In Situ Forming Gel

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the supporting structures of the tooth caused by bacterial infection which can result in tooth loss. The local intra-pocket drug delivery system was interesting and highly effective for periodontitis treatment. In situ forming gel system is the polymeric solution which could transform into gel for localizing and sustaining the drug release at desired site. This system has been recommended as one of suitable delivery system for this purpose. Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) in situ forming gels were developed using Eudragit RS as polymer dispersed in N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP). Peppermint oil and polyethylene glycol 1500 were also incorporated as the excipients. The prepared systems were evaluated for rheology, syringeability (using texture analyzers), in situ gel formation (after injection into PBS pH 6.8), antimicrobial activity (against Streptococcus mutans with agar diffusion) and drug release (with dialysis method in PBS pH 6.8 at 50 rpm, 37 °C). The viscosity and syringeability of the prepared systems was increased as the amount of BPO, peppermint oil or PEG 1500 was increased. All prepared gels showed the Newtonian flow which the viscosity was decreased as the temperature was increased. All prepared gels comprising peppermint oil and PEG 1500 could form in situ gel in used medium which the pH was close to the environment pH of periodontal pocket. The inhibition zone against Streptococcus mutans of the prepared system was significantly decreased when the peppermint oil and PEG 1500 was incorporated owing to the higher viscous environment and thereafter retardation of drug diffusion was evident. This effect could prolong the drug release. From drug release test, all prepared gels could sustain the BPO release for at least 96 hrs. Release kinetic obtained from curve fitting with various release equations using least square fit technique indicated that the release patterns were as Higuchi’s model therefore the release of BPO was performed with diffusion control. This developed BPO in situ forming gel presented its ability as the controlled drug delivery system for localized antimicrobial activity at periodontal pocket.

Preformulation Studies

The aim of present work was to prepare colon specific delivery system of Ornidazole using different ratio of shellac, zein and guar gum. From study of various literature it revealed that shellac, zein and guar gum released drug from dosage form at the pH of 6.9, 11.5, 7-9 respectively. The main problem associated with colon targeted drug delivery system is degradation of drug in the acidic environment of stomach to circumvent the present problem different combinations of shellac, zein and guar gum were employed in the formulation of colon targeted tablet. Several preformulation parameters were determined such as melting point, FTIR spectroscopy, preparation of calibration curve, determination of λmax and partition coefficient. After the preformulation studies, next steps were preparation of core tablets, evaluation of core of tablets and coating of tablets. The data obtained from preformulation study seven formulations were developed and evaluated for various parameters. Based on evaluated parameter such as weight variation, friability, dissolution study, invitro drug release etc. the F7 formulation show better results colon targeted tablets. Drug content in F7 formulation was 95% and drug release after 6 hrs was 96%. Formulation containing combination of shellac, zein and guar gum released least amount of drug in the acidic environment of stomach and released most of the drug in colon. It is evide

Optimal Drug

In this study, we aimed to develop a multifunctional drug/gene delivery system for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme by combining the ligand-mediated active targeting and the pH-triggered drug release features of graphene oxide (GO). Toward this end, we load irinotecan (CPT-11) to cetuximab (CET)-conjugated GO (GO-CET/CPT11) for pH-responsive drug release after endocytosis by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) over-expressed U87 human glioblastoma cells. The ultimate injectable drug/gene delivery system was designed by co-entrapping stomatin-like protein 2 (SLP2) short hairpin RNA (shRNA) and GO-CET/CPT11 in thermosensitive chitosan-g-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (CPN) polymer solution, which offers a hydrogel depot for localized, sustained delivery of the therapeutics after the in situ formation of CPN@GO-CET/CPT11@shRNA hydrogel. An optimal drug formulation was achieved by considering both the loading efficiency and loading content of CPT-11 on GO-CET. A sustained and controlled release behavior was found for CPT-11 and shRNA from CPN hydrogel. Confocal microscopy analysis confirmed the intracellular trafficking for the targeted delivery of CPT-11 through interactions of CET with EGFR on the U87 cell surface. The efficient transfection of U87 using SLP2 shRNA was achieved using CPN as a delivery milieu, possibly by the formation of shRNA/CPN polyplex after hydrogel degradation. In vitro cell culture experiments confirmed cell apoptosis induced by CPT-11 released from acid organelles in the cytoplasm by flow cytometry, as well as reduced SLP2 protein expression and inhibited cell migration due to gene silencing. Finally, in vivo therapeutic efficacy was demonstrated using the xenograft of U87 tumor-bearing nude mice through non-invasive intratumoral delivery of CPN@GO-CET/CPT11@shRNA by injection. Overall, we have demonstrated the novelty of this thermosensitive hydrogel to be an excellent depot for the co-delivery of anticancer drugs and siRNA. The in situ forming hydrogel will not only provide extended drug release but also combine the advantages offered by the chitosan-based copolymer structure for siRNA delivery to broaden treatment modalities in cancer therapy.

In situ forming delivery systems composed of block copolymers are attracting substantial attention due to their ease of use, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. In this study, the thermoresponsive triblock copolymer PLGA-PEG-PLGA was studied as a dexamethasone delivery system. Dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid, is used clinically to improve inflammation, pain, and the hyperemesis of chemotherapy, and it is applied experimentally as a differentiation factor in tissue engineering. PLGA-PEG-PLGA was synthesised under microwave irradiation for 5 min. The obtained copolymer was characterised to determine its structure and phase transition temperature. An in vitro release study was conducted for various copolymer structures and drug concentrations. The yield of the reaction and HNMR analysis confirmed the appropriateness of the microwave-assisted method for PLGA-PEG-PLGA synthesis. Phase transition temperature was affected by the drug molecule as well as by the copolymer concentration and structure. An in vitro release study demonstrated that release occurs mainly by diffusion and does not depend on the copolymer structure or dexamethasone concentration.

The present investigation deals with formulation and development of novel ophthalmic in situ gel formulation of Moxifloxacin in order to treat common disorder of conjunctivitis. The formulation contains combination of two polymers like Poloxamer 4–7 and chitosan both help in sustaining and increasing the drug release as well as retention time of drug at contact site. Thus developed formulation was evaluated for various parameters. The moxifloxacin in situ gel was found to be clear with ph in range of 6.8–7.0. The gelling time was also found to be quick with prolong retention up to 8 hrs. The optimized batch showed maximum release of 99.98% and was found to have sustained action when compared to marketed ophthalmic eye drop formulation. The formulation of Ophthalmic Thermosensitive in situ gel for Moxifloxacin was successfully prepared using Polymer combination of Poloxamer 407 and chitosan and found effective in the treatment of Conjunctivitis.
