Background: Cockleshell-derived aragonite calcium carbonate nanoparticles were prepared by the top-down approach for combine delivery of two types of drugs. Objective: The aim of this study was to synthesize and characterize thymoquinone-doxorubicin loaded cockle shell-derived aragonite calcium carbonate nanoparticle. Aragonite calcium carbonate nanoparticles encapsulating thymoquinone and doxorubicin alone were also prepared. Methods: The blank and drug-loaded nanoparticles were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Zeta potential, Fourier transformed infrared and X-ray diffraction. Drug delivery properties, in vitro drug release study at pH 7.4, 6 and 4.8, and effect of blank nanoparticles on MCF10A, 3T3, MDA MB231 cells were also analyzed. Results: The blank and drug-loaded nanoparticles were pleomorphic and their sizes varying from 53.65 ± 10.29 nm to 60.49 ± 11.36 nm with an overall negative charge. The entrapment efficiency of thymoquinone and doxorubicin were 41.6 and 95.8, respectively. The FTIR showed little alteration after loading thymoquinone and doxorubicin while XRD patterns revealed no changes in the crystallizations of nanoparticles after drug loading. The drug release kinetics of doxorubicin and thymoquinone from the nanoparticles showed a continuous and gradual release after an initial burst release was observed. At pH 4.8, about 100% of drug release was noticed, 70% at pH 6 while only 50% at pH 7.4. The cell viability was 80% at a concentration of 1000 ug/ml of blank nanoparticle. Conclusion: The cockle shell-derived pH sensitive aragonite calcium carbonate nanoparticle provides an effective and simple means of multiple drug delivery and function as a platform for pH controlled release of loaded therapeutic agents.

In this work, gold embedded chitosan nanoparticles (Au@CS NPs) were fabricated by a one-pot method. The benzaldehyde-terminated poly[(2-methacryloyloxy) ethyl phosphorylcholine] (PMPC) was applied to modification of the gold doped chitosan nanoparticles. The obtained Au@CS-PMPC NPs had the diameter of 135 nm with a narrow distribution. The size of the Au@CS-PMPC NPs, as well as the size of the embedded gold NPs, might be well-controlled by adjusting the feeding ratio between chitosan and HAuCl4. Furthermore, the Au@CS-PMPC NPs showed increased colloidal stability, high drug loading content, pH-responsive drug release, excellent biocompatibility and bright fluorescence emission. The results demonstrated that Au@CS-PMPC NPs showed a great potential for tumor therapy via the combination advantages of pH-sensitive controlled drug release and cellular fluorescence imaging.

Objective: The aim of the study was to develop and characterize mucoadhesive microbeads for oral sustained release of atorvastatin by using hydrophilic polymers and application of different process variables in designing of pH sensitive swellable microbeads.Methods: Microbeads were prepared by ionic gelation method. The compatibility studies of atorvastatin with polymers were investigated by differential scanning calorimeter and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy studies. In this work process variable like optimization of curing agents and their quantity, effect of rpm, and their influence in drug entrapment were studied. Prepared beads were characterized for particle size, swelling index, erosion studies and drug release studies.Results: Mixture of alginate and carbopol 934 P at 3.3 % w/v shows sustained release and good mucoadhesive capacity. Furthermore, drug loading and swelling increased with the use of a combination of polymers. On basis of in vitro release studies and swelling studies, it was observed that sodium alginate coated with carbopol 934 P showed sustained release of 84.5 % at end of 10 h in 6.8 phosphate buffer. The optimised batch followed peppas and higuchi release mechanism and releasing the drug by non-fickian transport.Conclusion: The alginate beads with a combination of carbopol 934P showed a sustain release pattern. The release rate and swelling of atorvastatin beads could be adjusted by adding other hydrophilic polymers or by optimising curing agents, curing time and their volume. The zero order of drug release was confirmed for all the batches. The in vitro data was better fit to Higuchi’s diffusion model and diffusion rate limited.
