Résumé

d-α-Tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS, also known as vitamin E-TPGS) is a biodegradable amphiphilic polymer prepared by esterification of vitamin E with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 1000. It is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has found wide application in nanocarrier drug delivery systems (NDDS). Fully characterizing the in vivo fate and pharmacokinetic behavior of TPGS is important to promote the further development of TPGS-based NDDS. However, to date, a bioassay for the simultaneous quantitation of TPGS and its metabolite, PEG1000, has not been reported. In the present study, we developed such an innovative bioassay and used it to investigate the pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution and excretion of TPGS and PEG1000 in rat after oral and intravenous dosing. In addition, we evaluated the interaction of TPGS with cytochromes P450 (CYP450s) in human liver microsomes. The results show that TPGS is poorly absorbed after oral administration with very low bioavailability and that, after intravenous administration, TPGS and PEG1000 are mainly distributed to the spleen, liver, lung and kidney before both being slowly eliminated in urine and feces as PEG1000. In vitro studies show the inhibition of human CYP450 enzymes by TPGS is limited to a weak inhibition of CYP3A4. Overall, our results provide a clear picture of the in vivo fate of TPGS which will be useful in evaluating the safety of TPGS-based NDDS in clinical use and in promoting their further development.

Résumé

The objective of the present study was to develop a solid dispersion formulation to improve oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drug carvedilol. Several solid dispersions were prepared by fusion-solvent method mixing different concentrations of Gelucire 44/14 and Gelucire 50/13. To the resultant solid dispersions, microcrystalline cellulose and amorphous fumed silica were added to obtain a free-flowing powder. The dissolution of carvedilol was evaluated using an USP Type-II dissolution apparatus. Solid dispersion with Gelucire 44/14 showed, in general, a lower extent of drug release when compared to Gelucire 50/13 at the same concentrations. Gelucire 50/13 in a ratio of 1 to 1.75 (drug: Gelucire) achieved a drug release of 83% in 4 hours, a 5-fold increase compared to pure carvedilol. When incorporating 10% D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (vitamin E TPGS/ TPGS) a higher drug release was observed (88%). Parallel artificial membrane permeability assay was used to evaluate the in vitro diffusion. GelucireTPGS solid dispersion showed a higher permeability coefficient compared to pure drug. After oral administration to Sprague-Dawley rats, a significant increase in the oral bioavailability of carvedilol was observed when administered as a solid dispersion in combination with Gelucire-TPGS, 169% higher compared to pure drug suspension.

Résumé

Hesperetin, an abundant bioactive component of citrus fruits, is poorly water-soluble, resulting in low oral bioavailability. We developed new formulations to improve the water solubility, antioxidant activity, and oral absorption of hesperetin. Two nano-based formulations were developed, namely hesperetin-TPGS (D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate) micelles and hesperetin-phosphatidylcholine (PC) complexes. These two formulations were prepared by a simple technique called solvent dispersion, using US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved excipients for drugs. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used to characterize the formulations' physical properties. Cytotoxicity analysis, cellular antioxidant activity assay, and a pharmacokinetic study were performed to evaluate the biological properties of these two formulations. The final weight ratios of both hesperetin to TPGS and hesperetin to PC were 1:12 based on their water solubility, which increased to 21.5- and 20.7-fold, respectively. The hesperetin-TPGS micelles had a small particle size of 26.19 nm, whereas the hesperetin-PC complexes exhibited a larger particle size of 219.15 nm. In addition, the cellular antioxidant activity assay indicated that both hesperetin-TPGS micelles and hesperetin-PC complexes increased the antioxidant activity of hesperetin to 4.2- and 3.9-fold, respectively. Importantly, the in vivo oral absorption study on rats indicated that the micelles and complexes significantly increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) from 2.64 μg/mL to 20.67 and 33.09 μg/mL and also increased the area under the concentration-time curve of hesperetin after oral administration to 16.2- and 18.0-fold, respectively. The micelles and complexes increased the solubility and remarkably improved the in vitro antioxidant activity and in vivo oral absorption of hesperetin, indicating these formulations' potential applications in drugs and healthcare products.

