AbstractNanoscale ceramic particles, such as layered double hydroxides (LDHs), have been developed to deliver drugs or genes into biological cells. In this article, we describe the controlled-release properties of LDHs as drug delivery carriers, the formation of bio-LDH nanohybrids, theirin vivoandin vitrocytotoxicity tests, and their potential as anticancer gene delivery carriers. Unstable biomolecules can be intercalated into LDHs, displacing the interlayer anions; the drug or gene's negative charge is thus shielded, enabling penetration into the cell. In the slightly acidic environment of the cell, ceramic nanoplatelets of ∼100 nm diameter dissolve, thus releasing the intercalates in a controlled manner.

Background: Drug delivery systems such as hydrogels have become relevant in cardiovascular and metabolic therapies due to their sustained and controlled release properties of drugs, versatile polymer structures, safety and biodegradability. Results: The literature presented demonstrates that a hydrogel-based controlled release system increases the therapeutic efficacy in different components of the metabolic syndrome. Hypertension has been the most explored component with advances in vitro and murine models. However, clinical evidence in humans is scarce, and more translational studies are needed. Hydrogel-based systems for diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia have been little explored. Observations mainly demonstrated an increase in therapeutic efficacy, in vitro and in vivo, for the use of insulin, leptin, and natural components, such as epigallocatechin gallate. In all cases, the hydrogel systems achieve better plasma levels of the loaded compound, higher bioavailability, and low cytotoxicity; compared to conventional systems. Also, the evidence existing suggests that the development of an injectable hydrogel system for controlled release of drugs or therapeutic compounds is presented as an attractive option for MeS treatment, due to the possibility of sustained pharmacological release, no need for repeated doses, and a safe administration route. Conclusion: The following review aims to evaluate the use of the hydrogel systems in the therapy of diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, which are the main components of metabolic syndrome.

Aim: This research work was aimed to evaluate Metformin hydrochloride (MH) floating dosage form by In vitro evaluation/In vivo prediction and to evaluate it’s predictability through it’s application during the R&D using Insilico technique in WINONLIN Software. MH was examined as a model drug, which is a biguanide and is an hypoglycemic agent administered orally. The study was aimed to determine the the systemic concentrations of MH using In-vivo prediction. Study Design: Fabrication and assessment of Metformin hydrochloride floating drug delivery system: In Vitro evaluation /In Vivo prediction. Biorelevant media was selected for dissolution profile of 12 units of dosage form. Software assisted program used for data feeding and results output. Methodology: The absorption window for MH is the upper portion of the small gut in which the GI absorption is complete after 6 h. Hence gastroretentive formulation was developed and validity of dissolution study was extended by In vivo pharmacokinetic prediction using WinNonlin Software. A mechanistic oral absorption model was built in Phoenix WinNonlin® software. In the presented work, significant yet crucial, gastrointestinal (GI) variables are considered for biopredictive dissolution testing to account for a valuable input for physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) platform programs. While simulations are performed and mechanistic insights are gained from such simulations from the WinNonlin program. Results: These floating tablets were observed for In vitro release and studied for In vivo pharmacokinetic prediction. From the obtained values, a meaningful In vivo prediction was done. interestingly from the results attained floating tablets showed sustained drug release and extended drug absorbed in 24h. Fascinatingly, from the data it was proved that drug formulation resides for desired time. The absorption of MH from the developed CR tablet was 1.4 fold higher than its marketed tablet and it had higher AUC0–t values than the marketed product which indicates superior bioavailability of test product compared to marketed tablet with similar dose in Invivo pharmacokinetic prediction. The mean value of biological half-life (t1/2) and Tmax of MH from test formulation is two times more, Test product has shown higher MRT, showing that the drug is maintained longer in the body in comparison to marketed product indicates controlled absorption. Conclusion: Here we concluded that, a comparative prediction pharmacokinetic evaluation of the fabricated controlled release tablets and the marketed formulation indicates that the fabricated controlled release tablets are well absorbed and the degree of absorption is greater than that of the marketed ER formulation with larger gastric residence time.
