The objective of this present study is to develop a semisolid dispersion (SSD) of zaleplon with the aid of self-emulsifying lipid based amphiphilic carriers (TPGS E or Gelucire 44/14) addressing the poor solubility of this drug. A linear relationship between the solubility of drug with respect to increase in the concentration of lipid surfactant in aqueous medium resulting in AL type phase diagram was observed from phase solubility studies. Fusion method was employed to obtain semisolid dispersions (SSD) of zaleplon which showed high content uniformity of drug. The absence of chemical interactions between the pure drug, excipients and formulations were conferred by Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopic examinations. The photographic images from polarized optical microscopic studies revealed the change in crystalline form of drug to amorphous or molecular state. The superior dissolution parameters of zaleplon from SSD over pure crystalline drug interpreted from in vitro dissolution studies envisage the ability of these lipid surfactants as solubility enhancers. Further, the caliber of TPGS E or Gelucire 44/14 in encouraging the GI absorption of drug was evident with the higher human effective permeability coefficient and fraction oral dose of drug absorbed from SSD in situ intestinal permeation study. In conclusion, in vivo studies in Wister rats demonstrated an improvement in the oral bioavailability of zaleplon from SSD over control pure drug suspension suggesting the competence of Gelucire 44/14 and TPGS E as conscientious carriers to augment the dissolution rate limited bioavailability of this active

Silver nanoparticles (NP) offer many applications in the science and technology. Oral delivery of such tiny particles results in enhanced drug absorption, reduction in dose, and minimize adverse effects. This review focuses on the mainly on the effects in the gastrointestinal tract along with its in vitro and in vivo studies carried on the silver NP. In this review, we compiled some of the extensive research in the field of silver NP, highlighting some of the most recent trends in the area. Search was carried in English language using Science direct, PubMed, and Google scholar search engines. The effects of silver NP on gastrointestinal tract such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination were compiled in this review. In addition, selected in vitro and in vivo studies related to the same are discussed. The accumulation of silver NP leading to Arginia condition also emphasized in the study. Silver NP and herbal silver NP in oral delivery can be exploited for the further safer and effective treatment.

Objective: In the current study, the Quality by Design method was utilized for the formulation of solid lipid nanoparticles of Methotrexate (MTX SLNs). Methods: MTX SLNs formulated by melt emulsification method were studied for the effect of independent variables viz. concentration of lipid and surfactants on quality attributes viz. particle size, polydispersity index, and entrapment efficiency of SLNs using 32 factorial design. Results: The optimal formulation was spherical, had a particle size of 147.6±4.1 nm (z-average), a polydispersity index of 0.296±0.058, a zeta potential of −19±0.98 mV, encapsulation efficiency of 98.7±1.55%, and a cumulative drug release of 95.59±0.918% in 5 h. Conclusion: The  in vitro and in vivo studies revealed that SLNs provide a promising oral delivery system to improve the bioavailability of MTX.

Objective: The main objective of the present study was to develop proniosomal formulations to enhance the oral bioavailability of bazedoxifene acetate by improving solubility, dissolution and/or intestinal permeability. Methods: Proniosomal powder formulations were prepared with bazedoxifene acetate drug varying the span 40 and cholesterol ratio in the range of 0.8:0.2 to 0.2:0.8 using maltodextrin as a carrier by slurry method. The prepared proniosomal powder was filled into capsules. The bioavailability enhancement of proniosomes loaded with drug was studied focusing on non-ionic surfactants composition and drug: span 40 ratio. Prepared proniosomes were characterized for their particle size distribution, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, in vitro dissolution study and thermal characteristics to understand the phase transition behavior. Further, the formulated proniosomes were subjected to stability behavior, ex vivo permeation studies using rat intestine followed by in vivo studies. Results: Physico-chemical studies help in the optimization of formulations. Enhancement in dissolution is due to the incorporation of bazedoxifene acetate into the non-ionic surfactant and change in the physical state from crystalline to amorphous, thus improving oral bioavailability. Ex vivo studies show significant permeation enhancement across the gastrointestinal membrane compared to control. Conclusion: In conclusion, proniosomes provide a powerful and functional way of the distribution of inadequately soluble bazedoxifene acetate drug, which is proved from in vivo studies based on the enhanced oral delivery.
