Silimarin merupakan senyawa flavonolignan yang berasal dari tumbuhan Silybum marianum (Asteraceae). Silimarin memiliki efek farmakologi sebagai antikanker dan hepatoprotektor, tetapi senyawa ini memiliki kelarutan yang rendah dalam air. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengembangkan formulasi silimarin dalam sistem pembawa nano dengan teknik desolvasi. Pembawa yang digunakan adalah serum albumin (bovine serum albumin/BSA). Kombinasi silimarin dalam BSA diharapkan dapat meningkatkan efikasi silimarin sebagai anti kanker karena permeabilitas BSA yang lebih baik pada sel kanker. Evaluasi standar terhadap nanopartikel silimarin-BSA meliputi ukuran dan distribusi ukuran partikel, zeta potensial, morfologi nanopartikel, kristalinitas, sifat termal, spektroskopi inframerah, efisiensi penjeratan serta profil pelepasan silimarin dari BSA nanopartikel pada 2 media berbeda (HCl 0,1 N & PBS pH 7,4). Nanopartikel BSA- silimarin memiliki ukuran partikel 174,23 13,94 nm; distribusi ukuran partikel 0,185 0,052; efisiensi penjeratan 90,54 0,098 %; loading capacity 30,18 0,036 % dan zeta potensial -1,62 mV. Hasil analisis menggunakan DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), XRD (X-ray diffraction) dan spektroskopi inframerah menunjukan bahwa nanopartikel silimarin berhasil terenkapsulasi di dalam nanopartikel BSA, dan BSA-silimarin memiliki bentuk amorf. Setelah 1 jam uji pelepasan, terdapat sebanyak 21,89% silimarin terlepas dalam HCl 0,1 N dan 54,84% silimarin terlepas dalam PBS pH 7,4 sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa silimarin-BSA memiliki kelarutan yang baik dalam air. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan pengujian lebih lanjut untuk mengkaji akt ivitas serta perilaku silimarin-BSA in vivo untuk mengkonfirmasi data in vitro.

Apremilast (AP) {systematic name: (S)-2-[1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(methylsulfonyl)ethyl]-4-acetamidoisoindoline-1,3-dione} is an inhibitor of phosphodieasterase-4 (PDE4) and is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis. The ability of AP to form solvates has been investigated and three solvatomorphs of AP, namely, the AP ethyl acetate hemisolvate, C22H24N2O7S·0.5C4H8O2, the AP toluene hemisolvate, C22H24N2O7S·0.5C7H8, and the AP dichloromethane monosolvate, C22H24N2O7S·CH2Cl2, were obtained. The three AP solvatomorphs were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was used to analyze the structures, crystal symmetry, packing modes, stoichiometry and hydrogen-bonding interactions of the solvatomorphs. In addition, dissolution analyses were performed to study the dissolution rates of different AP solvatomorph tablets in vitro and to make comparisons with commercial apremilast tablets (produced by Celgene); all three solvatomorphs showed similar dissolution rates and similar values of the similarity factor f2 in a comparison of their dissolution profiles.

Background: Cilostazol is an anti-platelets drug with considerable antithrombotic effects in vivo. Therefore, it is widely used by elderly patients. However, it suffers from poor bioavailability due to its low aqueous solubility. The objective of this work was to enhance the dissolution of cilostazol with the aim of formulating fast dissolving tablets for geriatrics and those of swallowing difficulties. Methods: Ethanol-assisted co-grinding of cilostazol with sugar-based excipients was adopted. Sucralose and mannitol were used for this purpose as hydrophilic excipient as well as taste improving agents. The obtained products were investigated regarding differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and in vitro drug dissolution. Fast disintegrating tablets were prepared and evaluated. Results: Thermal behavior of the developed products reflected reduced crystallinity, it also suggested possible existence of new crystalline species with sucralose. Eutexia was also suggested for mannitol mixtures, that was supported by X-ray diffraction data. SEM indicated size reduction with the deposition of the drug as submicron particles over the excipient surface. Co-processing markedly improved cilostazol dissolution compared to unprocessed drug. The optimized formulations were successively formulated into fast disintegrating tablets. Conclusion: This investigation introduced the wet grinding strategy with sugar excipients as a platform for the formulation of easy to use tablets with optimum drug release.

