Abstract

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) have emerged as a novel drug delivery system and have been utilized for delivering various kinds of drugs since the 1990s. These particles may consist of multiple solid lipids, including glycerides, waxes, and fatty acids, and can be stabilized by a wide range of surfactants. SLN have garnered significant attention from researchers due to its innovative and versatile nature. Moreover, such delivery system has numerous advantages over traditional colloidal carriers, such as liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, and emulsions. Several research groups have been developing SLN formulations and fabrication techniques based on their intended purpose, and this research number is still increasing globally. Given the vast potential for the development of SLN in the future, coupled with the wide variety of materials and techniques to be considered during the manufacturing process, this paper provides an extensive overview of the general introduction of SLN, their benefits and drawbacks, and the numerous excipients which can be associated with the SLN formulation. Various aspects related to the models of drug incorporation and fabrication methods are also systematically discussed in this review. In addition, an analysis of the factors that impact the stability of the SLN will also be documented to provide further insight for future advancements in SLN research.

Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that is one of the top five causes of blindness in those over 50. The standard treatment is pan-retinal photocoagulation, which is effective but has established side effects. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy becomes an alternative to avoid the side effects caused by laser therapy. This systematic review aims to know the effectiveness of anti-VEGF therapy compared to the pan-retinal photocoagulation laser therapy in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. This review was carried out using a systematic review checklist on PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). The articles reviewed were randomized controlled trial articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, six articles were selected from a total of 215. Patients who received anti-VEGF medication had better visual acuity (positive values), whereas patients who received laser therapy had poorer visual acuity (negative values). Those results are because the laser directs light towards the retina, damaging photoreceptors and retinal cells as well as reducing visual acuity. On the contrary, anti-VEGF prevents damage to retinal endothelial cells and blood leaks in the vitreous by decreasing VEGF expression and thus resulting in improved visual acuity. Anti-VEGF proved to be a more practical alternative therapy in improving visual acuity than pan-retinal photocoagulation for patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract

Tablet production is a very intricate process influenced by numerous process variables or parameters. This study aimed to identify the critical processing variables that affect Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs) of vitamin C film-coated caplets utilizing a statistical experimental design. A two-level complete factorial design with two central points was used to examine the process parameters that posed the greatest risk to CQAs. The process variables investigated included mesh size and duration for the lubrication process, as well as speed and main thickness for compression. Statistical results showed that mesh number, lubrication time, and their interaction significantly affect flow rate, Hausner ratio, and compressibility index. Higher mesh number and longer duration improved flow properties; lower main thickness significantly increased core caplet hardness; and lower dissolution rates were observed at higher compression speeds. Based on this study, it can be concluded that mesh number and lubrication time only significantly affected the bulk quality attributes but did not have a significant impact on the quality attributes of vitamin C caplets. On the other hand, the parameters of the compression process, such as speed and main thickness, greatly impacted the quality attributes of vitamin C caplets. In this study, the use of mesh number 20 with 7 minutes of lubrication, and a speed of 17 rpm with a main thickness scale of 2.00 were determined as the optimal process parameters. The optimal process parameters for the lubrication and compression processes were obtained from statistical analysis of the response data.

Abstract

Ropinirole HCl is a non-ergoline dopamine agonist which is recommended for the treatment of both Parkinson’s disease and Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Its half-life is about 6 hours and it is metabolized in the liver primarily by CYP1A2. Its metabolites are water-soluble and rapidly excreted from the body in urine. However, its oral bioavailability is low. Therefore, this current project aimed to produce and evaluate sustained release ropinirole microparticles coated with Eudragit® RS 100 and RL 100 by varying polymer types and concentrations. Ropinirole microparticles were prepared by oil in oil emulsion solvent evaporation technique. Emulsifier concentration was constantly set at 2% with a stirring speed of 500 pm. FTIR analysis of microparticles, drugs, and polymers was carried out. Analysis of compatibility, particle size, encapsulation effciency, yield, flow properties, and release profile were also performed. The optical microscope showed the spherical microparticles with better flow properties and encapsulation. Ropinirole FTIR analysis produced sharp characteristic bands of C=O stretching at 1699 cm-1, bending of CH3 at 1457 cm-1, C=C aromatic stretching at 1521 cm-1 and 1541 cm-1, and C-H aromatic bending at 765 cm-1. Eudragit® RS 100 and Eudragit® RL 100 showed a major peak with C=O stretching at 1716 cm-1. Within 8 hours, the drug release was in the range of 47.48-98.78%. Increasing the polymer concentration increased particle size, entrapment efficiency, and sustained drug release. Eudragit® RS 100 alone achieved a better sustained release than in combination with Eudragit® RL 100 or Eudragit® RL 100 alone.