Résumé

Introduction@#Many effective anticancer drugs are limited to use for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) therapy due to drug resistance mechanisms in liver cells. In recent years, tumor-targeted drug delivery and inhibition of drug resistance-related mechanisms become an integrated strategy to combat effectively chemoresistant cancer. @*Aim@#Herein, lactobionic acid-conjugated D-α-Tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS-LA conjugate) was developed as a potential asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASG PR (-targeted nanocarrier and an efficient inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) to enhance etoposide (ETO) efficacy against HCC. @*Methods@#Main properties of ETO-loaded TPGS-LA nanoparticles (NPs) were tested through in vitro and in vivo studies after prepared using nanoprecipitation method and characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS). @*Results@#According to the results, smaller sized (~141.43 nm) and positively charged ETO-loaded TPGS-LA NPs were more suitable to provide an efficient delivery to hepatoma cells by avoiding clearance mechanisms. It was found that ETO-loaded TPGS-LA NPs could enhance noticeably cytotoxicity of ETO in HepG2 cells. Besides, markedly higher internalization by ASGPR overexpressed HepG2 cells and efficient accumulation at tumor site in vivo were revealed in TPGS-LA NPs group. More importantly, animal studies confirmed that ETO-loaded TPGS-LA NPs achieved the highest therapeutic efficacy against HCC. Interestingly, ETO-loaded TPGS-LA NPs also exhibited a great inhibitory effect on P-gp compared to ETO-loaded TPGS NPs. @*Conclusion@#These results suggest that TPGSLA NPs could be used as a potential delivery system of ETO against HCC.

Résumé

Artesunate, which is a widely used anti-malaria medicine, can be made into liposome to overcome its poor bioactivity. Its tissue distribution in rats may change with different dosage forms, which therefore shall be studied after ARS-TPGS-Lipo was injected. Based on this experiment, ARS-TPGS-Lipo and ARS-Lipo were prepared by thin-film hydration method. LC-MS/MS method was used to simultaneously determine ARS and DHA in rat tissues at different time points. The results showed that this method was suitable for the content analysis of ARS and DHA in biological samples. The distribution of ARS and DHA in ARS-TPGS-Lipo, ARS-Lipo and ARS groups were quite different. The content of ARS-TPGS-Lipo in liver was the highest, with significant differences.ARS and DHA contents in ARS group eliminated rapidly. ARS and DHA contents in ARS-Lipo group were higher in liver and spleen, while those in ARS-TPGS-Lipo group significantly increased only in liver (<0.05).

Résumé

ABSTRACT Transdermal nicotine patches have been used in smoking cessation therapy, suggested for the treatment of skin disorders with eosinophilic infiltration and have been found to improve attention performance in patients with Alzheimer's disease and age-associated memory impairment. However, skin irritation with extended patch use is still a problem. The aim of this work was to develop a simple to prepare liquid crystalline system containing vitamin E TPGS that would be able to control nicotine delivery and reduce irritation and sensitization problems. The liquid crystalline phases were macroscopically characterized by visual analysis and examined microscopically under a polarized light microscope. Topical and transdermal delivery of nicotine were investigated in vitro using porcine ear skin mounted on a Franz diffusion cell. Nicotine skin permeation from the developed cubic phase followed zero-order kinetics (r = 0.993) and was significantly enhanced after 12 h when compared to the control formulation (nicotine solution) (p < 0.05) (138.86 ± 20.44 and 64.91 ± 4.06 μg/cm2, respectively). Cubic phase was also able to target viable skin layers in comparison to control solution (8.18 ± 1.89 and 2.63 ± 2.51 μg/cm2, respectively). Further studies to evaluate skin sensitization and irritation are now necessary.


