ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To prepare Imperatorin ultradeformable liposomes gel （IMP-UDLs-Gel），and to evaluate its quality. METHODS：Based on single factor test ，using 12 h accumulative penetration amount （Q12h）as evaluation index ，the proportion of carbomer 940，glycerol and propyl glycol in formulation of IMP-UDLs-Gel were investigated by orthogonal test. The optimal formulation was screened. The quality of IMP-UDLs-Gel prepared with the optimal formulation was evaluated. RESULTS ：The optimal formulation of IMP-UDLs-Gel included carbomer 940 proportion of 1％，glycerol proportion of 15％ and propyl glycol proportion of 10％. Q12 h of IMP-UDLs-Gel was （11.543±0.241）μg/cm2；the appearance was milky white and translucent ；the particle size was （93.13±1.68）nm，PDI was 0.268±0.012，Zeta potential was （－24.96±1.99）mV；pH was 7.32±0.03； viscosity was （45.37±1.27）g·s；steady flow was （0.727±0.002）μg·h/cm2，lag time was （4.358±0.175）h，apparent permeability coefficient was 1.392×10－3 cm/h，and it has good physical and optical stability. CONCLUSIONS ：The preparation method is stable and feasible ，and the prepared IMP-UDLs-Gel has good adhesion ，stability and transdermal property.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To optimize the formul ation of Polygala japonica cream，and to evaluate the quality of prepared cream. METHODS ：With centrifugal stability ，heat resistance stability and viscosity as evaluation indexes ，the weight coefficient was determined by analytic hierarchy process （AHP），criteria importance through intercriteria correlation （CRITIC）method and mixed weighted AHP-CRITIC ，and the comprehensive score was calculated. The amount of octadecyl alcohol ，hexadecanol and mixed emulsifier （polysorbate 60 mixed with glycerin monostearate at the mass ratio of 2.82）in the formulation of P. japonica cream were screened by central composite design-response surface methodology. The optimized formulation was validated. P. japonica cream prepared by the optimal preparation was evaluated in terms of apperance ，particle，pH，stability and rheological characteristics. RESULTS ：The weight coefficients of centrifugal stability ，heat resistance stability and viscosity were 0.428 5， 0.415 6 and 0.155 9 respectively，according to the mixed weighted AHP-CRITIC. The optimal formulations were 1.96 g of hexadecyl alcohol ，5.17 g of octadecyl alcohol ，2.48 g of mixed emulsifier ，1.83 g of polysorbate 60，0.65 g of glyceride monostearate，1 g of benzyl alcohol ，5 g of propylene glycol ，6 g of isopropyl myristate and 5 g of P. japonica extract，and then added water to 100 g. Prepared cream was a light yellow fluid paste with particle size of 0.5-2.5 μm and pH value of 6.5；the results of centrifugal test ，heat resistance test and cold resistance stability test showed that the cream had no oil-water separation or thickened paste. The prepared cream was shear-thinning non-Newtonian fluid. CONCLUSIONS ：P. japonica cream is prepared successfully，which shows good apperance ，particle，acidity and stability.
ABSTRACT
The oral colon-specific drug delivery system (OCDDS) has gained more attention from investigators in recent years since it can increase local drug concentration and reduce dosage and side effects.The type of colonspecific drug delivery system consists of enzyme dependent,pH dependent,time dependent,pressure dependent system and CODEDSTM.The development of many new materials and technology is very important for the preparation of new type of precise positioning colon-specific preparation.This article summarizes the advances in excipients and technique for oral colon-specific drug delivery system in recent years.It may provide a reference and a basis for the researchers concerned.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare transdermal penetration of triamcinolone acetonide liposparticles (TAA-LPPs) and TAA-Ethosomes in vitro. Methods The TAA-LPPs and TAA-Ethosomes were produced and the morphology was observed by transmission electron microscope,particle size was detected by laser particle analyzer. The percutaneous permeability in vitro was tested by modified Franz diffusion pools. The amount of penetrated triamcinolone acetonide and the retention in the skin were de-termined by HPLC. Results The shape of TAA-LPPs and TAA-Ethosomes was almost spherical with mean diameter of (99. 9±1. 3) and (105±1. 4) nm, respectively. The cumulative transdermal penetration of TAA-LPPs, TAA-Ethosomess and TAA suspension was (53. 59±4. 40),(87. 03±4. 87),and (30. 54±8. 61) μg·(cm2 ) -1 , respectively . The drug retention in the skin after 32 h was (1. 02±0. 13), (0. 62±0. 08), (0. 55±0. 17) μg·(cm2 ) -1 , respectively. Conclusion TAA-LPPs is better for transdermal administration of triamcinolone acetonide by reducing systemic absorption of the drug.
