Abstract
In this work, a sensitive colorimetric bioassay method based on a poly(adenine) aptamer (polyA apt) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was developed for the determination of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). The polyA apt, adsorbed on the AuNPs, especially can bind to the analyte while deterring non-specific interactions. This nano aptasensor uses cationic polymer poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA), as an aggregating agent, to aggregate gold nanoparticles. PolyA apt-decorated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs/polyA apt) show resistance to PDDA-induced aggregation and maintains their dispersed state (red color) with the optical absorbance signal at λ = 520 nm. However, in the presence of AFB1 in the assay solution, the specific aptamer reacts with high affinity and folds into its three-dimensional form. Aggregation of AuNPs induced by PDDA caused their optical signal shift to λ = 620 nm (blue color). AFB1 concentration in the bioassay solution determines the amount of optical signal shift. Therefore, optical density ratio in two wavelengths (A620/520) can be used as a sturdy colorimetric signal to detect the concentration of aflatoxin B1. AFB1 was linearly detected between 0.5 and 20 ng mL-1, with a detection limit of 0.09 ng mL-1 (S/N = 3). The fabricated aptasensor was applied to the detection of AFB1 in real corn samples.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND AIM Numerous clinical trials indicated combination regimens containing gemcitabine could extend progression-free survival of breast cancer patients without increasing the incidence of serious adverse effects. Orally administered gemcitabine is being metabolized by enzymes present in intestinal cells rapidly; thereupon, the current study was aimed to preparing, optimizing, and evaluating cytotoxicity of wheat germ agglutinin conjugated gemcitabine-chitosan nanoparticles (WGA-Gem-CNPs) in MCF-7 and HEK293 cells and to determining their cellular uptake by Caco-2 cells. METHODS Gem-CNPs were prepared by Ionic Gelation method and optimum formulation was implied for WGA conjugation optimisation. Nanoparticles formation was approved by FTIR and DSC analyses; then particles were characterized by DLS and release profile was prepared. MTT assay was performed in MCF-7 and HEK293. RESULTS Optimized Gem-CNPs and WGA-Gem-CNPs particle size were estimated as 126.6 ± 21.8 and 144.8 ± 36.1 nm, respectively. WGA conjugation efficacy was calculated as 50.98 ± 2.32 percent and encapsulation efficiency in WGA-Gem-CNPs was 69.44 ± 3.41 percent. Three-hour Caco-2 cellular uptake from Gem-CNPs and WGA-Gem-CNPs were estimated as averagely 3.5 and 4.5 folds higher than free drug, respectively. Gem-CNPs and WGA-Gem-CNPs reduced IC50 in MCF-7 cells by 2 and 2.5 folds, respectively; such decrease for HEK293 cells was as much as 2.4 and 6.3 folds, in same order. CONCLUSION Demonstrated significant in vitro uptake of WGA-Gem-CNPs and cytotoxicity might be considered for more studies as a potential carrier for oral delivery of gemcitabine.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was preparation of a self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEEDS) containing metformin hydrochloride. METHODS Hydrophobic ion paired complexes were prepared by electrostatic interaction between metformin and sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS). The nanodroplets were optimised using two-level full factorial methodology and their morphology were examined. In vitro release of metformin from SEDDS was evaluated in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids. Finally, the ex-vivo efficacy of the optimised formulation in enhancing the intestinal permeability of metformin was evaluated using non-everted intestinal sac. RESULTS The data revealed that in weight ratio 1:4(metformin: SLS), the highest recovery was achieved. The physico-chemical properties of the optimised nano-droplets including size, polydispersity index (PdI), zeta potential, and loading efficiency (%) were 192.33 ± 9.9 nm, 0.275 ± 0.051; -1.52 mV, and 93.75 ± 0.77% (w/w), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The data obtained from the intestinal transport study demonstrated that SEDDS can significantly enhance the oral permeability of the compound.

Abstract
In this study, a novel colorimetric bioassay method was developed for the sensitive determination of tobramycin (TOB). To detect TOB, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were decorated with TOB-specific aptamers (apt), and positively charged poly diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (PDDA) was used. As long as tobramycin is not present in the assay system, PDDA can coalesce with the aptamer, and AgNPs would remain stable (λmax = 400 nm) in the dispersed system against PDDA-induced aggregation. When TOB is added, aptamer can bind to the compound, which leads to release of PDDA and subsequent aggregation of AgNPs (λmax = 540 nm). This remarkable change, as a colorimetric analytics signal, can be used for quantitative analysis of TOB. TOB can be detected by this highly sensitive colorimetric aptasensor with a limit of detection (LOD) of 70 pM. Furthermore, TOB can be detected with the naked eye at concentrations above 1 nM.

