the formulations was examined on human healthy volunteers in crow's feet area. Elasticity and digital images were recorded before and after treatment. RESULTS Formulations with added antioxidants and kept in the refrigerator exhibited better stability characteristics. Two-sided blind study and placebo-controlled study showed that both actives were effective in wrinkles depth reduction and also elasticity enhancement but statistically significant difference in the efficacy of the products was not observed. CONCLUSION Formulations containing (AA) and or (SAP) both improved elasticity and wrinkles of the skin almost by the same extent, and it is necessary to add antioxidant stabilizing agents to both preparations to reach a desired stability.

Abstract
Purpose: Evaluation of drug-excipients compatibility is an important stage during preformulation studies. In the present research, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at different heating rates (2.5, 10, 15°C/min) was applied for the kinetic evaluation of fluvoxamine (FLM), sertraline (SER) and doxepin (DOX) binary mixtures with lactose. Methods: Solid state kinetic parameters of the mixtures were calculated using two different thermal methods including ASTM E698 and Starink and the effect of amine type (pKa value) was investigated based on the calculated activation energies. Results: Based on obtained results mean activation energy calculated for FLM, SER and DOX with lactose using ASTM E698 and Starink methods are equal to 335.23, 132.02 and 270.99 kJ/ mol respectively. Conclusion: Results showed that the probability of drug-lactose interaction is higher in the SERlactose mixture in comparison with other two antidepressant drugs which is consistent with their pKa values.

Abstract
Purpose: Assessment of drug substance and excipients compatibility is an important issue during pre-formulation studies as well as the quality control of pharmaceutical dosage forms. In this study, potential incompatibility between methyldopa and reducing excipients was evaluated using physicochemical methods. Methods: Dextrose and lactose (anhydrous & monohydrate) were selected as reducing carbohydrates. The initial incompatibility was studied with DSC and FTIR on binary mixtures with 1:1 mass ratio. Results were confirmed using HPLC studies coupled with mass spectrometry. Results: The DSC curves indicated the elimination of the melting endotherm of methyldopa in the binary mixtures. A new peak at 1719 cm-1 was observed in the FTIR spectra that can be attributed to the loss of type one amine functionality. The m/z of the proposed compound was observed in the mass spectra. Conclusion: The potential incompatibility of Methyldopa with reducing carbohydrates was established using physicochemical methods.

Abstract
In the present study the physicochemical stability of sertraline with lactose was evaluated in drug-excipient binary mixtures. Different physicochemical methods such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry were applied to confirm the incompatibility. The final aim of this study was to evaluate the kinetic parameters using a fast and sensitive DSC method. Solid-state kinetic parameters were derived from nonisothermally stressed physical mixtures using different thermal models such as Friedman, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose. Overall, the instability of sertraline with lactose was successfully evaluated. Further confirmation was made by tracking the Maillard reaction product of sertraline and lactose by mass spectrometry. DSC scans provided important information about the stability of sertraline in solid-state condition and also revealed the related thermokinetic parameters in order to understand the nature of the chemical instability.

Abstract
In this study the stability of parenteral acyclovir (ACV) when diluted in dextrose (DEX) as large volume intravenous fluid preparation (LVIF) was evaluated and the possible Maillard reaction adducts were monitored in the recommended infusion time. Different physicochemical methods were used to evaluate the Maillard reaction of dextrose with ACV to track the reaction in real infusion condition. Other large volume intravenous fluids were checked regarding the diluted drug stability profile. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and mass data proved the reaction of glucose with dextrose. A Maillard-specific high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was used to track the reaction in real infusion condition in vitro. The nucleophilic reaction occurred in diluted parenteral preparations of acyclovir in 5% dextrose solutions. The best diluent solution was also selected as sodium chloride and introduced based on drug stability and also its adsorption onto different infusion sets (PVC or non PVC) to provide an acceptable administration protocol in clinical practices. Although, the Maillard reaction was proved and successfully tracked in diluted solutions, and the level of drug loss when diluted in dextrose was reported to be between 0.27 up to 1.03% of the initial content. There was no drug adsorption to common infusion sets. The best diluent for parenteral acyclovir is sodium chloride large volume intravenous fluid.

Abstract
This study involved the preparation and evaluation of buccal-mucoadhesive microparticles/discs of bethamethasone disodium phosphate (BDSP). The microparticles were prepared using the emulsion solvent diffusion method. Microparticles were prepared and characterized by encapsulation efficiency particle size, Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) spectrums, Differential Scanning Calorimetric (DSC) thermograms and mucoadhesive properties. FTIR studies reported that BDSP was changed to bethamethasone base molecule inside the intact microparticles. The best drug to polymers ratio in microparticles was F1 containing 50 mg drug, 50 mg HPMC (as non-ionic and hydrophilic polymer) and 50 mg carbomer 934p (an anionic mucoadhesive polymer). The production yield of F1 microparticles was calculated as 78.60% with loading efficiency of about 65.14% and the mean particle size was also measured as 281.84 μm. It was proposed that during the microparticle preparation procedure, water soluble salt of the drug may be converted to the base which could be more effective in the buccal mucosa due to its higher partition coefficient and lipophilicity. The highest and lowest releases resulted from the discs prepared from F1 and F4, respectively, compared with the commercial tablet and untreated drug powder (p < 0.05). The data revealed that the discs exhibited good percentage of mucoadhesion (F1, 326 g/cm2). It may be concluded that drug loaded buccal-mucoadhesive microparticles are a suitable delivery system for BDSP, and may be used in the effective management of lichen planus.

