Abstract
Hyperlipidemia is the primary cause of heart disorders and has been manifested as the condition with remarkable higher levels of very-low-density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins, intermediate-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and cholesterol in blood circulation. Genetic causes or systemic metabolic illnesses like diabetes mellitus, increased alcohol consumption, hypothyroidism, and primary biliary cirrhosis are several reasons behind development of hyperlipidemia. Higher levels of lipids and lipoproteins in plasma are responsible for various health disorders in human body like occlusion of blood vessels, acute pancreatitis, and reduced artery lumen elasticity. Both primary and secondary prophylaxis of heart disease can be achieved through combination of pharmacologic therapy with therapeutic lifestyle adjustments. Statins which belongs to HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors are preferred for primary prevention of hyperlipidemia particularly for individuals at higher risk of development of heart disease. This review discusses the recent advancements and outcomes of nanoparticle drug carriers for statins in the therapy of hyperlipidemia.

Ashfaq M, Shah S, Rasul A, Hanif M, Khan HU, Khames A, Abdelgawad MA, Ghoneim MM, Ali MY, Abourehab MAS, Maheen S, Iqbal O, Abbas G, El Sisi AM. Enhancement of the Solubility and Bioavailability of Pitavastatin through a Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System (SNEDDS). Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14030482. [PMID: 35335860 PMCID: PMC8953816 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14030482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Revised: 02/14/2022] [Accepted: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to develop an SNEDDS to improve the solubility and bioavailability of pitavastatin. The solubility of pitavastatin in different oils, surfactants, and co-surfactants was determined and a pseudo-ternary phase diagram was constructed. The SNEDDS was characterized by zeta-sizer, zeta-potential, FTIR, DSC, and TGA. Release and permeation of pitavastatin from the SNEDDS was studied for 12 and 24 h, respectively. The lipolysis test, RBC lysis, effect on lipid profile, and pharmacokinetics were studied. The SPC3 formulation showed a 104 ± 1.50 nm particle size, a 0.198 polydispersity index (PDI), and a –29 zeta potential. FTIR, DSC, and TGA showed the chemical compatibility and thermal stability. The release and permeation of pitavastatin from SPC3 was 88.5 ± 2.5% and 96%, respectively. In the lipolysis test, the digestion of SPC3 yielded a high amount of pitavastatin and showed little RBC lysis. The lipid profile suggested that after 35 days of administration of the SNEDDS, there was a marked decrease in TC, LDL, and triglyceride levels. The SNEDDS of SPC3 showed an 86% viability of Caco-2 cells. Pharmacokinetics of SPC3 showed improved values of Cmax, Tmax, half-life, MRT, AUC, and AUMC compared to the reference formulation. Our study demonstrated that the SNEDDS effectively enhanced the solubility and bioavailability of a BCS class II drug.

Abstract
This study is focused on the preparation and characterization of erucic acid (EA) and phytosphingosine (PS) containing cationic nanoemulsions (NEs) for plasmid DNA (pDNA) delivery. Repurposing of cationic agents guided us to PS, previously used for enhanced interaction with negatively charged surfaces. It was reported that EA might act anti-tumoral on C6 glioma, melanoma, neuroblastoma, and glioblastoma. However, there is only one study about mixed oleic acid-EA liposomes. This gap attracted our interest in the possible synergistic effects of PS and EA on MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Three cationic NEs (NE 1, NE 2, and NE 3) were prepared and characterized in terms of droplet size (DS), polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential (ZP) before and after complexation with pDNA, long-term stability, SDS release, cytotoxicity, and transfection studies. The cationic NEs had DSs of <200 nm, PDIs <0.3, and ZPs > +30 mV. Long-term stability studies revealed that NE 2 and NE 3 were stable. NE 1-pDNA had appropriate particle properties. NE 2 reduced the viability of MDA-MB-231 cells to 11% and of MCF-7 cells to 13% and resulted in the highest number of transfected cells. To sum up, NE 2 containing PS and EA is appropriate for delivering pDNA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor bioavailability and solubility of drugs in aqueous phase are the most important problems of newly developed chemical entities that can be improved by nanoemulsion. OBJECTIVES BCS class II and IV which are poorly soluble in water demonstrate various problems in conventional dosage forms. For the improvement of solubility, bioavailability and getting the best therapeutic effect of poorly soluble drugs nanoemulsion is the best solution. METHODS Nanoemulsion are thermodynamically unstable isotropic system with droplet size 1-100 nm in which two immiscible fluids are combined together to form one phase by using an emulsifying agent. Nanoemulsion can be designed to promote the bioavailability of API by trapping them inside. RESULTS Nanoemulsion can be developed in many dosage forms such as oral, parenteral, topical, ophthalmic dosage form in large scale using common operation at a very low cost. Large range of lipophilic drugs can be easily incorporated in nanoemulsion. CONCLUSION In this review, attention is focused on the type of nanoemulsions, their advantages over other dosage form, method for their preparation, characterization, applications and patents in various fields.