Abstract
Epirubicin (EPI) is one of the potent breast cancer (BC) chemotherapeutic agents, but its adverse effects limit its efficacy. Herein, EPI was selected to be loaded in liposomal carrier, which has been targeted by a monoclonal antibody, Herceptin. The preparation process of liposomes was a modified ethanol injection method followed by Herceptin conjugation. The in vitro cell toxicity and cellular uptake of optimum formulation against HER2+ and HER2− cancer cell lines were evaluated. The results showed that the drug loading (DL%) and encapsulation efficiency (EE%) of liposome preparation method yielded 30.62% ± 0.49% and 62.39% ± 8.75%, respectively. The average size of naked liposomes (EPI‐Lipo) and immunoliposomes (EPI‐Lipo‐mAb) was 234 ± 9.86 and 257.26 ± 6.25 nm, with a relatively monodisperse distribution, which was confirmed by SEM micrographs. The release kinetic followed Higuchi model for both naked and immunoliposomes. In vitro cytotoxicity study on three different BC cell lines including BT‐20, MDA‐MB‐453 and MCF‐7 demonstrated higher toxicity of EPI in the Herceptin conjugated form (EPI‐Lipo‐mAb) in comparison with the free EPI and EPI‐Lipo in HER2 overexpressing cell line. In addition, the cellular uptake study showed a higher uptake of immunoliposomes by MCF‐7 cells in comparison with naked liposomes. In conclusion, these data show that the targeted delivery of EPI to breast cancer cells can be achieved by EPI‐Lipo‐mAb in vitro, and this strategy could be used for breast cancer therapy with further studies.

Abstract
The purpose of the current study was to prepare and characterize the targeted solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) containing docetaxel (DTX) for prostate cancer treatment. The goal has been achieved by locating anisamide (Anis) ligand on the surface of SLNs, which can interact with the overexpressed sigma receptor on the prostate cancer cells. DTX loaded SLNs were prepared by high shear homogenization and ultra-sonication method and optimized by applying experimental design. The average particle size and the entrapment efficiency of the optimum DTX-SLN were 174 ± 9.1 nm and 83 ± 3.34%, respectively. The results of differential scanning calorimetry showed that DTX had been dispersed as amorphous in the nanocarriers. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images confirmed the nanoscale size and spherical shape of the nanoparticles. The cytotoxicity studies have demonstrated that IC50 of free drug, DTX-SLN and DTX-SLN-Anis was 0.25 ± 0.01, 0.23 ± 0.02, 0.12 ± 0.01 nM on PC3 cell line and 20.9 ± 3.89, 18.74 ± 7.43, and 14.68 ± 5.70 nM on HEK293 cell line, respectively. Targeted DTX-SLN-Anis was acted more effectively on prostate cancer cells in comparison to DTX-SLN and free drug. The results of this study have depicted that the anti-cancer drug loaded in targeted SLNs can be a promising way for cancer treatment. In addition, performing in-vivo studies will be complementary to these findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The main scope of the present investigation was to improve the bioavailability of perphenazine (PPZ) by incorporating it into the nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs). SIGNIFICANCE As a result of lipophilic nature and poor aqueous solubility, as well as extensive hepatic metabolism, PPZ has low systemic bioavailability via the oral route. NLCs have shown potentials to surmount the oral delivery drawbacks of poorly water-soluble drugs. METHODS The PPZ-NLCs were prepared by the emulsification-solvent evaporation method and subjected for particle size, zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency (EE) analysis. The optimized NLCs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD). Besides, in vitro release behavior, storage stability, and pharmacokinetic studies followed by a single-dose oral administration in rats were performed. RESULTS Optimized PPZ-NLCs showed a particle size of less than 180 nm with appropriate EE of more than 95%. Microscopic images captured with SEM and TEM exhibited that NLCs were approximately spherical in shape. DSC and PXRD analysis confirmed reduced crystallinity of PPZ after incorporation in NLCs. FTIR spectra demonstrated no chemical interactions between PPZ and NLC components. In vitro release studies confirmed the extended-release properties of NLC formulations. PPZ-NLCs exhibited good stability at 4 °C within three months. The oral bioavailability of NLC-6 and NLC-12 was enhanced about 3.12- and 2.49-fold, respectively, compared to the plain drug suspension. CONCLUSION NLC can be designated as an effective nanocarrier for oral delivery of PPZ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perphenazine (PPZ) is a typical antipsychotic that is mainly administrated for the treatment of schizophrenia. Due to its highly lipophilic nature and extensive hepatic first-pass metabolism, its oral bioavailability is low (40%). OBJECTIVE The novel nanocarriers like solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) have been reported to be highly effective for improving the therapeutic effect of drugs. Therefore the main scope of the present investigation was the evaluation of in vivo characteristics of PPZ-SLN in terms of pharmacokinetic parameters and brain distribution. METHODS The PPZ-SLN was prepared by the solvent-emulsification and evaporation method. The storage stability of PPZ-SLN and empty SLN powders was studied for 3 months. