The present study investigates the influence of co-administration of different concentrations (2, 6, and 10 mg) of curcumin on goat intestinal permeability of berberine chloride (BBC) using Franz diffusion cell. Data obtained in triplicate from permeability studies were used to calculate percentage cumulative drug release (% CDR), apparent permeability (Papp), flux (J) and enhancement ratio (ER). Co-administration of 6 mg concentration of curcumin with BBC was found to be optimum to enhance the permeability of BBC up to 23.92 ± 0.78 % CDR, over control (8.49 ± 1.45 % CDR). At the optimized concentration of curcumin, permeability characteristics were improved significantly compared to control. The present study reveals the beneficial effect of co-administration of curcumin (6 mg) to promote membrane permeability of BBC which would be expected to improve its bioavailability, thereby therapeutic efficacy. The effect could be attributed to curcumin-mediated inhibition of intestinal efflux pump P-gp, acting as an absorption barrier for BBC.

AbstractLiposomes are known as convenient carriers for a broad range of actives. The release rate of actives can be adjusted/controlled by the addition of different surfactants. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two surfactants, Span 20 and Span 40, on liposomes release properties. In particular, the study shows how the membrane modification affects the mass transfer resistances and liposome size compared with the common liposomes. The aqueous extract of thyme was used as a model substance. It is a valuable source of natural antioxidants – polyphenols. The diffusion of polyphenols from native thyme extract (un-encapsulated) and from different types of liposomes was conducted using Franz diffusion cell. The results were approximated with Fick’s second law and they implied that liposomes modified with Span 20 provided the slowest release of polyphenolic compounds due to the highest value of mass transfer resistance (2.523 × 106s/m).

Polyphenols are compound which are widely studied because of their antioxidative and potential therapeutic properties. Systems for the controlled release of drugs offer a number of benefits comparing with traditional forms of medicines and because of that these systems are widely researched. The objective of this paper is to investigate the possibility of using liposomes as carriers of polyphenols and influence the membrane composition on the release rate of encapsulated polyphenols. Experiments show how the membrane modification affects the mass transfer comparing to a conventional liposomes. Liposomes were modified with surfactants Tween 20 and Tween 60, and thyme tea extract was used as a source of polyphenols. The diffusion of polyphenols from thyme extract, dispersion of conventional liposomes and liposomes modified with Tween 20 and Tween 60 was studied using Franz diffusion cell. From the experimental data diffusion coefficients were determined for each of the systems, as well as the corresponding diffusion resistances. From the obtained results it can be concluded that the encapsulation of polyphenols in liposomes significantly slows diffusion, and with membrane modification can be achieved further slowing. The diffusion resistance of the liposome membrane modified with Tween 20 and Tween 60 is about 5 times higher compared to the diffusion of unencapsulated polyphenols from the thyme extract.
