Positively charged self-emulsifying oil formulation for improving oral bioavailability of progesterone

Pharmaceutical Development and Technology
T Gershanik, Simon Benita

Abstract

A self-emulsifying oil formulation (SEOF) comprised of Tween 80, benzyl alcohol (BA), ethyl oleate (EO), and oleylamine (OA), able to produce positively charged submicron emulsions upon aqueous or buffer dilution, was developed and characterized. The positive charge of the formulation was attributed to the localization of the cationic lipid, OA, at the oil/water interface of the diluted SEOFs. Binary phase diagram analysis of the basic lipophilic system showed that the SEOF elicited progressive inverse phase behavior under continuous aqueous phase dilution. At infinite dilution fine submicron o/w emulsions were formed only when BA concentrations did not exceed 50% in the formulation. The self-emulsification process was not markedly affected by the variation in pH over the entire physiological range. The neurotoxic effects observed in acute toxicity studies with the concentrated emulsion containing 3% BA obtained from the dilution of the SEOF vehicle were attributed to the BA since a simple aqueous solution at the same BA dose caused similar adverse effects. However, no toxic effects were noticed when the dose administered was 30 times the potential dose that could probably be administered to humans. Comparative oral bioavailabi...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
