Abstract

Introduction: The fundamental challenge of effective skin permeation has long limited the therapeutic potential of topical drug delivery systems. Conventional formulations frequently fail to achieve adequate penetration through the skin barrier, necessitating innovative approaches to enhance drug bioavailability while maintaining targeted delivery to specific skin layers.  Aims: This review evaluates the transformative impact of transfersomes and transethosomes as advanced nanovesicular systems designed to overcome traditional limitations in topical drug delivery. Methods: The review examines ultra-deformable nanovesicle technologies through comprehensive analysis of their operational mechanisms, including osmotic gradient exploitation in transfersomes and ethanol-facilitated lipid fluidization in transethosomes. Performance comparisons with conventional formulations across various therapeutic applications were conducted to assess clinical efficacy and delivery capabilities. Result: These nanovesicular systems demonstrate superior performance in delivering diverse therapeutic agents to targeted skin layers while effectively minimizing systemic absorption. The analysis reveals significant advantages over traditional formulations, with enhanced penetration capabilities that extend to macromolecular therapeutics and biologics when integrated with complementary technologies such as microneedle arrays and iontophoresis. Current research developments focus on addressing existing limitations through lyophilization techniques, hybrid polymer systems, and advanced manufacturing processes. Conclusion: Transfersomes and transethosomes represent a significant advancement in topical drug delivery technology, offering promising solutions to longstanding permeation challenges. The future trajectory toward personalized formulations and sustainable production methods using plant-derived components indicates their potential to fundamentally redefine treatment approaches in dermatology, oncology, and pain management, establishing minimally invasive yet highly effective therapeutic options as the standard in patient care.

Abstract

Lupun root is the local name for Poikilospermum suaveolens (Blume) Merr. in the Aranio region, South of Borneo, Indonesia. P.suaveolens is a medicinal plant traditionally used to treat various ailments and to enhance the body’s immune function. This study aimed to investigate the secondary metabolites and antioxidant capacity of the ethanol extract derived from the root of Lupun (P. suaveolens). Samples were collected from Aranio, South Borneo. Extraction was performed by maceration using 96% ethanol. The analysis included phytochemical screening and evaluation of antioxidant activity using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic compounds in the Lupun root extract. The antioxidant assay showed an IC50 value of 20.44 µg/mL, indicating strong antioxidant potential of the ethanol extract. These results highlight the plant’s promise as a candidate for pharmaceutical development.

Abstract

Abstract— Nanotechnology involves manipulating matter at the atomic and molecular levels, leading to the creation of new materials for food and drug application with properties that are not always easily anticipated based on existing knowledge. Among the nearly infinite variety of these substances, some are toxic to biological systems, others are generally harmless, and yet others confer health advantages. The biocompatibility and distribution of these materials must be assessed prior to their use in biological and environmental. Consequently, it is essential to comprehend the toxicity of nanomaterials. Mechanisms of cellular uptake and nanoparticles dispersion in biological settings depend on their physicochemical properties. The pathways in which exposure to nanoparticles is harmful to health are through oxidative stress and inflammation. Recent research have indicated that nanoparticles may cause major health impacts when ingested, inhaled, or applied to the skin without precaution. The main sources of toxicity in nanomaterials include their size, shape, concentration, aspect ratio, crystallinity, surface charge, dissolution, and agglomeration. This review article aims to comprehensively summarize the toxicity aspects of nanoparticles for food and drug application, including physiochemical properties, mechanisms of nanoparticle toxicity, and the health risks, so as to provide an overview for future researchers to develop nanoparticulate in a safer way.

Abstract

Minerals are essential for numerous physiological functions. However, their application in pharmaceutical formulations is often limited by hygroscopicity and low bioavailability, which can diminish their therapeutic effectiveness. This article reviewa not only highlights these challenges but also provides an in-depth, up-to-date evaluation of various strategies designed to overcome these limitations, supported by quantitative data from recent literature. This review article emphasizes the role of co-processing with excipients and encapsulation technology, which improve mineral stability by creating an effective moisture barrier, thereby extending product shelf life. Effervescent formulations, through an acid-base reaction, generate gas that significantly enhances mineral solubility and contributes to increased bioavailability. Microencapsulation, using a polymer or protein layer, protects minerals from gastric degradation and allows for controlled release in the intestine, the primary site of absorption. Chelating peptides form stable complexes with mineral ions, improving their transport and uptake in the body. Meanwhile, advanced nanoparticle technologies like Solid Lipid Nanoparticles and liposomes increase the contact surface area, accelerate dissolution, and protect minerals from oxidative degradation. This review article offers a comprehensive overview of strategies that can significantly advance the development of more effective and stable mineral-based pharmaceuticals.

Abstract

Acne, Atopic Dermatitis, Psoriasis and Rosacea are examples of chronic inflammatory skin conditions. One characteristic of many skin disorders is the dysregulation of innate immunity in the skin. Acne, Atopic Dermatitis, Psoriasis, and Rosacea all have problems with the expression, function, or processing of the key innate immune effector molecule in the skin, cathelicidin LL-37. Cathelicidin induction can be altered to treat Acne and Atopic Dermatitis, which lessens the efficiency of the antimicrobial barrier. However, cathelicidin is overexpressed in Psoriasis and Rosacea. The most recent research on cathelicidin LL-37’s involvement in the etiology of inflammatory skin disorders will be included in this review. Since cathelicidin LL-37 may one day be employed as a therapeutic target, many cutting-edge therapy methods for the disease will be discussed.

Abstract

 Kontaminasi silang pada sarana produksi adalah hal yang sangat dihindari sehingga perlu dilakukannya pembersihan yang sudah divalidasi karena residu yang tersisa dapat menjadi cemaran. Namun, terdapat risiko yang dapat terjadi selama dilakukannya validasi pembersihan. Oleh karena itu penting untuk mengkaji risiko tersebut. Penelitian ini akan mengkaji resiko yang dapat terjadi pada setiap tahapan validasi pembersihan dengan metode Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). Penelitian dilakukan dengan cara observasional dan wawancara langsung di salah satu industri farmasi di Kota Bandung. Tahapan kajian risiko dimulai dengan mengidentifikasi risiko, menganalisis risiko berdasarkan tingkat keparahan, memberikan skor sehingga didapatkan nilai RPN, serta mengevaluasi risiko. Dari hasil kajian risiko, didapatkan sebanyak 26 risiko dengan 16 risiko minor, 4 risiko moderat dan 6 risiko mayor. Risiko yang termasuk dalam kategori mayor dibuat tindakan pengendalian risiko untuk mengurangi risiko terjadinya kegagalan dalam validasi pembersihan. Industri farmasi dapat melakukan tindakan pencegahan dan pengendalian dari hasil kajian risiko ini seperti pengecekan terhadap sarana penunjang kritis yang ada, penentuan marker, pelaksanaan proses validasi, serta mempertimbangkan untuk pembersihan secara otomatis.