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies and brain distribution evaluations were performed following a single oral dose administration of PPZ and PPZ-SLN suspensions on male Wistar rats. An HPLC method was established and validated for the quantitative determination of PPZ in plasma and brain samples. RESULTS The storage stability studies revealed the good storage stability of the both PPZ-SLN and empty SLN at 4 °C. Compared to PPZ suspension, the relative bioavailability and the brain distribution of PPZ-SLN were increased up to 2-fold and 16-fold, respectively. Mean residence time (MRT) and half-life (t1/2) of PPZ-SLN were significantly (p value < 0.01) increased in both plasma and brain homogenate compared to PPZ suspension. CONCLUSION The significant improvement in the pharmacokinetic properties of PPZ following one oral dose indicates that SLN is a promising drug delivery system for PPZ and shows a high potential for successful brain delivery of this antipsychotic.

Abstract
Beta-lactoglobulin (β-LG) is a lipocalin family member whose general function appears to be solubilizing and transport of hydrophobic molecules. Some properties such as avalability, ease of purification, and peculiar resistance to acidic environments can make β-LG as a carrier for hydrophobic and acid labile drugs for oral administration. In this protein vehicle, drug could be protected in acidic environment of stomach and then released within the basic small intestine. In this study, the potential of β-LG as a nanocarrier for oral delivery of a potent agent in colorectal cancer treatment, irinotecan, was evaluated. The nanoparticle was prepared by the physical inclusion complex method. Size, drug loading, encapsulation efficiency, and in vitro drug release at various pH values were investigated. The optimum formulation showed a narrow size distribution with an average diameter of 139.86 ± 13.75 nm and drug loading about 84.33 ± 5.03%. Based on the results obtained from docking simulation of irinotecan-complex, there are two distinct binding sites in this nanocarrier. Cytotoxicity of this nanocarrier on the HT-29 cancer cell line and AGS was measured by MTT assay. The cytotoxicity experiment showed that the drug-loaded nanocarrier was more effective than free drug. The higher release percent of drug from the β-LG complex at pH 7.4 compared to pH 1.2 indicated that the proposed nanocarrier could be introduced as a suitable nanovehicle for labile drugs in acidic medium targeted for colorectal segment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of the current study was to assess the feasibility of microspheres from biocompatible polymer for oral bioavailability (BA) enhancement of potent sulfonamide- type loop diuretic- Furosemide - which used in the treatment of congestive heart failure, caused edema, cirrhosis, renal disease and as an adjunct in acute pulmonary edema. The comparatively poor and inconstant BA of furosemide, which occurs site-specifically in the stomach and upper small intestine, has been ascribed to the poor dissolution of furosemide. MATERIALS AND METHODS In attempt to enhance the drug BA, poly (dl-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres of furosemide were obtained using solvent-evaporation method and the carrier characteristics were investigated subsequently. RESULTS The in vivo performance of optimum formulation was assessed by pharmacokinetic evaluation of drug after orally administration of free and loaded in microspheres to rats (4 mg/Kg). For this reason, the concentration of drug in plasma was measured by a new developed and sensitive method of HPLC. Acceptable drug loading and encapsulation efficiency of microspheres were obtained to be 70.43 and 85.21 %, respectively. Microspheres provided improved pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax = 147.94 ng/ml, Tmax = 1.92 hr) in rats as compared with pure drug (Cmax = 75.69 ng/ml, Tmax = 1.5 hr). The obtained AUC of drug in microsphere was 10 fold higher than of the free drug. CONCLUSION The results showed that the prepared microspheres successfully improved BA of the poorly water-soluble drug effectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of intraurethral Mitomycin C (MMC) hydrogel for prevention of post-traumatic anterior urethral stricture recurrence after internal urethrotomy. METHODS A thermoresponsive hydrogel base consisting of 0.8 mg MMC with 1cc water and propylene glycol to PF-127 poloxamer was used in theater. 