Purpose: Tylvalosin Tartrate (TAT), a new-generation macrolide antibiotic, undergoes significant degradation in the stomach and in vivo rapid elimination upon oral administration, resulting in poor bioavailability. This study developed TAT enteric amorphous pellets by liquid layering (TAT/EAP-LL) with pH-sensitive and burst release characteristics, to enhance drug stability in the stomach and concentration enrichment in the duodenum.
Methods: The drug loading layer, isolation layer and enteric layer were formed on the surface of the blank core pellets. Investigation into the characteristics of TAT/EAP-LL revealed that stable amorphous solid dispersions in the drug loading layer were formed by liquid layering. Then, DSC analysis confirmed that triethyl citrate significantly improved the film-forming properties of Methacrylic-ethyl acrylate copolymer. Additionally, TAT/EAP-LL was confirmed to exist in the amorphous state by DSC、PXRD and PLM.
Results: In vitro, TAT/EAP-LL demonstrated a similar 4.07% release within 2 h at pH 1.0 as TAT enteric pellets (TAT/EP-LL) and a much faster burst release at pH 6.8, with complete release within 15 min. In vivo, the oral bioavailability of TAT/EAP-LL was improved to 1.71 times compared to commercial formulations and 1.47 times compared to TAT/EP-LL.
Conclusion: This study offers a novel platform for the enhanced oral delivery of TAT and proposes effective formulation strategies for pulsatile drug delivery.

Background And Purpose: Liquid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) face challenges related to stability, handling, and storage. In particular, lipophilic and unstable drugs, such as ramipril (RMP) and thymoquinone (THQ), face challenges in oral administration due to poor aqueous solubility and chemical instability. This study aimed to develop and optimize multi-layer self-nanoemulsifying pellets (ML-SNEP) to enhance the stability and dissolution of ramipril (RMP) and thymoquinone (THQ).

In this work, a theoretical approach is developed to investigate the structural properties of ionic microgels induced by a circularly polarized (CP) electric field. Following a similar study on chain formation in the presence of linearly polarized fields [T. Colla , , 2018, , 4321-4337], we propose an effective potential between microgels which incorporates the field-induced interactions a static, time averaged polarizing charge at the particle surface.

P2-type NaMnNiO as the cathode for sodium-ion batteries, has a relatively high theoretical specific capacity, but its unstable crystal structure and undesirable phase transitions lead to rapid capacity decay. In this work, Mg-B-O coated NaMnNiO microspheres have been synthesized via a liquid-phase method based on solvothermal synthesized NaMnNiO. The Mg-B-O coating layer significantly improves the electrochemical performance, including specific capacity, rate capability, and cycle stability.

Control of the formation of liquid crystalline 3̄ gyroid phases and their nanostructures is critical to advance materials chemistry based on the structural feature of three-dimensional helical networks. Here, we present that introducing methyl side-group(s) and slight non-symmetry into aryloyl-hydrazine-based molecules is unexpectedly crucial for their formation and can be a new design strategy through tuning intermolecular interactions: the two chemical modifications in the core portion of the chain-core-chain type molecules effectively lower and extend the 3̄ phase temperature ranges with the increased twist angle between neighboring molecules along the network. The detailed analyses of the aggregation structure revealed the change in the core assembly mode from the double-layered core mode of the mother molecule (without methyl groups) to the single-layered core mode.

In the field of chiral smectic liquid crystals, orthoconic antiferroelectric liquid crystals (OAFLCs) have attracted the interest of the scientific community due to the very high tilt angle, close to 45°, and the consequent optical properties. In the present study, the first H NMR investigation is reported on two samples, namely 3F5HPhF9 and 3F7HPhF8, showing the phase sequence isotropic-SmC*-SmC* and the phase sequence isotropic-SmA-SmC*-SmC*, respectively, when cooling from the isotropic to the crystalline phases. To this aim, the liquid crystals were doped with a small amount of deuterated probe biphenyl-4,4'-diol-d.
