Int J Pharm X 2023; 6:100211. [PMID: 37736236 PMCID: PMC10510083 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpx.2023.100211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Chrysin (CR) is a water-insoluble drug reported for different therapeutic effects. The microwave irradiation method was used in this study to create a multicomponent inclusion complex (CR-MC) containing CR (drug) and carrier hydroxyl propyl beta cyclodextrin (HP β CD) and L-arginine (LA). The prepared inclusion complex (CR-MC) was evaluated for dissolution study and results were compared with chrysin physical mixture (CR-PM). Further, the samples were assessed for infra-red (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and molecular docking. Finally, the cell viability, reactive oxygen species and flow cytometer studies were also assessed to check the potential of the prepared inclusion complex on the human primary glioblastoma cell line (U87-MG cell). The phase solubility findings revealed a stability constant (773 mol L-1) as well as a complexation efficiency of 0.027. The dissolution study displayed a significant increase in CR release from CR-MC (99.03 ± 0.39%) > CR-PM (70.58 ± 1.16%) > pure CR (35.29 ± 1.55%). NMR and IR spectral data revealed no interaction between CR and carriers. SEM and DSC study results revealed the conversion into amorphous form. The molecular docking results illustrated a high docking score, which supports the findings of complex formation. The cell viability, reactive oxygen species, and flow cytometry studies results showed enhanced activity from CR-MC against the tested human primary glioblastoma cell line. From the results it has been observed that chrysin solubility significantly increased after complexation and there in vitro activity also enhanced against cancer cell line.

Beran K, Hermans E, Holm R, Sepassi K, Dressman J. Projection of Target Drug Particle Size in Oral Formulations Using the Refined Developability Classification System (rDCS). Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:1909.

Abstract
Dissolution limitations to oral absorption can occur if the time required for dissolution is longer than the transit time across the small intestine and/or if dissolution is slower than the drug's permeation through the gut wall. These limitations most often occur for poorly soluble drugs. A standard method for overcoming dissolution issues is to reduce the particle size of the (solid) drug. Building on the refined Developability Classification System (rDCS), this work establishes a novel set of equations with which the appropriate degree of particle size reduction needed to mitigate dissolution limitations to absorption can be calculated. According to the type of data available, the appropriate equation(s) for each situation can be applied. Three case examples are used to illustrate implementation of the equations: voriconazole, lemborexant and istradefylline. Although for voriconazole (rDCS Class I) target radius (rtarget) estimates indicate that particle size reduction is unnecessary, for lemborexant (rDCS Class I) a radius of ≤20 µm would be required to improve absorption. For istradefylline (rDCS Class IIb) the rtarget was approximately 12 µm. Results are commensurate with literature information for these three drugs, signaling that the equations are suitable for application to a wide variety of drug substances.

Abstract
The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) on the complexation efficiency and dissolution of piperine (PPR) and β cyclodextrin (β CD) complex. The binary and ternary inclusion complexes were prepared using solvent evaporation and microwave irradiation methods. The samples were further evaluated for physicochemical evaluation, morphology, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities. The binary and ternary samples showed high stability constant (Ks) value and complexation efficiency (CE). The dissolution study results revealed marked enhancement in the release of the binary inclusion complex and ternary inclusion complex compared to pure PPR. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and molecular docking results confirm the complex formation. X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) data revealed modification in the structure of PPR. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging and antimicrobial results showed enhanced activity in the PPR complex in comparison to pure PPR. In conclusion, a remarkable enhancement in dissolution, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were attained due to marked improvement in solubility through complexation of PPR with HPMC/β CD.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to improve the aqueous solubility, dissolution, and antioxidant activity of the water-insoluble drug piperine (PIP). The study was performed by preparing PIP binary inclusion complex (PIP BIC) and piperine ternary inclusion complex (PIP TIC) by different methods. The effect of a hydrophilic auxiliary substance (TPGS) was assessed with addition to PIP and hydroxypropyl beta cyclodextrin (HP β CD) complex. The phase solubility study was performed to evaluate the complexation efficiency and stability constant. The aqueous solubility, dissolution, physicochemical assessment, antioxidant activity, antimicrobial activity, and molecular docking were further evaluated to check the effect of the complexation of PIP. The stability constant (Ks) value was found to be 238 and 461 M−1 for the binary and ternary inclusion complex. The dissolution study results showed a marked enhancement of release in comparison to pure drug. XRD and SEM studies revealed the presence of more agglomerated and amorphous structures of PIP, which confirmed the formation of complexes. The results of DPPH radical scavenging and antimicrobial activity showed a significant (p < 0.05) enhancement in scavenging activity for PIP TIC (microwave irradiation (MI)). The docking studies have revealed that the binding affinity of TPGS at the PIP-HP β CD complex was −5.2 kcal/mol.

