Abstract
Orodispersible dosage forms, characterized as quick dissolving and swallowing without water, have recently gained great attention from the pharmaceutical industry, as these forms can satisfy the needs of children, the elderly, and patients suffering from mental illnesses. However, poor taste by thorough exposure of the drugs' dissolution in the oral cavity hinders the effectiveness of the orodispersible dosage forms. To bridge this gap, we put forward three taste-masking strategies with respect to the intensity of time, concentration, and perception. We further investigated the raw material processing, the composition of auxiliary material, formulation techniques, and process control in each strategy and drew conclusions about their effects on taste masking.

Abstract
The present study aimed to develop fast melting tablets (FMTs) using silymarin (SM) owing to FMTs rapid disintegration and dissolution. FMTs represent a pathway to help patients to increase their compliance level of treatment via facile administration without water or chewing beside reduction cost. One of the methods for FMTs formulation is lyophilization. Optimization of SM-FMTs was developed via a 32 factorial design. All prepared SM-FMTs were evaluated for weight variation, thickness, breaking force, friability, content uniformity, disintegration time (DT), and % SM released. The optimized FMT formula was selected based on the criteria of scoring the fastest DT and highest % SM released after 10 min (Q10). Optimized FMT was subjected to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) besides investigating its lung-protective efficacy. All SM-FMT tablets showed acceptable properties within the pharmacopeial standards. Optimized FMT (F7) scored a DT of 12.5 ± 0.64 Sec and % SM released at Q10 of 82.69 ± 2.88%. No incompatibilities were found between SM and excipients, it showed a porous structure under SEM. The optimized formula decreased cytokines, up-regulated miRNA133a, and down-regulated miRNA-155 and COX-2 involved in the protection against lung toxicity prompted by HgCl2 in a manner comparable to free SM at the same dosage.

Abstract
The choice of carrier and drug ratio are critical factors as far as the type of solid dispersion is concerned. Amorphous solid dispersion has been cited as the most desirable type among the different types of solid dispersion due to the benefit of amorphicity in increasing the drug solubility of a poorly soluble drug. Recent reports delineated that a partially crystalline solid dispersion system may perform better due to the inherent issue of solution mediated recrystallisation of a completely amorphous system. In oppose to the conventional choice of using amorphous polymer, this study aimed to investigate the use of a crystalline carrier, polyethylene glycol (PEG) for dissolution enhancement of a model poorly soluble drug, Flurbiprofen (FBP), a BCS Class II candidate. Solid dispersions of different FBP to PEG 6000 molar ratios via solvent evaporation were prepared. Physical characterisation of preparations was performed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and optical microscope. DSC and ATR-FTIR analyses suggest the obtained solid dispersion exhibits crystalline FBP. This is then supported by the optical microscope analysis as the birefringence of crystals was noted. Further increasing the drug-carrier molar ratio to one-to-three and one-to-six showed that there was an amorphous FBP constituent in the system. DSC analysis revealed the melting point depression of FBP by the carrier which signifies interaction between the drug and polymer. Dissolution study showed the solid dispersion of FBP improves the drug solubility and drug release compared to the pure drug. A higher carrier ratio in the formulation results in a higher drug release.

Abstract
Ethylmorphine hydrochloride (EtM) is a derivative of morphine used as analgesic to treat severe pain in case of cancer and bone injury. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate core in cup tablets containing 2 doses of EtM, the cup was formulated as lyophilized oro-dispersible tablet (ODT) for immediate release (IR), and the core was formulated as directly compressed tablet for sustained release (SR). Factorial design was adopted for the optimization of tablets prepared via lyophilized form and direct compression techniques: a 41.22 design was used for the former, while a 32 one was used for the latter. All prepared tablets showed acceptable physical properties which were in accordance with pharmacopeial standards. Two lyophilized ODTs (F9 and F10) formulae were selected as the cup for instant release. While one directly compressed tablet formula (S6) was selected based on the in vitro release profile to represent the sustained core, the outcome was 2 core in cup tablets, namely B1 and B2 which were evaluated for their in vivo absorption and showed a maximum plasma concentration (Cpmax) of 354.12 ± 17.55 ng/mL and 350.82 ± 12.15 ng/mL respectively attained after 3.0 h which were twofolds significantly higher in comparison to the market tablet with Cpmax of only 172.05 ± 12.53 ng/mL attained after 2.20 ± 0.24 h.

