Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a common complication of type II diabetes. The present research work aimed to develop bilayer tablets that would manage type II diabetes patients with hypertension. The prepared bilayer tablet has an immediate-release layer of anti-hypertensive irbesartan and a sustained-release (SR) layer of anti-diabetic metformin hydrochloride. The purpose of these bilayer tablets was to increase patient compliance by converting two separate monotherapy to single combination therapy. Methodology: Several ratios of polymers, including HPMC K100M, EC, Eudragit, and Guar gum, were employed to prolong the drug release for twelve hours. An immediate-release layer of irbesartan was prepared by spherical agglomeration. The physical properties, drug content, solubility profiles, release kinetics, and stability of prepared bilayer tablets were assessed. Results and Discussion: The examination of SR granules and bilayer tablets revealed outstanding packing qualities and excellent flow properties, with bulk and tapped densities ranging from 0.39-0.46 g/cm³ and 0.42-0.55 g/cm³, respectively. In vitro dissolution tests revealed that the immediate-release layer gave an initial burst of Irbesartan. Still, the sustained-release layer of metformin showed controlled drug release over 12 hours at greater polymer concentrations. According to stability testing, the bilayer tablets' physical properties, drug content, and dissolving profiles did not change significantly. Conclusion: The bilayer tablet combination of Irbesartan and Metformin exhibited desired physical features, controlled drug release, and stability. This formulation represents a viable treatment option for diabetic hypertensive patients, offering effective and consistent management of both disorders while improving patient compliance.

Abstract

Background: This study optimizes and evaluates transferosomes containing Nebivolol Hydrochloride to enhance the drug's bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. Ultra-deformable vesicles called transferosomes help to increase drug administration via the skin. Methodology: Using a thin-film hydration technique, beta-blocker Nebivolol Hydrochloride, which has antihypertensive properties, was added to transferosomes. To attain the ideal vesicle size (between 200 to 300 nm), entrapment efficiency, and deformability, the formulation was adjusted by adjusting the amounts of phosphatidylcholine, Span 80, and hydration time using a Box-Behnken experimental design. Particle size analysis, zeta potential measurement, and in vitro drug release tests were performed to characterize the transferosomes. Results and discussion: The optimized formulation demonstrated notable deformability, an entrapment effectiveness of 50%, and a vesicle size of 265 nm. The Box-Behnken design made it easier to evaluate the interactions between variables systematically. In vitro drug release studies showed a drug diffusion that persisted for a whole day, suggesting that transferosomes may have long-lasting therapeutic effects. Stability studies at room temperature and accelerated conditions over six months confirmed the formulation's robustness. Conclusion: The results imply that Nebivolol Hydrochloride transferosome-based delivery may be a viable strategy for improving the drug's bioavailability and effectiveness, as nearly 100% of drugs diffuse within 24 hr, perhaps leading to a breakthrough in the management of hypertension.

Abstract

Background: Transferosomes provide delivery of the drug into systemic circulation via the skin as a topical delivery system. So, this study started with the objective of formulating Etodolac transfersomal gel to enhance its skin permeation. Methodology: A total of nine transferosomes (ET-1 to ET-9) containing lecithin, different grades of span and tween, were successfully prepared using a rotary film evaporator. Results and Discussion: After primary evaluation, results were as particle sizes ranged from 222 to 421 nm, zeta potential shows results from –18.50 to –62.53 mV with PDI values 0.254 to 0.303, and the entrapment efficiency (EE%) of Etodolac in the transferosomes ranged from 54.15% to 80.25%. Additionally, the transfersomes formulations were included in carbopol 940 gels (ETC-1 to ETC-9 and EC-0 without transferosomes) and assessed for various characteristics like color, pH, homogeneity, spreadability, viscosity, and in vitro drug release study. Optimized formulation (ET4 and ETC4) underwent further analysis using SEM, TEM, DSC, FTIR, XRD, ex vivo skin permeation, skin irritation and in vivo studies. The in vivo results were compared. % edema inhibition maximum was observed with optimized transfersomal gel formulation (ETC4) as compared to the marketed formulation and plain Carbopol gel when the study was completed after 8 hrs. Conclusion: After this research, it is suggested that Etodolac Transfersomal gel (ETC4) can be considered as an alternate drug carriers system for topical delivery and it could be used to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis

Abstract

Background: The work was intended to enhance etoricoxib's solubility and dissolution rate and then develop oro-dispersible tablets for faster onset of action. Methodology: Inclusion complexes (ICs) of the drug were obtained with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HP β-CD) at ratios of 1:0.125, 1:0.25, 1:0.5, 1:1, and 1:2 (w/w). The selected cyclodextrin at appropriate drug carrier proportion was used to develop oro-dispersible tablets (ODTs) by direct compression, adding crospovidone as a super disintegrant. Phase solubility studies of etoricoxib were carried out by using multiple concentrations of β-cyclodextrin and hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin, i.e., 1 %, 2 %, 3 % w/v in distilled water at 37±2°C. Spectroscopic (FT-IR) and thermal analysis (DSC) techniques were employed to identify the drug-carrier interactions. Result: It showed that etoricoxib solubility improves with increasing hydrophilic carrier concentration. The Gibbs free energy values (ΔG˚tr) are consistently negative, showing the solubility of etoricoxib. Significant drug carrier interaction in spectroscopic or thermal analysis was not found. Discussion: The ICs of drugs with β-CD and HP β-CD have successfully addressed the challenges of solubility enhancement and taste masking for etoricoxib. Conclusions: It is observed that the inclusion complexes formed by the kneading method using β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) at a 1:1 ratio and hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HP β-CD) at a 1:2 ratio can be used to improve dissolution. Hence β-CD (at a 1:1 ratio) is selected for the formulation of oro-dispersible tablets. ODTs offer more patient compliance and an alternative to available conventional tablets.