Intrinsic Dissolution Rate Profiling of Poorly Water-Soluble Compounds in Biorelevant Dissolution Media. Pharmaceutics 2020; 12:pharmaceutics12060493.

Abstract
The intrinsic dissolution rate (IDR) of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) is a key property that aids in early drug development, especially selecting formulation strategies to improve dissolution and thereby drug absorption in the intestine. Here, we developed a robust method for rapid, medium throughput screening of IDR and established the largest IDR dataset in open literature to date that can be used for pharmaceutical computational modeling. Eighteen compounds with diverse physicochemical properties were studied in both fasted and fed state simulated intestinal fluids. Dissolution profiles were measured in small-scale experimental assays using compound suspensions or discs. IDR measurements were not solely linked to API solubility in either dissolution media. Multivariate data analysis revealed that IDR strongly depends on compound partitioning into bile salt and phospholipid micelles in the simulated intestinal fluids, a process that in turn is governed by API lipophilicity, hydrophobicity, and ionization.

Abstract
A 2,6-diiodo-3,5-dithienylvinyleneBODIPY dye was prepared and encapsulated with folate-chitosan capped Pluronic[Formula: see text] F-127 to provide drug delivery systems for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Moderately enhanced singlet oxygen quantum yields were observed for the dye encapsulation complexes in water. The in vitro dark cytotoxicity and photodynamic activity were investigated on the human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cell line. Minimal dark cytotoxicity was observed for the BODIPY dyes in 5% DMSO and when encapsulated in folate-functionalized chitosan-coated Pluronic[Formula: see text] F-127 micelles, since the cell viability values are consistently greater than 80% over the 0-40 [Formula: see text] concentration range. Upon irradiation of the samples, significant cytocidal activity was observed for the encapsulation complex of a 2,6-diiodo-8-dimethylaminophenyl-3,5-dithienylvinyleneBODIPY dye with less than 50% viable cells observed at concentrations [Formula: see text].

Abstract
The aim of this study was the development of griseofulvin (GRI) loaded β-cyclodextrin (β–CD) based nanosponges for bitter taste masking, improving dissolution rate and oral bioavailability. Plain NS (NS1 NS2 and NS3) were fabricated by reacting β-CD with the cross-linker diphenyl carbonate at different molar ratios (1:2, 1:4 and 1:6, respectively) using ultrasonication method. The NS2 provided both highest %yield and GRI solubilization enhancement. Thus, the drug was loaded in NS2 at different NS2: drug weight ratios in presence or absence of 0.25%w/w polyvinylpyrolidone (PVP k30). The GRI loaded NS (F1) that provided highest drug loading capacity and entrapment efficiency (47.20 ± 0.38%, 84.91 ± 0.30%, respectively) was morphologically examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Also, Particle size, zeta potential, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, in-vitro release, taste masking potential were evaluated. Moreover, in-vivo Pharmacokinetic studies were performed on rats. The F1 showed particle size 665.9 ± 13.8 nm and zeta potential −21.5 ± 0.7 mV. The DSC and FT-IR analysis confirmed the complexation of GRI with NS2. Nanosponges (F1) provided 3.19, folds increase in dissolution efficiency %, 2.13 and 3.78 folds increase in Cmax and AUC0-48 compared to plain GRI. Taste masking evaluation confirmed the potential of GRI nanosponges (F1) in masking the bitter taste of GRI completely. The study confirmed that complexation of GRI with NS would be a viable approach for masking the bitter taste of GRI and improving oral bioavailability, that Cmax, Tmax and AUC 0–48 were significantly higher for the developed formulation (F1).