Abstract
Poorly soluble drugs are often unsuitable to incorporate in ocular in situ gelling systems due to the aqueous based gelling formulations and low volumes administered. For such formulations to be successful, the administered drug must have sufficient solubility to diffuse from the formulation to the eye and should not affect the gelation of the in situ gelling material. Drug salt forms can improve the solubility of poorly soluble drugs, however, as in situ gel forming formulations are often designed to be crosslinked by salts (present the lacrimal fluid) it can make salt forms difficult to formulate. The aim of this study was to develop an in situ gel forming ophthalmic formulation of a poorly soluble drug flurbiprofen (FBP) through cyclodextrin complex formation and to analyse the impact on gelation, release and permeation through the cornea. Hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HβCD) was used as a complexing agent and low acyl gellan gum was added to the FBP- HβCD complex as a water soluble in situ gelling polymer. Measurements were performed using rheo-dissolution, which utilises a rheometer with a modified lower plate that has the unique ability to allow rheological measurement and analysis of drug release simultaneously. An ex-vivo permeation study was also performed using porcine cornea. Rheological measurements in terms of elastic (G') and viscous (G″) modulus showed rapid gelation of the formulation upon contact with simulated lacrimal fluid (SLF). Approximately, 97% FBP was released when 10% HβCD was used and release was decreased to 79% when the amount of HβCD was increased to 20%. The percentage of drug permeation through the cornea was 55% in 300 min whereas the marketed non gelling eye drop formulation containing FBP sodium showed only 37% permeation. The data presented here, revealed that not only could a poorly soluble drug be complexed with cyclodextrin and loaded into an in situ gelling system without interfering with the gelation, but also permeability the of the drug improved.

Abstract
Because of poor solubility and considerable metabolism, vardenafil (VRD) bioavailability is 15%. To overcome this obstacle, this study aimed to increase the solubility, hasten the onset of action, and mask the unpleasant taste of VRD utilizing β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and formulation of the inclusion complex as oral disintegrating tablets (ODTs). The solubility of the obtained complexes in various ratios has been studied. A Box–Behnken design (BBD) was utilized to investigate the influence of excipients on the quality of ODTs. The solubility of VRD was improved at 1:2 drug:β-CD ratio. The formulated VRD-ODTs exhibited satisfying results regarding the hardness and disintegration time. In addition, in vivo taste masking and disintegration time showed improved results, after placing the tablets in the oral cavity of the healthy volunteers. When compared with the marketed tablets, the pharmacokinetic parameters for the optimized VRD-ODTs exhibited a significant improvement with p < 0.05 in the maximum plasma concentration and reduction in the time needed to reach this concentration. Finally, the optimized VRD-ODTs exhibited increased oral absorption of VRD and subsequent decrease in the time of onset of clinical effect and masking the unpleasant taste.

Abstract
In this study, furbiprofen/hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) inclusion complexes were prepared to improve the drug dissolution and facilitate its application in hydrophilic gels. Inclusion complexes were prepared using a supercritical fluid processing and a conventional optimized co-lypholization method was employed as a reference. The entrapment efficacy and drug loading of both methods were investigated. Evaluation of drug dissolution enhancement was conducted in deionized water as well as buffer solutions of different pH. Carbopol 940 gels of both flurbiprofen and flurbiprofen/HPβCD inclusion complexes, with or without penetration enhancers, were prepared and percutaneous permeation studies were performed using rat abdominal skin samples. Formation of flurbiprofen/HPβCD inclusion complexes was confirmed by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results obtained showed that SCF processing produced a higher EE (81.91 ± 1.54%) and DL (6.96 ± 0.17%) compared with OCL with values of 69.11 ± 2.23% and 4.00 ± 1.01%, respectively. A marked instantaneous release of flurbiprofen/HPβCD inclusion complexes prepared by SCF processing (103.04 ± 2.66% cumulative release within 5 min, a 10-fold increase in comparison with flurbiprofen alone) was observed. In addition, this improvement in dissolution was shown to be pH-independent (the percentage cumulative release at pH 1.2, 4.5, 6.8 and 7.4 at 5 min was 95.19 ± 1.71, 101.75 ± 1.44, 105.37 ± 4.58 and 96.84 ± 0.56, respectively). Percutaneous permeability of flurbiprofen-in-HPβCD-in-gels could be significantly accelerated by turpentine oil and was related to the water content in the system. An in vivo pharmacokinetic study showed a 2-fold increase in Cmax and a shortened Tmax as well as a comparable relative bioavailability when compared with the commercial flurbiprofen Cataplasms (Zepolas®). With their superior dissolution, these flurbiprofen/HPβCD inclusion complexes prepared by SCF processing could provide improved applications for flurbiprofen.

