Multiparticulate Systems of Meloxicam for Colonic Administration in Cancer or Autoimmune Diseases

ABSTRACT: The aim of this research is the development of new colonic release systems of meloxicam (MLX) a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) with pH and time-dependent vehicles for cancer or autoimmune diseases. The colon has a higher pH than the rest of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and this can be used as a modified release strategy. Eudragit® polymers are the most widely used synthetic products in the design of colonic release formulations because they might offer mucoadhesiveness and pH-dependent release. Colonic delivery systems produced with pH-dependent and permeable polymers (FS-30D) or with pH-independent and low permeability polymers (NM-30D), must dissolve at a pH range of 6.0–7.0 to delay the release of the drug and prevent degradation in the GIT, before reaching the colon. The conditions prepared to simulate a gastrointestinal transit showed the CNM multiparticulate system, composed of Eudragit® NM and cellulose, as the best release option for MLX with a more sustained release with respect to the other formulations. CNM formulation followed Higuchi and First-order release kinetics, thus MLX release was controlled by a combination of diffusion and polymers swelling/eroding processes.

Pharmacokinetic studies of meloxicam following oral and transdermal administration in Beagle dogs.

Project description:The potential for topical delivery of meloxicam was investigated by examining its pharmacokinetic profiles in plasma and synovial fluid following oral and transdermal administration in Beagle dogs.The experiment was a two-period, crossover design using 6 Beagle dogs. Meloxicam tablets were administered orally at a dose of 0.31 mg/kg, and meloxicam gel was administered transdermally at a dose of 1.25 mg/kg. Drug concentrations in plasma and synovial fluid were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using the Topfit 2.0 program.The pharmacokinetic results showed that AUC(0-t) (23.9+/-8.26 microg.h.mL(-1)) in plasma after oral administration was significantly higher than after transdermal delivery (1.00+/-0.43 microg.h.mL(-1)). In contrast, the ratio of the average concentration in synovial fluid to that in plasma following transdermal administration was higher than that for an oral delivery. The synovial fluid concentration in the treated leg was much higher than that in the untreated leg, whereas the synovial fluid concentration in the untreated leg was similar to the plasma concentration.The high concentration ratio of synovial fluid to plasma indicates direct penetration of meloxicam following topical administration to the target tissue. This finding is further supported by the differences observed in meloxicam concentrations in synovial fluid in the treated and untreated joints at the same time point. Our results suggest that transdermal delivery of meloxicam is a promising method for decreasing its adverse systemic effects.Acta Pharmacologica Sinica (2009) 30: 1060-1064; doi: 10.1038/aps.2009.73; published online 8 June 2009.

Repeated administration of the NSAID meloxicam alters the plasma and urine lipidome.

Project description:Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), such as meloxicam, are the mainstay for treating painful and inflammatory conditions in animals and humans; however, the repeated administration of NSAIDs can cause adverse effects, limiting the long-term administration of these drugs to some patients. The primary aim of this study was to determine the effects of repeated meloxicam administration on the feline plasma and urine lipidome. Cats (n?=?12) were treated subcutaneously with either saline solution or 0.3?mg/kg body weight of meloxicam daily for up to 31 days. Plasma and urine lipidome were determined by LC-MS before the first treatment and at 4, 9 and 13 and 17 days after the first administration of meloxicam. The repeated administration of meloxicam altered the feline plasma and urine lipidome as demonstrated by multivariate statistical analysis. The intensities of 94 out of 195 plasma lipids were altered by the repeated administration of meloxicam to cats (p?<?0.05). Furthermore, we identified 12 lipids in plasma and 10 lipids in urine that could serve as biomarker candidates for discriminating animals receiving NSAIDs from healthy controls. Expanding our understanding about the effects of NSAIDs in the body could lead to the discovery of mechanism(s) associated with intolerance to NSAIDs.

Unravelling the Shared Genetic Mechanisms Underlying 18 Autoimmune Diseases Using a Systems Approach.