RESUMO Adesivos transdérmicos de nicotina são utilizados para cessação de fumar, tratamento de problemas de pele com infiltração de eosinófilos e para melhorar a atenção em pacientes com doença de Alzheimer e enfraquecimento da memória associada à idade. No entanto, a irritação da pele com o uso prolongado dos adesivos ainda é um problema. O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver sistema líquido cristalino (SLC) de preparo simples contendo vitamina E TPGS capaz de controlar a liberação de nicotina e reduzir os problemas de irritação cutânea. Os SLCs foram caracterizados por análise visual e microscopia de luz polarizada. As administrações tópica e transdérmica de nicotina foram investigadas in vitro utilizando pele de orelha de porco em célula de difusão de Franz. A permeação da nicotina veiculada pela fase cúbica desenvolvida seguiu cinética de ordem zero (r = 0,993) e foi significativamente maior do que o controle (solução de nicotina) após 12 h (p < 0,05) (138,86 ± 20,44 e 64,91 ± 4,06 µg/cm2, respectivamente). A fase cúbica também promoveu aumento da penetração de nicotina nas camadas viáveis da pele quando comparado ao controle (8,18 ± 1,89 e 2,63 ± 2,51 µg/cm2, respectivamente). Estudos futuros para avaliar a sensibilização e irritação da pele são necessários.

Objective: To prepare and optimize the prescription of colchicine ethosomes containing D-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) and to investigate its feasibility as a carrier for transdermal drug delivery. Methods: The colchicine ethosomes containing TPGS were prepared by the injection-sonication method. And the encapsulation efficiency (EE) was determined by minicolumn centrifugation method. The prescription of ethosomes was optimized by uniform design with EE as the evaluation index, and the physicochemical properties of the optimized ethosomes were investigated. Characterization of the vesicles was based on particle size, Zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The transdermal permeation characteristics of ethosomes, colchicine 30% ethanol solution, and colchicine ethosomes containing TPGS were compared by using Franz diffusion cells. Results: The optimized formulation was as follows: The contents of soybean phospholipid and TPGS were 350 and 50 mg, respectively. In addition, the concentration of ethanol was 36.44%. The average EE, particle size, polydispersity index, and Zeta potential were (74.71 ± 2.18)%, (89.6 ± 3.5) nm, 0.201 ± 0.008, and (-34.6 ± 2.7) mV, respectively. The in vitro experiment showed that the transdermal flux, permeation rate, and skin deposition of colchicine ethosomes were (64.49 ± 5.61) μg/cm2, (2.84 ± 0.23) μg/(cm2∙h), (128.22 ± 11.64) μg/cm2, and the transdermal flux, permeation rate, and skin deposition of colchicine ethosomes containing TPGS were (91.36 ± 7.11) μg/cm2, (4.73 ± 0.38) μg/(cm2∙h), and (182.84 ± 14.37) μg/cm2, respectively, which was significantly higher than those in ethosomes. Conclusion: The colchicine ethosomes containing TPGS show high EE and obviously enhance the percutaneous absorption of colchicine, which might be a potential carrier for transdermal drug delivery.

Résumé

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of TPGS 1000 and Soluplus on the transport of ginsenoside CK in Caco-2 cell model. METHODS: The effects of TPGS 1000 and Soluplus at different concentrations on ginsenoside CK were evaluated by using Caco-2 cell model. The concentration of ginsenoside CK in cell was examined by ultra high pressure liquid chromatography (UPLC) method. The apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) and the efflux ratio were calculated. RESULTS: When the proportion of ginsenoside CK to TPGS 1000 or Soluplus was 1:1, 1:3, and 1:9, the absorption of ginsenoside CK significantly increased. The efflux and efflux ratio both decreased significantly (P<0.05). TPGS 1000 had more significant promotion effect on the transport of ginsenoside CK than the same dose of soluplus at the same ratio (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: In Caco-2 cell model, both TPGS 1000 and Soluplus can significantly promote the absorption of ginsenoside CK.
