Abstract

Vitamin E acetate has antioxidant activity that can prevent premature aging of the skin, but its nature is very lipophilic (log p±12.2) and has the potential to degrade. To overcome the problems of permeability and stability, vitamin E acetate needs to be developed in Nanostructured Lipid Carrier (NLC), which is a nano delivery system based on solid lipids and liquid lipids stabilized by surfactants as a colloidal system. The formulation of vitamin E acetate into NLC was carried out using the heat homogenization method, then sonicated using a probe sonicator. The materials used were 2% vitamin E acetate, 2-6% Compritol® and Precirol® solid lipids, 1% Myritol®, and 1-3% Chremophore and Plantacare® surfactants. The NLC results were then characterized by measuring particle size, zeta potential, polydispersity index, entrapment efficiency, and morphology. The characterization results showed that NLC vitamin E acetate had a particle size of 280-375 nm, a zeta potential of -23 mV to -28 mV, a polydispersity index <0.5, an entrapment efficiency of 92-97%, and a spherical morphology. The results showed that Nanostructured Lipid Carrier vitamin E acetate gave good results.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic syndrome disease in which around 90-95% of all cases of adults aged 20-79 years suffer from type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, with long-term conventional treatment causing side effects of hypoglycemia. Bay leaves which contain quercetin and kaempferol compounds are able to lower blood glucose levels, but have challenges in drug delivery due to easy oxidation and low bioavailability. Therefore, an innovative drug delivery system is needed, such as nanophytosomes, to increase its bioavailability. Objective: This study aims to develop a thin film formula of bay leaf extract nanophytosomes that have antidiabetic affinity with in silico studies and evaluate the physical characteristics of nanophytosomes. Method: in silico using the molecular docking method to evaluate the interaction of active compounds of bay leaves with the alpha glucosidase enzyme. Bay leaf nanophytosomes are formulated using heat homogenization and probe sonicator techniques. Characterization is carried out by measuring particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and particle morphology. Results: The nanophytosome formula of bay leaf extract showed a particle size of <1000 nm, a polydispersity index of <0.5, and a zeta potential of ±25 mV. In silico studies showed that quercetin and kaempferol have a strong affinity for the α-glucosidase enzyme, which plays an important role in inhibiting glucose absorption. Conclusion: Bay leaf extract can be formulated into a phytosome-based nanoparticle delivery system that shows stable physical characteristics, high adsorption efficiency, and potential antidiabetic activity through the interaction of inhibiting the α-glucosidase enzyme.

Abstract

Introduction: Wounds are tissue damage that can cause functional disorders and risk of infection. Effective wound management is essential to accelerate tissue regeneration and prevent complications. Bay leaf extract (Syzygium polyanthum) contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and saponins that have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and wound healing activities. However, the limited bioavailability and skin penetration of these active compounds are challenges in topical therapy. Objective: This study aims to develop and evaluate a topical drug delivery system based on bay leaf extract nanoemulsion as an alternative therapy to accelerate wound healing. Method: Extraction was carried out using ethanol solvent, then formulated into a nanoemulsion with oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant components. Formulation characterization was carried out by measuring particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and physical stability tests. Evaluation of effectiveness was carried out using a wound model in Wistar rats with the hot plate induction method. Wound healing observations were carried out clinically and histologically for a period of 14 days. Results: The formulation results showed that the nanoemulsion had a particle size of <200 nm, PDI <0.5, and zeta potential of ±25 mV, indicating good physical stability. Burn activity tests showed that topical administration of bay leaf extract nanoemulsion accelerated wound contraction, increased epithelialization, and improved tissue structure compared to the control group. Conclusion: Bay leaf extract can be formulated in a nanoemulsion-based nanoparticle delivery system that shows stable physical characteristics and is effective in accelerating wound healing.

