Drug-in-cyclodextrin-in-liposome (DCL) represents a very promising approach for preserving essential oil (EO) components, thereby extending their shelf life and activity. In this study, we examined the effect of chemical structure, octanol/water partition coefficient (log P), and Henry's law constant (Hc) on the encapsulation and the release of monoterpenes (eucalyptol, pulegone, terpineol, and thymol) and phenylpropenes (estragole and isoeugenol) from DCLs. Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin/EO component (HP-β-CD/EO component) inclusion complexes were prepared in aqueous solution and loaded into liposomes by the ethanol injection method. The phospholipidcholesterolEO component molar ratio determined for DCL structures was affected by characteristics of EO components. The presence of a propenyl tail or a hydroxyl group in the structure of EO component may improve its loading into DCLs. Furthermore, low encapsulation efficiency (EE) was obtained for DCLs exhibiting high cholesterol membrane content. In addition, a positive linear relationship was found between the loading ratio of monoterpenes into DCLs and their hydrophobic character expressed as log P. The release of components from DCLs was influenced by their EE into the formulations. Finally, DCL formulations retain considerable amounts of EO components after 10 months. V.One of the applications of Hot-Melt Extrusion (HME) is the stabilization of amorphous drugs through its incorporation into polymeric blends in the form of Amorphous Solid Dispersions (ASDs). In this study, HME was applied to solve a real problem in the development of an ibrutinib product, stabilizing the amorphous form. A systematic approach was followed by combining theoretical calculations, high-throughput screening (HTS) focused on physical stability and Principal Components Analysis (PCA). BTK inhibitor The HTS enabled the evaluation of 33 formulations for physical stability and the PCA was key to select four promising systems. The low relevance of drug loading on the drug crystallization supported the HME tests with a very high drug load of 50%. Milled extrudates were characterized and demonstrated to be fully amorphous. The thermal analysis detected a glass transition temperature much higher than the predicted values. Along with several weak intermolecular interactions detected in Raman spectroscopy, a dipolar interaction involving the α, β unsaturated ketone function of ibrutinib was also noticed. The additive effect of these intermolecular interactions changed markedly the performance of the ASDs. The physical strength of the prepared systems was corroborated by stability studies until 6 months at long-term and accelerated conditions. The main objective of the current research was to develop a compendial flow-through cell apparatus based in vitro release testing method for sustained-release triamcinolone acetonide-loaded poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) microspheres. Media-based and instrument-based parameters, such as surfactant type, concentration, media volume, flow rate, and testing temperature, were investigated. In addition, a detailed exploration was performed to reveal polymer degradation encompassing pore formation, channeling, and triamcinolone acetonide release from microspheres using freeze-fracture scanning electron microscopy. The developed USP apparatus 4 method demonstrated more than 85% drug release from the microspheres in 12 days and showcased reproducibility between different microsphere batches. Large medium volume (15 times saturation solubility) at low surfactant concentration was identified as a critical media-based parameter, with potential application in testing of other sensitive poorly soluble drugs. At 35 °C, drug release via pore channeling to the surface was evident, whereas at 39 °C, drug release slowed due to polymer plasticization. It was demonstrated here for the first time that elevated temperature-accelerated testing does not work for all PLGA-based microsphere products. Nano-sized lipid formulations offer a great potential for topical delivery of active compounds to treat and prevent human skin damages. Of particular importance is the high loading of hydrophobic molecules, the long-term stability and the auspicious penetration capacity especially reached when using lipid nanocapsules (LNC). Unfortunately, their formation currently relies on a phase inversion process that only operates when using a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) based surfactant belonging to the controversial PEG family that was subject of clinical awareness. The present study proposes an alternative to this overused polymer in formulations by designing LNC made of harmless amphiphilic polyoxazolines (POx). Implementing a short sonication step in the process allowed well-defined spherical nanoparticles of ~30 nm to be obtained. The structure of the so called LNC POx was composed of an oily core surrounded by a rigid shell of phospholipids and POx, which ensures a high stability over time, temperature, centrifugation and freezing. Encapsulation of the natural quercetin antioxidant led to a drug loading three times higher than for LNC constituted of PEG (LNC PEG). The antioxidant activity of loaded LNC POx was tested on mice fibroblasts and human keratinocytes after exposure to free radicals from peroxides and UVB irradiation, respectively. The radical scavenging capacity of quercetin loaded in the LNC POx was preserved and even slightly enhanced compared to LNC PEG, highlighting the POx value in nanoformulations. The use of proteins and defined amino acid sequences as therapeutic drugs have gained a certain interest in the past decade. However, protein encapsulation within protein nanoparticles was never endeavored. For this reason, human serum albumin (HSA) nanoparticles were prepared by nanoprecipitation method. The process was optimized, and particles were obtained with a size of 120 nm and zeta potential of -25 mV. Neutrophil elastase (NE) and secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) were encapsulated separately within HSA nanoparticles. Gel electrophoresis and western blot studies demonstrate the successful encapsulation and the stability of the particles. On the other hand, enzymatic assays show that encapsulated NE lost its proteolytic activity, whereas encapsulated SLPI maintained its inhibitory property. In addition, the antibacterial studies showed that both formulations were able to drastically reduce bacterial growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This work showed the possibility of using both NE and SLPI as anti-bacterial agents through encapsulation within HSA nanoparticles.
