Formulation and pharmacodynamic evaluation of captopril sustained release microparticles

Cellulose propionate (CP) microparticles containing captopril (CAP) were prepared by solvent evaporation technique. The effects of polymer molecular weight, polymer composition and drug:polymer ratios on the particle size, flow properties, morphology, surface properties and release characteristics of the prepared captopril microparticles were examined. The anti-hypertensive effect of the selected CAP formulation in comparison with aqueous drug solution was also evaluated in vivo using hypertensive rats. The formulation containing drug:polymer blend ratio 1:1.5 (1:1 low:high molecular weight CP), namely F7, was chosen as the selected formulation with regard to the encapsulation efficiency (75.1%), flow properties (theta=24 degrees, Carr index=5%, Hausner ratio=1.1, packing rate=0.535) and release characteristics. Initial burst effect was observed in the release profile of all examined formulations. DSC and SEM results indicated that the initial burst effect could be attributed to dissolution of CAP crystals present on the surface or embedded in the superficial layer of the matrix. The release kinetics of CAP from most microparticle formulations followed diffusion mechanism. After oral administration of the selected microparticle formulation (F7) to hypertensive rats, systolic blood pressure decreased gradually over 24 h compared to reference drug solution. These results may suggest the potential application of cellulose propionate microparticles as a suitable sustained release drug delivery system for captopril.

Properties of bioadhesive ketoprofen liquid suppositories: preparation,determination of gelation temperature,viscosity studies and evaluation of mechanical properties using texture analyzer by 4 × 4 factorial design

Abstract

Context: Development and evaluation of thermosensitive and bioadhesive liquid suppositories containing ketoprofen (KP).

Objective: This study was conducted to develope thermosensitive and bioadhesive liquid suppositories containing KP using poloxamer and different bioadhesive polymers and to investigate their gelation temperature, viscosity and mechanical properties.

Materials and methods: Bioadhesive liquid suppositories were prepared by the cold method using poloxamer 407 (P 407), Poloxamer 188 (P 188) and various amounts of different bioadhesive polymers. Their gelation temperatures, viscosity values and mechanical properties were determined using texture analyzer by 4?×?4 factorial design.

Results: It was seen that in presence of KP, gelation temperature of formulation P 407/P 188 (4/20%) significantly decreased from 64 to 37.1?°C. It is to be noted that addition of increasing concentrations of bioadhesive polymers lowered gelation temperature and its decrease was highest with addition of Carbopol 934 P (C). Results of texture profile analysis (TPA) showed that formulations containing C have significantly higher hardness and adhesiveness values than other bioadhesive formulations. According to TPA, gel structure of liquid suppository formulation F5, containing P 407/P 188/KP/C (4/20/2.5/0.8%), exhibited the greatest hardness, compressibilty, adhesiveness and besides greatest viscosity.

Discussion and conclusion: According to mechanical properties and viscosity values, it was concluded that F5 could be a promising formulation.     

Development of nanosomes using high‐pressure homogenization for gene therapy

Objectives The aim of this project was to develop a novel lipid‐based formulation suitable for gene therapy. Methods Novel nanosize liposome (nanosome) formulations containing pDNA (plasmid DNA) were developed using high‐pressure homogenization (HPH). The effect of lipid concentration was studied at two levels: 3 mm and 20 mm . The preformed nanosomes were incubated for 18–20 h with pDNA or pDNA/protamine sulfate (PS) complex. The physical properties of the pDNA nanosomes were compared by particle size distribution and zeta‐potential measurements. Their biological properties were also compared by pDNA efficiency of encapsulation/complexation, integrity, nuclease digestion, transfection efficiency and cell cytotoxicity. Key findings pDNA nanosomes prepared with 20 mm lipid (nanosomes : pDNA : PS at a ratio of 8.6 : 1 : 2) had particle sizes of 170–422 nm (90% confidence). The zeta‐potential of the formulation was 49.2 ± 1.5 mV, and the pDNA encapsulation/complexation efficiency was ～98%. pDNA nanosomes prepared with 3 mm lipid (nanosomes : pDNA : PS at a ratio of 2.09 : 1 : 2) had particle sizes of 140–263 nm (90% confidence). The zeta‐potential of this formulation was 36.4 ± 1.2 mV, and the pDNA encapsulation/complexation efficiency was ～100%. However, a comparison of the efficiency of transfection indicated that pDNA nanosomes prepared with low‐concentration lipids (3 mm ) showed significantly higher transfection efficiency compared with the pDNA nanosomes prepared with high‐concentration lipids (20 mm ), as well as those prepared with Fugene‐6 (a commercially available transfection reagent). This particular formulation (pDNA nanosomes, 3 mm lipids) also showed significantly less cytotoxicity compared with the other pDNA nanosome formulations. Conclusions To conclude, these results indicate that condensing pDNA with PS followed by subsequent complexation with low‐concentration nanosomes generated from HPH can produce a pDNA nanosome formulation that will boost transfection efficiency, while minimizing cytotoxicity. This new technology appears to be an efficient tool for future commercial or large‐scale manufacture of DNA delivery systems for gene therapy.

