RESUMEN
In this study, the solubilities of Regorafenib monohydrate (REG), a widely used as a colorectal anticancer drug, in supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2) were measured under various pressures and temperature conditions, for the first time. The minimum value of REG in mole fraction was determined to be 3.06×10-7, while the maximum value was found to be 6.44×10-6 at 338 K and 27 MPa. The experimental data for REG were correlated through the utilization of two types of models: (1) a set of 25 existing empirical and semi-empirical models that incorporated 3-8 parameters according to functional dependencies, (2) a model that relied on solid-liquid equilibrium (SLE) and the newly improved association models. All of the evaluated models were capable of generating suitable fits to the solubility data of REG, however, the average absolute relative deviation (AARD) of Gordillo et al. model (AARD=13.2%) and Reddy et al. model (AARD=13.5%) indicated their superiority based on AARD%. Furthermore, solvation and sublimation enthalpies of REG drug were estimated for the first time.
RESUMEN
In this study, the solubilities of codeine phosphate, a widely used pain reliever, in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) were measured under various pressures and temperature conditions. The lowest determined mole fraction of codeine phosphate in SC-CO2 was 1.297 × 10-5 at 308 K and 12 MPa, while the highest was 6.502 × 10-5 at 338 K and 27 MPa. These measured solubilities were then modeled using the equation of state model, specifically the Peng-Robinson model. A selection of density models, including the Chrastil model, Mendez-Santiago and Teja model, Bartle et al. model, Sodeifian et al. model, and Reddy-Garlapati model, were also employed. Additionally, three forms of solid-liquid equilibrium models, commonly called expanded liquid models (ELMs), were used. The average solvation enthalpy associated with the solubility of codeine phosphate in SC-CO2 was calculated to be - 16.97 kJ/mol. The three forms of the ELMs provided a satisfactory correlation to the solubility data, with the corresponding average absolute relative deviation percent (AARD%) under 12.63%. The most accurate ELM model recorded AARD% and AICc values of 8.89% and - 589.79, respectively.

In this investigation, a polymeric fusion of chitosan (CS) and thermosensitive poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide) - PNIPAAm - encapsulated a magnetotocosome, biocompatible nanocarrier. This encapsulation strategy demonstrated improved drug entrapment efficiency, achieving up to 98.8 %. Additionally, it exhibited extended stability, optimal particle dimensions, and the potential for industrial scaling, thus facilitating controlled drug delivery of sorafenib tosylate to cancerous tissue. Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) techniques were employed to synthesize PNIPAAm. The effects of polymer molecular weight and polydispersity index on the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) were evaluated. The resulting polymeric amalgamation, involving the thermosensitive PNIPAAm synthesized using RAFT techniques and CS that coated the magnetotocosome (CS-Raft PNIPAAm-magnetotocosome) with an LCST approximately at 45 °C, holds the potential to enhance drug bioavailability and enable applications in hyperthermia treatment, controlled release, and targeted drug delivery.

