Solid-state characterization of triamcinolone acetonide nanosuspensiones by X-ray spectroscopy, ATR Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry analysis.

ABSTRACT: The data presented in this article describe the physical state of the triamcinolone acetonide (TA) in nanosuspension stabilized with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and poloxamer 407 (PL). The data were assessed by X-ray spectroscopy, ATR Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy measurements (FTIR), and Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. PVA, PL and polymeric mixture (PVA and PL) were compared with nanosuspension and the interactions between drug triamcinolone acetonide and polymers were studied. The data are related and are complementary to the research article entitle "Improved release of triamcinolone acetonide from medicated soft contact lenses loaded with drug nanosuspensions" (García-Millán et al., 2017) [1].

Project description:Meningiomas are the commonest types of tumours in the central nervous system (CNS). It is a benign type of tumour divided into three WHO grades (I, II and III) associated with tumour growth rate and likelihood of recurrence, where surgical outcomes and patient treatments are dependent on the meningioma grade and histological subtype. The development of alternative approaches based on attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy could aid meningioma grade determination and its biospectrochemical profiling in an automated fashion. Herein, ATR-FTIR in combination with chemometric techniques is employed to distinguish grade I, grade II and grade I meningiomas that re-occurred. Ninety-nine patients were investigated in this study where their formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) brain tissue samples were analysed by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Subsequent classification was performed via principal component analysis plus linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA) and partial least squares plus discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). PLS-DA gave the best results where grade I and grade II meningiomas were discriminated with 79% accuracy, 80% sensitivity and 73% specificity, while grade I versus grade I recurrence and grade II versus grade I recurrence were discriminated with 94% accuracy (94% sensitivity and specificity) and 97% accuracy (97% sensitivity and 100% specificity), respectively. Several wavenumbers were identified as possible biomarkers towards tumour differentiation. The majority of these were associated with lipids, protein, DNA/RNA and carbohydrate alterations. These findings demonstrate the potential of ATR-FTIR spectroscopy towards meningioma grade discrimination as a fast, low-cost, non-destructive and sensitive tool for clinical settings. Graphical abstract Attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy was used to discriminate meningioma WHO grade I, grade II and grade I recurrence tumours.

Project description:Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, a technology traditionally used in chemistry to determine the molecular composition of a wide range of sample types, has gained growing interest in microbial typing. It is based on the different vibrational modes of the covalent bonds between atoms of a given sample, as bacterial cells, induced by the absorption of infrared radiation. This technique has been largely used for the study of pathogenic species, especially in the clinical field, and has been proposed also for the typing at different subspecies levels. The high throughput, speed, low cost, and simplicity make FTIR spectroscopy an attractive technique also for industrial applications, in particular, for probiotics. The aim of this study was to compare FTIR spectroscopy with established genotyping methods, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), whole-genome sequencing (WGS), and multilocus sequence typing (MLST), in order to highlight the FTIR spectroscopy potential discriminatory power at strain level. Our study focused on bifidobacteria, an important group of intestinal commensals generally recognized as probiotics. For their properties in promoting and maintaining health, bifidobacteria are largely marketed by the pharmaceutical, food, and dairy industries. Strains belonging to Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis were taken into consideration together with some additional type strains. For B. longum subsp. longum, it was possible to discriminate the strains with all the methods used. Although two isolates were shown to be strictly phylogenetically related, constituting a unique cluster, based on PFGE, WGS, and MLST, no clustering was observed with FTIR. For B. animalis subsp. lactis group, PFGE, WGS, and MLST were non-discriminatory, and only one strain was easily distinguished. On the other hand, FTIR discriminated all the isolates one by one, and no clustering was observed. According to these results, FTIR analysis is not only equivalent to PFGE, WGS, and MLST, but also for some strains, in particular, for B. animalis subsp. lactis group, more informative, being able to differentiate strains not discernible with the other two methods based on phenotypic variations likely deriving from certain genetic changes. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has highlighted the possibility of using the cell surface as a kind of barcode making tracing strains possible, representing an important aspect in probiotic applications. Furthermore, this work constitutes the first investigation on bifidobacterial strain typing using FTIR spectroscopy.

Project description:BackgroundIntra-articular corticosteroids are commonly used for pain relief in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Simultaneous intra-articular corticosteroid (CS) knee injections may be beneficial for the ~80-90% of patients who present with, or develop, bilateral knee osteoarthritis, but concurrent injections may increase systemic CS exposure and data on safety/tolerability are lacking. Triamcinolone acetonide extended release (TA-ER) has shown decreased systemic triamcinolone acetonide exposure compared with traditional triamcinolone acetonide crystalline suspension (TAcs) after a single knee injection in patients with knee osteoarthritis. This phase IIa study was designed to assess the safety and systemic triamcinolone acetonide exposure following injections of TA-ER or TAcs into each knee of patients with bilateral knee osteoarthritis.MethodsPatients (⩾40 years) meeting American College of Rheumatology criteria for knee osteoarthritis in both knees received concurrent single intra-articular injections of TA-ER 32 mg or TAcs 40 mg into each knee (total: 64 mg and 80 mg, respectively) and were followed for 6 weeks. Safety was evaluated based on treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis were collected pre-injection, and at the following postinjection time points: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 h, and days 8, 15, 29, and 43.ResultsBaseline characteristics were balanced between patients randomly assigned to TA-ER (n = 12) or TAcs (n = 12). Both treatments were well tolerated with comparable TEAE profiles. Peak plasma triamcinolone acetonide concentrations (Cmax) were lower following bilateral TA-ER injections [geometric mean, 2277.7 pg/ml (95% CI, 1602.13-3238.04)] compared with bilateral TAcs injections [7394.7 pg/ml (2201.06-24,843.43)], with median times to Cmax (Tmax) of 4.5 and 6.5 h, respectively.ConclusionsIn patients with bilateral knee osteoarthritis, intra-articular injection of TA-ER into both knees was well tolerated. Consistent with pharmacokinetic profiles observed after a single knee injection, plasma triamcinolone acetonide concentrations were lower after bilateral TA-ER injections compared with the higher and more variable concentrations observed after bilateral TAcs injections.Clinicaltrialsgov identifierNCT03378076.
