Biocompatible and biodegradable sustained drug delivery system has been constructed from reaction between norfloxacin and cyclodextrin through secondary amine of piperazine ring and hydroxyl group of the carbohydrate. Covalent bond polymeric structure is designed by the help of chloroacetyl chloride, target dendrimer formed by removing two hydrochloride molecules. The development of cyclodextrin core drug delivery system with twenty one norfloxacin surface moiety has been synthesized by only two steps. The synthesized polymeric structure was thoroughly studied by NMR, FT-IR, MALDI and UV- spectrometry. Sustained release assessment of synthetic polymer studied through different buffer solution by UV spectrometry and norfloxacin releases rate of synthetic polymer was controlled by the concentration and the experimental medium. The microbial assessments through kinetic studies by using Escherichia coli also reveal that the norfloxacin released possesses potential antimicrobial activity. Antibacterial activity of synthesized drug delivery system has been investigated with gram-negative and gram-positive species like Escherichia coli (mtcc 443), bacillus subtilis (mtcc 2063), pseudomonas (mtcc 741), staphylococcus (mtcc 737) and proteus mirabilis (mtcc 425). The hydrophobic and hydrophilic balance and the repeat drug unit of this synthesized system are responsible for effective antibacterial activity. The minimum inhibitor concentration values of this system are very small to 100 µg/mL-1, synthesized compound shown five times improved activity against organism on comparism with standard drug. The in-vitro release of norfloxacin from obtained dendrimer was investigated.

BACKGROUND: Turmeric extract is less effective because the main ingredient of curcumin has a low solubility. Therefore, it is necessary to convert turmeric extract into a solid dispersion form to increase the dissolution of curcumin. AIM: To determine the antibacterial activity of mucoadhesive gastroretentive drug delivery system of alginate beads containing solid dispersion of turmeric extract. METHODS: Turmeric powder was macerated with 96% ethanol for 8 days. The macerate was evaporated with a rotary evaporator at 50°C to obtain concentrated extract. Solid dispersion of turmeric extract was prepared by solvent method by using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) K30 with a ratio of 1: 1 and 1: 2. The solid dispersion of turmeric extract was encapsulated with alginate gel by gelation method. The antibacterial of alginate beads containing solid dispersion of turmeric extract was tested by using hole agar plate diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli as bacterial models. RESULTS: The size of alginate beads containing turmeric extract-PVP solid dispersion was about 1.3 mm. Antibacterial activity test against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli showed that alginate beads containing turmeric extract-PVP solid dispersion gave stronger antibacterial activity than those containing turmeric extract without solid dispersion. The antibacterial activity of alginate beads turmeric extract-PVP (1: 2) solid dispersion was stronger than those containing turmeric-extract (1: 1) solid dispersion. CONCLUSION: Based on the results of this study it can be concluded that alginate beads containing turmeric extract-PVP solid dispersion gives the stronger antibacterial activity than those containing turmeric extract without solid dispersion.

A Microsponge (MS) is an extremely interconnected, permeable, polymeric structure that involves permeable microparticles trapping and discharging through the skin for a considerable time period. Drug delivery system (DDS) offer extended discharge with less degradation, improved physical stability along with better tolerance. The main intend of any DDS is to achieve the required amount of drug in plasma to produce the desired therapeutic and non-poisonous effect over a prolonged period of time. Specific methods for preparing MS were reviewed in this current investigation, and their pharmaceutical implementations were signed. MS have major DDS point of interest. It also improves stability, increased flexibility in formulation and increased elegance. In fact, numerous studies have reported that MS supplies are not allergic, mutagenic, and poisonous. MS creativity is used in products such as sunscreen, prescription, cosmetics, and OTC skin care. This inquiry primarily focuses on the different methods used to identify, plan and exploit MS.