A supercritical fluid, such as supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) is increasingly used for the micronization of pharmaceuticals in the recent past. The role of scCO2 as a green solvent in supercritical fluid (SCF) process is decided by the solubility information of the pharmaceutical compound in scCO2. The commonly used SCF processes are the rapid expansion of supercritical solution (RESS) and supercritical antisolvent precipitation (SAS). To implement micronization process, solubility of pharmaceuticals in scCO2 is required. Present study is aimed at both measuring and modeling of solubilities of hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQS) in scCO2. Experiments were conducted at various conditions (P = 12 to 27 MPa and T = 308 to 338 K), for the first time. The measured solubilities were found to be ranging between (0.0304 × 10-4 and 0.1459 × 10-4) at 308 K, (0.0627 × 10-4 and 0.3158 × 10-4) at 318 K, (0.0982 × 10-4 and 0.4351 × 10-4) at 328 K, (0.1398 × 10-4 and 0.5515 × 10-4) at 338 K. To expand the usage of the data, various models were tested. For the modelling task existing models (Chrastil, reformulated Chrastil, Méndez-Santiago and Teja (MST), Bartle et al., Reddy-Garlapati, Sodeifian et al., models) and new set of solvate complex models were considered. Among the all models investigated Reddy-Garlapati and new solvate complex models are able to fit the data with the least error. Finally, the total and solvation enthalpies of HCQS in scCO2 were calculated with the help of model constants obtained from Chrastil, reformulated Chrastil and Bartle et al., models.
RESUMEN
Palbociclib is a poorly water-soluble medicine which acts against metastatic breast cancer cells. Among various techniques to improve the solubility of this medicine, applying supercritical technologies to produce micro- and nano-sized particles is a possible option. For this purpose, extraction of solubility data is required. In this research, the solubility of palbociclib in supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2) at different equilibrium conditions was measured at temperatures between 308 and 338 K and pressures within 12-27 MPa, for the first time. The minimum and maximum solubility data were found to be 8.1 × 10-7 (at 338 K and 12 MPa) and 2.03 × 10-5 (at 338 K and 27 MPa), respectively. Thereafter, two sets of models, including ten semi-empirical equations and three Peng-Robinson (PR) based integrated models were used to correlate the experimental solubility data. Bian's model and PR equation of state using van der Waals mixing rules (PR + vdW) showed better accuracy among the examined semi-empirical and integrated models, respectively. Furthermore, the self-consistency of the obtained data was confirmed using two distinct semi-empirical models. At last, the total and vaporization enthalpies of palbociclib solubility in ScCO2 were calculated from correlation results of semi-empirical equations and estimated to be 40.41 and 52.67 kJ/mol, respectively.
RESUMEN
Measurement of saturation solubility of drugs in a supercritical fluid is an important parameter for the implementation of supercritical technology in pharmaceutical industry. CO2 is the most sorted substance as a supercritical fluid since it has attractive properties like easily achievable critical temperature, moderate pressure. Cancer is increasingly affecting the mankind, a proper dosage while treating would help in minimizing the drug usage. The bioavailability of the drug is mainly influenced by the drug particle size. An appropriate technology is always useful in making suitable drug particles; thus, supercritical fluid technology (SFT) is considered as promising technique for the production of micro and nanoparticles. Since, particle production process through SFT needs solubility information, appropriate solubility information is necessary. In the present work, Crizotinib (anti-cancer drug) solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) is measured and reported, for the first time. The obtained solubilities are at temperatures 308, 318, 328,338 K and pressures 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 to 27 MPa. The measured solubilities are ranged in terms of mole fraction from (0.483 × 10-5 to 0.791 × 10-5) at 308 K, (0.315 × 10-5 to 0.958 × 10-5) at 318 K, (0.26 × 10-5 to 1.057 × 10-5) at 328 K, (0.156 × 10-5 to 1.219 × 10-5) at 338 K. The cross over region is observed at 14.5 MPa. To expand the application of the solubility data, few important solubility models and three cubic equations of sate (cubic EoS) models along with Kwak and Mansoori mixing rules are investigated. Sublimation and salvation enthalpies of Crizotinib dissolution in scCO2 are calculated.

In this study, cyclic poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (cPNIPAAM) was synthesized in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) using emulsion and homogeneous reactions for the first time. This was accomplished by applying free radical polymerization and nitroxide compounds to produce low molecular weight precursors in the SC-CO2 solvent. The cyclization reaction occurred in a homogeneous phase in the SC-CO2 solvent, with dimethylformamide (DMF) serving as a co-solvent for dissolving the linear precursor. This reaction was also conducted in emulsion of SC-CO2 in water. The effects of pressure and time on the morphology, molecular weight, and yield of a difunctionalized chain were investigated, where a higher pressure led to a higher yield. The maximum yield was 64% at 23 MPa, and the chain molecular weight (Mw) was 4368 (gr/mol). Additionally, a lower pressure reduced the solubility of materials (particularly terminator) in SC-CO2 and resulted in a chain with a higher molecular weight 9326 (gr/mol), leading to a lower conversion. Furthermore, the effect of cyclization reaction types on the properties of cyclic polymers was investigated. In cyclic reactions, the addition of DMF as a co-solvent resulted in the formation of a polymer with a high viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) and a high degree of cyclization (100%), whereas the CO2/water emulsion resulted in the formation of a polymer with a lower Mv and increased porosity. Polymers were characterized by 1HNMR, FTIR, DSC, TLC, GPC, and viscometry tests. The results were presented and thoroughly discussed.
RESUMEN
The solubility of empagliflozin in supercritical carbon dioxide was measured at temperatures (308 to 338 K) and pressures (12 to 27 MPa), for the first time. The measured solubility in terms of mole faction ranged from 5.14 × 10-6 to 25.9 × 10-6. The cross over region was observed at 16.5 MPa. A new solubility model was derived to correlate the solubility data using solid-liquid equilibrium criteria combined with Wilson activity coefficient model at infinite dilution for the activity coefficient. The proposed model correlated the data with average absolute relative deviation (AARD) and Akaike's information criterion (AICc), 7.22% and - 637.24, respectively. Further, the measured data was also correlated with 11 existing (three, five and six parameters empirical and semi-empirical) models and also with Redlich-Kwong equation of state (RKEoS) along with Kwak-Mansoori mixing rules (KMmr) model. Among density-based models, Bian et al., model was the best and corresponding AARD% was calculated 5.1. The RKEoS + KMmr was observed to correlate the data with 8.07% (correspond AICc is - 635.79). Finally, total, sublimation and solvation enthalpies of empagliflozin were calculated.

