This study aimed to prepare diclofenac sodium (DCF)–loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) (DCF-loaded NLCs) for optimizing the NLCs by using the Box-Behnken design. A hot emulsification method using an ultrasonic probe was employed to prepare DCF-loaded NLCs. The active ingredient, solid lipid, oil, and emulsifier were DCF, glyceryl monostearate (GMS) (X1), oleic acid (X2), and polysorbate 80 (X3), respectively. The DCF-loaded NLCs had particle sizes of 69.29–187.3 nm. The polydispersity index (PDI) was in the range of 0.216–0.516, indicating a relatively narrow size distribution. The zeta potential of all formulations revealed the negative charge and ranged between -26.0 and -42.13 mV. The percentage encapsulation efficiency (%EE) was 92.71%–104.21%. The responses of all model formulations were created and the optimized formulation was selected by Design-Expert® software. The optimal formulation was composed of 2 g GMS, 0.926 g oleic acid, and 2.724 g polysorbate 80. The particle size and PDI experimental values with the optimal formulation did not differ from those predicted and were within the 95% CI. Therefore, the Box-Behnken design could be efficient in formulating and optimizing DCF-loaded NLCs.

The Stability

Resveratrol (Res) loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) were prepared by high shear homogenization and ultrasonication technique. Caprylic/capric glyceride (IM) was used as a liquid lipid, while glyceryl monostearate (GMS), beeswax (BW), palmitic acid (PA) and myristic acid (MA) at various concentrations (5, 10, 15, and 20 %w/w) were solid lipids. Polyoxyethylene 20 sorbitan monooleate or polysorbate 80 (Tween® 80) was use as a surfactant. The results showed that all concentration of PA and MA can be prepared the smaller particle NLC than that using GMS and BW according to the small molecule of MA and PA. The zeta potential of Res loaded NLCs were negative charge (-24.30 to -37.80 mV), which could be considered as a stable system. The stability studies revealed that NLCs with MA and PA showed a - high stability in particle size and zeta potential after storage at 40 ± 2°C /75 %RH for 3 months. These results suggested the MA and PA were suitable solid lipids for the NLCs preparation which have potential to be a nanoparticulate carrier for Res delivery.

Nigella sativa, also known as black cumin, an annual herbaceous plant growing especially in Mediterranean countries, has recently gained considerable interest not only for its use as spice and condiment but also for its healthy properties of the fixed and essential oil and its potential as a biofuel. Nigella sativa seeds fixed oil, due to its high content in linoleic acid followed by oleic and palmitic acid, could be beneficial to human health. The objective of this study is to determine the optimum conditions for the solvent extraction of Nigella sativa seeds fixed oil using a three-level, three-factor Box-Behnken design (BBD) under response surface methodology (RSM). The obtained experimental data, fitted by a second-order polynomial equation were analysed by Pareto analysis of variance (ANOVA). From a total of 10 coefficients of the statistical model only 5 are important. The obtained experimental values agreed with the predicted ones.

AbstractBiodegradable porous silicon (pSi) particles are under development for drug delivery applications. The optimum particle size very much depends on medical use, and microparticles can outperform nanoparticles in specific instances. Here we demonstrate the ability of sedimentation to size-select ultrasmall (1–10 μm) nanoporous microparticles in common solvents. Size tunability is quantified for 1–24 h of sedimentation. Experimental values of settling times in ethanol and water are compared to those calculated using Stokes’ Law. Differences can arise due to particle agglomeration, internal gas generation and incomplete wetting. Air-dried and supercritically-dried pSi powders are shown to have, for example, their median diameter d (0.5) particle sizes reduced from 13 to 1 μm and from 20 to 3 μm, using sedimentation times of 6 and 2 h respectively. Such filtered microparticles also have much narrower size distributions and are hence suitable for administration in 27 gauge microneedles, commonly used in intravitreal drug delivery.

Patients with beta-thalassaemia major need blood transfusion frequently during their whole life. However, frequent transfusions will eventually lead to the accumulation of trivalent iron, resulting in iron overload. To reduce iron overload, patients are administered regularly with intravenous or subcutaneous infusion of deferioxamine mesylate (DFO). Nevertheless, high costs of medication, poor patient compliance, and side effects limit its use and patient's acceptance. To overcome such drawbacks, we developed a novel transdermal delivery system to administer the DFO instead of traditional injections. We assayed the feasibility of fabricating a transdermal DFO patch using the single-layer drug-in-adhesive drug delivery system. We used the pressure-sensitive adhesives and hydrogels as the drug reservoirs and studied the release profile of DFO from the transdermal patches in vitro. In order to enhance the transdermal delivery rate, chemical enhancers, polysorbate 80 and oleic acid, and physical enhancer, ultrasound, were incorporated into the monolith DFO patches. Experimental results showed that the combination of polysorbate 80 and oleic acid in the pressure-sensitive adhesives enhanced the penetration efficiency through nude mice skin. The pretreatment of nude mice skin with ultrasound temporally changed the diffusional resistance and facilitated DFO penetration through the skin. We expect that the new delivery system can enable the drug to penetrate through skin at a stable rate and reach the circulation system successfully, thus allowing the concentration of drug to achieve the therapeutic effect.

The aim of this study was to prepare Caalginate and chitosan (CS)Caalginate microparticles for peroral delivery of ovalbumin (OVA). Microparticles containing different loading of OVA (10, 20 and 40 % w/w) were prepared by cross-linking alginate with calcium chloride using an electrohydrodynamic spraying technique, and then coated with CS. The particle sizes of OVA-loaded microparticles were in the range of 1-5 µm. The negative charge was obtained for Caalginate microparticles (-14±1.9 mV) whereas CSCaalginate microparticles were positive charge (+6.06±3.4 mV). Caalginate microparticles with initial 20% w/w OVA showed the highest entrapment efficiency and amount of OVA content (24.91±0.4% and 33.22±0.1 mg/g, respectively) as similar to CSCaalginate microparticles with initial 20% w/w OVA that showed the highest entrapment efficiency and amount of OVA content (35.74±0.1% and 10.35±0.5 mg/g, respectively). It was found that the release rate of OVA from Caalginate microparticles was higher than CSCaalginate microparticles, and the lowest release rate, sustained release for 24 h, was found in the initial 40% w/w OVA. This study revealed that CSCaalginate microparticles have a considerable potential as controlled release antigen delivery systems.