J Pharm Biomed Anal 2016; 129:350-358.

Abstract
The influence of l-arginine on the complexing and solubilizing power of randomly-methylated-β-cyclodextrin (RameβCD) towards oxaprozin, a very poorly soluble anti-inflammatory drug, was examined. The interactions between the components were investigated both in solution, by phase-solubility analysis, and in the solid state, by differential scanning calorimetry, FTIR and X-ray powder diffractometry. The morphology of the solid products was examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy. Results of phase-solubility studies indicated that addition of arginine enhanced the RameβCD complexing and solubilizing power of about 3.0 and 4.5 times, respectively, in comparison with the binary complex (both at pH≈6.8). The effect of arginine was not simply additive, but synergistic, being the ternary system solubility higher than the sum of those of the respective drug-CD and drug-arginine binary systems. Solid equimolar ternary systems were prepared by physical mixing, co-grinding, coevaporation and kneading techniques, to explore the effect of the preparation method on the physicochemical properties of the final products. The ternary co-ground product exhibited a dramatic increase in both drug dissolution efficiency and percent dissolved at 60min, whose values (83.6 and 97.1, respectively) were about 3 times higher than the sum of those given by the respective drug-CD and drug-aminoacid binary systems. Therefore, the ternary co-ground system with arginine and RameβCD appears as a very valuable product for the development of new more effective delivery systems of oxaprozin, with improved safety and bioavailability.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to enhance the apparent solubility and dissolution properties of flurbiprofen through inclusion complexation with cyclodextrins. Especially, the efficacy of supercritical fluid technology as a preparative technique for the preparation of flurbiprofen-methyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes was evaluated. The complexes were prepared by supercritical carbon dioxide processing and were evaluated by solubility, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, practical yield, drug content estimation and in vitro dissolution studies. Computational molecular docking studies were conducted to study the possibility of molecular arrangement of inclusion complexes between flurbiprofen and methyl-β-cyclodextrin. The studies support the formation of stable molecular inclusion complexes between the drug and cyclodextrin in a 1:1 stoichiometry. In vitro dissolution studies showed that the dissolution properties of flurbiprofen were significantly enhanced by the binary mixtures prepared by supercritical carbon dioxide processing. The amount of flurbiprofen dissolved into solution alone was very low with 1.11±0.09% dissolving at the end of 60min, while the binary mixtures processed by supercritical carbon dioxide at 45°C and 200bar released 99.39±2.34% of the drug at the end of 30min. All the binary mixtures processed by supercritical carbon dioxide at 45°C exhibited a drug release of more than 80% within the first 10min irrespective of the pressure employed. The study demonstrated the single step, organic solvent-free supercritical carbon dioxide process as a promising approach for the preparation of inclusion complexes between flurbiprofen and methyl-β-cyclodextrin in solid-state.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to develop bilayer tablets of atorvastatin and atenolol that are characterized by initial fast-release of atorvastatin in the stomach and comply with the release requirements of sustained-release of atenolol. An amorphous, solvent evaporation inclusion complex of atorvastatin with β-cyclodextrin, present in 1 : 3 (drug/cyclodextrin) molar ratio, was employed in the fast-release layer to enhance the dissolution of atorvastatin. Xanthan gum and guar gum were integrated in the sustained-release layer. Bilayer tablets composed of sustained-release layer (10% w/w of xanthan gum and guar gum) and fast-release layer [1 : 3 (drug/cyclodextrin)] showed the desired release profile. The atorvastatin contained in the fast-release layer showed an initial fast-release of more than 60% of its drug content within 2 h, followed by sustained release of the atenolol for a period of 12 h. The pharmacokinetic study illustrated that the fast absorption and increased oral bioavailability of atorvastatin as well as therapeutic concentration of atenolol in blood were made available through adoption of formulation strategy of bilayer tablets. It can be concluded that the bilayer tablets of atorvastatin and atenolol can be successfully employed for the treatment of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia together through oral administration of single tablet.

