Effect Of Particle Size

Abstract Background: The particle size is one of great important properties of nanoparticles which affects the dissolution rate in vitro and pharmacokinetics in vivo. This study aimed to design an oral cyclosporin A nanosuspension (CsA-NS) and investigate the effect of particle size of cyclosporin A nanosuspension (CsA-NS) on absorption through the gastrointestinal barrier.Results: CsA-NSs with different particle sizes were prepared. Dissolution rate in vitro, transmembrane permeation, gastrointestinal transport properties and the oral absorption of CsA-NSs were promoted by reducing size, except cellular uptake. Specially the particle size of CsA-NSs was nanoscale, their bioavailability was bioequivalent with marked soft capsules (Sandimmun Neoral®) which is self-microemulsion. Conclusions: This study proposed the potential of developing CsA oral multi dosage form, taken the advantage of nanosuspensions.

Rate Of Dissolution

Poor water solubility and slow dissolution rate are issues for the majority of upcoming and existing biologically active compounds. Simvastatin is poorly water-soluble drug and its bioavailability is very low from its crystalline form. The purpose of this study wasto increase the solubility and dissolution rate of simvastatin by the  preparation of nanosuspension by emulsification solvent diffusion method at laboratory scale. Prepared nanosus-pension was evaluated for its particle size and in vitro dissolution study and characterized by zeta potential,differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-Ray diffractometry (XRD), motic digital microscopy, entrapment efficiency, total drug content, saturated solubility study and in vivo study. A 23 factorial design was employed to study the effect of independent variables, amount of SLS (X1), amount of PVPK-30 (X2) and poloxamer-188 (X3) and dependent variables are total drug content and polydispersity Index. The obtained results showed that particle size (nm) and rate of dissolution has been improved when nanosuspension prepared with the higherconcentration of PVPK-30 with the higher concentration of PVP K-30 and Poloxamer-188 and lower concentration of SLS. The particle size and zeta potential of optimized formulation was found to be 258.3 nm and 23.43. The rate of dissolution of the optimized nanosuspension was enhanced (90% in 60min), relative to plain simvastatin  (21% in 60 min), mainly due to the formation of nanosized particles. These results indicate the suitability of 23 factorial  design for preparation of simvastatin loaded nano-suspension significantly improved in vitro dissolution rate and thus possibly enhance fast onset of therapeutic drug effect. In vivo study shows increase in bioavailability in nanosuspension formulation than the plain simvastatin drug.

Introduction: The objectives were to prepare, characterize and in vivo evaluate different ibuprofen (IBU) nanosuspensions prepared by ultra-homogenization, after oral administration to rabbits. Methods: The nanosuspensions produced by ultra-homogenization were tested and compared with a marketed IBU suspension for particle size, in vitro dissolution and in vivo absorption. Five groups of rabbits received orally 25 mg/kg of IBU nanosuspension, nanoparticles, unhomogenized suspension, marketed product and untreated suspension. A sixth group received 5 mg/kg IBU intravenously. Serial blood samples were obtained after IBU administration. Results: The formulated nanosuspensions showed significant decrease in particle size. Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone K30 (PP) was found to improve IBU aqueous solubility much better than the other tested polymers. Addition of Tween 80 (TW), in equal amount as PP (IBU: PP:TW, 1:2:2 w/w) resulted in much smaller particle size and better dissolution rate. The Cmax achieved were 14.8±1.64, 11.1±1.37, 9.01±0.761, 7.03±1.38 and 3.23±1.03 μg/ml and the tmax were 36±8.2, 39±8.2, 100±17.3, 112±15 and 105±17 min for the nanosuspension, nanoparticle, unhomogenized suspension, marketed IBU suspension and untreated IBU suspension in water, respectively. Bioavailability of the different formulations relative to the marketed suspension were the highest for nanosuspension> unhomogenized suspension> nanoparticles> untreated IBU suspension. Conclusion: IBU/PP/TW nanosuspensions showed enhanced in vitro dissolution as well as faster rate and higher extent of absorption as indicated from the higher Cmax, shorter tmax and larger AUC. The in vivo data supported the in vitro results. Nanosuspensions prepared by ultra-high-pressure-homogenization technique can be used as a good formulation strategy to enhance the rate and extent of absorption of poorly soluble drugs.

