RESUMEN

Niclosamide (NCL) is repurposed to treat inflammatory bowel disease due to its anti-inflammatory properties and potential to reduce oxidative stress. This therapeutic activity remains challenging if administered directly due to its low solubility and high recrystallization tendency in gastric pH. Solid dispersions using pH-dependent polymer will be a better idea to improve the solubility, dissolution and targeted delivery at the colon. Hot melt extrusion was used to formulate a solid dispersion with 30% NCL utilising hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate as a pH-dependent polymer. In vitro drug release studies revealed formulation (F1) containing 10%w/w Tween 80 showed minimal release (2.06%) at the end of 2 h, followed by 47.87% and 82.15% drug release at 6 h and 14 h, respectively, indicating the maximum amount of drug release in the colon. The drug release from the formulations containing no plasticiser and 5%w/w plasticiser was comparable to the pure crystalline drug (approximately 25%). Solid-state analysis confirmed particle conversion of crystalline NCL to amorphous form, and the optimised formulation was stable for 6 months without significant changes in dissolution profile. In contrast to pure NCL, the F1 formulation substantially reduced the disease activity index, colonic inflammation, histological alterations and oxidative damage in colitis mice. These findings reveal that the prepared formulation can potentially deliver the drug locally at the colon, making it an effective tool in treating ulcerative colitis.

RESUMEN

The emerging drug resistance to the approved first-line drug therapy leads to clinical failure in cancer. Drug repurposing studies lead to the identification of many old drugs to be used for cancer treatment. Combining the repurposed drugs (niclosamide) with first-line therapy agents like erlotinib HCl showed improved efficacy by inhibiting erlotinib HCl acquired resistance. But there is a need to develop a sensitive, accurate, and excellent analytical method and drug delivery system for successfully delivering drug combinations. In the current study, an HPLC method was developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of niclosamide and erlotinib HCl. The retention time of niclosamide and erlotinib hydrochloride was 6.48 and 7.65 min at 333 nm. The developed method was rapid and sensitive to separating the two drugs with reasonable accuracy, precision, robustness, and ruggedness. A Plackett-Burman (PBD) screening design was used to identify the critical parameters affecting liposomal formulation development using particle size, size distribution, zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency as the response. Lipid concentration, drug concentration, hydration temperature, and media volume were critical parameters affecting the particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), ZP, and %EE of the liposomes. The optimized NCM-ERL liposomes showed the particle size (126.05 ± 2.1), PDI (0.498 ± 0.1), ZP (-16.2 ± 0.3), and %EE of NCM and ERL (50.04 ± 2.8 and 05.42 ± 1.3). In vitro release studies indicated the controlled release of the drugs loaded liposomes (87.06 ± 9.93% and 42.33 ± 0.89% in 24 h).