Project description:Autoimmune diseases (AiDs) are complex heterogeneous diseases characterized by hyperactive immune responses against self. Genome-wide association studies have identified thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with several AiDs. While these studies have identified a handful of pleiotropic loci that confer risk to multiple AiDs, they lack the power to detect shared genetic factors residing outside of these loci. Here, we integrated chromatin contact, expression quantitative trait loci and protein-protein interaction (PPI) data to identify genes that are regulated by both pleiotropic and non-pleiotropic SNPs. The PPI analysis revealed complex interactions between the shared and disease-specific genes. Furthermore, pathway enrichment analysis demonstrated that the shared genes co-occur with disease-specific genes within the same biological pathways. In conclusion, our results are consistent with the hypothesis that genetic risk loci associated with multiple AiDs converge on a core set of biological processes that potentially contribute to the emergence of polyautoimmunity.

Pharmacokinetics of meloxicam after oral administration of a granule formulation to healthy horses.

Project description:BackgroundNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are administered in horses for several systemic diseases. Selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors are preferred because of lower risk of adverse effects. Several meloxicam formulations have been tested in horses, but a recently marketed granule oral formulation has not been studied.ObjectiveTo characterize the pharmacokinetics of a novel granule meloxicam formulation in fasted and fed horses, and to compare pharmacokinetic features with oral suspension and tablets.AnimalsSeven healthy adult horses.MethodsMeloxicam was administered at 0.6 mg/kg in fasted or fed horses. Blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetic analysis, and vital signs, hematology, and biochemistry variables were monitored for 72 hours.ResultsNo adverse effects were detected. Volume of distribution and clearance after intravenous administration of meloxicam were 0.36 L/kg and 29.12 mL/h/kg, respectively, with a 12.39 hours of terminal half-life. Protein binding was of 97%. Bioavailability was high for every oral formulation, ranging 70%-110%, without feed effect. Because of a slower absorption, meloxicam after administration of granules had a longer half-life (24 and 34 hours, fasted and fed, respectively) and mean residence time (31 and 47 hours), than suspension and tablets (ranging 10-13 and 13-15 hours, respectively). In addition, the time above therapeutic concentration was higher for the granule formulation than other formulations.Conclusions and clinical importanceGranule formulation has different PK parameters compared to other oral formulations, which could enable this formulation to be used for different dosage regimens in order to reach a desired clinical effect or decrease the risk of adverse effects.

Impact of Surface Properties of Core Material on the Stability of Hot Melt-Coated Multiparticulate Systems.

Project description:Hot melt coating (HMC) of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) powder with lipid-based excipients is an innovative method for manufacturing patient-convenient dosage forms. However, drug release instability is still its main industrial challenge. The correlation between the unstable pharmaceutical product performance with the solid-state alteration of lipids is currently well-investigated. The remaining problem is the inconsistent release alteration of different APIs coated with the same lipid after storage, such as faster release in some cases and slower release in others. The interaction between API surface and lipid-based coating and its alteration during storage were investigated in this work. The surface properties of five different APIs and the coating composition of tripalmitin and polysorbate 65 were screened via Washburn and pendant drop methods, respectively. Metformin hydrochloride and hydrochlorothiazide particles were each coated with the coating composition. The water sorption alteration of coated particles and the crystal growth of tripalmitin in the coating after storage were measured via tensiometry and X-ray diffraction. The cleavage work necessary to overcome the adhesion of coating composition on the core surface was calculated for each API. The accelerated release of the polar core (metformin) after storage was correlated with a low cleavage work and a distinctive phase separation. In contrast, a decelerated release of the hydrophobic core (hydrochlorothiazide) was favored by the crystal growth of the lipid-based coating. The gained knowledge can be used to design the product stability during the formulation development.

A Novel Oral Syringe for Dosing and Administration of Multiparticulate Formulations: Acceptability Study in Preschool and School Children.

