Research paper thumbnail of Advancements in Microemulsion Based Drug Delivery Systems for Better Therapeutic Effects

International Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Developmental Research, 2015

Recent progress in combinatorial drug has led to the generation of a large number of new compound... more Recent progress in combinatorial drug has led to the generation of a large number of new compounds. microemulsions are versatile systems of great technological and scientific interest to the researchers because of their potential to incorporate a wide range of drug molecules (hydrophilic and hydrophobic) due to the presence of both lipophilic and hydrophilic domains. A micro emulsion is a transparent, thermodynamically stable mixture of two immiscible liquid stabilized by surfactant (or mixture of surfactant). Microemulsions have many advantages for instance, more drug solubility, thermodynamic stability, manufacturing and permeation is easy over conventional formulations that convert them to important drug delivery systems. The design and development of microemulsions aimed at controlling or improving required bioavailability levels of therapeutic agents. Through this review an attempt has been made to focus on several recent developments occurred in the field of microemulsions based applications and which confirms its role as a suitable cargoes for delivery of drugs. In that note, the relevance of this paper and the truncated basic aspects and application on microemulsions are discussed. permeation. Interest in these versatile carriers is increasing and their applications have been diversified to various administration routes in addition to the conventional oral route. This can be attributed to their unique solubilization properties and thermodynamic stability which has drawn attention for their use as novel vehicles for drug delivery [5-7]. Microemulsions have advantages over both colloidal systems under investigation and conventional emulsions, suspensions and micellar solutions and may provide alternative drug carriers [8]. They are promising delivery systems which allow sustained or controlled drug release for percutaneous, peroral, topical, transdermal, ocular and parenteral administration of medicaments. They offer the advantage of spontaneous formation, ease of manufacturing and scale-up, thermodynamic stability, improved drug solubilization of hydrophobic drugs and bioavailability. Also, microemulsions that have inverse micellar structure may be less comedogenic than either creams or solutions [9,10]. Microemulsions are quaternary systems composed of an oil phase, a water system, surfactants and a cosurfactant [11]. These spontaneously formed systems possess specific physicochemical properties such as transparency, optical isotropic, low viscosity and thermodynamic stability. The observed transparency of these systems is due to the fact that the maximum size of the droplets of the dispersed phase is not larger than one-fourth of the wavelength of visible light approximately 150 nm. Droplet diameter in stable microemulsions is usually within the range of 10-100 nm (100-1000 °A), which means that the term 'micro emulsion' is misleading and these systems are actually Nano-sized emulsions. Many studies have shown that micro emulsion formulations possessed improved transdermal and dermal delivery properties, mostly in vitro [12-21] and several in vivo [22-24].

Oral drug administration has been the predominant route for drug delivery. During the past two decades, numerous oral delivery systems have been developed to act as drug reservoirs from which the active substance can be released over a defined period of time at a predetermined and controlled rate. From a pharmacokinetic point of view, the ideal sustained and controlled release dosage form should be comparable with an intravenous infusion, which supplies continuously the amount of drug needed to maintain constant plasma levels once the steady state is reached. Although some important applications, including oral administration of peptide and protein drugs, can be used to prepare colonic drug delivery systems, targeting drugs to the colon by the oral route. This review article clearly explains the advantages, limitations and need of gastro-retentive drug delivery system. It also covers the various criteria for drugs suitable and not suitable for such delivery. Also, the different types of gastro retentive delivery systems are described with suitable examples.

Surface of liposomes was engineered by incorporation of charges (positive or negative) and site-specific ligand (mannose) in order to enhance localization to lymphatics, specifically to lymph node and spleen. Positively and negatively charged nanosized SE liposomes (120 +/- 10 nm) were prepared using stearylamine (SA) and dicetyl phosphate (DCP), respectively, while ligand-coated SE liposomes were prepared using mannose-terminated SA (mannose conjugate). The SE liposomes were characterized for shape and surface morphology, size, entrapment efficiency, and in vitro drug release. All the SE liposomes formulations showed biphasic ZDV release, whereas mannose-coated liposomes (MAN-Lip) significantly reduced (p < 0.05) drug release compared with conventional liposome (Lip). The organ distribution pattern of the SE liposomes exhibited significant reduction in free ZDV concentration in serum, whereas significantly increased quantity was detected in the spleen and lymph nodes (p < 0.05). Fluorescent microscopy suggested enhanced uptake and localization of the SE liposomes in the lymph nodes and spleen, which were in the order: mannose coated > negatively charged > positively charged > Lip. Thus, the SE liposomes appeared to be promising novel vesicular system for enhanced targeting of ZDV to lymphatics, in AIDS chemotherapy.