40 male patients with short, non-obliterated, urethral stricture were randomized into 2 groups: control and MMC. After internal urethrotomy, the MMC group patients received the MMC-Hydrogel while the others were just catheterized. Both groups had their catheters for at least 1 week. After surgery, they were followed up by means of medical history and physical examination, monitoring voiding patterns and retrograde urethrogram at 1 month, 6 months and 1 year after surgery. RESULTS 40 male patients between 14 to 89 years old (Mean = 54.15) underwent internal urethrotomy. The average age for the control and MMC group was 54.55±21.25 and 53.75±24.75 respectively. In a comparison of age between the two groups, they were matched (P=0.574). Stricture length was 10.7±5.9 and 9.55±4.15 mm for the control and MMC group respectively. There were no statistically meaningful differences between the two groups (P=0.485). Fifteen patients had a history of one previous internal urethrotomy which in a comparison between the two groups meant there was no meaningful difference (P=0.327). During postoperative follow up, total urethral stricture recurrence happened in 12 patients: 10 patients (50%) in control group and 2 patients (10%) in MMC group. The difference was statistically significant (P=0.001). There were no significant complications associated with the MMC injection in our patients. CONCLUSIONS Based on our results, MMC Hydrogel may have an anti-fibrotic action preventing post-traumatic anterior urethral stricture recurrence with no side effects on pre-urethral tissue. Due to our study limitations, our follow up time and the small number of patients, our results were not conclusive and further studies will be needed with a longer follow up time.

Abstract
In this study, the folate decorated biodegradable poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles were developed for tumor targeting of anticancer agents. Due to the overexpression of the folate receptor on tumor surface, the folate has been efficiently employed as a targeting moiety for various anticancer agents to avoid their non-specific attacks on normal tissues and also to increase their cellular uptake within target cells. Folate conjugate PLGA was synthesized successfully and its chemical structure was evaluated by FTIR, DSC and (1)HNMR spectroscopy. PLGA-folate nanoparticles (PLGA-Fol NPs) were prepared by nanoprecipitation method, adopting PLGA as a drug carrier, folic acid as a targeting ligand and 9-nitrocampthotecin as a model anticancer drug. The average size and encapsulation efficiency of the prepared PLGA-Fol NPs were found to be around 115 ± 12 nm and 57%, respectively. In vitro release profile indicated that nearly 85% of the drug was released in 50 h. The in vitro intracellular uptakes of PLGA-Fol NPs showed greater cytotoxicity on cancer cell lines compared to non-folate mediated carriers.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of the cancer-related death among women. 9-nitrocamptothecin (9-NC) is a water-insoluble derivative of camptothecin used for the treatment of patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Previous studies showed that the encapsulation of 9-NC in poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid, PLGA) nanoparticles increased the cytotoxic effect of the drug on different cancer cell lines. In the present study, the cytotoxic effects of 9-NC, 9-NC-loaded PLGA and PLGA-polyethylene glycol (PLGA-PEG) nanoparticles with varying degree of PEG (5, 10, and 15%) were evaluated on human ovarian carcinoma cell line. Furthermore, the mode of cell death induced by 9-NC and the optimized 9-NC-loaded PLGA-PEG nanoparticles on A2780 cell line were investigated. 9-NC incorporating nanoparticles were prepared by nanopercipitation method and their physicochemical characteristics were evaluated using standard methods. The results showed that activation of caspase-3 and -9 significantly increased by free 9-NC and PLGA-PEG loaded nanoparticles in A2780 cells. In contrast to the free drug which increased the activation of caspase-8, 9-NC-loaded PLGA-PEG nanoparticles did not alter the activation of caspase-8. Collectively, it appears that apoptosis induced by 9-NC incorporated in PLGA-PEG 5% occurred through the activation of caspase-9 rather than activation of caspase-8 which is the mediator of extrinsic pathway. Moreover, our results confirmed that 9-NC in nanoparticles at the level of gene expression potentiated down-regulation of Bcl-2, up regulation of Bax, and Smac/DIABLO leading to a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential. Taken together, our results showed that 9-NC incorporated in PLGA-PEG 5% nanoparticles is able to induce apoptosis in A2780 human ovarian carcinoma cells and has the potential for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma.

