In this paper, it was analysed the influence of formulation factors over obtaining oxicam hydrogels, using the statistical analysis. Data analysis and predictive modeling by multivariate regression offers a large number of possible explanatory/predictive variables. Therefore, variable selection and dimension reduction is a major task for multivariate statistical analysis, especially for multivariate regressions. The statistical analysis and computational data processing of responses obtained from different pharmaceutical formulations, via different experimental protocols, lead to the optimization of the formulation process. It was found that the most suitable pharmaceutical formulations based on oxicams with the possibility of rapid release contained cyclodextrin, in particular 2-hydroxypropyl-b-cyclodextrin.

Background: The research work involves development of PLGA biodegradable microspheres loaded with dexamethasome for intraocular delivery. Objective: To design and evaluate long acting PLGA microspheres for ocular delivery of dexamethasone. Method: Present formulation involves the development of long acting dexamethasone loaded microspheres composed of a biodegradable controlled release polymer, Poly(D, L- lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), for the treatment of posterior segment eye disorders intravitreally. PLGA with monomer ratio of 50:50 of lactic acid to glycolic acid was used to achieve a drug release up to 45 days. Quality by Design approach was utilized for designing the experiments. Single emulsion solvent evaporation technique along with high pressure homogenization was used to facilitate formation of microspheres. Results: Particle size evaluation, drug content and drug entrapment efficiency were determined for the microspheres. Particle size and morphology was observed using Field Emission Gun-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FEG-SEM) and microspheres were in the size range of 1-5 μm. Assessment of drug release was done using in vitro studies and transretinal permeation was observed by ex vivo studies using goat retinal tissues. Conclusion: Considering the dire need for prolonged therapeutic effect in diseases of the posterior eye, an intravitreal long acting formulation was designed. Use of biodegradable polymer with biocompatible degradation products was a rational approach to achieve this aim. Outcome from present research shows that developed microspheres would provide a long acting drug profile and reduce the frequency of administration thereby improving patient compliance.

GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of diabetes medicines offering self-regulating glycemic efficacy and may best be administrated in long-acting forms. Among GLP-1 receptor agonists, exenatide is the one requiring the least dose so that controlled-release poly(d, l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres may best achieve this purpose. Based on this consideration, the present study extended the injection interval of exenatide microspheres from one week of the current dosage form to four weeks by simply blending Mg(OH)2 powder within the matrix of PLGA microspheres. Mg(OH)2 served as the diffusion channel creator in the earlier stage of the controlled-release period and the decelerator of the self-catalyzed degradation of PLGA (by the formed lactic and glycolic acids) in the later stage due to its pH-responsive solubility. As a result, exenatide gradually diffused from the microspheres through Mg(OH)2-created diffusion channels before degradation of the PLGA matrix, followed by a mild release due to Mg(OH)2-buffered degradation of the polymer skeleton. In addition, an extruding–settling process comprising squeezing the PLGA solution through a porous glass membrane and sedimentation-aided solidification of the PLGA droplets was used to prepare the microspheres to ensure narrow size distribution and 95% encapsulation efficiency in an aqueous continuous phase. A pharmacokinetic study using rhesus monkey model confirmed the above formulation design by showing a steady blood concentration profile of exenatide with reduced CMAX and dosage form index.