Abstract
One of the most significant issues in pharmaceutical industries, prior to commercialization of a pharmaceutical preparation is the "preformulation" stage. However, far too attention has been paid to verification of the software assisted statistical designs in preformulation studies. The main aim of this study was to report a step by step preformulation approach for a semisolid preparation based on a statistical mixture design and to verify the predictions made by the software with an in-vitro efficacy bioassay test. Extreme vertices mixture design (4 factors, 4 levels) was applied for preformulation of a semisolid Povidone Iodine preparation as Water removable ointment using different PolyEthylenGlycoles. Software Assisted (Minitab) analysis was then performed using four practically assessed response values including; Available iodine, viscosity (N index and yield value) and water absorption capacity. Subsequently mixture analysis was performed and finally, an optimized formulation was proposed. The efficacy of this formulation was bio-assayed using microbial tests in-vitro and MIC values were calculated for Escherichia coli, pseudomonaaeruginosa, staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. Results indicated the acceptable conformity of the measured responses. Thus, it can be concluded that the proposed design had an adequate power to predict the responses in practice. Stability studies, proved no significant change during the one year study for the optimized formulation. Efficacy was eligible on all tested species and in the case of staphylococcus aureus; the prepared semisolid formulation was even more effective.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this research the effect of vitamin B1 and B6 on cyanocobalamin stability in commercial light protected parenteral formulations and upon adding stabilizing agents will be investigated and best formulation composition and proper storage condition will be introduced. METHODS In this research some additives such as co solvents and tonicity adjusters, surfactants, antioxidants and chelating agents as well as buffer solutions, were used to improve the stability of the parenteral mixed formulations of B12 in the presence of other B vitamins (B1 and B6). Screening tests and accelerated stability tests were performed according to ICH guidelines Q1A (R2). RESULTS Shelf life evaluation revealed the best formulation and the proper storage condition. The results indicated the first kinetic models for all tested formulations and the optimum pH value was determined to be 5.8. There was no evidence of B12 loss when mixed with B1 and B6 in a medical syringe at room temperature for maximum of 8 hours. CONCLUSION It is necessary to formulate vitamin B12 mixed parenteral solutions using proper phosphate buffers (pH=5.8) and to indicate "Store in refrigerator" on the mixed parenteral formulations of vitamin B12 with other B vitamins, which has not been expressed on the label of tested Brand formulations at the time of this study.

Abstract
Response surface methodology is defined as a collection of mathematical and statistical methods that are used to develop, improve, or optimize a product or process. In the present study, a statistical design (Mixture Design) was employed for formulation and optimization of a sustained-release hydrophilic divalproex sodium matrix tablet. Different excipients were used to improve the drug's poor flowability. The hardness of the prepared tablets and also their release pattern were tested. The formulation design was carried out employing mixture design using four excipients in three levels. The Carr's index of formulations and tensile strength were determined and analyzed using Minitab software. The suitable formulations regarding flowability and tablet tensile strength were selected by this software for subsequent drug release studies. The dissolution tests were carried out in acidic and basic phases which were previously proved to be biomimetic. Samples were analyzed using HPLC, and release data were compared to Depakine® (sustained-release divalproex from Sanofi). Release kinetics was also determined for selected formulations. Selected formulations were subjected to dissolution test and showed similar dissolution profiles with Depakine® based on difference and similarity factor calculations. The software selected an optimized formulation which had a slightly different release pattern in vitro compared to innovator but of nearly zero-order kinetics. It can be concluded that application of Mixture Design is a shortcut method to design suitable formulations of sustained-release divalproex sodium containing hydrophilic matrix tablets by direct compression method.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine any possible, baclofen-lactose Maillard reaction products. Granules and tablets of baclofen and lactose were prepared and maintained in heat ovens for a certain time period. The effects of lactose type, addition of magnesium stearate, and water were monitored. Heated lactose and baclofen were analyzed using reverse-phase HPLC. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy revealed nominal mass values consistent with baclofen-lactose, early-stage Maillard reaction condensation products (ESMRP). Multiple reaction monitoring confirmed the presence of ESMRP as well. FTIR analysis proved the formation of imine bond. The results indicated that baclofen undergoes a Maillard-type reaction with lactose.

Abstract
The present study was performed to design oral controlled delivery systems for the water-soluble drug, verapamil hydrochloride, using natural and semisynthetic polymers as carriers in the forms of 1- and 3-layer matrix tablets. Verapamil hydrochloride 1-layer matrix tablets containing hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, tragacanth, and acacia either alone or mixed were prepared by direct compression technique. 3-layer matrix tablets were prepared by compressing the polymers as release retardant layers on both sides of the core containing the drug. The prepared tablets were subjected to in vitro drug release studies. Tragacanth when used as the carrier in the formulation of 1- and 3-layer matrices produced satisfactory release prolongation either alone or in combination with the other 2 polymers. On the other hand, acacia did not show enough prolonging efficiency in 1- and 3-layer matrix tablets. The results also showed that the location of the polymers in the 3-layer tablets has a pronounced effect on the drug release. Kinetic analysis of drug release from matrices exhibiting sustained release indicated that release was predominantly attributable to the contribution made by Fickian diffusion, while the erosion/relaxation mechanisms had a minor role in the release.
