Project description:Transdermal delivery of water-insoluble drugs via hydrogel-based microneedle (MN) arrays is crucial for improving their therapeutic efficacies. However, direct loading of water-insoluble drug into hydrophilic matrices remains challenging. Here, a biodegradable MN array patch that is fabricated from naturally derived polymer conjugates of gelatin methacryloyl and β-cyclodextrin (GelMA-β-CD) is reported. When curcumin, an unstable and water-insoluble anticancer drug, is loaded as a model drug, its stability and solubility are improved due to the formation of an inclusion complex. The polymer-drug complex GelMA-β-CD/CUR can be formulated into MN arrays with sufficient mechanical strength for skin penetration and tunable drug release profile. Anticancer efficacy of released curcumin is observed in three-dimensional B16F10 melanoma models. The GelMA-β-CD/CUR MN exhibits relatively higher therapeutic efficacy through more localized and deeper penetrated manner compared with a control nontransdermal patch. In vivo studies also verify biocompatibility and degradability of the GelMA-β-CD MN arrays patch.

Project description:The objective of the present study was to demonstrate that a novel hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin functionalized calcium carbonate (HP-β-CD/CC) based amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) can be used to increase the solubility and oral bioavailability of water-insoluble drugs. Irbesartan (IRB) was selected as a model compound and loaded into the nanoporous HP-β-CD/CC matrix using an immersion method. The IRB-loaded HP-β-CD/CC formulation was characterized by various analytical techniques, such as specific surface area analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Analyses with PXRD and DSC confirmed that IRB was fully converted into the amorphous form in the nanopores of HP-β-CD/CC. From the solubility and dissolution tests, it was observed that the aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of IRB-loaded HP-β-CD/CC were increased significantly compared with those of pure IRB and IRB-loaded mesoporous silica. Likewise, the IRB-loaded HP-β-CD/CC formulation exhibited better absorption compared with that of the commercially available IRB capsules in beagle dogs. The mean peak plasma concentration (C max) and the area under the mean plasma concentration-time curve (AUC[0→48]) of IRB-loaded HP-β-CD/CC were 1.56- and 1.52-fold higher than that of the commercial product, respectively. Furthermore, the IRB-loaded HP-β-CD/CC formulation exhibited excellent stability against re-crystallization. These results clearly demonstrate that HP-β-CD/CC based porous ASD is a promising formulation approach to improve the aqueous solubility and the in vivo absorption performance of a water-insoluble compound like IRB.

Project description:The investigation of the usability of solid insoluble β-cyclodextrin polymers (βCDP) in micro-sized, controlled drug delivery systems has only recently attracted interest. Our aim was to form complexes with poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with two types of βCDP for drug delivery applications. Solid insoluble cyclodextrin polymer of irregular shape (βCDPIS) and cyclodextrin microbeads (βCDPB) were used in the experiments. Morphology, surface area, size distribution and swelling capacity of carriers were investigated. We created complexes with two APIs, curcumin and estradiol, and applied powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR and thermal analysis (TGA/DSC) to prove the complexation. Finally, the dissolution, biocompatibility and permeation of APIs on Caco-2 cells were investigated. The size of the beads was larger than 100 µm, their shape was spherical and surfaces were smooth; while the βCDPIS particles were around 4 µm with irregular shape and surface. None of the polymers showed any cytotoxic effect on Caco-2 cells. Both carriers were able to extract curcumin and estradiol from aqueous solutions, and the dissolution test showed prolonged estradiol release. Caco-2 permeability tests were in accordance with the complexation abilities and dissolution of the complexes. This study offers useful data for further pharmaceutical applications of insoluble cyclodextrin polymers.

Project description:Fresh potable water is an indispensable drink which humans consume daily in substantial amounts. Nonetheless, very little is known about the composition of the microbial community inhabiting drinking water or its impact on our gut microbiota. In the current study, an exhaustive shotgun metagenomics analysis of the tap water microbiome highlighted the occurrence of a highly genetic biodiversity of the microbial communities residing in fresh water and the existence of a conserved core tap water microbiota largely represented by novel microbial species, representing microbial dark matter. Furthermore, genome reconstruction of this microbial dark matter from water samples unveiled homologous sequences present in the faecal microbiome of humans from various geographical locations. Accordingly, investigation of the faecal microbiota content of a subject that daily consumed tap water for 3 years provides proof for horizontal transmission and colonization of water bacteria in the human gut.

Project description:We previously developed a unique four-fluid nozzle spray drier that can produce water-soluble microspheres containing water-insoluble drug nanoparticles in one step without any common solvent between the water-insoluble drug and water-soluble carrier. In the present study, we focused on maltosyl-?-cyclodextrin (malt-?-CD) as a new water-soluble carrier and it was investigated whether drug/malt-?-CD microspheres could improve the bioavailability compared with our previously reported drug/mannitol (MAN) microspheres. The physicochemical properties of bare drug microparticles (ONO-2921, a model water-insoluble drug), drug/MAN microspheres, and drug/malt-?-CD microspheres were evaluated. In vitro aerosol performance, in vitro dissolution rate, and the blood concentration profiles after intratracheal administration were compared between these formulations. The mean diameter of both drug/MAN and drug/malt-?-CD microspheres was approximately 3-5 ?m and both exhibited high aerosol performance (>20% in stages 2-7), but drug/malt-?-CD microspheres had superior release properties. Drug/malt-?-CD microspheres dissolved in an aqueous phase within 2 min, while drug/MAN microspheres failed to dissolve in 30 min. Inhalation of drug/malt-?-CD microspheres enhanced the area under the curve of the blood concentration curve by 15.9-fold than that of bare drug microparticles and by 6.1-fold than that of drug/MAN microspheres. Absolute bioavailability (pulmonary/intravenous route) of drug/malt-?-CD microspheres was also much higher (42%) than that of drug/MAN microspheres (6.9%). These results indicate that drug/malt-?-CD microspheres prepared by our four-fluid nozzle spray drier can improve drug solubility and pulmonary delivery.

