Background: The measurement of the pharmacodynamic response allows the noninvasive quantification of cutaneous drug penetration.
Aims: The objective of this study was to investigate whether the experimental methods described in the US Food and Drug Administration Guidance for Industry "Topical Dermatologic Corticosteroids: In vivo Bioequivalence" may be transferred to other response parameters such as skin redness and surface temperature.
Methods: Drug penetration experiments with methyl nicotinate in two different lipophilic vehicles were performed according to the FDA guidance for corticosteroid bioequivalence testing measuring the cutaneous erythema and skin temperature response.
Results: The guidance methodology was transferred to the response parameters redness and temperature. Bioequivalence testing was feasible with these response parameters.
Conclusions: An open one-compartment model could only be confirmed for skin redness data by a compartmental analysis of response vs. time profiles. The obtained temperature data can neither be described by an open one-compartment nor by a two-compartment model. A correlation between skin color and skin surface temperature could not be found.

Bioequivalence studies of topical formulations have attracted increased interest as the European Medicines Agencies "Guideline on quality and equivalence on locally applied, locally acting cutaneous products" describes them in the context of the approval of generics. Since the guideline only proposes tape stripping as a destructive method for bioequivalence testing in in vitro skin penetration, the aim of this study was to investigate the suitability of confocal Raman spectroscopy (CRS) as a non-destructive alternative. To validate the CRS results, tape stripping and CRS experiments using ketoprofen as a model API were performed consecutively on the same samples of ex vivo porcine skin after frozen storage and compared.

Orodispersible film (ODF) is one of the novel formulations that disintegrate rapidly in the mouth without the requisite for water compared to other conventional oral solid dosage formulations. This delivery system serves as a convenient mode of administration, especially in patients who have dysphagia and fluid restriction, being beneficial to pediatric, geriatric, and bedridden patients. A novel sildenafil ODF containing sildenafil citrate is formulated to be used in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED).

Objectives: Software for pharmacological modeling and statistical analysis is essential for drug development and individualized treatment modeling. This study aims to develop a pharmacokinetic analysis cloud platform that leverages cloud-based benefits, offering a user-friendly interface with a smoother learning curve.
Methods: The platform was built using Rails as the framework, developed in Julia language, and employs PostgreSQL 14 database, Redis cache, and Sidekiq for asynchronous task management.
Inclusion Complex of Nimodipine with Sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin: Preparation, Characterization, In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation.

Nimodipine (NIMO) is used to treat ischemic nerve injury from subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), but its low aqueous solubility limits clinical safety and bioavailability. This study aims to improve NIMO's solubility by preparing inclusion complexes with sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD), reducing the limitations of Nimotop injection, including vascular irritation, toxicity, and poor dilution stability. The NIMO-SBE-β-CD inclusion complex (NIMO-CD) was characterized in both liquid and solid states through phase solubility studies and methods including DSC, FT-IR, XRD, and SEM.

This review article presents a detailed examination of the integral role that electrochemical detection of extracellular vesicles (EVs) plays, particularly focusing on the potential application for early disease diagnostics through EVs biomarker analysis. Through an exploration of the benefits and challenges presented by electrochemical detection vetted for protein, lipid, and nucleic acid biomarker analysis, we underscore the significance of these techniques. Evidence from recent studies renders this detection modality imperative in identifying diverse biomarkers from EVs, leading to early diagnosis of diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
