Published: April 1996

To improve the limited oral bioavailability of sulpiride, a gastric-retained form was developed and evaluated using gastric-emptying-controlled rabbits. The AUC value after oral administration of sulpiride as an aqueous solution was less than that after oral administration of sulpiride original powder. The dissolution was not important as a rate limiting factor for sulpiride oral absorption. Sulpiride was absorbed predominantly from the upper part of the small intestine of the rabbit. A gastric-retained tablet prepared from Carbopol 934P, with sustained-release characteristics, was found to be suitable for improving and extending the oral bioavailability of sulpiride.

The transdermal route is one of the effective routes for delivering drugs. It also overcomes many limitations associated with oral delivery. One of the limitations of this route is the drug's poor skin permeability-stratum corneum, the skin's outermost layer that also acts as a barrier for the drug to penetrate.

A standardized polyphenol-enriched fraction (IPHRFPPEF) was formulated into a phospholipid complex (IPHRFPPEF-PC) to enhance oral bioavailability and evaluate stability, toxicity, and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity in Sprague Dawley rats. IPHRFPPEF was prepared from crude extract using XAD-HP7/Diaion-HP20 resin column chromatography and analyzed via HPLC and NMR. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were quantified, with IPHRFPPEF showing higher values than the crude fraction.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common subtype of head and neck malignancies, characterized by a five-year survival rate that remains persistently below 50%, indicative of limited progress in therapeutic interventions. There is an urgent imperative to develop innovative therapeutic strategies, warranting the investigation of advanced treatment modalities. Nanocarriers offer a promising avenue by significantly enhancing drug properties and pharmacokinetics.

Developing orally administered pediatric formulations presents significant challenges due to the unique characteristics of pediatric patients. Terbinafine hydrochloride (TER), a powerful antifungal agent, is effective against various fungal infections, including Tinea capitis, which is common in children. However, its low aqueous solubility necessitates innovative pharmaceutical strategies to enhance its effectiveness.

Targeted drug delivery is a promising strategy for treating inflammatory diseases, with recent research focusing on the combination of neutrophils and nanomaterials. In this study, a targeted nanodrug delivery platform (Ac-PGP-tFNA, APT) was developed using tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (tFNA) along with a neutrophil hitchhiking mechanism to achieve precise delivery and anti-inflammatory effects. The tFNA structure, known for its excellent drug-loading capacity and cellular uptake efficiency, was used to carry a therapeutic agent─baicalin.
