Encapsulation of a drug in liposomes prevents its early degradation and alters the biodistribution profile in the body. This enables higher concentrations of the drug in the desired tumor site, leading to improved effectiveness, and reduced tox- icity in the vital organs like heart, kidney etc. Conventional liposomes are eliminated rapidly from the biological fluids (e.g., blood), and therefore lack the stability to establish long circulation times required to realize the full efficacy of the drug. These conventional liposomes are detected by the body first line defense mechanism and phagocytes the liposomes which in turn leads to decrease the liposome concentration and effectiveness of drug. This problem leads in development of long circulatory liposomes which is far better than conventional ...

The liposomes were prepared by the NH4EDTA gradient method, where EDTA is used as a cardioprotectant. Ascorbyl-6-palmitate was also used which helped for the synergistic effect of 5-Fluorouracil to counteract the cancer cells and provide promising application in the treatment of breast cancer cells. Taguchi design was used for screening of formulation and HSPC phospholipid was selected. The drug-excipient compatibility was checked through FTIR which showed all the excipients were compatible with the drug. The formulation was optimized by using 32 factorial design. The drug to lipid ratio (1:5) and Ascorbyl-6-Palmitate concentration (15 mg) were selected. The vesicle size of the prepared liposomes was found to be 70.12 ± 0.58 nm and uniform distribution was observed. The zeta potential and entrapment efficiency of the stealth liposomes were found -16.28 mV and 92 ± 0.007% respectively. In-vitro drug release study of formulation showed drug release of 63.50 ± 0.94% in 24 hrs.

The Box–Behnken design was used to optimize the formulation, evaluate the particle size, entrapment efficiency, morphology, in vitro drug release study, and stability profiles. The in vitro performance was executed using cell line studies. The in vivo performance was carried out for pharmacokinetic studies, sterility test, biodistribution studies, and distribution lipid–drug conjugated (LDC) nanoparticles in the brain. Particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, and morphology of the optimized formulation demonstrated desirable results. In vitro release pattern showed initial fast release, followed by sustained release up to 48 h. Cytotoxic effects of blank stearic acid nanoparticles, LDC nanoparticles, and 5-FU solution on human glioma cell lines U373 MG cell showed more cytotoxicity by LDC-NPs compared to others. The values reported for LDC (AUC = 19.37 ± 0.09 µg/mL h and VD 2.4 ± 0.24 mL) and pure drug (AUC = 8.37 ± 0.04 µg/mL h and VD = 5.24 ± 0.29 mL) indicate higher concentrations of LDC in systemic circulation, while pure 5-FU was found to be largely available in tissue rather than blood circulation. The t1/2 for LDC represents an approximate rise by ninefold, while MRT (12.10 ± 0.44 h) denotes 12-fold rise than pure 5-FU indicating the prolonged circulation of LDC. Free 5-FU concentration in the brain was maximum (5.24 ± 0.01 μg/g) after 3 h, while for the optimized formulation of LDC it was twofold greater estimated as 11.52 ± 0.32 μg/g. In conclusion, the efficiency of 5-FU to treat the brain is increased when it is formulated with LDC nanoparticles.

Research was highlighted to formulate target drug delivery to treat migraine via the olfactory lobe through the intranasal route using ethosomal thermoreversible gel. Ethosomes were prepared by thin film hydration method using 32 factorial design. The prepared ethosomes were evaluated for percent drug loading, vesicle size, zeta potential, and polydispersity index, whereas nanoethosomal in situ gels were assessed for their pH, viscosity, mucoadhesive strength, and in vitro drug release. Ex vivo drug permeation was evaluated using nasal mucosa of sheep. The data produced from the experimental design indicated NE6 (soya lecithin 3%:ethanol 50%) as the optimized ethosome formulation, whereas NG3 (carbol 934-0.3%) and NG6 (PVP K30-0.3%) were recorded as the optimized in situ gel formulations. In vitro and ex vivo drug release demonstrated almost 100% release after 24 h for optimized formulations. In conclusion, drug-loaded in situ mucoadhesive gels could release the drug for longer duration of time which can improve the bioavailability providing new dimension to the treatment of migraine.

The present work focusses on formulation of PEGylated liposomes to achieve longer circulation in the blood, prevent the liposomes from opsonisation by mononuclear phagocytic system of RES. The higher plasma concentration of voriconazole leads to visual disturbance and dermatological side effect, which are minimized by PEGylation. Compatibility studies like FTIR (Fourier Transform IR) and DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) showed that lipids or drug do not interact and are highly compatible. Liposomes were prepared by thin lipid film hydration method, applying 32 full factorial design with various molar ratio of phospholipids like DPPC /Cholesterol /DSPE mPEG2000. Vesicular size and zeta potential was found within desired range of 100-300 nm to effectively pass through intra venous circulation. Long circulating liposomes were found to have entrapment efficiency of 75-85%. TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) showed distinctive spherical shaped vesicles. Long circulatory effect was confirmed from biodistribution study. Stability studies of long circulating liposomes were carried out and Pegylated liposomes successfully showed long circulatory action inside the body and minimized side effect of drug with appreciable antifungal activity determined by microbiological assay (zone of inhibition).

