Abstract
Naringin (NAR) and naringenin (NGE) are flavonoids with important effects, such as antioxidant, nephroprotective and anti-inflammatory action. However, factors such as poor solubility and oral bioavailability, gastrointestinal instability and extensive first pass metabolism lead to limited deliverability. As far as we know, there are no papers describing the use of combination of NAR and NGE in nanoparticles. This paper describes the development and characterization of new nanoparticles containing NAR and NGE (NAR-NGE-NPs) which were prepared by nanoprecipitation using ethanol or mixture of solvents. Size distribution of NAR-NGE-NPs demonstrated a narrow distribution (121 nm), low polydispersity (< 0.1), and encapsulation efficiencies were greater than 80%. Infrared spectroscopy analyses confirmed the structure of NAR-NGE-NPs and in transmission electron microscopy, NAR-NGE-NPs presented a spherical and regular shape. A degradation study by UV-C, NAR-NGE-NPs improved photostability and conferred protection against NAR and NGE degradation. Minimal inhibitory concentrations of NAR and NGE were evaluated, however samples did not show antimicrobial activity. In this investigation, new NAR-NGE-NPs were successfully developed by a nanoprecipitation technique, using Endragit®L100 as polymer and ethanol as solvent.

Abstract
Lipid nanoparticles (LNs) are traditional systems able to effectively increase skin hydration. However, due to its reduced viscosity, LNs suspensions are less attractive for skin administration. To overcome this disadvantage, the LN were incorporated in the semi-solid formulation is easy manipulation. This study demonstrated that it is possible to obtain novel LN-loaded fucoxanthin (LN-FUCO) for topical administration containing a combination of bacuri butter and tucumã oil prepared by high shear homogenization for improved stability. The particle size was found to be 243.0 nm and the entrapment efficiency up to 98% of FUCO was incorporated and achieved the suitability of formula. The LN-FUCO hydrogel characteristics of slight acidity, drug content near 100%, and nanometric mean size assure to this formulation high compatibility to dermal application. Photostability assay by UVA, LN-FUCO, and LN-FUCO hydrogel improved photostability and conferred greater protection against FUCO degradation. The results obtained from in vitro skin permeation studies presented a significant difference between LN-FUCO hydrogel and FUCO (p < 0.05), with no detection of the drug in the receptor medium. Therefore, high shear homogenization is demonstrated to be a simple, available, and effective method to prepare high-quality LN-FUCO hydrogel for topical application.

Abstract
Fucoxanthin (FUCO) is a marine carotenoid characterized by antiproliferative properties against hyperproliferative cells. The aim of this work was to design and develop nanostructured lipidic carriers (NLCs) based on bacuri butter and tucumã oil and loaded with FUCO, intended for skin application to prevent skin hyperproliferative diseases and in particular psoriasis. The presence of FUCO should control the hyperproliferation of skin diseased cells and the lipids forming the NLC core, rich in antioxidants and characterized by wound healing properties, should favor the restoring of skin integrity. NLCs were coated with chitosan (CS) to improve their biopharmaceutical properties (bio/mucoadhesion and wound healing) and to combine the advantages of lipidic nanoparticles with the biological properties of CS. Chitosan coated and non-coated NLC were prepared by means of high shear homogenization and characterized for chemico-physical and biopharmaceutical properties (in vitro biocompatibility and cell uptake towards normal dermal human fibroblasts). Moreover, the pharmacological activity of FUCO loaded in NLCs was assessed in psoriatic-like cellular model. NLCs were characterized by dimensions ranging from about 250 to 400 nm. Moreover, the CS coating and FUCO loading determined an increase of size. Moreover, TEM and zeta potential analysis confirmed the presence of CS coating on nanoparticle surface, thus conferring to nanoparticle good bioadhesion properties. NLCs uptake in fibroblasts was observed and NLC-FUCO-CS caused a reduction of cell viability with a less marked effect in fibroblasts rather than in psoriatic cells, highlighting the capability of this system to control skin hyperproliferation and inflammation. The loading of NLC-FUCO-CS in pullulan film should render NLCs application easy, without impair prompt interaction of the drug with the skin. Considering the overall results skin application of CS coated NLCs loaded with FUCO seems a promising approach to control skin hyperproliferation and to preserve skin integrity in psoriatic skin.