Abstract
The aim of the current study was to design a porous osmotic pump-based drug delivery system for controlling the release of buspirone from the delivery system. The osmotic pump was successfully developed using symmetric membrane coating. The core of the tablets was prepared by direct compression technique and coated using dip-coating technique. Drug release from the osmotic system was studied using USP paddle type apparatus. The effect of various processing variables such as the amount of osmotic agent, the amount of swellable polymer, concentration of the core former, concentration of the plasticizer, membrane thickness, quantum of orifice on drug release from osmotic pump were evaluated. Different kinetic models (zero order, first order and Higuchi model) were applied to drug release data in order to establish the kinetics of drug release. It was found that the drug release was mostly affected by the amount of NaCl as osmotic agent, the swellable polymer; hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), the amount of PEG-400 and cellulose acetate in the coating solution and thickness of the semipermeable membrane. The optimized formulation released buspirone independent of pH and orifice quantum at the osmogen amount of 42%, hydrophilic polymer of 13% and pore size of 0.8 mm on the tablet surface. The drug release of osmotic formulation during 24 h showed zero order kinetics and could be suggested that this formulation as a once-daily regimen improves pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug and enhances patient compliance.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) widely used in the treatments of various types of malignancies, but high toxicity and short plasma half-life have limited its use. This study was aimed at developing a polymeric drug delivery system for improving the therapeutic index of this potent drug. To achieve these goals, PLGA and PLGA-PEG nanoparticles were prepared using the emulsification-solvent diffusion technique and were optimized for particle size and entrapment efficiency. The optimum loaded nanoparticles were evaluated by cytotoxicity and their ability to induce apoptosis compared to free drug by examining of caspase-3 activity. The results showed that optimized particles were 182 ± 14 nm and 258 ± 10 nm in size for PLGA-PEG and PLGA nanoparticles, respectively, with an entrapment efficiency of more than 51%. The cytotoxicity experiment showed that the nanoparticles were more effective than pure MTX and increase the activity of caspase-3 in MCF7 and AGS and A549 cell lines.

Abstract
PURPOSE Agglomeration in suspension is a size enlargement method that facilitates operation of solid processing and preserves the solubilization properties of fine particles. A small quantity of binder liquid is added into a suspension of microparticles, directly in the stirred vessel where the precipitation or crystallization took place. This study deals with the evaluation of the effect of agitation time before and after addition of binder liquid on agglomerates properties in order to give some insights into the mechanism of the formation of the agglomerates. METHODS Carbamazepine is used as a model drug and isopropyl acetate is used as binder liquid. The agglomerates characterization includes the particle size, morphology and density. RESULTS The results showed that, by increasing the agitation time before addition of binder liquid, smaller agglomerates with less density and irregular forms composed of larger crystals were obtained. However, with increasing agitation time after addition of binder liquid the agglomerates size and density increases and morphology improves. Indeed, by continuing agitation along the course of agglomeration the properties of the particles change gradually but substantially. CONCLUSION With optimized agitation time before and after addition of binder liquid, spherical and dense agglomerates can be obtained.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) are colloidal carrier systems which provide controlled-release profiles for many substances. In this study, we prepared aqueous dispersions of lipid nanoparticles using a modified, pH-sensitive derivative of phosphatidylethanolamine. METHODS SLNs were prepared using polysorbate 80 as the surfactant and tripalmitin glyceride and N-glutaryl phosphatidylethanolamine as the lipid components. Particle size, polydispersity index, and zeta potential were examined by photon correlation spectroscopy. Morphological evaluation was performed using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. RESULTS Photon correlation spectroscopy revealed a particle hydrodynamic diameter of 165.8 nm and zeta potential of -41.6.0 mV for the drug-loaded nanoparticles. Atomic force microscopy investigation showed the nanoparticles to be 50-600 nm in length and 66.5 nm in height. Differential scanning calorimetry indicated that the majority of SLNs possessed less ordered arrangements of crystals compared with corresponding bulk lipids, which is favorable for improving drug-loading capacity. Drug-loading capacity and drug entrapment efficiency values for the SLNs were 25.32% and 94.32%, respectively. CONCLUSION The SLNs prepared in this study were able to control the release of triamcinolone acetonide under acidic conditions.

