"Optimizing Pharmaceutical Formulations: Advancements in Nanosuspension Pre-Formulation to Enhance Solubility and Bioavailability of Active Agents"
Authors: Bhosale Pramod Motiram , Singh Manmeet
Published: March 2024

This study aimed to enhance the bioavailability of a poorly water soluble drug by developing a nanosuspension through an innovative formulation method. The nanosuspension was produced with meticulous attention to the materials reliability and excellent quality. Nepafenac was characterised in the pre-formulation study by establishing its melting point, solubility in different solvents, organoleptic properties, and creating a calibration curve. We utilised UV spectroscopy to determine the maximum wavelength (?max) of Nepafenac and construct a standard calibration curve in ethanol. To ensure the compatibility of the medicine with the polymers (Pluronic F127 and HPMC E 5), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was utilised for drug interaction analysis. The nanosuspension was produced using the solvent diffusion approach. The effect of different concentrations of Poloxamer 407 and HPMC E 5 on the formulation's effectiveness was investigated experimentally using a 32 complete factorial design. We used Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and statistical analysis to enhance the formulation concerning in vitro release, particle size, and viscosity. The pre-formulation characteristics of Nepafenac met the standards outlined in the Pharmacopoeial regulations. The maximum absorption wavelength (?max) of Nepafenac was confirmed by UV spectroscopy, and a reliable calibration curve was created. The FTIR analysis showed no chemical interaction between the medicine and polymers. RSM and experimental design indicated that Poloxamer 407 and HPMC E 5 had a substantial impact on the performance of the nanosuspension. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) confirmed the model and parameters that influence controlled drug release percentage, particle size, and viscosity. Optimal conditions for enhancing drug delivery and reducing particle size were determined by the analysis of contour and response surface plots. The optimal parameter values, as indicated in the desirability plots, closely matched the anticipated values. The experimentation confirmed the viability and effectiveness of the nanosuspension formulation generated based on the RSM findings.

Published: March 2024

We report a case of exposure to Coxiella burnetii in a surgical nurse who underwent an injury of her finger with a scalpel blade during a native aortic valve replacement with a bio-prosthetic cardiac valve conducted on a patient suffering from C. burnetii aortic endocarditis. Given the positivity of C. burnetii culture and PCR from the patient's aortic valve, she was prescribed prophylactic doxycycline 100 mg twice a day for 10 days. Q fever is an occupational zoonosis resulting usually of exposure to infected animals by inhalation of infected aerosols or consumption of contaminated raw milk. Apart from materno-foetal transmission, about 180 cases of human-to-human C. burnetii transmission have been published from 1949 to today, including transmission by blood transfusion, sexual relations, transmission in the healthcare setting to staff, patient attendants and other patients that were likely infected from inhalation of aerosol from respiratory or placental products, transmission to staff during autopsies of patients with Q fever and transmission in familial settings. As C. burnetii is a highly infectious bacterium, that may cause infection with a low inoculum, it should be added to the list of organisms which may be of concern following blood exposure among healthcare professionals.

Published: March 2024

Background: Photoaging is a type of aging primarily caused by exposure to radiation, such as Ultraviolet B (UVB). This radiation penetrates the upper epidermis and papillary dermis leading to sunburn, tanning, photoaging, and photocarcinogenesis. Its light is a significant cause of direct deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage. Furthermore, it induces transcription factors, such as NF- and other pro-inflammatory cytokines, the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), and generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore, this study aimed to determine the differences in the histologic features of the photoaged animal models.
Methods: There were three groups, including P1, P2, and P3. Group P1 consists of male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus), aged 10-12 weeks, with average body weight between 100-150 grams. Group P2 consists of C57BL aged 5-6 weeks with an average weight of 50-75 grams. P3 comprises BABL/c mice aged 5-6 weeks with an average weight of 50-75 grams. They were photoaged for 6 weeks using UV lamps (Ultraviolet B Broadband TL lamps. Phillips TL 20W/01 RS) with a 290-315 nm wavelength.
Results: The results showed a significant difference in epidermal thickness, dermal thickness, and sunburn cell (SBC) between groups after exposure to UVB radiation (p<0.05). Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in their blood vessels (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The exposure to UVB for six weeks affects epidermal and dermal thickness, amount of SBC, and blood vessels in the photoaged animal model.

