Chitosan-silica (CS-SiO2) hybrid microspheres were prepared through the combined process of sol-gel and emulsification-crosslinking. Their composition, morphology, in vitro bioactivity, and drug release behavior were investigated. The results showed that, when 20 wt% SiO2 was incorporated, the as-prepared CS-SiO2 hybrid microspheres exhibited a regular spherical shape, a high dispersity, and a uniform microstructure. Their average particle diameter was determined to be about 24.0 μm. The in situ deposited inorganic phase of the hybrid microspheres was identified as amorphous SiO2, and its actual content was determined by the TG analysis. As compared with the pure chitosan microspheres, the CS-SiO2 hybrid microspheres displayed a greatly improved in vitro bioactivity. Vancomycin hydrochloride (VH) was selected as a model drug. It was demonstrated that the CS-SiO2 hybrid microspheres presented a good capacity for both loading and sustained release of VH. Moreover, the increase of the SiO2 content efficiently slowed down the drug release rate of the CS-SiO2 hybrid microspheres.

Hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3OH) is a well-known bioceramics material used in medical applications because of its ability to form direct chemical bonds with living tissues. In this context, we investigate the biocompatibility and dielectric properties of Sr2+-substituted hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method. The influence of strontium on the crystal structure, functional group, morphological, electrical properties, and biocompatibility of as-synthesized nano-hydroxyapatite samples was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Dielectrical properties of the bioactive Sr-HA sample were investigated by a dielectric impedance spectroscopy method. The observed results illustrate the incorporation of Sr2+ ions in the apatite lattice could influence the pure HA properties, by reducing the crystallite size and crystallinity quite consistent with the morphology variation. The ac conductivity (σac) increased with an increasing applied frequency confirmed that prepared HA sample exhibited the universal power law nature. Further, the in vitro drug loading and release studies using doxycycline as a model drug demonstrate that the Sr2+ -HA nanoparticles show high drug adsorption capacity and sustained drug release. Thus, the improved bioceramics system could be a promising candidate for future biomedical applications.

In situ gel, a new concept of medical product for oral applications was developed using Poloxamer 407 (P) and Carbopol 934 (C) which are thermo-and pH-sensitive sol-gel polymers, respectively. The formulations were evaluated for the physical appearance, pH, viscosity, sol-gel temperature, gel strength and buccal mucoadhesive (adhesion to porcine buccal mucosa). Benzalkonium chloride (BzCl) 0.1% w/v was added in the suitable formulations as a model drug. Formulations containing 20% P (pH = 7.1) and 20% P + 0.6% C (pH = 5.0) showed good physical appearances which turned to gels in buccal conditions. Their mucoadhesive force to porcine buccal mucosa were higher than formulations containing 10 and 15 % P(p<0.05). The present of 0.6 % C in the formulation did not affect gel strength but tended to increase mucoadhesive properties. The release of BzCl from the formulations was performed using Franz diffusion cell at 37°C for 1 hour. There were no different in drug release from both formulations(p<0.05), the amount of drug release was 11.7% ± 4.4 and 10.9% ± 0.8, respectively. In conclusion, formulation containing 20% P and 0.6% C has revealed the most suitable properties as in situ gel for buccal mucosa applications, the release of BzCl was 10.9% ± 0.8 within 1 hour.

Drug Incorporation

Inorganic matrices and biopolymers have been widely used in pharmaceutical fields. They show properties such as biocompatibility, incorporation capacity, and controlled drug release, which can become more attractive if they are combined to form hybrid materials. This work proposes the synthesis of new drug delivery systems (DDS) based on magnesium phyllosilicate (Talc) obtained by the sol–gel route method, the biopolymer chitosan (Ch), and the inorganic-organic hybrid formed between this matrix (Talc + Ch), obtained using glutaraldehyde as a crosslink agent, and to study their incorporation/release capacity of amiloride as a model drug. The systems were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Therma analysis TG/DTG, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) that supported the DDS’s formation. The hybrid showed a better drug incorporation capacity compared to the precursors, with a loading of 55.74, 49.53, and 4.71 mg g−1 for Talc + Ch, Talc, and Ch, respectively. The release assays were performed on a Hanson Research SR-8 Plus dissolver using apparatus I (basket), set to guarantee the sink conditions. The in vitro release tests showed a prolongation of the release rates of this drug for at least 4 h. This result proposes that the systems implies the slow and gradual release of the active substance, favoring the maintenance of the plasma concentration within a therapeutic window.

Introduction: Hydrodynamically balanced system (HBS) possesses prolonged and continuous delivery of the drug to the gastrointestinal tract which improves the rate and extent of medications that have a narrow absorption window. The objective of this work was to develop a Hydrodynamically Balanced System (HBS) of Metoprolol Succinate (MS) as a model drug for sustained stomach specific delivery. Materials and Methods: Experimental batches were designed according to 3(2) Taguchi factorial design. A total of 9 batches were prepared for batch size 100 capsules each. Formulations were prepared by physically blending MS with polymers followed by encapsulation into hard gelatin capsule shell of size 0. Polymers used were Low Molecular Weight Chitosan (LMWCH), Crushed Puffed Rice (CPR), and Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose K15 M (HPMC K15M). Two factors used were buoyancy time (Y1) and time taken for 60% drug release (T60%; Y2). Results: The drug excipient interaction studies were performed by the thermal analysis method which depicts that no drug excipient interaction occurs. In vitro buoyancy studies and drug release studies revealed the efficacy of HBS to remain gastro retentive for a prolonged period and concurrently sustained the release of MS in highly acidic medium. All formulations followed zero-order kinetics. Conclusion: Developed HBS of MS with hydrogel-forming polymers could be an ideal delivery system for sustained stomach specific delivery and would be useful for the cardiac patients where the prolonged therapeutic action is required.

In Situ Gelling

The poor bioavailability and the therapeutic effectiveness exhibited by the anti-depressant venlafaxine hydrochloride on oral administration is overcome by the use of ion-activated gel forming systems that are instilled as drops; these undergo gelation in the nasal cavity. The present study describes the design, characterization and evaluation of mucoadhesive nasal in situ gelling drug delivery of venlafaxine hydrochloride using different polymers like sodium alginate, HPMC and pectin in various concentrations. DSC studies revealed compatibility of the drug and excipients used. The in situ gels were characterized for physicochemical parameters, gelling ability, rheological studies, drug content, drug entrapment efficiency, in vitro mucoadhesive strength, water holding capacity, gel expansion coefficient and in vitro drug release studies. The amount of polymer blends was optimized using 23 full factorial design. The influence of experimental factors on percentage cumulative drug release at the end of 2 and 8 hours were investigated to get optimized formulation. The responses were analyzed using ANOVA and polynomial equation was generated for each response using multiple linear regression analysis. Optimized formulation, F9, containing 1.98% w/V sodium alginate, 0.64% w/V hydroxylpropyl methylcellulose, 0.99% w/V pectin showed percentage cumulative drug release of 19.33 and 80.44 at the end of 2 and 8 hours, respectively, which were close to the predicted values. The optimized formulation was subjected to stability study for three months at 300C /75% RH. The stability study revealed no significant change in pH, drug content and viscosity. Thus, venlafaxine hydrochloride nasal mucoadhesive in situ gel could be successfully formulated to improve bioavailability and to target the brain.