Abstract
The uptake and transport of 9-nitrocamptothecin (9-NC), a potent anticancer agent, across Caco-2 cell monolayers was studied as a free and PLGA nanoparticle loaded drug. Different sizes (110 to 950 nm) of 9-nitrocamptothecin nanoparticles using poly (lactic-glycolic acid) were prepared by via the nanoprecipitation method. The transport of nanoparticles across the Caco-2 cell monolayer as a function of incubation time and concentration was evaluated for each different nanoparticle formulation. The amount of 9-NC transported from the apical to the basolateral side and the uptake of the drug into the cells was determined by HPLC. The uptake of intact nanoparticles into Caco-2 cells was visualized by confocal laser scanning microscopy using 6-coumarin as a fluorescent marker. The study demonstrated that Caco-2 cell uptake and transport of encapsulated 9-nitrocamptothecin is significantly affected by the diameter of the carrier and incubation time. In addition it was shown to be independent of concentration. The results indicated a significant accumulation of the drug in the cell membrane and an enhanced diffusion across the cell membrane. There was also a sustained release of characteristics pertaining to polymeric carriers that provided prolonged drug availability for absorptive cells.

Abstract
Objective: The main objective of this study was to investigate thermosensitive Pluronic® F-127 (PF-127) hydrogel for the modified release of a potent alcohol and opioid antagonist, naltrexone (NTX) hydrochloride, in a subcutaneous injectable dosage form. Methods: The NTX hydrogels were prepared by the cold method, and the in vitro release profiles of various formulations were evaluated at 37°C using the Franz diffusion cell system. We examined the different PF-127 concentrations, pH of solution, and inorganic salts on drug release from these gels. Results: The data showed an increase in PF-127 content from 20% to 35%, resulting in a decrease in the rate of NTX release. Among the formulations prepared in different pH solutions, pH 7.4 produced the slowest drug release rate. The addition of inorganic salts had no significant effect on drug release. However, these factors appeared to have limited effects on drug release rate. Therefore, to achieve a sustained-release formulation, a NTX and triacetyl β-cyclodextrin (TAβCD) complex was evaluated. The binary systems of NTX/TAβCD in different molar ratios were prepared by the kneading method, and complex formation was demonstrated by differential scanning calorimetry. Conclusion: The results of the current in vitro study indicate that PF-127 gel formulations containing drug complexes with hydrophobic cyclodextrin could be useful for the preparation of a controlled delivery system of water-soluble drugs such as NTX, for a period of more than 140 hours.

Abstract
The purpose in this study was to investigate poly(ethylene glycol)-modified poly (d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles (PLGA-PEG-NPs) loading 9-nitrocamptothecin (9-NC) as a potent anticancer drug. 9-NC is an analog of the natural plant alkaloid camptothecin that has shown high antitumor activity and is currently in the end stage of clinical trial. Unfortunately, at physiological pH, these potent agents undergo a rapid and reversible hydrolysis with the loss of antitumor activity. Previous researchers have shown that the encapsulation of this drug in PLGA nanoparticles could increase its stability and release profile. In this research we investigated PLGA-PEG nanoparticles and their effect on in vitro characteristics of this labile drug. 9-NC-PLGA-PEG nanoparticles with particle size within the range of 148.5 ± 30 nm were prepared by a nanoprecipitation method. The influence of four different independent variables (amount of polymer, percent of emulsifier, internal phase volume, and external phase volume) on nanoparticle drug-loading was studied. Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffractometry were also evaluated for physical characterizing. The results of optimized formulation showed a narrow size distribution, suitable zeta potential (+1.84), and a drug loading of more than 45%. The in vitro drug release from PLGA-PEG NPs showed a sustained release pattern of up to 120 hours and comparing with PLGA-NPs had a significant decrease in initial burst effect. These experimental results indicate that PLGA-PEG-NPs (versus PLGA-NPs) have a better physicochemical characterization and can be developed as a drug carrier in order to treat different malignancies.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters and bioavailability of a selective histamine (H1)-receptor antagonist, cetirizine hydrochloride (CTZ), following administration of a single oral dose of the drug. The properties of a test compound were compared with those of a reference product in a randomized cross-over study in 12 volunteers. Blood samples were collected at selected time intervals up to 24 h and plasma concentrations of CTZ were determined using a validated HPLC method. Pharmacokinetic parameters including T(1/2), T(1/2)(abs), K, K(a), T(max), C(max), V(d)/F, Cl/F, AUC(0-24), AUC (0-∞) and MRT were determined from plasma concentration-time profiles for tested products and found to be in good agreement with previous reports. The analysis of variance did not show any significant differences between the test and reference products. The confidence intervals for the ratio of C(max) (95-110%), AUC(0-24) (91-112%) and AUC(0-∞) (92-109%) for the test and reference products were within the acceptable interval of 80-125%. ANOVA assessment of logarithmically transformed data did not reveal any significant subject, period or sequence effects. It was, therefore, concluded that the two products were bioequivalent and could be used interchangeably.