The aim of this study was to improve the solubility and oral bioavailability of clozapine (CLZ), a poorly water-soluble drug subjected to substantial first-pass metabolism, employing cyclodextrin complexation technique. The inclusion complexes were prepared by an evaporation method. Phase solubility studies, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray powder diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to evaluate the complexation of CLZ with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) and the formation of true inclusion complexes. Characterization and dissolution studies were carried out to evaluate the orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) containing CLZ/HP-β-CD complexes prepared by direct compression. Finally, the bioavailability studies of the prepared ODTs were performed by oral administration to rabbits. The ODTs showed a higher in vitro dissolution rate and bioavailability compared with the commercial tablets. It is evident from the results herein that the developed ODTs provide a promising drug delivery system in drug development, owing to their excellent performance of a rapid onset of action, improved bioavailability, and good patient compliance.

Abstract
A method was developed to monitor the hydration of a tablet surface using chemical functional groups able to bind atmospheric water through H-bonding. In this study, generic oral dissolving loratadine tablets were used. These tablets have relatively high mannitol and lactose concentrations. Both mannitol and lactose have C-OH alcohol functional groups, several of which are potentially available for H-bonding with atmospheric water. The Raman intensity of the alcohol functional groups decreases upon hydration. This observation can be used to indirectly monitor water adsorbed to tablet surfaces at the alcohol sites. The hydration assay is based on the change in the Raman peak intensity of the alcohol C-OH stretching at 875.5 cm(-1). Consequently the decrease in the Raman intensity of this vibration can be used to monitor water adsorption. The Raman measurement of tablet surface water was compared to the direct moisture measurement method using a microbalance. The Raman spectroscopy is used to monitor the water that is specifically bound to the C-OH alcohol functional groups available for hydration. The microbalance was used to monitor the tablets' weight change during water adsorption and desorption. The distribution of the ratio of the Raman intensity of C-OH peak at 875.5 cm(-1) divided by the intensity of loratadine's C-Cl peak at 712.6 cm(-1) was experimentally determined to be a Gaussian distribution with a mean of 3.22+/-0.277. Raman analysis indicates that there is both tightly and loosely bound water at the tablet surface. This can be a useful technique with regard to inspecting and controlling the tablet drying process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flurbiprofen, an NSAID, is used for the treatment of inflammation and pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis as well as soft-tissue injuries. A new orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) of flurbiprofen has recently been developed; this study was conducted to provide support for this drug to obtain marketing authorization in China. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to compare the pharmacokinetic properties and bioequivalence of flurbiprofen 50-mg ODT (test) with a conventional flurbiprofen 50-mg tablet (reference) under fasting conditions in healthy volunteers. METHODS This was a single-dose, randomized-sequence, open-label, 2-period crossover study. Healthy, nonsmoking Chinese male volunteers were randomly assigned to receive 150 mg (administered as three 50-mg tablets) of either the test or reference formulation of flurbiprofen, followed by a 7-day washout period and administration of the alternate formulation. Study drugs were administered after a 12-hour overnight fast. Blood samples were collected before dosing and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours after dosing. Serum flurbiprofen concentrations were analyzed using a validated nonstereospecific liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method. Pharmacokinetic parameters, including C(max), T(max), t(1/2), AUC(0-24), and AUC(0-infinity), were calculated and analyzed statistically. C(max), AUC(0-24), and AUC(0-infinity) were used to test for bioequivalence after natural logarithm (ln)-transformation. Tolerability was evaluated throughout the study by clinical assessments, vital sign monitoring, physical examinations, 12-lead ECG, clinical laboratory tests, and questioning subjects about adverse events (AEs). RESULTS A total of 20 Chinese males (mean [SD] age, 21.4 [2.5] years [range, 19-28 years]; height, 174.4 [4.2] cm [range, 169-183 cm]; weight, 63.2 [5.1] kg [range, 56-78 kg]; body mass index, 20.8 [1.4] kg/m(2) [range, 19-24 kg/m(2)]) completed the study. No period or sequence effect was observed. The 90% CIs for the ln-transformed ratios of Cmax, AUC(0-24), and AUC(0-infinity) were 99.9% to 115.9%, 97.8% to 107.9%, and 100.3% to 110.9%, respectively, meeting the predetermined criteria for bioequivalence. Two subjects (10.0%) experienced 1 of 2 mild AEs (increase in total bilirubin and dizziness), which were not considered to be associated with study drug administration. CONCLUSIONS This single-dose 150-mg (three 50-mg tablets) study of each formulation of flurbiprofen found that the test and reference products met the regulatory criteria for bioequivalence in these fasting healthy Chinese male volunteers. Both formulations were generally well tolerated. State Food and Drug Administration of China study registration number: 2005L04356.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to develop new directly compressed, double-layer tablets (DLTs) of lornoxicam, a highly potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with short half-life, that are characterized by initial burst drug release in the stomach and comply with the release requirements of sustained-release products. Each of the proposed DLTs is composed of a fast-release layer and a sustained-release layer, anticipating rapid drug release that starts in the stomach to rapidly alleviate the symptoms and continues in the intestine to maintain protracted analgesic effect. An amorphous, freeze-dried inclusion complex of lornoxicam with hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin, present in 1:2 (drug/cyclodextrin) molar ratio, was employed in the fast-release layer to enhance the dissolution of lornoxicam in the stomach and assure rapid onset of its analgesic effect. Xanthan gum (XG), a hydrophilic matrix-forming agent, was integrated in the sustained-release layer to provide appropriate sustainment of drug release. The weight ratios between the sustained-release layer and fast-release layer present in DLTs were adjusted to reach optimal formulations. DLTs composed of sustained-release layer (40% XG) to fast-release layer in 2:1 weight ratio and those composed of sustained-release layer (50% XG) to fast-release layer in 1:1 weight ratio showed the desired release profile. The drug contained in the fast-release layer showed an initial burst drug release of more than 30% of its drug content during the first 30 min of the release study followed by gradual release of the drug for a period of 8 h.

