Abstract

Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) seed oil is a promising bioactive ingredient for topical applications due to its high content of essential fatty acids and antioxidants; however, its hydrophobic nature limits formulation stability and performance. This study aimed to develop and optimize an emulgel delivery system using a systematic mixture design approach to enhance its physicochemical characteristics. A Simplex Lattice Design (SLD) was applied to evaluate the combined effects of Tween 80 (1-5%) and Span 80 (1-5%) on key responses, including pH, viscosity, and adhesion. Emulgel formulations were prepared using a conventional emulsification method followed by incorporation into a gel base, then evaluated accordingly. Data were analyzed using Design Expert® software and ANOVA. The results showed that all formulations met the acceptable criteria for topical application, with pH (5.40–6.30), viscosity (25.1–61.2 P), and adhesion (1.46–3.5 s). Statistical analysis revealed a significant (p < 0.05) and non-linear interaction between surfactants across all responses, indicating the critical role of compositional balance. The optimized formulation, containing 5% Tween 80 and 1% Span 80, achieved a desirability value of 1.00. Overall, the SLD approach proved effective for optimizing emulgel formulations and enhancing the potential of sacha inchi oil as a stable topical delivery system.

Abstract

Oxidative stress is implicated in ageing and a range of degenerative disorders, and quercetin is a flavonol with well-documented radical-scavenging activity. Its pharmaceutical use is nevertheless limited because it belongs to class II of the Biopharmaceutics Classification System, with low aqueous solubility. A self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) keeps such a compound molecularly dissolved in an isotropic oil–surfactant–cosurfactant mixture that disperses spontaneously into a nanoemulsion. To optimise the proportions of oleic acid, Tween 80 and PEG 400 in a quercetin SNEDDS and to verify the physical characteristics and antioxidant activity of the optimum formula. A laboratory experimental study using a D-optimal mixture design in Design-Expert® version 13, with oleic acid 10–20%, Tween 80 70–80% and PEG 400 10–20% constrained to a total of 100%, generating 16 runs. Preconcentrates were sonicated, homogenised, saturated with quercetin and centrifuged. Responses were drug load, emulsification time, particle size, polydispersity index, transmittance, zeta potential and DPPH IC₅₀. Quercetin was quantified by a validated UV-Vis method at 373 nm. Numerical optimisation minimised particle size, emulsification time, polydispersity index and IC₅₀ while maximising drug load, and the optimum formula was verified in triplicate. Responses varied widely across the 16 runs: drug load 1.043–16.755 mg/mL, emulsification time 18.6–34.8 s, particle size 90–220 nm, polydispersity index 0.138–0.245, transmittance 90.106–99.379%, zeta potential −20.5 to −38.0 mV and IC₅₀ 40.49–146.13 ppm. All five optimisation models were significant (p < 0.05) with non-significant lack of fit. Raising the oleic acid proportion enlarged droplets, lengthened emulsification and widened the size distribution, whereas Tween 80 acted in the opposite direction. The optimum formula was oleic acid 10%, Tween 80 80% and PEG 400 10%, with a desirability of 0.898. Verification gave a particle size of 90 ± 5 nm, polydispersity index 0.138 ± 0.006, drug load 13.377 ± 0.554 mg/mL and IC₅₀ 67.637 ± 0.957 ppm, none differing significantly from prediction (p > 0.05; prediction errors ≤ 0.85%). The optimised quercetin SNEDDS forms a nanometric, homogeneous and rapidly self-emulsifying system with strong antioxidant activity, and the mixture model is sufficiently predictive to guide further development.

Abstract

Furosemide is a potent diuretic drug that has low bioavailability. Furosemide can be formulated into nanoemulsion preparations using the SNEDDS method to increase its bioavailability as SNEDDS can form stable nanoemulsions with droplet sizes is less than 200 nm. This study aims to identify the optimum formula for variations in the concentration of surfactant Tween 80 and cosurfactant PEG 400 based on the characterization tests of emulsification time, percent transmittance, and drug loading. The independent variables used in this study were Tween 80 and PEG 400. Seven furosemide SNEDDS formulas from the Simplex Lattice Design (SLD) method were tested for characterization in the form of emulsification time, percent transmittance, and drug loading. The characterization results were optimized using Simplex Lattice Design. The optimum formula was re-characterized, including emulsification time, percent transmittance, drug loading, particle size, zeta potential, and in vitro dissolution. The results were then compared with theoretical values and analyzed using the One-Sample T-test method. Optimization results showed Tween of 61.4922% and PEG 400 of 18.5078% with the characterization of emulsification time 15.25 seconds, percentage transmittance 94.20%, drug loading 50 100.2 ppm, particle size 12.18 nm. Furthermore, the zeta potential was -17.6 mV, and the in vitro dissolution rate reached 106.71% within 15 minutes.