Abstract
Aims: Lipid-core nanocapsules (LNCs) loaded with simvastatin (SV, SV-LNC) or lovastatin (LV, LV-LNC) were formulated for pulmonary administration. Methods: The LNC suspensions were characterized physicochemically, their stability was evaluated, and drug delivery by the pulmonary route was tested in vitro. Results: The loaded LNCs had a particle size close to 200 nm, a low polydispersity index, and a zeta potential around -20 mV. The encapsulation efficiency was high for SV (99.21 ± 0.7%) but low for LV (20.34 ± 1.2%). SV release from nanocapsules was slower than it was from SV in solution, with a monoexponential release profile, and the drug emitted and aerosol output rate was higher for SV-LNCs (1.58 µg/s) than for SV in suspension (0.54 µg/s). Conclusions: SV-LNCs had a median aerodynamic diameter of 3.51 µm and a highly respirable fraction (61.9%), indicating that nanoparticles are a suitable system for efficient delivery of simvastatin to the lung.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe the glycosylation of ambrisentan (AMB) by cultures of Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 9245. AMB is an endothelin receptor antagonist, which is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. Filamentous fungi are morphologically complex and may exhibit different forms depending on the species and the nature of the culture medium. A biotransformation study was conducted to investigate the ability of C. elegans to metabolize AMB. Parameters were optimized by testing on different culture media and concentrations, pH, drug concentration, static and shaking conditions. Ambrisentan's metabolite, obtained after 240 h of incubation as a result of glycosylation pathway, was separated by HPLC and determined by high-resolution mass spectrometry. The method showed linearity over 300-1000 μg mL-1 (r = 0.998). Accuracy, precision, robustness and stability studies agree with international guidelines. Results are consistent in accordance with the principles of green chemistry as the experimental conditions had a low environmental impact, and used little solvent.

Abstract
Flavonoids are among the most important plant metabolites. Due to their potential benefits, there is a considerable interest in this natural product. In genus Citrus, some plants have not yet been much exploited in Brazil, as in the case of grapefruit (Citrus maxima), whose main flavonoids are naringin and their aglycone naringenin. The physico-chemical characteristics are important pre-requisites of reference chemical in future studies. In this context, the objective of this study was to determine the characterization of naringin and naringenin by melting point, DSC, UV-VIS, 1H and 13C NMR, IR and MS. Results revealed that, naringin and naringenin after characterization, can be used as a chemical of reference in future studies and contribute to seeking possible technological applications.

Abstract
A simple, sensitive, precise and linear method by liquid chromatography was established for simultaneous determination and quantification of naringin and naringenin in polymeric nanoparticles. The method results in excellent separation in <11 min and with a peak purity of both flavonoids. The analyses were performed using a C18 column (4.6 × 150 mm, 5 µm), at a 1 mL/min flow rate. The mobile phase consisted of a gradient of acetonitrile-water (pH 4.0; v/v) at a temperature of 25°C. The nanoparticles were prepared according to the method of interfacial deposition of a pre-formed polymer. The method were validated in compliance with guidelines, and was found to be linear in the 1-40 µg/mL concentration range for both naringin and naringenin (r > 0.99). Repeatability was determined at three concentration levels, obtaining an RSD (%) <0.9%, and the accuracy of the method was >98%. The photodegradation kinetics was determined for naringin; the coefficient that best represents degradation was of first order and naringenin presented a zero-order kinetics. To our knowledge, a rapid and sensitive method for naringin and naringenin in polymeric nanoparticles has not been published elsewhere and this method is applicable to simultaneous evaluation of flavonoids.
