Desmopressin acetate (DA) is a first-line option for the treatment of hemophilia A, von Willebrand's disease, nocturnal enuresis, central diabetes insipidus, and various traumatic injuries. We extended previously reported desmopressin-loaded elastic liposomes (ODEL1) to investigate mechanistic insights into ODEL1 mediated augmented permeation across rat skin. HSPiP software and instrumental techniques such as differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and fluorescent microscopy provided better understandings of permeation behavior.

Clinical trials revealed that pioglitazone (PGZ) and dapagliflozin (DGZ) not only maintain normal blood glucose levels but also reduce complications of diabetes mellitus. To meet the demand for simultaneous measurement of these drugs in fixed combinations, an optimized and green UPLC method is required. The present study utilized Design of Experiments (DoE) software to optimize analytical parameters for simultaneous drug analysis.

Thermoresponsive self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (T-SNEDDS) offer a promising solution to the limitations of conventional SNEDDS formulations. Liquid SNEDDS are expected to enhance drug solubility; however, they are susceptible to leakage during storage. Even though solid SNEDDS offers a solution to this storage instability, they introduce new challenges, namely increased total dosage and potential for drug trapping within the formulation.

This study addressed the simplest and most efficient HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) method for the estimation of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) from rat blood plasma by implementing the Hansen solubility parameters (HSP), computation prediction program, and QbD (quality by design) tool. The mobile phase selection was based on the HSP predictions and experimental data. The Taguchi model identified seven variables (preoptimization) to screen two factors (mobile phase ratio as A and column temperature as B) at three levels as input parameters in "CCD (central composite design)" optimization (retention time as and peak area as ).

Silymarin (SIL) is a poorly water-soluble flavonoid reported for different pharmacological properties. Its therapeutic applications are limited due to poor water solubility. In this study, the solubility of silymarin has been enhanced by preparing freeze-dried binary and ternary complexes using beta cyclodextrin (βCD) and d-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS).

Acyclovir (ACV) controls cutaneous herpes, genital herpes, herpes keratitis, varicella zoster, and chickenpox. From previously reported ACV formulations, we continued to explore the permeation behavior of the optimized ACV loaded optimized ethosome (ETHO2R) and elastic liposome (ELP3R) and their respective carbopol gels across artificial membrane, cultured human EpiDerm, and rat skin. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to investigate the mechanistic perspective of permeation behavior.

Chrysin (CR) is a water-insoluble drug reported for different therapeutic effects. The microwave irradiation method was used in this study to create a multicomponent inclusion complex (CR-MC) containing CR (drug) and carrier hydroxyl propyl beta cyclodextrin (HP β CD) and L-arginine (LA). The prepared inclusion complex (CR-MC) was evaluated for dissolution study and results were compared with chrysin physical mixture (CR-PM).

Article Synopsis
  • - Oxidative stress (OS) occurs when there's too much reactive oxygen species (ROS) and not enough antioxidant defenses, leading to cell damage and contributing to various diseases, particularly those related to high blood sugar levels, like diabetic retinopathy (DR).
  • - Diabetic retinopathy, a complication of diabetes, is a major cause of vision loss and is linked to OS, which interferes with important metabolic pathways and results in damaging substances like advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
  • - Understanding how OS contributes to DR is essential, as it drives harmful changes in retinal cells, leading to inflammation and cell death, which can severely affect eyesight in individuals with diabetes.

Piperine is an alkaloid, but its therapeutic efficacy is limited due to poor aqueous solubility. In this study, piperine nanoemulsions were prepared using oleic acid (oil), Cremophore EL (surfactant), and Tween 80 (co-surfactant) using the high-energy ultrasonication approach. The optimal nanoemulsion (N2) was further evaluated using transmission electron microscopy, release, permeation, antibacterial, and cell viability studies based on minimal droplet size and maximum encapsulation efficiency.

Various neurodegenerative diseases (parkinson, huntington, alzheimer, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) are becoming serious global health challenges. Despite various treatment options, successful delivery and effective outcomes have been challenged with several physiological-anatomical barriers, formulation related issues, post-administration hurdles, regulatory constraints, physical hurdles, environmental issues, and safety concern. In the present review, we addressed a brief understanding of pathological and normal condition of blood brain barrier (BBB), rational for brain delivery using nanocarriers, major challenges, advantages of nanomedicine, critical aspects of nanomedicine to translate from bed to clinics, and strategic approaches for improved delivery across BBB.
