Uncontrolled distribution of nanoparticles (NPs) within the body can significantly decrease the efficiency of drug therapy and is considered among the main restrictions of NPs application. The aim of this study was to develop a depot combination delivery system (CDS) containing fingolimod loaded poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) NPs dispersed into a matrix of oleic acid-grafted-aminated alginate (OA-g-AAlg) to minimize the nonspecific biodistribution (BD) of PHBV NPs. OA-g-AAlg was synthesized in two step; First, Alg was aminated by using adipic dihydrazide (ADH).

Background: Despite years of experience and rigorous research, injectable insulin is the sole trusted treatment method to control the blood glucose level in diabetes type 1 patients, but injection of insulin is painful and poses a lot of stress to the patients, especially children, therefore, development of a non-injectable formulation of insulin is a major breakthrough in the history of medicine and pharmaceutical sciences.

Methods: In this study, a novel peptide grafted derivative of chitosan (CPP-g- chitosan) is synthesized and its potential for oral delivery of proteins and peptides is evaluated. Drug-loaded nanoparticles were developed from this derivative using ionic gelation method with application of sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) as a cross-linking agent.

Purpose: The aim of this research work was to explore the possibility of providing multifunctional oral insulin delivery system by conjugating several types of dipeptides on chitosan and trimethyl chitosan to be used as drug carriers.

Method: Conjugates of Glycyl-glycine and alanyl-alanine of chitosan and trimethyl chitosan (on primary alcohol group of polymer located on carbon 6) were synthesized and nanoparticles containing insulin were prepared for oral delivery. Preparation conditions of nanoparticles were optimized and their performance to enhance the permeability of insulin as well as cytotoxicity of nanoparticles in Caco-2 cell line was evaluated.

The principal purpose of the present study was to prepare and characterize a complex drug delivery system consisting of Nafarelin-poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) nanoparticles (NPs) in combination with sodium alginate/poloxamer 407 in situ gel. Nafarelin-loaded PHBV NPs were prepared via double emulsion solvent evaporation technique. Box-Behnken Response Surface Methodology was utilized to optimize NPs.

Article Synopsis
  • * Various characteristics of the hydrogel and nanoparticles, such as swelling, morphology, and stability of Teriparatide, were evaluated, showing that Teriparatide remained stable and was effectively incorporated into the hydrogel.
  • * The results indicated that the CDS released 63% of Teriparatide over 50 days with minimal burst release, and in vivo tests showed it successfully increased calcium levels in mice, suggesting potential for controlled delivery of other peptides and proteins.

This study was focused on the fabrication, statistical optimization and in vitro characterization of poly (hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) nanoparticles loaded with fingolimod. PHBV-based fingolimod nanoparticles were prepared by single and double evaporation methods; the incorporation efficiency of fingolimod was higher with the single emulsion evaporation method in the nanosize range particles. Fingolimod HCL was neutralized with NaOH in order to slow down the release of the highly soluble fingolimod.
