This study aimed to provide a new drug delivery system for hydrophobic compounds. Dexamethasone (DEX) was employed as a hydrophobic model drug, which incorporated into the network of hydroxyapatite (HA)/Cyclodextrin (β-CD) nanocomposite. Phase analysis, chemical bonding, morphology, and drug release was evaluated using XRD, FTIR, FESEM, and UV-vis spectroscopy, respectively. XRD patterns showed the formation of the crystalline structure and FTIR analysis showed the chemical bonding between organic and inorganic phases. FESEM images accompanied by EDX analysis confirmed the presence of HA nano-flakes. Release of DEX loaded β-CD/HA was measured to be around 4.6% and 18.7% in pH5.3 and pH 7.4, respectively. In conclusion, the prepared system could be a potential pH sensitive carrier for sustainable release of water-insoluble drugs.

: This work demonstrates a simple approach for coating a porous polymer layer on stainless-steel (SS) microneedles characterized by a pH-responsive formulation for self-regulated drug delivery. For many drug-delivery applications, the release of therapeutic agents in an acidic microenvironment is desirable. Acid-sensitive polymers and hydrogels were extensively explored, but easily prepared polymeric microcarriers that combine acid sensitivity and biodegradability are rare. Here, we describe a simple and robust method of coating a porous polymer layer on SS microneedles (MNs) that release a model drug (lidocaine) in a pH-responsive fashion. It was constructed by packing the model drug and a pH-sensitive component (sodium bicarbonate) into the pores of the polymer layer. When this acid-sensitive formulation was exposed to the acidic microenvironment, the consequent reaction of protons (H+) with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) yielded CO2. This effect generated pressure inside the pores of the coating and ruptured the thin polymer membrane, thereby releasing the encapsulated drug. Scanning electron micrographs showed that the pH-sensitive porous polymer-coated MNs exposed to phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.4 were characterized by closed pores. However, MNs exposed to PBS at pH 5.5 consisted of open pores and the thin membrane burst. The in vitro studies demonstrated the pH sensitivity of the drug release from porous polymer-coated MNs. Negligible release was observed for MNs in receiving media at pH 7.4. In contrast, significant release occurred when the MNs were exposed to acidic conditions (pH 5.5). Additionally, comparable results were obtained for drug release in vitro in porcine skin and in PBS. This revealed that our developed pH-responsive porous polymer-coated MNs could potentially be used for the controlled release of drug formulations in an acidic environment. Moreover, the stimuli-responsive drug carriers will enable on-demand controlled release profiles that may enhance therapeutic effectiveness and reduce systemic toxicity.

Chitosan is a natural polymer obtained from exoskeletons of crustaceans and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic polymer which has excellent film forming ability along with non-toxic nature. The current work focuses on synthesizing a smart polymer by copolymerization of natural and synthetic polymers and exploring its applications in drug delivery. The copolymers were blended in different ratios and were synthesized using ammonium ceric nitrate as initiator and glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent which were converted to films by casting method. Amoxicillin, as a model drug was incorporated to the copolymerized films to study the in-vitro drug release. The films obtained were evaluated by varying the pH to study the pH responsive nature of films. Drug release studies were performed to obtain the release profile of drug; water uptake capacity of the copolymerized film were measured to determine the swelling behaviour of the films. The films were further characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to identify the structural and morphological changes along with thermal transitions. The results indicate that the synthesized copolymers are pH responsive in nature having great potential for application in controlled and targeted drug delivery.

In this study, nanotubular materials multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used to encapsulate a model drug, doxorubicine hydrochloride (DOX). Then, the drug-loaded nanotubes (DOX/CNTs) with an optimized drug encapsulation percentage were mixed with poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) polymer solution for subsequent electrospinning to form drug-loaded composite nanofibrous mats. The morphology was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The proliferation of mouse fibroblast cells cultured on both PLGA and CNTs-doped PLGA fibrous scaffolds were compared through 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay of cell viability and SEM observation of cell morphology. In vitro drug release behavior was examined using UV-vis spectroscopy. We show that the incorporation of CNTs and DOX/CNTs within the nanofibrous mats does not significantly change the morphology of the mats. In addition, our results indicate that this double-container drug delivery system (both PLGA polymer and CNTs are drug carriers) is beneficial to avoid the burst release of the drug. The drug loaded elctrospinning composite nanofibrous mats developed in this study may find various applications in tissues engineering and pharmaceutical sciences.

In this paper, a new pH/temperature sensitive beads with core-shelled structure, composed of sodium alginate and poly(N-acryloylglycinate), were prepared using as drug delivery carrier. Selecting indomethacin as a model drug, in vitro drug release behaviors were investigated at different temperatures, phosphate buffer solutions (PBS) and polymer content. At pH=2.1, the release amount of indomethacin loaded in the beads was only 2.46% while this value approached to 95.23% in pH=7.4 PBS. In addition, the release rate of indomethacin at 37°C is much higher than at 18°C.

A novel liposome-in-microsphere (LIM) formulation has been created comprising drug-loaded liposomes within pH responsive Eudragit S100 microspheres. The liposomes contained the model drug 5-ASA and were coated with chitosan in order to protect them during encapsulation within the microspheres and to improve site-specific release characteristics.In vitrodrug release studies showed that LIMs prevented drug release within simulated stomach and small intestine conditions with subsequent drug release occurring in large intestine conditions. The formulation therefore has potential for oral colonic drug delivery.

A novel pH-sensitive poly (2-(acryloyloxy) propanoic acid) hydrogel (PAPA) synthesized from lactic acid by radical polymerization has been investigated in this work. The structure of prepared monomer2-(acryloyloxy) propanoic acid) (APA) has been characterized by FTIR and1H-NMR measurements. PAPA hydrogel demonstrated an obvious pH sensitivity in its swelling in the range of 4-7 pH of phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The rapid response of the hydrogel makes it suitable for drug delivery application. Here, salicylic acid (SA) selected as a model drug, thein-vitrodrug release as a function of pH and temperature was studied systematically. The cumulative release of salicylic acid reached up to 86.6% in pH=7.4 PBS at 37.0°C within 550min. In pH=2.1 PBS, however, only 26.6% drug was released from the pH-sensitive PAPA on the same conditions.

The objective of present investigation was to enhance brain penetration of Lamivudine, one of the most widely used drugs for the treatment of AIDS. This was achieved through incorporating the drug into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) prepared by using emulsion solvent diffusion technique. The formulations were characterized for surface morphology, size and size distribution, percent drug entrapment and drug release. The optimum rotation speed, resulting into better drug entrapment and percent yield, was in the range of 1000-1250 r/min. In vitro cumulative % drug release from optimized SLN formulation was found 40-50 % in PBS (pH-7.4) and SGF (pH-1.2) respectively for 10 h. After 24 h more than 65 % of the drug was released from all formulations in both mediums meeting the requirement for drug delivery for prolong period of time.