Ranitidine microemulsion was investigated for its pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic evaluation to find out the suitability of microemulsion as a potential drug delivery system in the treatment of ulcer. The bioavailability of ranitidine after oral administration is about 50% and is absorbed via the small intestine; this may be due to low intestinal permeability. Hence the aim of present investigation was to maximize the therapeutic efficacy of ranitidine by developing microemulsion to increase the intestinal permeability as well as bioavailability. A ground nut oil based microemulsion formulation with Tween-80 as surfactant and PEG-400 as cosurfactant was developed for oral delivery of ranitidine and characterized for physicochemical parameters. In pharmacodynamic studies, significant (P<0.05) variation in parameters estimated was found between the treated and control groups. Ranitidine microemulsion exhibited higher absorption and Cmax (863.20 ng·h/mL) than the standard (442.20 ng/mL). It was found that AUC0–24 hr obtained from the optimized ranitidine test formulation (5426.5 ng·h/mL) was significantly higher than the standard ranitidine (3920.4 ng·h/mL). The bioavailability of optimized formulation was about 1.4-fold higher than that of standard drug. This enhanced bioavailability of ranitidine microemulsion may be used as an effective and alternative drug delivery system for the antiulcer therapy.

The objective of the current study was to introduce “Polylactic co-Glycolic Acid- (PLGA-) Coated Ceramic Microparticles” as an innovative drug delivery system, loaded with a new combination of triple antibiotics (penicillin G, metronidazole, and ciprofloxacin (PMC)) for use in endodontic treatments. Ceramic microparticles were made from β-tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite and examined by “Scanning Electronic Microscope (SEM).” Then, fixed amounts of the selected antibiotics were added to a prepared PLGA solution and stirred thoroughly. Next, the prepared ceramic microparticles were dispersed completely in the drugs solution. The deposited “PMC-loaded PLGA-coated ceramic microspheres (PPCMs)” were dried and incubated in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) for 21 days. The drug release from PPCMs was quantified by a UV spectrophotometer. The antimicrobial activity of PPCMs was investigated using the “Agar Plate Diffusion Test (ADT),” “Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC),” and “Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC)” against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A.a). The cell viability test (MTT) was conducted for cytotoxicity against human gingival fibroblasts. SEM micrographs of PPCMs showed spherical-like ceramic microparticles with smooth surfaces. Crystal-like antibiotic particles (chunks) were also found on PPCMs. Initial burst of antibiotics (31 µg/mL, 160 µg/mL, and 18 µg/mL for ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and penicillin G, respectively, in the first 4 days) followed by gradual and sustained release was observed within a period of 21 days. PPCMs demonstrated pH close to normal physiological environment and antibacterial activity against E. faecalis and A.a in the first 2 days. MTT showed cell viability of more than 70% for PPCMs after 24 h and 72 h of exposure. In conclusion, PPCMs demonstrated satisfactory release of antibiotics, antibacterial activity against the selected microorganisms, and biocompatibility. Thus, PPCMs may be used to deliver modified triple antibiotics to the root canal system for use in endodontic applications.

Mangosteen peels have antibacterial activity. SNEDDS has many advantages in developing a drug delivery system to increase the penetration of active compounds. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the antibacterial SNEDDS of ethyl acetate fraction from mangosteen peels and ethyl acetate fraction of mangosteen peels without SNEDDS preparation as an antibacterial against Eschericia coli, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, and Proteus mirabilis, that cause diabetic ulcers. This research began with maceration. The thick ethanol extracts were continued and fractionation was carried out with ethyl acetate solvents then was formulated into SNEDDS. The measurement of the antibacterial activity with the bacterial growth inhibition parameters of SNEDDS preparations extracted from ethyl acetate fraction of mangosteen peels was compared with ethyl acetate fraction of mangosteen peels without SNEDDS preparation. Data were analyzed using independent sample T-Test. The results showed the SNEDDS preparation of ethyl acetate fraction from mangosteen peel had activity against both types of bacteria causing diabetic ulcers, but it had no activity against Proteus mirabilis. The results of statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences in the activity of SNEDDS ethyl acetate fraction of mangosteen peels and ethyl acetate fraction of mangosteen peels without SNEDDS in Eschericia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