Abstract
In this work, we aimed to improve the encapsulation efficiency of sepiapterin (SP), the natural precursor of the essential cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) that displays mild water-solubility and a short biological half-life, within methoxy-poly(ethylene-glycol)-poly(epsilon-caprolactone)(mPEG-PCL) nanoparticles (NPs) by means of its complexation and hydrophobization with 2,3,6-triacetyl-β-cyclodextrin (TAβCD). For this, SP/TAβCD complexes were produced by spray-drying of SP/TAβCD binary solutions in ethanol using the Nano Spray Dryer B-90 HP. Dry powders were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and transmission and scanning electron microscopy (TEM and SEM, respectively) and compared to the pristine components and their physical mixtures (PMs). Next, SP was encapsulated within mPEG-PCL NPs by nano-precipitation of an SP/TAβCD complex/mPEG-PCL solution. In addition to the nano-encapsulation of a preformed complex within the polymeric NPs, we assessed an alternative encapsulation approach called drying with copolymer (DWC) in which pristine SP, TAβCD, and mPEG-PCL were co-dissolved in a mixture of acetone and methanol at the desired weight ratio, dried under vacuum, re-dissolved, and nano-precipitated in water. The dissolution-drying step was aimed to promote the formation of molecular hydrophobic interactions between SP, TAβCD, and the PCL blocks in the copolymer. SP-loaded mPEG-PCL NPs were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and SEM. NPs with a size of 74-75 nm and standard deviation (S.D., a measure of the peak width) of 21-22 nm were obtained when an SP:TAβCD (1:1 molar ratio) spray-dried complex was used for the nano-encapsulation and SEM analysis revealed the absence of free SP crystals. The encapsulation efficiency (%EE) and drug loading (%DL) were 85% and 2.6%, respectively, as opposed to the much lower values (14% and 0.6%, respectively) achieved with pristine SP. Moreover, the NPs sustained the SP release with relatively low burst effect of 20%. Overall, our results confirmed that spray-drying of SP/TAβCD solutions at the appropriate molar ratio leads to the hydrophobization of the relatively hydrophilic SP molecule, enabling its encapsulation within mPEG-PCL NPs and paves the way for the use of this strategy in the development of novel drug delivery systems of this vital biological precursor.

Abstract
Gemfibrozil (GEM) is cholesterol-lowering agent which is being proposed as poorly water soluble drug (PWSD). Temperature based solubility values of GEM are not yet available in literature or any pharmacopoeia/monograph. Hence, the present studies were carried out to determine the solubility of PWSD GEM (as mole fraction) in various pharmaceutically used solvents such as water (H2O), methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), isopropanol (IPA), 1-butanol (1-BuOH), 2-butanol (2-BuOH), ethylene glycol (EG), propylene glycol (PG), polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG-400), ethyl acetate (EA), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and Transcutol® (THP) at the temperatures ranging from T = 298.2 K-318.2 K under atmospheric pressure P = 0.1 MPa. Equilibrium/experimental solubilities of GEM were recorded by applying a saturation shake flask methodology and regressed using 'van't Hoff and Apelblat models'. Hansen solubility parameters for GEM and various pharmaceutically used solvents were estimated using HSPiP software. The solid states of GEM (both in pure and equilibrated states) were studied by 'Differential Scanning Calorimetry' which confirmed no transformation of GEM after equilibrium. Experimental solubilities of GEM in mole fraction were observed maximum in THP (1.81 × 10-1) followed by DMSO, PEG-400, EA, 1-BuOH, 2-BuOH, IPA, EtOH, PG, MeOH, EG and H2O (3.24 × 10-6) at T = 318.2 K and similar tendencies were also recorded at T = 298.2 K, T = 303.2 K, T = 308.2 K and T = 313.2 K. 'Apparent thermodynamic analysis' on experimental solubilities furnished 'endothermic and entropy-driven dissolution' of GEM in each pharmaceutically used solvent.