New scale-down methodology from commercial to lab scale to optimize plant-derived soft gel capsule formulations on a commercial scale

A new scale-down methodology from commercial rotary die scale to laboratory scale was developed to optimize a plant-derived soft gel capsule formulation and eventually manufacture superior soft gel capsules on a commercial scale, in order to reduce the time and cost for formulation development. Animal-derived and plant-derived soft gel film sheets were prepared using an applicator on a laboratory scale and their physicochemical properties, such as tensile strength, Young’s modulus, and adhesive strength, were evaluated. The tensile strength of the animal-derived and plant-derived soft gel film sheets was 11.7?MPa and 4.41?MPa, respectively. The Young’s modulus of the animal-derived and plant-derived soft gel film sheets was 169?MPa and 17.8?MPa, respectively, and both sheets showed a similar adhesion strength of approximately 4.5–10?MPa. Using a D-optimal mixture design, plant-derived soft gel film sheets were prepared and optimized by varying their composition, including variations in the mass of κ-carrageenan, ι-carrageenan, oxidized starch and heat-treated starch. The physicochemical properties of the sheets were evaluated to determine the optimal formulation. Finally, plant-derived soft gel capsules were manufactured using the rotary die method and the prepared soft gel capsules showed equivalent or superior physical properties compared with pre-existing soft gel capsules. Therefore, we successfully developed a new scale-down methodology to optimize the formulation of plant-derived soft gel capsules on a commercial scale.     

Hepatitis-B surface antigen (HBsAg) powder formulation: process and stability assessment

The purpose of this study was to develop a hepatitis-B surface antigen (HBsAg) dry powder vaccine formulation suitable for epidermal powder immunization (EPI) via an efficient, scalable powder-formation process. Several HBsAg dry powder formulations were prepared using four different powder-formation methods: freeze-drying/compress/grind/sieve (FD/C/G/S), spray-drying (SD), agarose beads, and spray freeze-drying (SFD). Powder properties and physical stability were determined using particle size analysis, tap density measurement, scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, and moisture content analysis. Physical, chemical and biochemical stability of HBsAg was determined by dynamic light scattering, an enzyme immune assay, and immunogenicity in a mouse or hairless guinea pig model. Out of the four powder-formation methods evaluated SFD outperformed other methods in the following considerations: good process efficiency, flexible scalability, and desirable particle characteristics for skin penetration. The stress posed by SFD appeared to be mild as HBsAg in the dry form retained its potency and immunogenicity. Notably, the mechanism of fast freezing by SFD actually promoted the preservation of HBsAg nanoparticle size, in good correlation with long-term biochemical stability. Among several formulations screened, the formulation containing 10 microg HBsAg in 1-mg powder with a tertiary mixture of trehalose, mannitol, and dextran, exhibited excellent overall stability performance. In conclusion, HBsAg dry powder formulations suitable for EPI were successfully prepared using SFD. Further, a systematic formulation development strategy allowed the development and optimization of an HBsAg dry powder formulation, demonstrating excellent long-term physical, biochemical, and immunological stability.     

Formulation and stability study of chlorpheniramine maleate nasal gel

Nasal administration has been of special interest in the last decade due to its feasibility and relative high bioavailability compared to the oral rout of administration. Our study aimed to develop a nasal gel formulation for an antihistaminic drug, Chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM), which suffers from poor oral bioavailability (25–45%) due to its first-pass metabolism in the liver. Different formulations of CPM nasal gels were prepared using different polymers in different concentrations, these gels were evaluated for their in vitro (physico-chemical properties, release, permeability and stability) to select the best formulation which subject to in vivo tests including mucociliary clearance and bioavailability, both in comparison to the solution and commercial tablet Allergyl^®.     

Formulation and Characterization of Benzoyl Peroxide Gellified Emulsions

The present investigation was carried out with the objective of formulating a gellified emulsion of benzoyl peroxide, an anti-acne agent. The formulations were prepared using four different vegetable oils, viz. almond oil, jojoba oil, sesame oil, and wheat germ oil, owing to their emollient properties. The idea was to overcome the skin irritation and dryness caused by benzoyl peroxide, making the formulation more tolerable. The gellified emulsions were characterized for their homogeneity, rheology, spreadability, drug content, and stability. In vitro permeation studies were performed to check the drug permeation through rat skin. The formulations were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity, as well as their acute skin irritation potential. The results were compared with those obtained for the marketed formulation. Later, the histopathological examination of the skin treated with various formulations was carried out. Formulation F3 was found to have caused a very mild dysplastic change to the epidermis. On the other hand, the marketed formulation led to the greatest dysplastic change. Hence, it was concluded that formulation F3, containing sesame oil (6%w/w), was the optimized formulation. It exhibited the maximum drug release and anti-microbial activity, in addition to the least skin irritation potential.     

Quality by design: screening of critical variables and formulation optimization of Eudragit E nanoparticles containing dutasteride

The study was aimed at screening, understanding, and optimizing product variability of dutasteride-loaded Eudragit E nanoparticles prepared by solvent displacement using Plackett–Burman screening and a central composite design. The independent process and formulation factors selected included: drug loading (%), solute concentration (mg/mL), Soluplus concentration (mg/mL), injection rate (mL/min), organic solvent type (methanol or ethanol), stirring rate (rpm), and organic-to-aqueous phase volume ratio. Among these factors, solute concentration was associated with increased particle size, broad particle size distribution, and enhanced entrapment efficiency. On the other hand, Soluplus concentration played a role in decreasing particle size, narrowing particle size distribution, and reducing entrapment efficiency. Other formulation and process factors did not have a significant impact on nanoparticle properties, assuming they were within the limits used in this study. The optimized formulation was achieved with 20 mg/mL solute and 3.22 mg/mL Soluplus, and the observed responses were very close to the values predicted using the response surface methodology. The results clearly showed that quality by design concept could be effectively applied to optimize dutasteride-loaded Eudragit E nanoparticles.
