Summary: This study aimed to enhance the permeation of Hydroxyzine HCL through intact skin using solid lipid nanoparticles transdermal gel, while assessing its antihistaminic activity and systemic absorption. Eight formulations were prepared and the optimized formula was incorporated into the gel, showing potent antipruritic efficacy in atopic dermatitis induced lesions in mice. This suggests that HHCL solid lipid nanoparticles transdermal gel could be a potential alternative to traditional oral use for the delivery of HHCL.

Summary: Although SLNs and NLCs have been used as drug delivery systems, they have been less investigated as food-grade nanovehicles for nutraceuticals. This review comprehensively explores the development and utilization of food-grade SLNs and NLCs as nanosized delivery systems. It discusses issues such as incorporation and release of bioactives, oxidative stability, lipid digestion and absorption, intestinal transport, and encapsulation and delivery of nutraceuticals. The review also highlights the performance of these nanoparticles in improving stability, bioavailability, and bioactivities of curcuminoids.

Summary: The study investigated the use of lyophilized nasal inserts of nanosized atomoxetine HCl solid lipid nanoparticles (ATM-SLNs) to directly deliver atomoxetine to the brain. A full factorial design was used to optimize the formulation of the ATM-SLNs, and Design Expert software was used to select the optimal formulations. The two optimum formulations were then evaluated for their physicochemical properties and compared to atomoxetine oral solution and intraperitoneal injection.

Summary: This article presents a stepwise framework for nanoparticle production for disulfiram delivery. It involves analysis of drug in lipid solubility to select suitable liquid lipids, drug partitioning studies to determine solid lipids with increased capacity for solubilizing and entrapping disulfiram, and microscopic evaluation of physical compatibility between liquid and solid lipids to indicate promising core compositions. The impact of the outer surfactant layer on the colloidal properties of the nanosystems is evaluated using machine learning algorithms.

Summary: Our previous work demonstrated that beta-lactoglobulin-stabilized amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) loaded with 70 % indomethacin remains stable for over 12 months. We further investigated the stabilization mechanisms by testing five other drug molecules and using experimental techniques and molecular dynamics simulations. The results showed that steric confinement, hydrogen bonding, and the glass transition temperature of the drug molecule play important roles in stabilizing ASDs with high drug loadings.

Summary: The binding of drugs to plasma proteins, such as human serum albumin (HSA), is crucial for determining pharmacokinetic parameters. This study investigated the enantioselective binding of S- and R-ketamine to HSA. It was found that ketamine has weak affinity to HSA, with no significant differences in binding behavior between the individual enantiomers and the racemate. The aromatic ring and N-methyl group were identified as the most strongly involved structural moieties in the binding of ketamine to HSA.

Summary: Interleukins (ILs) are important for communication between immune cells and non-immune cells, but dysregulation of ILs expression is a characteristic of autoinflammatory diseases. Drugs targeting ILs have significant clinical benefits, but may also cause adverse reactions. Fusion protein technology, with its ability to enhance therapeutic efficacy, has been explored for developing anti-inflammatory drugs. This review discusses the efficacy of fusion protein drugs developed with ILs or their receptors in treating autoinflammatory diseases, highlighting the potential of this technology in future anti-inflammatory drug development.

Summary: This study investigated the correlation between the structure and release properties of solid lipid microparticles (MPs) with different liquid additives. The additives accelerated the conversion of the unstable alpha-form of tristearin to the stable beta-polymorph and caused structural modifications in the MPs. The presence of additives prolonged the drug release in water and resulted in higher release profiles in biorelevant media. The findings suggest that the release behavior can be influenced by the polymorphism and supramolecular-level structural modification of lipid formulations containing crystal modifiers.
