A double-layered gastric floating tablet for zero-order controlled release of dihydromyricetin: Design, development, and in vitro/in vivo evaluation. Int J Pharm 2023; 638:122929. [PMID: 37028570 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.122929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2023] [Indexed: 04/07/2023]
Abstract
Dihydromyricetin (DHM) is an important natural flavonoid. However, most of DHM preparations have shown shortcomings such as low drug loading, poor drug stability, and/or large fluctuations in blood concentration. This study aimed to develop a gastric floating tablet with a double-layered structure for zero-order controlled release of DHM (DHM@GF-DLT). The final product DHM@GF-DLT showed a high average cumulative drug release at 24 h that best fit the zero-order model, and had a good floating ability in the stomach of the rabbit with a gastric retention time of over 24 h. The FTIR, DSC, and XRPD analyses indicated the good compatibility among the drug and the excipients in DHM@GF-DLT. The pharmacokinetic study revealed that DHM@GF-DLT could prolong the retention time of DHM, reduce the fluctuation of blood drug concentration, and enhance the bioavailability of DHM. The pharmacodynamic studies demonstrated that DHM@GF-DLT had a potent and long-term therapeutic effect on systemic inflammation in rabbits. Therefore, DHM@GF-DLT had the potential to serve as a promising anti-inflammatory agent and may develop into a once-a-day preparation, which was favorable to maintain a steady blood drug concentration and a long-term drug efficacy. Our research provided a promising development strategy for DHM and other natural products with a similar structure to DHM for improving their bioavailability and therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Hollow structures have demonstrated great potential in drug delivery owing to their privileged structure, such as high surface-to-volume ratio, low density, large cavities, and hierarchical pores. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of hollow structured materials applied in targeting recognition, smart response, and drug release, and we have addressed the possible chemical factors and reactions in these three processes. The advantages of hollow nanostructures are summarized as follows: hollow cavity contributes to large loading capacity; a tailored structure helps controllable drug release; variable compounds adapt to flexible application; surface modification facilitates smart responsive release. Especially, because the multiple physical barriers and chemical interactions can be induced by multishells, hollow multishelled structure is considered as a promising material with unique loading and releasing properties. Finally, we conclude this review with some perspectives on the future research and development of the hollow structures as drug carriers.

Abstract
The main aim of this research work was to develop and evaluate a drug delivery system with compression coating technology to control drug release at a constant rate. The compression coated tablets (CCTs) consist of the hydrophilic matrix core and the hydrophobic waxy coating. The presence of hydrophobic waxy coating could provide sufficient time for hydration of the core to prevent initial burst release. The mechanism research revealed that erosion was the main way of drug release and the releasing area was constant during the entire release process because the core tablet was located in the cup-shaped coating after one side cover was dropped at the lag time. This made the release behavior exhibit zero-order kinetics (R2>0.99). The coating rupture strength and the core swelling force at the lag time influenced erosion rate thus affecting release rate. Different solubility of drugs (propranolol hydrochloride, melatonin, and nifedipine) was selected as model drugs and the properties of the prepared CCTs in terms of formulations and in vitro release were evaluated. The release rate was independent of solubility, medium pH, and osmotic pressure. This zero-order controlled system could be applied to both controlled drug delivery and chrono pharmaceutical drug delivery.

Abstract
Gossypol (Gos) is a natural polyphenolic compound that has shown a number of valuable biological properties such as antifertility, antioxidation, and antitumor activities. However, the clinical application of Gos has been hindered by its notable adverse effects such as hypokalemia, hemolytic anemia, and so on. Using sustained-release dosage form provides a hopeful solution to this problem. In this study, a gastric floating tablet for sustained-release of Gos (Gos-GFT) was developed using polyvinylpyrrolidone, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, lactose, sodium bicarbonate, and magnesium stearate. Gos-GFT had an average weight of around 200 mg with a drug content percentage of around 13.66%. The physicochemical properties of Gos-GFT satisfied the pharmacopoeial requirements for tablets. Gos-GFT was able to float in an acidic medium and had a sustained drug release for over 12 h. In vivo studies showed that the relative bioavailability of Gos-GFT, as compared with Gos powders, was larger than that of a non-gastric floating tablet which was a dosage form used for comparison with Gos-GFT. Furthermore, compared with the Gos powders and the non-gastric floating Gos tablets, Gos-GFT could prolong the in vivo action time of Gos, and significantly relieve hypokalemia which is a major adverse effect of Gos. These properties made Gos-GFT a promising Gos preparation that warrants further investigation for more extensive clinical applications of this natural compound.