Abstract
Intrinsic dissolution rate (IDR) is the surface specific dissolution rate of a drug. In early drug development, this property (among other parameters) is measured in order to compare different polymorphs and salt forms, guide formulation decisions, and to provide a quality marker of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) during production. In this review, an update on different methods and small-scale techniques that have recently evolved for determination of IDR is provided. The importance of biorelevant media and the hydrodynamic conditions of dissolution are also discussed. Different preparation techniques for samples are presented with a focus on disc, particle- and crystal-based methods. A number of small-scale techniques are then described in detail, and their applicability domains are identified. Finally, an updated industrial perspective is provided about IDR's place in the early drug development process.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to improve the aqueous solubility, dissolution, and pharmacodynamic properties of a BCS class II drug, ezetimibe (Eze) by preparing ternary cyclodextrin complex systems. We investigated the potential synergistic effect of two novel hydrophilic auxiliary substances, D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) and L-ascorbic acid-2-glucoside (AA2G) on hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPBCD) solubilization of poorly water-soluble hypocholesterolemic drug, Eze. In solution state, the binary and ternary systems were analyzed by phase solubility studies and Job's plot. The solid complexes prepared by freeze-drying were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The log P values, aqueous solubility, dissolution, and antihypercholesterolemic activity of all systems were studied. The analytical techniques confirmed the formation of inclusion complexes in the binary and ternary systems. HPBCD complexation significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the log P and improved the solubility, dissolution, and hypocholesterolemic properties of Eze, and the addition of ternary component produced further significant improvement (p < 0.05) even compared to binary system. The remarkable reduction in log P and enhancement in solubility, dissolution, and antihypercholesterolemic activity due to the addition of TPGS or AA2G may be attributed to enhanced wetting, dispersibility, and complete amorphization. The use of TPGS or AA2G as ternary hydrophilic auxiliary substances improved the HPBCD solubilization and antihypercholesterolemic activity of Eze.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Drugs classified as class IV by the Biopharmaceutical Classification System present significant problems in relation to effective oral administration. In the case of antibiotics, the subsequently high doses required can enhance the emergence of microorganism resistance and lead to a low rate of patient treatment adherence. OBJECTIVE In an attempt to improve physicochemical properties and microbiological activity of norfloxacin, the aim of this study was to investigate different methods (coevaporation, kneading followed by freeze-drying or spray-drying) to obtain complexes of norfloxacin and different cyclodextrins. METHODS Guest-host interactions were investigated through a complete physical-chemical characterization and the dissolution profile and microbiological activity were determined. RESULTS The formation of a complex of norfloxacin and β-cyclodextrin (1:1), obtained by kneading followed by freeze drying, led to increased drug solubility, which could maximize the oral drug absorption. CONCLUSION Moreover, the microbiological activity was enhanced by around 23.3%, demonstrating that the complex formed could represent an efficient drug delivery system.