Assessment of Fractional Factorial Design for the Selection and Screening of Appropriate Components of a Self-nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System Formulation. Adv Pharm Bull 2019; 9:609-618.

Abstract
Purpose: Recently, a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) has shown great improvement in the enhancement of drug bioavailability. The selection of appropriate compositions in the SNEDDS formulation is the fundamental step towards developing a successful formulation. This study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of fractional factorial design (FFD) in the selection and screening of a SNEDDS composition. Furthermore, the most efficient FFD approach would be applied to the selection of SNEDDS components. Methods: The types of oil, surfactant, co-surfactant, and their concentrations were selected as factors. 26 full factorial design (FD) (64 runs), 26-1 FFD (32 runs), 26-2 FFD (16 runs), and 26-3 FFD (8 runs) were compared to the main effect contributions of each design. Ca-pitavastatin (Ca-PVT) was used as a drug model. Screening parameters, such as transmittance, emulsification time, and drug load, were selected as responses followed by particle size along with zeta potential for optimized formulation. Results: The results indicated that the patterns of 26 full FD and 26-1 for both main effects and interactions were similar. 26-3 FFD lacked adequate precision when used for screening owing to the limitation of design points. In addition, capryol, Tween 80, and transcutol P were selected to be developed in a SNEDDS formulation with a particle size of 69.7± 5.3 nm along with a zeta potential of 33.4± 2.1 mV. Conclusion: Herein, 26-2 FFD was chosen as the most efficient and adequate design for the selection and screening of SNEDDS composition. The optimized formulation fulfilled the requirement of a quality target profile of a nanoemulsion.

Development and Permeability Testing of Self-Emulsifying Atorvastatin Calcium Pellets and Tablets of Compressed Pellets. Processes (Basel) 2019.

Abstract
Self-emulsifying pellets (SEPs) of Atorvastatin Calcium (AtrCa) were developed and processed into tablets (SETs). Self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) composed of oleic acid, Tween 20, Span 80 and N-Methyl-2-pyrolidone gave great solubility improvement and was used as oil in water emulsion for the preparation of SEPs. Due to the high 60% w/w SEDDS content required to achieve a therapeutic dose in the final tablet form, sonication was necessary to improve fluidity and stability. Colloidal silicon dioxide (CSD) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) were the solids in the pellet formulation employed at a ratio 7:3, which enabled production of pellets with high SEDDS content and acceptable friability as well. Emulsions were characterized physico-chemically, SEPs for physical properties and reconstitution, and tablets of compressed pellets for mechanical strength, disintegration into pellets and drug release. SEPs compressed with 30% MCC at 60 MPa gave tablets of adequate strength that disintegrated rapidly into pellets within 1 min. Emulsion reconstitution took longer than drug release due to adsorption of SEDDS on CSD, implying dissolution at the pellet surface in parallel to that from the dispersed droplets. Compared to the commercial tablet, drug release from the self-emulsifying forms was faster at pH 1.2 where the drug solubility is poor, but slower at pH 6.8 where the solubility is higher. Permeability and cytotoxicity were also studied using Caco-2 cells. The results showed that drug transport from the apical to basolateral compartment of the test well was 1.27 times greater for SEPs than commercial tablets, but 0.86 times lower in the opposite direction. Statistical analysis confirmed the significance of these results. Toxicity was slightly reduced. Therefore, the increased permeability in conjunction with the protection of the drug being dissolved in the SEDDS droplets, may reduce the overall effect of presystemic metabolism and enhance bioavailability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The efficacy of many hydrophobic bioactives (pharmaceuticals, supplements, and nutraceuticals) is limited due to their relatively low or highly variable bioavailability. Nanoemulsions consisting of small lipid droplets (r < 100 nm) dispersed in water can be designed to improve bioavailability. AREAS COVERED The major factors limiting the oral bioavailability of hydrophobic bioactive agents are highlighted: bioaccessibility, absorption and transformation. Two nanoemulsion-based approaches to control these processes and improve bioavailability are discussed: nanoemulsion delivery systems (NDS) and nanoemulsion excipient systems (NES). In NDS, hydrophobic bioactives are dissolved within the lipid phase of oil-in-water nanoemulsions. In NES, the bioactives are present within a conventional drug, supplement, or food, which is consumed with an oil-in-water nanoemulsion. Examples of NDS and NES utilization to improve bioactive bioavailability are given. EXPERT OPINION Considerable progress has been made in nanoemulsion design, fabrication, and testing. This knowledge facilitates the design of new formulations to improve the bioavailability of pharmaceuticals, supplements, and nutraceuticals. NDS and NES must be carefully designed based on the major factors limiting the bioavailability of specific bioactives. Research is still required to ensure these systems are commercially viable, and to demonstrate their safety and efficacy using animal and human feeding studies.