Inclusion complexes of tadalafil with natural and chemically modified beta-cyclodextrins. I: preparation and in-vitro evaluation. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2008; 70:819-27. [PMID: 18655829 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2008.06.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 107] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2008] [Revised: 06/12/2008] [Accepted: 06/13/2008] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the inclusion complexation between tadalafil, a practically insoluble selective phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (PDE5), and two chemically modified beta-cyclodextrins: hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) and heptakis-[2,6-di-O-methyl]-beta-cyclodextrin (DM-beta-CD), in comparison with the natural beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) in order to improve the solubility and the dissolution rate of the drug in an attempt to enhance its bioavailability. Inclusion complexation was investigated in both the solution and the solid state. The UV spectral shift method indicated guest-host complex formation between tadalafil and the three cyclodextrins (CDs). The phase solubility profiles with all the used CDs were classified as A(p)-type, indicating the formation of higher order complexes. The complexation efficiency values (CE), which reflect the solubilizing power of the CDs towards the drug, could be arranged in the following order: DM-beta-CD>HP-beta-CD>beta-CD. Solid binary systems of tadalafil with CDs were prepared by kneading and freeze-drying techniques at molar ratios of 1:1, 1:3 and 1:5 (drug to CD). Physical mixtures were prepared in the same molar ratios for comparison. Physicochemical characterization of the prepared systems at molar ratio of 1:5 was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed the formation of true inclusion complexes between the drug and both HP-beta-CD and DM-beta-CD using the freeze-drying method at molar ratio of 1:5. In contrast, crystalline drug was detectable in all other products. The dissolution of tadalafil from all the prepared binary systems was carried out to determine the most appropriate CD type, molar ratio, and preparation technique to prepare inclusion complexes to be used in the development of tablet formulation for oral delivery of tadalafil. The dissolution enhancement was increased on increasing the CD proportion in all the prepared systems. Both the CD type and the preparation technique played an important role in the performance of the system. Irrespective of the preparation technique, the systems prepared using HP-beta-CD and DM-beta-CD yielded better performance than the corresponding ones prepared using beta-CD. In addition, the freeze-drying technique showed superior dissolution enhancement than other methods especially when combined with the beta-CD derivatives.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to explore the utility of beta cyclodextrin (betaCD) and beta cyclodextrin derivatives (hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin [HPbetaCD], sulfobutylether-beta-CD [SBbetaCD], and a randomly methylated-beta-CD [RMbetaCD]) to form inclusion complexes with the antitumoral drug, beta-lapachone (betaLAP), in order to overcome the problem of its poor water solubility. RMbetaCD presented the highest efficiency for betaLAP solubilization and was selected to develop solid-state binary systems. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and optical and scanning electron microscopy results suggest the formation of inclusion complexes by both freeze-drying and kneading techniques with a dramatic improvement in drug dissolution efficiency at 20-minute dissolution efficiency (DE(20-minute) 67.15% and 88.22%, respectively) against the drug (DE(20-minute) 27.11%) or the betaCD/drug physical mixture (DE(20-minute) 27.22%). However, the kneading method gives a highly crystalline material that together with the adequate drug dissolution profile make it the best procedure in obtaining inclusion complexes of RMbetaCD/betaLAP convenient for different applications of betaLAP.
