We present the use of the synthetic clay fluorohectorite (Fh) as a drug delivery system of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin. The adsorption capacity is very high, and Fh promotes controlled drug release without changing drug effectiveness and toxicity.

Drug-delivery systems with a unique capability to respond to a given stimulus can improve therapeutic efficacy. However, development of such systems is currently heavily reliant on responsive polymeric materials and pursuing this singular strategy limits the potential for clinical translation. In this report, with a model system used for drug-release studies, we demonstrate a new strategy: how a temperature-responsive non-toxic, volatile liquid can be encapsulated and stored under ambient conditions and subsequently programmed for controlled drug release without relying on a smart polymer. When the stimulus temperature is reached, controlled encapsulation of different amounts of dye in the capsules is achieved and facilitates subsequent sustained release. With different ratios of the liquid (perfluorohexane): dye in the capsules, enhanced controlled release with real-time response is provided. Hence, our findings offer great potential for drug-delivery applications and provide new generic insights into the development of stimuli drug-release systems.

: Mucoadhesive formulations have been demonstrated to result in efficient drug delivery systems with advantages over existing systems such as increased local retention and sustained drug release via adhesiveness to mucosal tissues. The controlled release of colon-targeted, orally administered drugs has recently attracted a number of studies investigating mucoadhesive systems. Consequently, substantial designs, from mucoadhesive cores to shells of particles, have been studied with promising applications. This review will provide an overview of and discuss specific strategies for developing mucoadhesive systems for colon-targeted oral delivery with controlled drug release, including mucoadhesive matrices, cross-linked mucoadhesive microparticles, coatings and mucoadhesive nanoparticles. The understanding of the basic principle of these designs and advanced formulations throughout will lead to the development of products with efficient drug delivery at the colon for therapies for different diseases.

The amphiphilic peptide sequence H-Phe-Glu-Phe-Gln-Phe-Lys-OH (MBG-1) is developed as a novel hydrogelator for controlled-drug release, which is the smallest tunable ionic self-complementary hydrogelating peptide reported to date making it attractive for larger scale preparation.

Purpose. Nanomedicine explores and allows for the development of drug delivery devices with superior drug uptake, controlled release and fewer drug side-effects. This study explored the use of nanosystems to formulate an implantable drug delivery device capable of sustained zidovudine release over a prolonged period. Methods. Pectin and alginate nanoparticles were prepared by applying a salting out and controlled gelification approach, respectively. The nanoparticles were characterized by attenuated total reflectance-fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) and were further evaluated for zidovudine (AZT) entrapment efficiency. Multipolymeric scaffolds were prepared by crosslinking carboxymethyl cellulose, polyethylene oxide and epsilon caprolactone for entrapment of zidovudine-loaded alginate nanoparticles to impart enhanced controlled release of zidovudine over the time period. Swelling and textural analysis were conducted on the scaffolds. Prepared scaffolds were treated with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to reduce the swelling of matrix in the hydrated environment thereby further controlling the drug release. Drug release studies in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4, 37°C) were undertaken on both zidovudine-loaded nanoparticles and native scaffolds containing alginate nanoparticles. Results. A higher AZT entrapment efficiency was observed in alginate nanoparticles. Biphasic release was observed with both nanoparticle formulations, exhibiting an initial burst release of drug within hours of exposure to PBS, followed by a constant release rate of AZT over the remaining 30 days of nanoparticle analysis. Exposure of the scaffolds to HCl served to reduce the drug release rate from the entrapped alginate nanoparticles and extended the AZT release up to 30 days. Conclusions. The crosslinked multipolymeric scaffold loaded with alginate nanoparticles and treated with 1% HCl showed the potential for prolonged delivery of zidovudine over a period of 30 days and therefore may be a potential candidate for use as an implantable device in treating Aids Dementia Complex.

One of the main challenges in designing a release system is the possibility to control the release rate in order to maintain it at a constant value below a defined limit, to avoid exceeding the toxicity threshold. We propose a method of overcoming this difficulty by introducing the drug into liposomes, prior to its inclusion in the hydrogel. Furthermore, a natural cross linker (as is tannic acid) is used, instead of the toxic cross linkers commonly used, thus reducing the toxicity of the release system as a whole.

Background: Controlled drug delivery systems can maintain the concentration of drugs in the exact sites of the body within the optimum range and below the toxicity threshold, improving therapeutic efficacy and reducing toxicity. Mesostructured Cellular Foam (MCF) material is a new promising host for drug delivery systems due to high biocompatibility, in vivo biodegradability and low toxicity. Methods: Ketorolac-Tromethamine/MCF composite was synthesized. The material synthesis and loading of ketorolac-tromethamine into MCF pores were successful as shown by XRD, FTIR, TGA, TEM and textural analyses. Results: We obtained promising results for controlled drug release using the novel MCF material. The application of these materials in KETO release is innovative, achieving an initial high release rate and then maintaining a constant rate at high times. This allows keeping drug concentration within the range of therapeutic efficacy, being highly applicable for the treatment of diseases that need a rapid response. The release of KETO/MCF was compared with other containers of KETO (KETO/SBA-15) and commercial tablets. Conclusion: The best model to fit experimental data was Ritger-Peppas equation. Other models used in this work could not properly explain the controlled drug release of this material. The predominant release of KETO from MCF was non-Fickian diffusion.

Background: Venlafaxine HCl is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor which is given in the treatment of depression. The delivery of the drug at a controlled rate can be of great importance for prolonged effect. Objective: The objective was to prepare and optimize the controlled release core in cup matrix tablet of venlafaxine HCl using the combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers to prolong the effect with rate controlled drug release. Methods: The controlled release core in cup matrix tablets of venlafaxine HCl were prepared using HPMC K5, K4, K15, HCO, IPA, aerosol, magnesium sterate, hydrogenated castor oil and micro crystalline cellulose PVOK-900 using wet granulation technique. Total ten formulations with varying concentrations of polymers were prepared and evaluated for different physicochemical parameters such FTIR analysis for drug identification, In-vitro drug dissolution study was performed to evaluate the amount of drug release in 24 hrs, drug release kinetics study was performed to fit the data in zero order, first order, Hixson–crowell and Higuchi equation to determine the mechanism of drug release and stability studies for 3 months as observed. Results: The results of hardness, thickness, weight variation, friability and drug content study were in acceptable range for all formulations. Based on the In vitro dissolution profile, formulation F-9 was considered to be the optimized extending the release of 98.32% of drug up to 24 hrs. The data fitting study showed that the optimized formulation followed the zero order release rate kinetics and also compared with innovator product (flavix XR) showed better drug release profile. Conclusion: The core-in-cup technology has a potential to control the release rate of freely water soluble drugs for single administration per day by optimization with combined use of hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers.
