Esfandiari N, Saadati Ardestani N, Alwi RS, Rojas A, Garlapati C, Sajadian SA. Solubility measurement of verapamil for the preparation of developed nanomedicines using supercritical fluid. Sci Rep 2023; 13:17089. [PMID: 37816767 PMCID: PMC10564778 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-44280-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/12/2023] Open
Abstract
A static method is employed to determine the solubilities of verapamil in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) at temperatures between 308 and 338 K and pressures between 12 and 30 MPa. The solubility of verapamil in SC-CO2 expressed as mole fraction are in the range of 3.6 × 10-6 to 7.14 × 10-5. Using four semi-empirical density-based models, the solubility data are correlated: Chrastil, Bartle, Kumar-Johnston (K-J), and Mendez-Santiago and Teja (MST), two equations of state (SRK and PC-SAFT EoS), expanded liquid models (modified Wilson's models), and regular solution model. The obtained results indicated that the regular solution and PC-SAFT models showed the most noteworthy exactness with AARD% of 1.68 and 7.45, respectively. The total heat, vaporization heat, and solvation heat of verapamil are calculated at 39.62, 60.03, and - 20.41 kJ/mol, respectively. Regarding the poor solubility of verapamil in SC-CO2, supercritical anti-solvent methods can be an appropriate choice to produce fine particles of this drug.

Abstract
The supercritical fluid extraction of essential oil from rosemary leaves and its subsequent impregnation in linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) films were studied. The effects of temperature (318 and 338 K), pressure (15 and 25 MPa) and rosemary particle size (0.9 and 0.15 mm) on the extraction yield were investigated. Impregnation assays were developed at two different values of pressure (12 and 20 MPa), temperature (308 and 328 K), and impregnation time (1 and 5 h). The extraction yield of rosemary essential oil was increased by increasing pressure and decreasing particle size and temperature. ANOVA results showed that temperature, pressure, and time significantly impacted the essential oil impregnation yield in LLDPE films. The maximum impregnation yield (1.87 wt. %) was obtained at 12 MPa, 328 K, and 5 h. The antioxidant activity and the physical-mechanical properties of impregnated films were analyzed. The IC50 values for all the impregnated LLDPE samples were close to the IC50 value of the extract showing that the impregnated films have a significant antioxidant activity.

Abstract
Antisolvent crystallization approach using either water (in conventional crystallization process (WAS)), or supercritical CO2 (in supercritical anti-solvent crystallization (SCAS)), was employed in presence of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) to enhance the dissolution of curcumin. The impact of pressure, temperature and depressurization time on the SCAS process was studied using the Box-Behnken design to achieve the highest saturation solubility. A physical mixture of curcumin-HPMC was prepared for comparison purposes. Saturation solubility, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were conducted to characterize the solid-state characteristics of the crystallized samples. Dissolution studies helped in ascertaining the effects of the crystallization techniques on the performance of the formulation. Curcumin crystalized by different antisolvent displayed varied shapes, sizes, saturation solubility's and dissolution properties. In SCAS process, the maximum saturation solubility (2.83 µg/mL) was obtained when the pressure, temperature and depressurization time were 275 bars, 55 °C, and 22 min respectively. The SCAS samples showed the highest dissolution (70%) in 30 min compared to WAS (27%), physical mixture (18%) and unprocessed curcumin (16%). The improved dissolution rate of SCAS sample originates from the development of sponge-like particles with augmented porosity, decreased crystallinity as well as increased solubility of curcumin.
