        Evaluation of epithelial transport and oxidative stress protection of nanoengineered curcumin derivative-cyclodextrin formulation for ocular delivery

        Pooja Maharjan,Minki Jin,Daseul Kim,JaeWook Yang,Anjila Maharjan,Meong Cheol Shin,Kwan Hyung Cho,김만수,Kyoung Ah Min 대한약학회 2019 Archives of Pharmacal Research Vol.42 No.10

        Ocular drug delivery has been a well-knownroute for the drug administration for the treatment of oculardiseases. However, numerous anatomical and physiologicalbarriers prevailing in the eye itself create considerablechallenges for achieving the necessitated therapeutic efficacyalong with ocular bioavailability. However, recentadvances in nanoengineered strategies hold definite promisesin terms of devising improved ophthalmic medicinesfor the effective drug delivery to target the sites withenhanced ocular bioavailability. Curcumin, a hydrophobicpolyphenol yellow colored compound, and its metabolicreduced product, tetrahydrocurcumin (THC), have beenknown for their beneficial pharmacological functions, suchas anti-inflammatory or anti-oxidant activities at varioustissue sites. However, the low aqueous solubility of thesecompounds results in their poor bioavailability, therebylimiting their widespread application. Therefore, in thepresent study, we investigated the changes in drug solubilityby forming inclusion complexes with differentderivatives of hydroxypropyl (HP)-cyclodextrins (CD). To this end, the spray drying technique was used for nanoengineeringcurcumin or THC-loaded formulations toimprove the stability of formulations during the storage. The formulations were characterized in terms of physicochemicalproperties and cellular permeability. The resultsdemonstrated that the encapsulation of curcumin (or THC)into the HP-CDs significantly increased the drug solubilityand enhanced the corneal and retinal epithelial permeability. Curcumin or THC complexes in HP-CDs withimproved bioavailability also induced anti-oxidant activity(SOD1, CAT1, and HMOX1) in higher levels in the ocularepithelial cells and showed oxidative protection effects inrabbit cornea tissues that will boost up their application inocular medicine.

      • Biochemical Changes in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): A Study in Nepalese Population

        ( Puspa Khanal ),( Pooja Maharjan ),( Dipendra Raj Pandeya ) 대한간학회 2016 춘·추계 학술대회 (KASL) Vol.2016 No.1

        Aims: The present study was conducted with the aim to assess the biochemical markers in Non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients in Nepalese population. Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as the most common liver problem in the western world and is a clinicopathologic entity increasingly recognized as a major health burden in developed countries. Different laboratory tests are extremely useful in achieving a better understanding of diseases, and thereby, allow making decision for better management. The examination of different biochemical parameters usually provides excellent clues to the cause of the disease. Methods: The biochemical parameters were investigated in 75 NAFLD patients, and 70 normal participants. The diagnosis of hepatic steatosis was established by abdominal ultrasound examination. All patients diagnosed as NAFLD were investigated for biochemical parameters and see the relationship between NAFLD and control was studied. Results: The findings of all biochemical parameters were raised in NAFLD patients in comparison with non-fatty liver control group and the differences were found to be statistically (P value less than 0.005) significant. Conclusions: NAFLD is associated with changes in biochemical parameters in cases of NAFLD. Its early detection will help in modifying the disease course, delaying complications and will also play a major role in preventive cardiology.

        Pharmaceutical challenges and perspectives in developing ophthalmic drug formulations

        Kyoung Ah Min,Pooja Maharjan,조관형,Anjila Maharjan,Meong Cheol Shin,Cheol Moon 한국약제학회 2019 Journal of Pharmaceutical Investigation Vol.49 No.2

        Ocular drug delivery has been widely recognized as an attractive route for drug administration for cures of ocular diseases. Overall, designing an effective therapy to cure ocular diseases has been considered as a formidable task. Even though some infectious or inflammatory eye diseases could be alleviated by eye drops or ointments, achieving the required therapeutic efficacy along with ocular bioavailability remains a challenge due to the numerous anatomical and physiological barriers prevailing in the eye. Drug delivery to the posterior segment of the eye is yet a more challenging task. In this context, a better understanding of physiologic natures of the eyes and ocular pharmacokinetics would facilitate the development of new drug delivery systems to treat various vision-threatening disorders. For the effective drug delivery to target sites and to enhance the ocular bioavailability, recent progress in formulation strategies using nanotechnologies holds promises in terms of devising improved ophthalmic medicines. Hence, this review presents an overview of various aspects of ocular drug delivery, with a specific emphasis on nanocarrier-based strategies, including physiological barriers in eyes and conventional drug formulations. Recent research on sustained, controlled, and targeted systems for ocular drug delivery was updated as well.

      • Orlistat-loaded solid SNEDDS for the enhanced solubility, dissolution, and in vivo performance

        Kim, Dae Hun,Kim, Jae Yeol,Kim, Rae Man,Maharjan, Pooja,Ji, Yu-Geun,Jang, Dong-Jin,Min, Kyoung Ah,Koo, Tae-Sung,Cho, Kwan Hyung Dove Medical Press 2018 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NANOMEDICINE Vol.13 No.-

        <P><B>Background</B></P><P>The present study aimed to develop orlistat-loaded solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system preconcentrate (SSP) with the minimum use of lipid excipients for the enhanced solubility, in vitro dissolution, lipase inhibition, and in vivo performance.</P><P><B>Materials and methods</B></P><P>In the screening of solubilizing vehicles, Solutol HS15 and Lauroglycol 90 were selected as the surfactant and oil phase, respectively. A pseudo-ternary phase diagram composed of Solutol HS15, Lauroglycol 90, and orlistat as an anti-obesity agent and lipid component was constructed, and the SSP regions were confirmed in terms of the particle size distribution in water, melting point by differential scanning calorimetry, and crystallinity by X-ray diffraction.</P><P><B>Results</B></P><P>Physicochemical interaction between Solutol HS15 and orlistat resulted in SSP with various melting points in the range of 26°~33°C. The representative maximum orlistat-loaded SSP (orlistat/Solutol HS15/Lauroglycol 90=55/40/5, weight ratio) showed the melting point of 32.23°C and constructed uniform nanoemulsion with the particle size of 141.7±1.1 nm dispersed in water. In the dissolution test at pH 1.2 without any detergent, the SSP reached 98.12%±0.83% until 45 minutes, whereas raw orlistat showed no significant dissolution rate. The dissolution samples containing SSP showed a lipase inhibition of 90.42%±1.58% within 45 minutes. In terms of the reduction level of fat absorption in rats, the intake group of SSP gave a significantly higher fat excretion into stool than the one observed in the raw orlistat group (<I>P</I><0.05).</P><P><B>Conclusion</B></P><P>In conclusion, the suggested novel SSP formulation would be an effective and promising candidate for the treatment of obesity.</P>