Abstract
Metformin has several problems such as low bioavailability, short half-life, and narrow absorption window, sustained and site-specific drug delivery system is required. Floating drug delivery systems are very useful to achieve these purposes. However, conventional floating systems have several limitations; lag time, a high proportion of excipient in the tablet, using non-biocompatible excipient, and requirement of a complicated procedure. To overcome these obstacles, we developed a hollow-core floating tablet (HCFT). The HCFT immediately floated in pH 1.2, 4.0, 6.8 medium, and even distilled water. The floating duration time of HCFT was>24 h. From the in vitro release study, it was confirmed that HCFT showed the sustain release profile of metformin for 12 h. Water uptake and matrix erosion were evaluated for predicting the buoyancy and drug release kinetics of HCFT in the body. Factor analysis was applied to optimize the formulation. There were significant (p < 0.05) differences in metformin plasma concentration of 4 h and 6 h between two groups. Compared with Glucophage® XR, the relative bioavailability of metformin HCFT was 123.81 ± 3.52%. The X-ray imaging of optimized formulation revealed that HCFT was constantly floating in the stomach region of the rabbit, thereby indicating improved gastric retention for>6 h. Consequently, all the findings indicate that HCFT could be an effective gastric retention system and applied extensively to other drugs with narrow absorption windows.

Abstract
The current work aimed to develop low-density gastroretentive sponges loaded with alfuzosin HCl (ALF) to sustain the rate of drug release, improve its oral bioavailability and deliver it to the main site of absorption. Sponges were developed, according to a 23 full factorial design, by compression of the lyophilized ALF-loaded hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) or chitosan (CH) solutions. The influences of the polymer type, grade and concentration on the appearance, topography, porosity, density, in vitro ALF release, floating behavior, swelling, erosion, and mucoadhesive potential of the developed sponges were explored. Based on the desirability value, the best achieved system was selected. The gastroretentive potential of this system was evaluated in healthy male volunteers via MRI. Soft and flexible sponges were developed. They were characterized with interconnecting pores and channels and had excellent floating properties with respect to floating lag time and duration. Compared to HPMC-based sponges, CH-based ones exhibited higher porosity, larger pore diameters, lower bulk densities, higher drug release rates, larger swelling ratios, faster erosion rates and better mucoadhesive properties. MRI of magnetite-loaded best-achieved CH-based system (F8) ascertained the development of a promising gastroretentive system; exhibiting a gastric residence period of at least 5 h.

Abstract
Dihydromyricetin (DHM) is a natural dihydroflavonol compound with quite a number of important pharmacological properties. However, its low solubility in water and poor stability in aqueous environment, have compromised drug efficacy of DHM, thus hindering its clinical use. The present study was to develop DHM-loaded gastric floating sustained-release tablet (DHM-GFT) to improve the bioavailability of DHM. DHM-GFT was prepared via powder direct compression. The formulation of tablet was optimized in terms of the floating ability and drug release rate. The optimized DHM-GFT exhibited short floating lag time of less than 10 s and long floating duration of over 12 h in acidic medium. It had a 12-hour sustained release of DHM, which proved its potential to develop as a twice-a-day dosing preparation. The physicochemical properties of DHM-GFT well satisfied the pharmacopoeial requirements. In addition, the results from pharmacokinetic studies demonstrated that, DHM-GFT could considerably prolong the in vivo residence time of drug and improve the bioavailability via good gastric floating ability and sustained drug release when compared to DHM powder. Therefore, DHM-GFT is promising to promote the application of DHM and merits studies for further development.