Project description:The popularity of multiparticulate formulations (MPs) as a paediatric dosage form continues to increase. MPs comprise of multiple small units that are easy-to-swallow. Currently, MPs are commonly manufactured into unit doses that are either swallowed whole or opened prior to administration. While this is an acceptable approach, dosing is envisioned to be optimised with a "standard" paediatric device which can better harness the flexible dosing potential of MPs. We evaluated a novel oral syringe (SympfinyTM, HS Design, Morristown, NJ, USA) that is being developed as a tool to dispense and administer MPs to children. Forty children, 4-12 years old, received 0.5, 1.2, and 2.0 mL doses of placebo MPs using the oral syringe with spring water or a drink of choice to complete sample intake. Acceptability was recorded as those able to completely swallow the dose and participants also rated dose acceptability on a 5-point scale. The ability to completely swallow the dose decreased as dose volume increased; the smallest dose was completely swallowed by 87.5% (35/40) children, and 69.4% (27/39) of children confirmed their willingness to take the sample as a daily medicine. Larger doses, 1.2 and 2.0 mL, gave values of 55% and 57.5% for the doses completely swallowed and 58.8% and 51.72% for willingness to take the sample as a daily medicine, respectively. Use of a drink of choice showed no increase in swallowability as compared with water. The novel oral syringe being developed is an appropriate device for dispensing doses flexibly and administering neutral tasting MPs directly to the mouth in the lower dose range without the need for a co-administration vehicle in children aged 4-12 years.

Understanding the Multifaceted Role of Neutrophils in Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases.

Project description:Neutrophils are one of the first immune cell types that are recruited to injury and infection site. As a vital component of the immune system, neutrophils are heterogeneous immune cells known to have phagocytic property and function in inflammation. Recent studies revealed that neutrophils play dual roles in tumor initiation, development, and progression. The multifunctional roles of neutrophils in diseases are mainly due to their production of different effector molecules under different conditions. N1 and N2 neutrophils or high density neutrophils (HDNs) and low density neutrophils (LDNs) have been used to distinguish neutrophils subpopulations with pro- vs. anti-tumor activity, respectively. Indeed, N1 and N2 neutrophils also represent immunostimulating and immunosuppressive subsets, respectively, in cancer. The emerging studies support their multifaceted roles in autoimmune diseases. Although such subsets are rarely identified in autoimmune diseases, some unique subsets of neutrophils, including low density granulocytes (LDGs) and CD177+ neutrophils, have been reported. Given the heterogeneity and functional plasticity of neutrophils, it is necessary to understand the phenotypical and functional features of neutrophils in disease status. In this article, we review the multifaceted activates of neutrophils in cancer and autoimmune diseases, which may support new classification of neutrophils to help understand their important functions in immune homeostasis and pathologies.

Eosinophils in Autoimmune Diseases.

Project description:Eosinophils are multifunctional granulocytes that contribute to initiation and modulation of inflammation. Their role in asthma and parasitic infections has long been recognized. Growing evidence now reveals a role for eosinophils in autoimmune diseases. In this review, we summarize the function of eosinophils in inflammatory bowel diseases, neuromyelitis optica, bullous pemphigoid, autoimmune myocarditis, primary biliary cirrhosis, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and other autoimmune diseases. Clinical studies, eosinophil-targeted therapies, and experimental models have contributed to our understanding of the regulation and function of eosinophils in these diseases. By examining the role of eosinophils in autoimmune diseases of different organs, we can identify common pathogenic mechanisms. These include degranulation of cytotoxic granule proteins, induction of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, release of proteases degrading extracellular matrix, immune modulation through cytokines, antigen presentation, and prothrombotic functions. The association of eosinophilic diseases with autoimmune diseases is also examined, showing a possible increase in autoimmune diseases in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis, hypereosinophilic syndrome, and non-allergic asthma. Finally, we summarize key future research needs.