Introduction: Isolation of α-mangostin (α-MG) from the rind extract of Garcinia mangostana L. showed antioxidant, anticancer, antidiabetic, and cytotoxic activities. The effectivity of a-mangosteen isolate compounds on hepatoprotective bioactivity in diabetic conditions has not been found. This study aimed to characterize α-MG isolate and evaluate its hepatoprotective activity in diabetic rats.
Methods: This research was a post-test-only control group design. This study used 36 rats which were divided into 6 groups, namely positive control group, negative control group, standard drug group, and treatment group with α-MG dose of 10 mg/kg body weight, 30 mg/kg body weight, and 50 mg/kg body weight. Hepatoprotective evaluation parameters examined included levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin and liver histopathology observations. Test the effect on the study using the One-Way ANOVA test.
Results: The results showed that a-mangosteen compound has a significant effect on levels of AST (p-value<0.05), ALT (p-value<0.05), ALP (p-value<0.05), and total bilirubin (p-value<0, 05), but there were no necrotic cells on the histopathological observation of the liver.
Conclusion: α-mangostin isolate from Garcinia mangostana L. has the potential as hepatoprotective in diabetic rats.

Introduction: One of the leading factors of exclusive breastfeeding success in motherhood is self-leadership. Previous studies found that the role of external factors also has an impact on exclusive breastfeeding. Yet, until this day the level of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia and worldwide has not achieved its goal. The aim of this study was to analyze the factors that influence the self-leadership of breastfeeding mothers in exclusive breastfeeding.
Methods: The analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in this study. The population was all breastfeeding mothers who had babies aged 7-12 months. This study used simple random sampling which required 125 respondents. The independent variables are knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, and social support. The dependent variable is self-leadership. Data analysis used a logistic regression test to find out which variable had the most influence with a p-value < 0.05.
Results: The multivariate analysis revealed a significant influence between knowledge on self-leadership (p=0.001), attitudes (p=0.005), self-efficacy (p=0.013), and social support (p=0.000). While the results of multivariate analysis showed that the most influential on breastfeeding mothers’ self-leadership was social support.
Conclusion: There is a significant association between knowledge of self-leadership, attitudes, self-efficacy, and social support.

Background: Food is an essential thing in human activities. Therefore, it is said that agricultural sectors have a crucial role in human life. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of the agricultural sector in the national economy of Indonesia.
Method: The data used in this study are Indonesian input-output (IO) tables in 1990, 1995, and 2005. The analytical instrument of this research is IO analysis. This study uses more specific parts of the IO analysis such as simple household income multiplication, simple output multiplication, sensitivity distribution index, and power distribution index as analysis tools. The analysis of this research has a period of 1990-2005. In this study, the analyzed sectors are (1) paddy, (2) maize, (3) cassava, (4) other rootlcrops, including sweet potatoes, (5) groundnut, (6) soybeans, (7) other beans, (8) vegetables, (9) fruits, (10) cereals and other food crops, (11) rubber, (12) sugarcane, (13) coconut, (14) oil palm, (15) fibrelcrops, (16) tobacco, (17) coffee, (18) tea, (19) clove, (20) otherlestatelcrops, and (21) otherlagriculture. The first step of the methodology of this study is to describe the data, while the final step is to explain the study's conclusions and suggested further research.
Results: The results show that, by using a simple output multiplier, the analyzed sectors did not include the top five Indonesian industries from 1990 through 2005. Conversely, one of the analyzed sectors, rubber, was admitted in the top five Indonesian industries in the period of the analysis from the point of view of another multiplier. Using both indices, almost all analyzed industries were consistent in the quadrant from 1990 through 2005.
Conclusion: Indonesian government shall prioritize the rubber sector for the next economic development plans.