Palbociclib (PAL) is an effective anti-breast cancer drug, but its use has been partly restricted due to poor bioavailability (resulting from extremely low water solubility) and serious adverse reactions. In this study, two cocrystals of PAL with resorcinol (RES) or orcinol (ORC) were prepared by evaporation crystallization to enhance their solubility. The cocrystals were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, Hirshfeld surface analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared and scanning electron microscopy. The intrinsic dissolution rates of the PAL cocrystals were determined in three different dissolution media (pH 1.0, pH 4.5 and pH 6.8), and both cocrystals showed improved dissolution rates at pH 1.0 and pH 6.8 in comparison to the parent drug. In addition, the cocrystals increased the solubility of PAL at pH 6.8 by 2–3 times and showed good stabilities in both the accelerated stability testing and stress testing. The PAL-RES cocrystal also exhibited an improved relative bioavailability (1.24 times) than PAL in vivo pharmacokinetics in rats. Moreover, the in vitro cytotoxicity assay of PAL-RES showed an increased IC50 value for normal cells, suggesting a better biosafety profile than PAL. Co-crystallization may represent a promising strategy for improving the physicochemical properties of PAL with better pharmacokinetics.

The super-tough bio-based nylon was prepared by melt extrusion. In order to improve the compatibility between bio-based nylon and elastomer, the elastomer POE was grafted with maleic anhydride. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) were used to study the compatibility and micro-distribution between super-tough bio-based nylon and toughened elastomers. The results of mechanical strength experiments show that the 20% content of POE-g-MAH has the best toughening effect. After toughening, the toughness of the super-tough nylon was significantly improved. The notched impact strength was 88 kJ/m2 increasing by 1700%, which was in line with the industrial super-tough nylon. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to study the crystallization behavior of bio-based PA56, and the effect of bio-based PA56 with high crystallinity on mechanical properties was analyzed from the microstructure.

4-Cyano-1,1'-biphenyl derivatives bearing ω-hydroxyalkyl substituents were reacted with methyl 3-chloro-3-oxopropionate or cyanoacetic acid, giving liquid-crystalline linear malonates and cyanoacetates. These compounds formed monotropic nematic phases at 62 °C down to ambient temperature upon cooling from the isotropic liquid. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction (WAXS).

Rat Bone

To study the effects of bicarbonate and magnesium on bone, mild acidosis and/or hypermagnesemia were produced in growing rats by feeding ammonium chloride and/or magnesium sulfate. Bone composition, quantitative histomorphometry, and mineral x-ray diffraction (XRD) characteristics were measured after 6 wk of treatment. The results demonstrated that both acidosis (decreased HCO3) and hypermagnesemia inhibited periosteal bone formation, and, when combined, results were summative; and the previously observed in vitro role of HCO3- and Mg2+ as inhibitors of crystal growth were confirmed in vivo. XRD measurements demonstrated that decreased plasma HCO3 resulted in larger crystals and increased Mg resulted in smaller crystals. However, the combined XRD effects of acidosis and hypermagnesemia resembled acidosis alone. It is postulated that the final composition and crystal structure of bone are strongly influenced by HCO3- and Mg2+, and the effects are mediated by the combined influence on both osteoblastic bone formation and the growth of hydroxyapatite.

Alkyl Chains

Six S,S-dialkyl acetals 2a-f of inosose (1), tripodal in structure, have been synthesized, characterized and investigated by optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (d.s.c.). The four S,S-acetals 2c-f with sufficiently long alkyl chains are thermotropic liquid crystalline; 2 e and 2 f are even dithermomesomorphic. Each of these four inosose derivatives 2c-f exhibits monotropically a most likely cubic mesophase (MI); in addition 2e and 2f show enantiotropically a hexagonal mesophase (Hx) with a non-covalent, supramolecular H-bridge architecture. Whereas the nature of the optically isotropic mesophase MI needs further clarification the stable high temperature mesophase Hx of 2 e and 2 f has been established by a miscibility test using a sugar S,S-dialkyl acetal also tripodal in structure and with a Hx phase proved by X-ray diffraction, but in contrast to 2 with an acyclic hydrophilic part. Similarities of structural features between the Hx-phases of 2e and 2f as well as of other thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystal systems are discussed briefly.

Solid Form

Crystallisations on both the academic and industrial scale often use large volumes of solvent. In order decrease the environmental impact of such processes, new techniques must be discovered that increase the efficiency of the solvents used. Introduced here is a process that combines repurposed industry standard hardware and aspects of mechanochemistry to produce a technique we call “Vapour Assisted Tumbling” (VAT). Pharmaceutical and well-known cocrystals and salts were formed by tumbling the coformers in an atmosphere of vaporised solvent, in this study, methanol (MeOH). This was done inside a custom built analogue of an industrial rotary cone dryer (RCD). It was found that a desired solid form could be obtained as monitored by powder X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. By repurposing industrial RCDs, it is feasible that solid forms can be crystallised with both minimal and reusable/recyclable solvent – drastically lowering the environmental impact of such transformations.