Abstract

Captopril is an antihypertensive drug that belongs to the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACE-Inhibitor) class and is widely applied for first-line therapy. This drug has a pharmacokinetic profile with a short half-life of about 2-3 hours, is easily soluble in water, and is stable under acidic conditions (pH 1.2). However, its stability decreases as the pH increases, making it susceptible to degradation. Absorption of captopril in the stomach does not take place completely due to the low gastro retention time (GTR), causing its bioavailability to be low (around 65%). To increase drug effectiveness, reduce degradation, and improve patient compliance, various drug delivery systems have been developed. One promising approach is the Gastroretentive Drug Delivery System (GRDDS), which is a sustained release drug delivery system deliberately designed to maintain the drug longer in the stomach. This review article aims to examine GRDDS methods that can be applied to captopril, including modification of the matrix and polymer used, in order to obtain a better drug release profile and improve drug characteristics. The literature review was searched using databases namely PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, with publication year coverage from 2014 to 2024. The keywords used included: “Gastroretentive Drug Delivery System (GRDDS)”.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with a rising global prevalence. Natural antidiabetic agents derived from plant bioactive compounds offer a promising therapeutic alternative. Rose flowers (*Rosa hybrida Hort*) contain flavonoids such as kaempferol, known for their antidiabetic activity. However, poor solubility and bioavailability limit their therapeutic potential. This study aimed to develop and characterize a nanoemulsion of rose flower extract to enhance the stability and bioavailability of its active compounds. The extract was obtained by maceration using 96% ethanol and analyzed using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Nanoemulsion formulations were developed using various types and concentrations of nonionic surfactants. Characterization included particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, and morphology. The optimal nanoemulsion showed a particle size <300 nm, PDI <0.5, and zeta potential around ±20 mV, indicating good stability. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) revealed uniformly distributed spherical globules. LC-MS/MS confirmed the presence of kaempferol as the main active compound. The formulated nanoemulsion was successfully incorporated into an oral thin film, exhibiting favorable characteristics such as appropriate particle size, PDI, zeta potential, morphology, and satisfactory evaluation results including organoleptic properties, moisture content, pH, weight uniformity, film thickness, folding endurance, and disintegration time.

Abstract

Diabetic wounds are a chronic complication that is difficult to heal due to impaired blood circulation, oxidative stress, and microbial infection. Conventional therapies are often ineffective due to poor drug penetration into damaged skin tissue and limited bioavailability of active compounds. Lipid nanoparticle-based drug delivery technology was developed to overcome these obstacles by increasing stability, skin penetration ability, and controlled drug release. Objective: This article aims to comprehensively review the role of lipid-based nanoparticle delivery systems in improving the effectiveness of diabetic wound healing therapy, including the mechanisms of absorption enhancement, active substance stability, and pharmacological activity. Methods: This study is a systematic literature review of national and international publications over the past ten years (2015–2025). Data sources were obtained from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases using keywords “lipid nanoparticles,” “diabetic wound healing,” and “transdermal drug delivery.” Inclusion criteria included experimental studies and review articles discussing lipid nanoparticle formulations and their therapeutic effects on diabetic wounds. Results: Various studies have shown that lipid-based nanoparticle systems, including nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), can improve the stability and permeation of active ingredients such as curcumin, asiatic acid, and other herbal extracts through the skin. This improvement contributes to better anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities, thereby accelerating the healing process of diabetic wounds. Conclusion: Lipid-based nanoparticle technology offers an innovative approach to diabetic wound therapy by improving the stability, bioavailability, and effectiveness of active ingredients. Further development is needed for formulation optimization and clinical validation to ensure the safety and effectiveness of its use in diabetic patients.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to impaired insulin secretion. Diabetes often causes serious complications such as diabetic wounds, which are characterized by the appearance of ulcers, infections, or tissue damage in the feet. Conventional therapeutic approaches often show less than optimal effectiveness due to limited drug penetration into damaged skin tissue. The use of natural ingredients with antidiabetic and wound healing activities has been widely studied, but their effectiveness is often hampered by low solubility, stability, and bioavailability. One innovative strategy to overcome these problems is the development of nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems, one of which is Nanostructured Lipid Carrier (NLC). NLC is a lipid delivery system that combines solid and liquid lipids to increase stability, drug loading capacity, and control the release of active compounds. Purpose: This article aims to review the development of formulations from natural ingredients that have potential as antidiabetic and diabetic wound healing activities. Methods: This study is a literature review of articles published in the last ten years (2015 – 2025) from the ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases. Results: Based on several studies, it shows that various active compounds such as curcumin (Curcuma longa), bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum), and other flavonoid compounds have been formulated in the NLC system with significant improvements in stability, bioavailability, and pharmacological effectiveness. Conclusion: The NLC-based drug delivery system from natural ingredients has proven potential in increasing the effectiveness of antidiabetic therapy and diabetic wound healing. Further research is needed to optimize formulation stability, long-term toxicity testing, and clinical validation to support its therapeutic application.