Abstract
This study was aimed at developing a polymeric drug delivery system for a new and potent antitumor drug, 9-nitrocamptothecin (9-NC), intended for both intravenous administration and improving the therapeutic index of the drug. To achieve these goals, 9-NC loaded poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles were prepared by nanoprecipitation method and characterized. The full factorial experimental design was used to study the influence of four different independent variables on response of nanoparticle drug loading. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to evaluate optimized conditions for the preparation of nanoparticles. The physical characteristics of PLGA nanospheres were evaluated using particle size analyzer, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffractometry. The results of optimized formulations showed a narrow size distribution with a polydispersity index of 0.01%, an average diameter of 207+/-26 nm, and a drug loading of more than 30%. The in vitro drug release profile showed a sustained 9-NC release up to 160 h indicating the suitability of PLGA nanoparticles in controlled 9-NC release. Thus prepared nanoparticles described here may be of clinical importance in both stabilizing and delivering camptothecins for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assays were developed and validated for the quantitation of the investigational anticancer drug 9-nitrocamptothecin (9-NC) as the lactone form and as the total of the lactone(I) and carboxylate(II) forms in human plasma. For the assay of lactone form (9NC-lac), the analytical method involved a protein precipitation step with adding a mixture of cold acetonitril-chloroform (5:1 (v/v), -20 degrees C) to plasma sample that stabilized the pH-dependent conversion of I to II. After evaporation under gentle stream of nitrogen gas (40 degrees C) the dry extract was dissolved in mobile phase (pH 5.5). For determination of the total of the lactone and carboxylate forms of the drug (9NC-tot), plasma samples were deproteinated with cold acetonitril (-20 degrees C) acidified with perchloric acid (5%), which resulted in the conversion of the carboxylate into the lactone form. After centrifugation the upper solvent was evaporated (nitrogen, 40 degrees C) and the dry extract was dissolved in mobile phase (pH 3.5). All separations were performed on a RP-C(8) column, using a mixture of acetonitril-water as eluent (pH 3.5 for total form and pH 5.5 for lactone form) and UV detection. The presented assay was linear over a concentration range of 25-1500 ng/ml with lower limit of quantitation of 25 ng/ml for both 9NC-tot and 9NC-lac. Within-run and between-run precision was always less than 7.5% in the concentration range of interest. The reported assay method showed good characteristics of linearity, sensitivity, selectivity and precision allowing applying in pharmacokinetic studies.

Abstract
New alkyl ester analogues of nifedipine, in which the ortho-nitrophenyl group of position 4 is replaced by 1-(4-nitrobenzyl)-5-imidazolyl or 2-methylthio-1-(4-nitrobenzyl)-5-imidazolyl substituent, were synthesized and evaluated as calcium-channel antagonists using the electrically induced contraction of guinea-pig ileal longitudinal smooth muscle. Our results demonstrate that all compounds inhibited the contractile response of guinea-pig ileum to electrical stimulation and the IC50 value of the most potent compounds 6a and 6f were significantly lower than that of nifedipine. Therefore, they are more potent than nifedipine.
