Formulation and Evaluation of Lotion Containing Vitamin D To Protect Breast Cancer Patients from Radiation Dermatitis

Mr Deepak Biswas, Vinay Sagar Verma

This study involved developing and evaluating a vitamin D lotion to protect breast cancer patients' skin from radiotherapy-induced dermatitis. This lotion was produced using an emulsion-based system combining vitamin D with excipients for stability and efficacy. Physical and chemical assessments for the lotion in question included pH 5.2, viscosity of 2400 cPs, and spreading pleasingly smoothness. The acceptable range was met; however, sensory testing showed high acceptability scores by patients, as: mean scores were 4.2 for spreadability, 4.4 for absorption, and 4.6 for comfort. Significant reductions in radiation dermatitis severity were established with significant improvement in RTOG/EORTC scores from baseline to week 4: from 3.5 to 1.5, p

Itraconazole Nanoemulsion Formulation and Assessment for Improved Oral Bioavailability

Rashmi Chanda, Deleshwar Kumar

Itraconazole is a potent antifungal agent, which has poor solubility and high first-pass metabolism, thus limiting its oral bioavailability. The present research work focuses on the enhancement of itraconazole's bioavailability through the formulation and evaluation of a nanoemulsion. A nanoemulsion was prepared with the help of Tween 80, medium-chain triglycerides, and propylene glycol. It was ensured the stability of the drug was ensured through mean particle size, 180 nm, polydispersity index of 0.15, and zeta potential of -22.4 mV. In vitro drug release experiments showed that the amount released was 88% within 4 hours, which is significantly higher compared to the output from the basic suspension with around 50% release. The ex vivo permeation experiments showed improvement in the drug permeability, sixfold. Pharmacokinetic studies in rats demonstrated high values of the obtained peak concentrations C_max of 25.4 μg/ml, and AUC_0-∞ of 110.2 μg·hr/ml. Stability studies from three months' duration showed a broader durability of the formulation. Noticeably, the outcome is a novel agent in this clinical environment that can increase oral bioavailability and simultaneously enhance drug activity.

Potential Application of Transdermal Medication Administration Using Insulin Patch Technology to Treat Diabetic Mellitus

Hemkanti Patel, Harshalata Kanwar

This study explores transdermal insulin patch technology as a possible alternative to conventional subcutaneous insulin injections in managing diabetes mellitus. A quasi-experimental design was utilized in this study, comparing the efficacy, safety, patient satisfaction, and adherence of insulin patches with subcutaneous insulin injections. A total of 150 adults, 75 in each group, with a medical diagnosis of either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus, were recruited from diabetes management clinics. Glycemic parameters were measured pre- and post-intervention for six months on both groups, including HbA1c and glucose levels while fasting. Results indicated that both the treatment groups revealed significant reductions in HbA1c and fasting glucose. The insulin patch group had an even more pronounced reduction in HbA1c and glucose levels. The insulin patch was well-tolerated, with only 12% of participants experiencing mild skin irritation. Patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the experimental group, with 88% rating the insulin patch as "very convenient" compared to 46% in the control group.

Transdermal Use of Curcumin Nanoemulsion: Preparation and Assessment

Neha Mandle, Shahbaz Rathor

Curcuma longa is the natural source of curcumin, a potent polyphenolic molecule with anti- inflammatory,  antioxidant,  and  anticancer  effects.  However,  its  clinical  use  is  severely hampered due to rapid metabolism and low oral bioavailability. Therefore, this research aims to  formulate  a  curcumin  nanoemulsion  that  is  stabilised  with  improved  solubility,  skin penetration, and stability. For this purpose, the nanoemulsion formulation was optimized for stability,  encapsulation  efficiency,  and  particle  size.  The  study  also  evaluates  its  anti- inflammatory  properties,  release  kinetics,  and  skin  penetration. The  results  obtained  were encapsulation efficiency of 85.6 ± 4.3%, zeta potential of -28.4 ± 3.1 mV, and particle size of128.5 ± 6.7 nm. The release kinetics of two formulations followed first-order kinetics, while the  third  formulation  followed  zero-order  kinetics.  The  therapeutic  potency  of  curcumin nanoemulsion in reducing inflammation was validated by substantial reductions in levels of inflammatory biomarkers TNF-α, 38.4%, and IL-6, 42.1% observed in the ex vivo analysis.

Formulation and Evaluation of Biodegradable, Glucose-Responsive Microneedle Patch for Insulin Delivery inType 1 Diabetes Treatment

Lukeshwari Sahu, Sandhya

This study represents glucose-responsive insulin delivery by a microneedle patch for improved treatment of T1D. In direct response to increased blood glucose levels, insulin is released from the biodegradable glucose-responsive polymers comprising the patch. Results from the in-vitro experiment on synthetic skin models proved very effective; dose-dependent insulin release was measured, with a maximum of up to 90% after 6 hours at 250 mg/dL glucose. In-vivo tests on diabetic rats showed that it reduced blood glucose levels by 50%, which is far better than conventional insulin delivery modes. Histological studies showed no evidence of skin damage. This microneedle patch may provide a more effective and user-friendly alternative to insulin delivery systems.