BackgroundSuccessful clinical translation of mRNA therapeutics requires an appropriate delivery strategy to overcome instability of mRNA and facilitate cellular uptake into the cells.1 Several lipid based nanoparticle approaches that encapsulate mRNA, notably lipid nanoparticle (LNP), have been developed, but their efficiency for delivery to certain target tissues and toxicity profiles still have room for improvement. The application of a novel polymer based nanoparticle technology platform, so called Stability Enhanced Nano Shells (SENS) for mRNA (mSENS) as a mRNA delivery platform for a cancer vaccine was demonstrated.MethodsThe physicochemical properties of mSENS formulation, particle size and encapsulation efficiency, were characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and gel retardation assay. Using luciferase-encoding mRNA, the protein expression levels in vitro and in vivo were evaluated by luciferase assay or bioluminescence imaging (BLI), respectively. For cancer vaccine studies, antigen (tyrosinase-related protein 2 (Trp-2))-specific T cell responses were assessed by immunophenotyping mouse splenocytes using flow cytometry and by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT) assay. The anti-tumor efficacy was studied in B16F10 lung tumor model in C57BL/6 mice. Liver and systemic toxicity of mSENS treated mice was evaluated through blood chemistry and complete blood count (CBC) tests.ResultsA library of mSENS formulations complexed with luciferase-encoding mRNA, were characterized for their particle size, surface charge, encapsulation efficiency, colloidal stability, and in vitro and in vivo luciferase protein expression level. Upon systemic administration in mice, varying biodistribution profiles were observed, implicating the potential for tailored delivery to target tissues. Particularly, cancer vaccine application was further developed leveraging the formulation with preferential spleen delivery. Following vaccination with Trp-2 mRNA encapsulated with mSENS (Trp-2 mRNA-mSENS) in B16F10 tumor bearing mice, strong Trp-2 antigen-specific IFN-γ T-cell responses were observed. Generated anti-tumor immunity also marked suppression of B16F10 lung tumors were observed in Trp-2-mSENS immunized mice compared to non-immunized controls, demonstrating the potential of mSENS as a mRNA delivery platform for the application for vaccine.ConclusionsProprietary biodegradable polymer based-mSENS platform offers an attractive delivery strategy for mRNA by tailoring to specific therapeutic applications. Depending on the application, whether it’s a vaccine or protein replacement, a rationally designed mSENS formulation can efficiently distribute mRNA to specific tissues. In particular, application of a splenic mSENS formulation for a cancer vaccine has been demonstrated in murine tumor model. In summary, mRNA delivery through mSENS platform is expected to provide significant opportunities in clinical development for mRNA therapeutics.Ethics ApprovalThe study was approved by Samyang Biopharmaceuticals’ IACUC (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee), approval number SYAU-2027.ReferencePiotr S.

Lipospheres represent a novel type of fat-based encapsulation system produced for the topical drug delivery of bioactive compounds. The goal of this research work was to develop lipospheres, including ketoprofen applied for topical skin drug delivery. Ketoprofen lipospheres were formulated by melt emulsification method using stearic acid and Phospholipon® 90G. The lipospheres were analysed in terms of particle size and morphology, entrapment efficiency, Differential scanning calorimetry, In-vitro drug release, In-vivo (Anti-inflammatory activity). Outcomes of research revealed that particle size was found to be 9.66 µm and entrapment efficiency 86.21 ± 5.79 %. In-vivo, the study of ketoprofen loaded lipospheres formulation shows a higher plain formulation concentration in plasma (5.61 mg/mL). For dermis, ketoprofen retention was 27.02 ± 5.4 mg/mL for the lipospheres formulation, in contrast to that of the plain formulation group (10.05 ± 2.8 mg/mL). The anti-inflammatory effect of liposphere drug delivery systems was assessed by the xylene induced ear oedema technique and compared with marketed products. Finally, it seems that the liposphere drug delivery system possesses superior anti-inflammatory activity as compared to the marketed product gel consistencies. Liposphere may be capable of entrapping the medicament at very high levels and controlling its release over an extended period. Liposphere furnishes a proper size for topical delivery as well as is based on non-irritating and non-toxic lipids; it’s a better option for application on damaged or inflamed skin.
