The properties of spray dried PLA microparticles were affected by the choice of solvents, amount of ciclosporin and TPGS added. Ethyl acetate formed microparticle with smooth surface when compared to those produced by dichloromethane. The results of FTIR have not shown chemical interaction amongst PLA, ciclosporin and TPGS while thermal analysis showed physical interactions amongst these components. TPGS was found to lower Tg value of PLA by exerting a plasticizing effect while ciclosporin reverted this effect. When the content of TPGS increased from 2% (w/w) to 10% (w/w), the microparticles tended to agglomerate due to the lowering of the polymer Tg values at the employed spray drying temperature. In addition, a lesser amount of ciclosporin was found at the surface of the microparticle and resulted in smaller initial release of ciclosporin. When 2% (w/w) TPGS was used, the initial release of ciclosporin was enhanced and the microparticles formed were not agglomerated.

Piperine has been reported to inhibit the enzyme activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for piperine and to predict potential food-drug interactions (FDIs) between piperine and CYP3A4 substrate drugs using these models. The PBPK model for piperine was successfully developed and validated.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving the skin delivery of Cyclosporine A (CsA), a high molecular weight peptide used for psoriasis treatment, by using ionic liquids mixed with a Pluronic F127 matrix.
- Researchers created an organogel formulation using choline and geranic acid (CAGE) combined with Pluronic F127 and PEG 400, which significantly enhanced CsA's skin permeability.
- The CsA-CAGE-P gel showed a remarkable increase in drug flux and effectiveness in reducing psoriasis symptoms in an animal model compared to traditional methods, proving it to be a promising topical treatment option.

Psoriasis is a prevalent chronic disease affecting 2-3% of the global population. Cyclosporine A (CyA) has been widely used with great promise in the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis despite various side effects associated with its systemic administration. Topical administration of CyA circumvents systemic side effects; however, the poor water solubility and large molecular weight of CyA pose challenges for dermal delivery.

As a widely used eukaryotic model organism, Neurospora crassa offers advantages in genetic studies due to its diverse biology and rapid growth. Traditional genetic manipulation methods, such as homologous recombination, require a considerable amount of time and effort. In this study, we present an easy-to-use CRIPSR/Cas9 system for N.