Abstract

Background: A quick, accurate, reproducible, and straightforward liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS) system employing Atoltavimab, Maftivimab, and Odesivimab as an internal standard for Zanamivir quantification was achieved. Zanamivir is a neuraminidase inhibitor that effectively treats influenza caused by influenza A and B viruses. Methodology: Whenever we use the Kinetex C-18 column, all HPLC parameters and conditions are obeyed, so we use this column. Separation was performed on a Kinetex C18 column (100 mm x 4.6 mm, 2.6µm) using isocratic elution with a buffer containing 1mL of formic acid in 1Lit of water and a mobile step consisting of a 40:60 v/v mixture of two elements, buffer and acetonitrile, with a flow rate of 1mL/min at 300C temperature was used. Results & Discussion: We used different stationary phases in the optimization process, such as C18, C8, and CN-propyl. Using a kinetex C18 column with dimensions of (100 mm x 4.6 mm, 2.6 µm) connected to a PDA detector, we obtain strong peak shapes of Atoltivimab, Maftivimab, and Odesivimab from various trials. Flow rates in the mobile process were set to 1 mL/min. Conclusion: Atoltivimab, Maftivimab, and Odesivimab analysis was completed in 7 minutes over a good linear concentration range of 5ng/mL to 100ng/mL (r2 = 0.999), 5ng/mL to 100ng/mL (r2 = 0.999), and 5ng/mL to 100ng/mL (r2 = 0.9998). The findings of the precision and recovery studies are within the appropriate range.

Abstract

Background: Sumatriptan is one of the most essential drugs for treating migraine. However, dosage-related side effects are still a worry despite its 14 % oral bioavailability and recurrence of migraine-associated diseases. Methodology: The fundamental focus of the study is to develop the sumatriptan intra-nasal nano-ethsomal gel by film hydration technique with the aid of QbD principles that govern the varied compositions and blends of polymers like HPMC K100M and Phospolipon 90G to develop a sustained release dosage form. Results and discussion: The preliminary FT-IR and DSC studies revealed no interactions between the drug and their physical mixtures. The present study considered three observable responses: vesicle size, zeta potential, and percent drug release after 24 h, taken into consideration during the optimization of the ethosomal formulations utilizing 32 central composite designs (CCD).  The vesicle size (122.23 nm), zeta potential (-40.2 mV), and drug release percentage (92.61 %) for all formulations were seen in the F12 batch after 24h.  The p-XRD and SEM studies indicated that the nano-ethosomal gel was stable. The stability studies indicated the preparation of a more stable formulation for the parameters under the study protocol. Conclusion: Using a novel intra-nasal brain targeting approach by adapting the film hydration technique, the current issues might be addressed, and the drug's duration of residence at the absorption site uptake substantially increase. To efficiently modify the drug's residence through the intra-nasal route, this work focuses on developing a nano-ethosomal gel loaded with sumatriptan.

Abstract

Background: Papaya seeds are a rich source of proteins, fat, fibers, vitamins, minerals, monounsaturated fatty acids, polyphenols, and powerful antioxidants like flavonoids. Low solubility limits the absorption and bioavailability of herbal constituents. Hence, phytosomes of Papaya seed extract were formulated to enhance its solubility and bioavailability. Methodology: Papaya seeds were extracted using ethanol as solvent, and all the phytoconstituents present in the extract were assessed during the phytochemical screening and LC-MS analysis. In-vitro antidiabetic activity pure extract was determined by alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase enzyme inhibitory assay. The phytosomes of extract were formulated using the lipid thin film formation method and Soya lecithin and Cholesterol as lipids. The formulated phytosomes were analyzed for parameters such as particle size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, percent drug content, and In-vitro dissolution study. The chemical nature of the formulation was studied using FTIR analysis and powder X-ray diffractometry. Thermal stability of phytosomes analyzed with the help of Differential Scanning calorimetry. Results: LC-MS identified 16 phytoconstituents. In-vitro antidiabetic activity showed 59.97% and 51.17% inhibition of enzymes alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase, respectively. The encapsulation efficiency of the optimized formulation was 88.41±0.91% with a particle size of 188.0±53.7nm. TEM images of formulation confirm the formation of phytosomes. FTIR, DSC, and Powder X-ray diffractometry showed no unwanted peaks. The in vitro dissolution study showed 89.26±1.05% CDR of phytosome, while the extract showed 47.78±0.59% CDR. Conclusion: Evaluation results of phytosomes suggest that this formulation can be used as an effective herbal antidiabetic formulation