Project description:Background. The research results of fat-soluble vitamin D 3 (cholecalciferol) encapsulation with ?-cyclodextrin have been presented in this work. The vitamin D 3 inclusion complex with ?-cyclodextrin was obtained under microwave radiation. The surface morphology of obtained clathrate inclusion complexes was described with the help of a scanning electron microscope. The thermographic measurement results on a differential scanning calorimeter have been presented. The activation energy of the ?-cyclodextrin?:?vitamin D 3 clathrate complex thermal oxidative destruction reaction was calculated. The clathrate thermal destruction kinetic parameters were determined. The inclusion complex spectral properties were characterized by IR-Fourier and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The existence of ?-cyclodextrin inclusion complex with vitamin D 3 in a 2?:?1 ratio was confirmed by the experimental results. The activation energy of thermal destruction of the inclusion complex of ?-cyclodextrin with vitamin D 3 was calculated using four different methods.

Project description:AbstractThe synthesis of a novel supramolecular system comprising of branched polyethylenimine and cyclodextrin, is presented. The synthesis route is based on the self-assembly phenomena with the inclusion of solvent molecules. The systems are formed by a hydrogen-bonding network and host-guest type interactions between the building blocks. It was found that the native cyclodextrin and polyethylenimine are able to form stable systems when the reaction medium constitutes a polar solvent forming host-guest type complexes with cyclodextrin. A special consideration was paid on the detailed spectroscopic analyses of the obtained water-soluble constructs, including ROESY and diffusion-ordered (DOSY) NMR spectroscopy studies. The versatility and significance of DOSY technique for the analysis of the cyclodextrin complexes and its non-covalent systems with branched polymers, were presented. It was also found that the guest molecules that were incorporated in the complexes exhibited enhanced thermal stability. The morphological details in the solid state were obtained by scanning electron microscope.Graphical abstract

Project description:Captopril is the first angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitor widely used for the treatment of hypertension. Based on the well-known benefits of cyclodextrin inclusion complexes, the present study investigated the ability of ?-cyclodextrin to include captopril. Solid inclusion complexes of captopril with ?-cyclodextrin in a 1:2 molar ratio were prepared by using the paste method of complexation. For comparison purposes, a simple physical mixture with the same molar ratio was also prepared. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and simultaneous thermal analysis were used to characterize the raw materials, physical mixture and solid inclusion complex. In order to provide the drug in a more accessible and patient-compliant form following masking its bitter taste, as well as ensuring the appropriate release kinetics, the investigated complex was formulated as orally disintegrating tablets. The study of captopril dissolution in both compendial and simulated saliva media suggested the Noyes Whitney model as the best mathematical model to describe the release phenomena. A clinical study on healthy volunteers also highlighted the taste improvement of the new formulation as compared to conventional tablets.

Project description:Designing useful functionalities in clinically validated, old antibiotics holds promise to provide the most economical solution for the global lack of effective antibiotics, as undoubtedly a serious health threat. Here we show that using the surface chemistry of the cyclodextrin (βCD) cycle and arginine (arg) as a linker, provides more stable ternary antibiotic complex (βCD-arg-cpx). In contrast to classical less stable inclusion complexes, which only modify antibiotic solubility, here-presented ternary complex is more stable and controls drug release. The components of the complex intensify interactions with bacterial membranes and increase the drug's availability inside bacterial cells, thereby improving its antimicrobial efficacy and safety profile. Multifunctional antibiotics, formulated as drug delivery systems per se, that take the drug to the site of action, maximize its efficacy, and provide optical detectability are envisaged as the future in fighting against infections. Their role as a tool against multiresistant strains remains as interesting challenge open for further research.

Project description:Cyclodextrin (CD) complexes are frequently used for enhancing the solubility or absorption of poorly water-soluble drugs. On the contrary, little is known about their complex formation with water-soluble drugs. Here, we have studied the interaction between 2-hydroxypropyl β-CD (HPβCD) and three water-soluble drugs, namely naloxone (NX), oxycodone (OC), and tramadol (TR), by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) combined with molecular modeling in view of the potential impact on drug release. The results showed that the complex formation of HPβCD with all three drugs occurs spontaneously. The complexes formed with NX and OC were found to be 2NX:1HPβCD and 3OC:2HPβCD, respectively. TR was found to form 2 complexes with HPβCD; of 1:2 and 1:1 complexation ratios. The binding of HPβCD to NX was greater than to OC due to the higher hydrophobicity of the structure of the former. Moreover, the binding affinity of HPβCD to TR was higher than to OC, which indicated the effect of the higher flexibility of the guest in increasing the binding affinity. In vitro drug release experiments from the various complexes revealed a significant impact of the stoichiometry of the complex on the release profiles. Accordingly, the co-administration of cyclodextrins with water-soluble drugs should be closely monitored, as it may result in unintentional complex formation that can potentially impact the drugs' gastrointestinal absorption.
