Development and characterization of lutein-loaded SNEDDS for enhanced absorption in Caco-2 cells.

Niamprem P1, Rujivipat S, Tiyaboonchai W.Author information 1Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Naresuan University , Phitsanulok 65000 , Thailand.AbstractA self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) has been developed for enhanced oral bioavailability of lutein. Its permeation enhancement has been evaluated using monolayers of Caco-2 cells. SNEDDS is composed of a mixture of Lexol® and Emulmetik® 900, Labrasol®, and Tween 80 as oil, surfactant and co-surfactant, respectively. Upon dilution of lutein-loaded SNEDDS with water, a nanoemulsion was obtained in <10 s with spherical droplets of 40-150 nm in diameter. The zeta potential was in the range of -19 to -32 mV. Increasing the ratio of surfactant to co-surfactant decreased the mean droplet size. Dissolution studies showed that lutein was released rapidly (<5 min) from SNEDDS into 0.1 N HCl and pH 6.8 phosphate buffer solution without any aggregation. In vitro studies using Caco-2 cells revealed that lutein-loaded SNEDDS showed shorter lag time and greater (2-fold) cellular accumulation compared with the lutein dispersion.

Fast disintegrating tablets of nisoldipine for intra-oral administration.

El Maghraby GM1, Elsergany RN.Author information 1Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, College of Pharmacy, University of Tanta , Tanta , Egypt.AbstractNisoldipine is a calcium channel blocker with low and variable oral bioavailability. This was attributed to slow dissolution and presystemic metabolism. Accordingly, the objective of this work was to enhance the dissolution rate of nisoldipine to formulate fast disintegrating tablets with rapid dissolution. Binary solid dispersions (SD) were prepared for the drug with hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose E5 (HPMC), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), Pluronic F68 or polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG 6000). SD formation increased the dissolution rate compared to pure drug with the corresponding physical mixtures failing to provide the same dissolution enhancement. This indicates that the SD enhanced dissolution is not due to the solubilizing effect of the polymer and can be due to physical change in the drug crystal which was confirmed by thermal analysis. SD with HPMC and PVP were selected for preparation of fast disintegrating tablets as they liberated most of the drug in the first 5 min. HPMC-based tablets disintegrated rapidly and released most of the drug in the first 2 min which correlated with the corresponding SD. In contrast, PVP-based tablets disintegrated slowly with gradual dissolution. This can be attributed to the binding effect of PVP. The study developed fast disintegrating tablet for intra-oral administration.

A convenient sandwich assay of thrombin in biological media using nanoparticle-enhanced fluorescence polarization.

Yue Q1, Shen T2, Wang L2, Xu S2, Li H2, Xue Q2, Zhang Y2, Gu X3, Zhang S3, Liu J4.Author information 1Department of Chemistry, Liaocheng University, Liaocheng 252059, PR China. Electronic address: yueqiaoli@gmail.com.2Department of Chemistry, Liaocheng University, Liaocheng 252059, PR China.3Shandong Provincial Key Lab of Test Technology on Food Quality and Safety, Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Jinan 250100, PR China.4Department of Chemistry, Liaocheng University, Liaocheng 252059, PR China. Electronic address: liujifeng111@gmail.com.AbstractA new aptamer biosensor was presented for the detection of thrombin in this work, which was based on fluorescence polarization (FP) using silica nanoparticles as enhancement probe. The silica nanoparticles covered by streptavidin were tagged with a thrombin aptamer (5'-biotin-GGTTGGTGTGGTTGG-3'), which was bound to the surface of silica nanoparticle through the specific interaction between streptavidin and biotin. In the presence of thrombin, it induced the aptamer to form quadruplex structure. When the other thrombin aptamer labeled with fluorescein (5'-FAM-AGTCCGTGGTAGGGCAGGTTGGGGTGACT-3') was added to the above system, a sandwich structure can form at the surface of silica nanoparticles. The fluorescence polarization was therefore enhanced and quantification between fluorescence polarization signal and concentration of thrombin was built. The sensor provided a linear range from 0.6 to 100nM for thrombin with a detection limit of 0.20nM (3.29SB/m, according to the recent recommendation of IUPAC) in a homogeneous media. The same linear range was obtained in spiked human serum samples with a slightly higher detection limit (0.26nM), demonstrating high anti-interference of the sensor in a complex biological sample matrix. And the sensor can be used to monitor spiked concentration of thrombin level in real human plasma with satisfactory results obtained.