Background: Laboratory tests are integral to the medical decision-making process. Blood vacuum tubes need to be validated to increase the analytics quality. This study aimed to compare various vacuum tube brands that use serum clot activator and serum separator tube (SST) for clinical chemistry and hormonal parameters, K3EDTA anticoagulant for hematological parameters, and citrate for hemostasis parameters.
Methods: The comparative study was carried out cross-sectional in the Department of Clinical Pathology, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National Public Hospital, on June 20, 2020. There were 20 subjects for each type of tube. The control tube was BD Vacutainer®, and the test tubes were Samplix®, VACUETTE®, Vacusera®, and YCHD.
Results: Underfilling was the most common problem in preanalytical observation. This problem for citrate tubes was most frequently found in Vacusera® tubes. The possible cause of underfilling is the expiration date, which was close to the date of the experiment. There was a significant difference in PT results (p <0.0001) in the Vacusera® citrate tube. All tube brands had no significant differences in all clinical chemistry, hormonal, and hematological parameters (P>0.05). After 24 hours at room temperature, the results of hematological parameters showed statistically significant differences in MCV and hematocrit parameters, while other parameters were still within the CV limit of the instrument.
Conclusion: There were no significant differences in the results of clinical chemistry, hormonal, and hematological parameters for all tube brands. A hematology parameters test should be done immediately as the delay may affect the MCV and hematocrit parameters.

Background: perforated peptic ulcer is still a challenge for surgeons and requires a strategy to provide a good outcome. Currently, research on protective biomaterials still has limitations. Free peritoneal patch has growth factors, is antimicrobial, and increases angiogenesis and progenitor properties, which is useful for wound healing. This study examines the healing of primary gastric suturing with peritoneal patches in peritonitis conditions by measuring bursting pressure.
Methods: Researchers conducted an experimental study using 30 New Zealand White Rabbits induced by fecal peritonitis. An artificial perforation with a diameter of 1 cm in the gastric corpus was performed, and primary suturing was performed using 5/0 silk thread with 2 simple sutures. In the treatment group, a free peritoneal patch was added. The bursting pressure examination was carried out on the 7th postoperative day.
Results: Changes in the body weight of the rabbits before and after surgery reflecting the nutritional status of the sample did not significantly affect the value of bursting pressure (p>0.05). Meanwhile, the value of bursting pressure in the primary gastric suturing group with a free peritoneal patch was significantly higher than in the primary gastric suturing group without adding a free peritoneal patch (p<0.05).
Conclusion: A free peritoneal patch can be used as a biological dressing to prevent leakage in gastric primary suturing in conditions of peritonitis, as shown by higher bursting pressure values.

Background: Kidney stone disease is a significant global health issue that imposes a substantial burden on both patients and healthcare systems which affects 5-10% of the general population. There are several factors involved in its pathogenesis including insufficient dietary habits and fluid intake. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare between dietary intake across populations and recurrent urinary tract stones. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare the associations between dietary intake across populations and recurrent kidney stones.
Methods: Systematic search up to March 2023 were conducted through PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE. The systematic review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Means and standard deviation of the nutrient intakes were extracted in patients with urinary stone disease group and control group.
Results: Seven articles were further assessed with two articles were assessed through meta-analysis. Two studies showed that high sodium intake [SMD = 0.29 95% CI = -0.13, 0,71] was found in patient with urinary stone disease, while high water intake [SMD = -0.40 95% CI = -1.14, 0.34] was found in the control group.
Conclusion: Animal protein, processed meat, sodium, and sugary beverages were associated with an increased risk of developing urinary stones, whereas vegetable protein and water intake were associated with a decreased risk.