The vesicle size of the prepared liposomes was found to be 70.12 ± 0.58 nm and uniform distribution was observed. The zeta potential and entrapment efficiency of the stealth liposomes were found -16.28 mV and 92 ± 0.007% respectively. In-vitro drug release study of formulation showed drug release of 63.50 ± 0.94% in 24 hrs. The formulation was sterilized by 0.22 µm Mixed cellulose esters (MCE) membrane filter and passed sterility test. Moreover, a biodistribution study was performed by Fluorescence microscopy and by HPLC method, which showed formulation was circulated for 24 hours. Finally, a cell line study indicated that prepared formulation possess greater anti-tumour activity. The cardiotoxicity study revealed that the stealth liposomes have minimum cardiotoxicity as compare to the plain drug.

The Box–Behnken design was used to optimize the formulation, evaluate the particle size, entrapment efficiency, morphology, in vitro drug release study, and stability profiles. The in vitro performance was executed using cell line studies. The in vivo performance was carried out for pharmacokinetic studies, sterility test, biodistribution studies, and distribution lipid–drug conjugated (LDC) nanoparticles in the brain. Particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, and morphology of the optimized formulation demonstrated desirable results. In vitro release pattern showed initial fast release, followed by sustained release up to 48 h. Cytotoxic effects of blank stearic acid nanoparticles, LDC nanoparticles, and 5-FU solution on human glioma cell lines U373 MG cell showed more cytotoxicity by LDC-NPs compared to others. The values reported for LDC (AUC = 19.37 ± 0.09 µg/mL h and VD 2.4 ± 0.24 mL) and pure drug (AUC = 8.37 ± 0.04 µg/mL h and VD = 5.24 ± 0.29 mL) indicate higher concentrations of LDC in systemic circulation, while pure 5-FU was found to be largely available in tissue rather than blood circulation. The t1/2 for LDC represents an approximate rise by ninefold, while MRT (12.10 ± 0.44 h) denotes 12-fold rise than pure 5-FU indicating the prolonged circulation of LDC. Free 5-FU concentration in the brain was maximum (5.24 ± 0.01 μg/g) after 3 h, while for the optimized formulation of LDC it was twofold greater estimated as 11.52 ± 0.32 μg/g. In conclusion, the efficiency of 5-FU to treat the brain is increased when it is formulated with LDC nanoparticles.

Research was highlighted to formulate target drug delivery to treat migraine via the olfactory lobe through the intranasal route using ethosomal thermoreversible gel. Ethosomes were prepared by thin film hydration method using 32 factorial design. The prepared ethosomes were evaluated for percent drug loading, vesicle size, zeta potential, and polydispersity index, whereas nanoethosomal in situ gels were assessed for their pH, viscosity, mucoadhesive strength, and in vitro drug release. Ex vivo drug permeation was evaluated using nasal mucosa of sheep. The data produced from the experimental design indicated NE6 (soya lecithin 3%:ethanol 50%) as the optimized ethosome formulation, whereas NG3 (carbol 934-0.3%) and NG6 (PVP K30-0.3%) were recorded as the optimized in situ gel formulations. In vitro and ex vivo drug release demonstrated almost 100% release after 24 h for optimized formulations. In conclusion, drug-loaded in situ mucoadhesive gels could release the drug for longer duration of time which can improve the bioavailability providing new dimension to the treatment of migraine.

The present work focusses on formulation of PEGylated liposomes to achieve longer circulation in the blood, prevent the liposomes from opsonisation by mononuclear phagocytic system of RES. The higher plasma concentration of voriconazole leads to visual disturbance and dermatological side effect, which are minimized by PEGylation. Compatibility studies like FTIR (Fourier Transform IR) and DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) showed that lipids or drug do not interact and are highly compatible. Liposomes were prepared by thin lipid film hydration method, applying 32 full factorial design with various molar ratio of phospholipids like DPPC /Cholesterol /DSPE mPEG2000. Vesicular size and zeta potential was found within desired range of 100-300 nm to effectively pass through intra venous circulation. Long circulating liposomes were found to have entrapment efficiency of 75-85%. TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) showed distinctive spherical shaped vesicles. Long circulatory effect was confirmed from biodistribution study. Stability studies of long circulating liposomes were carried out and Pegylated liposomes successfully showed long circulatory action inside the body and minimized side effect of drug with appreciable antifungal activity determined by microbiological assay (zone of inhibition).
