Abstract
Targeted delivery of drug molecules to diseased sites is a great challenge in pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences. Fabrication of drug delivery systems (DDS) to target and/or diagnose sick cells is an effective means to achieve good therapeutic results along with a minimal toxicological impact on healthy cells. Biopolymers are becoming an important class of materials owing to their biodegradability, good compatibility, non-toxicity, non-immunogenicity, and long blood circulation time and high drug loading ratio for both macros as well as micro-sized drug molecules. This review summarizes the recent trends in biopolymer-based DDS, forecasting their broad future clinical applications. Cellulose chitosan, starch, silk fibroins, collagen, albumin, gelatin, alginate, agar, proteins and peptides have shown potential applications in DDS. A range of synthetic techniques have been reported to design the DDS and are discussed in the current study which is being successfully employed in ocular, dental, transdermal and intranasal delivery systems. Different formulations of DDS are also overviewed in this review article along with synthesis techniques employed for designing the DDS. The possibility of these biopolymer applications points to a new route for creating unique DDS with enhanced therapeutic qualities for scaling up creative formulations up to the clinical level.

Anti-inflammatory effect evaluation of naringenin and its incorporation into a chitosan-based film for transdermal delivery. Int J Pharm 2022; 627:122231. [PMID: 36167188 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.122231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 09/03/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Naringenin is a bioflavonoid mainly found in citrus fruits. It presents many pharmacological benefits, including a remarkable anti-inflammatory activity, but its oral bioavailability is poor. To overcome this drawback, this work proposes a transdermal administration of such bioflavonoid, considering its use in the chronic treatment of inflammatory conditions. For this, it aims to develop a chitosan-based film that guarantees a consistent transdermal delivery of the drug. First, naringenin's in vitro anti-inflammatory effect on T-cell proliferation was evaluated, followed by research on the modulation of gene expression for inflammatory factors in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Chitosan films were then prepared and characterized. Afterward, naringenin release profile from a selected film was determined as well as the drug permeation across porcine skin provided by the film. Naringenin induced the expression of the anti-inflammatory factors IL-10 and TGF-β1 while inhibiting the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β and limiting T-cell proliferation. The chitosan film was successfully developed, and the drug was progressively released to the physiological media following both first order and Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetics. When topically applied, the chitosan film guaranteed a constant and continuous diffusion of naringenin across the skin over 72 h. Indeed, the permeation flux of naringenin was 0.30 ± 0.01 µg/cm2/h, which means a concentration in the receptor solution 14-fold (p < 0.05) higher than that provided by the drug solution. Thus, the chitosan film represents a promising transdermal alternative for the long-term treatment of inflammatory conditions using naringenin.

Abstract
Thermosensitive hydrogels are of great interest for in situ gelling drug delivery. The thermosensitive vehicle with a gelation temperature in a range of 30-36°C would be convenient to be injected as liquid and transform into gel after injection. To prepare novel hydrogels gelling near body temperature, the gelation temperature of poloxamer 407 (PX) were tailored by mixing PX with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA). The gelation behaviors of PX/PAA systems as well as the interaction mechanism were investigated by tube inversion, viscoelastic, shear viscosity, DSC, SEM, and FTIR studies. The gelation temperature of the plain PX solutions at high concentration of 18, 20, and 22% (w/w) gelled at temperature below 28°C, which is out of the suitable temperature range. Mixing PX with PAA to obtain 18 and 20% (w/w) PX with 1% (w/w) PAA increased the gelation temperature to the desired temperature range of 30-36°C. The intermolecular entanglements and hydrogen bonds between PX and PAA may be responsible for the modulation of the gelation features of PX. The mixtures behaved low viscosity liquid at room temperature with shear thinning behavior enabling their injectability and rapidly gelled at body temperature. The gel strength increased, while the pore size decreased with increasing PX concentration. Metronidazole, an antibiotic used for periodontitis, was incorporated into the matrices, and the drug did not hinder their gelling ability. The gels showed the sustained drug release characteristic. The thermosensitive PX/PAA hydrogel could be a promising injectable in situ gelling system for periodontal drug delivery.

Abstract
The efficacy of oral risperidone treatment in prevention of schizophrenia is well known. However, oral side effects and patient compliance is always a problem for schizophrenics. In this study, risperidone was formulated into matrix transdermal patches to overcome these problems. The formulation factors for such patches, including eudragit RL 100 and eudragit RS 100 as matrix forming polymers, olive oil, groundnut oil and jojoba oil in different concentrations as enhancers and amount of drug loaded were investigated. The transdermal patches containing risperidone were prepared by solvent casting method and characterized for physicochemical and in vitro permeation studies through excised rat skin. Among the tested preparations, formulations with 20% risperidone, 3:2 ERL 100 and ERS 100 as polymers, mixture of olive oil and jojoba oil as enhancer, exhibited greatest cumulative amount of drug permeated (1.87 ± 0.09 mg/cm(2)) in 72 h, so batch ROJ was concluded as optimized formulation and assessed for pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and skin irritation potential. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of the optimized risperidone patch were determined using rabbits, while orally administered risperidone in solution was used for comparison. The calculated relative bioavailability of risperidone transdermal patch was 115.20% with prolonged release of drug. Neuroleptic efficacy of transdermal formulation was assessed by rota-rod and grip test in comparison with control and marketed oral formulations with no skin irritation. This suggests the transdermal application of risperidone holds promise for improved bioavailability and better management of schizophrenia in long-term basis.