Abstract
Aim: The present research work was aimed to formulate and characterize psoralen-encapsulated cavamax W7 composite ethosomal gel and compare its in vitro and ex vivo behavior against psoralen-cavamax W7-complex reference gel. Materials and Methods: A total of nine formulations of composite ethosomes were prepared by injection method using 32 factorial design and entrapment efficiency was designated as dependent variable. Concomitantly, psoralen was complexed with cavamax W7 (1:1 molar ratio) by kneading method and formation of complex was confirmed by Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results: F9 with vesicle size of 183 ± 2.8 nm, and highest % entrapment efficiency of 98.12 ± 1.15 was selected as optimized formulation. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed uniform and spherical shaped vesicles. The optimized formulation F9 was formulated as carbapol gel and compared against ethosomal gel, psoralen gel, and psoralen cavamax W7 complex gel. The gels were evaluated for permeation characteristics and the rank order was composite ethosomal gel > ethosomal gel > psoralen-cavamax W7 complex gel > psoralen gel. The ethosomal gel (G5) with highest in vitro permeation of 82.48 ± 2.23% was subjected to in vivo Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) studies using rhodamine B as tracer. The penetration of rhodamine B was uniform, deeper, and two times faster into epidermis than control gel. Conclusion: Conclusively, cavamax W7 composite ethosomes present themselves as efficient carrier for superior topical delivery of psoralen and have potential for clinical applications in minimizing side effects associated with photosensitivity of psoralen.

Abstract
Although cyclodextrins (CDs) have been studied for over 100 years and can be found in at least 35 pharmaceutical products, they are still regarded as novel pharmaceutical excipients. CDs are oligosaccharides that possess biological properties that are similar to their linear counterparts, but some of their physicochemical properties differ. CDs are able to form water-soluble inclusion complexes with many poorly soluble lipophilic drugs. Thus, CDs are used to enhance the aqueous solubility of drugs and to improve drug bioavailability after, for example, oral administration. Through CD complexation, poorly soluble drugs can be formulated as aqueous parenteral solutions, nasal sprays and eye drop solutions. These oligosaccharides are being recognized as non-toxic and pharmacologically inactive excipients for both drug and food products. Recently, it has been observed that CDs and CD complexes in particular self-assemble to form nanoparticles and that, under certain conditions, these nanoparticles can self-assemble to form microparticles. These properties have changed the way we perform CD research and have given rise to new CD formulation opportunities. Here, the pharmaceutical applications of CDs are reviewed with an emphasis on their solubilizing properties, their tendency to self-assemble to form aggregates, CD ternary complexes, and their metabolism and pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides composed of D-glucopyranoside units linked by glycosidic bonds. Their main property is the ability to modify the physicochemical and biological characteristics of low-soluble drugs through the formation of drug:CD inclusion complexes. Inclusion complexation requires that host molecules fit completely or partially within the CD cavity. This adjustment is directly related to the physicochemical properties of the guest and host molecules, easy accommodation of guest molecules within the CD cavity, stoichiometry, therapeutic dose, and toxicity. However, dosage forms may achieve a high volume, depending on the amount of CD required. Thus, it is necessary to increase solubilization efficiency in order to use smaller amounts of CD. This can be achieved by adding small amounts of water-soluble polymers to the system. This review addresses aspects related to drug complexation with CDs using water-soluble polymers to optimize the amount of CD used in the formulation in order to increase drug solubility and reduce dosage form volume.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE High levels of cholesterol lead to atherosclerosis, a factor predisposing to the development of coronary artery disease. Statin drugs, i.e. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, have been known since the end of the last century for their benefits against cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases and are widely used clinically. This review aims at compiling the research inputs being made for developing therapeutically efficacious dosage forms that have the potential to surmount the limitations of conventional dosage forms of statins. KEY FINDINGS Statin drugs can reduce the endogenous synthesis of cholesterol and prevent the onset and development of atherosclerosis, and are therefore used as an effective treatment against primary hypercholesterolemia. At present, statin drugs are most often administered orally, on a daily basis. After administration, the bioavailability and the general circulation of statin drugs is fairly low due to the first-pass metabolism in the liver and clearance by the digestive system. Extensive pharmaceutical research in understanding the causes of low oral bioavailability has led to the development of novel technologies to address these challenges. SUMMARY These technologies vary from conventional dosage forms to nanoparticulate drug-delivery systems, and have the potential to cause improvements in bioavailability and consequently therapeutic efficacy.