Knowing the solubility data of pharmaceutical compounds in supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2) is essential for nanoparticles formation by using supercritical technology. In this work, solubility of solid pantoprazole sodium sesquihydrate in ScCO2 is determined and reported at 308, 318, 328 and 338 K and at pressures between 12 and 27 MPa. The solubilities are ranged between 0.0301 [Formula: see text] 10-4 and 0.463 [Formula: see text] 10-4 in mole fraction. The determined solubilities are modelled with a new model using solid-liquid equilibrium criteria and the required activity coefficient is developed using regular solution theory. The measured solubilities data are also modelled with three recent and four conventional empirical models. The recent models used are, Alwi-Garlapati (AARD = 13.1%), Sodeifian et al. (14.7%), and Tippana-Garlapati (15.5%) models and the conventional models used are Chrastil (17.54%), reformulated Chrastil (16.30%), Bartle (14.1%) and Mendenz Santiago and Teja (MT) (14.9%) models. The proposed model is correlating the data with less than 14.9% and 16.23% in terms of AARD for temperature dependent and independent cases. Among exiting models, Mendez Santiago and Teja (MT) and Alwi-Garlapati models correlate the data better than other models (corresponding AARD% and AICc are 14.9, 13.1 and -518.89, -504.14, respectively). The correlation effectiveness of the models is evaluated in terms of Corrected Akaike's Information Criterion (AICc). Finally, enthalpy of solvation and vaporization of pantoprazole sodium sesquihydrate are calculated and reported. The new model proposed in this study can be used for the combination of any complex compound with any supercritical fluid.

In this study, for the first time, the coated tocosome by blend of chitosan, CS, and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAAm, was developed as the efficient and robust drug delivery system with improved drug encapsulation efficiency, extended stability, proper particle size and industrial upscaling for Sunitinib malate anti-cancer drug. Tocosome was synthesized by using Mozafari method as a scalable and robust method and without the need for organic solvents. The effects of tocosome composition and drug concentration on the stability, particle size of tocosome, zeta potential, encapsulation efficacy and loading of drug into it were investigated by Taguchi method, and optimum composition was selected for combining with the polymeric blend. Homopolymer of PNIPAAm was synthesized by two different polymerization methods, including free radical and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT). Effects of molecular weight (MW) and chain length of the polymers on lower critical solution temperature (LCST) were examined. The developed nanocarrier in this research, CS-Raft-PNIPAAm-tocosome, indicated LCST value beyond 37°C (about 45°C) and this is suitable for hyperthermia and spatio-temporal release of drug particles.

RESUMEN
One of the main steps in choosing the drug nanoparticle production processes by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) is determining the solubility of the solid solute. For this purpose, the solubility of Ketoconazole (KTZ) in the SC-CO2, binary system, as well as in the SC-CO2-menthol (cosolvent), ternary system, was measured at 308-338 K and 12-30 MPa using the static analysis method. The KTZ solubility in the SC-CO2 ranged between 0.20 × 10-6 and 8.02 × 10-5, while drug solubility in the SC-CO2 with cosolvent varied from 1.2 × 10-5 to 1.96 × 10-4. This difference indicated the significant effect of menthol cosolvent on KTZ solubility in the SC-CO2. Moreover, KTZ solubilities in the two systems were correlated by several empirical and semiempirical models. Among them, Sodeifian et al., Bian et al., MST, and Bartle et al. models can more accurately correlate experimental data for the binary system than other used models. Also, the Sodeifian and Sajadian model well fitted the solubility data of the ternary system with AARD% = 6.45, Radj = 0.995.
RESUMEN
Phthalocyanine green nano pigment was prepared using supercritical gas antisolvent (GAS) process based on the SC-CO2 method. Thermodynamic models were developed to study the volume expansion and operating conditions of the GAS process. Peng-Robinson EoS were applied for binary (CO2 and DMSO) and ternary (CO2, DMSO, and pigment) systems. A Box-Behnken experimental design was used to optimize the process. Influences of temperature (308, 318 and 328 K), pressure (10, 15 and 20 MPa) and solute concentration (10, 40 and 70 mg/mL) were studied on the particles size and their morphology. The fine particles produced were characterized by SEM, DLS, XRD, FTIR and DSC. Experimental results showed a great reduction in size of pigment particles in comparison to the original particles. The mean particle sizes of nanoparticles were obtained to 27.1 nm after GAS based on SC-CO2 method.
RESUMEN
In this research, for the first time, molecular dynamics (MD) method was used to simulate aspirin and ibuprofen at various concentrations and in neutral and charged states. Effects of the concentration (dosage), charge state, and existence of an integral protein in the membrane on the diffusion rate of drug molecules into lipid bilayer membrane were investigated on 11 systems, for which the parameters indicating diffusion rate and those affecting the rate were evaluated. Considering the diffusion rate, a suitable score was assigned to each system, based on which, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed. By calculating the effect size of the indicative parameters and total scores, an optimum system with the highest diffusion rate was determined. Consequently, diffusion rate controlling parameters were obtained: the drug-water hydrogen bond in protein-free systems and protein-drug hydrogen bond in the systems containing protein.

Extraction of oil from Dracocephalum kotschyi Boiss seeds using supercritical carbon dioxide was designed using central composite design to evaluate the effect of various operating parameters including pressure, temperature, particle size and extraction time on the oil yield. Maximum extraction yield predicted from response surface method was 71.53% under the process conditions with pressure of 220 bar, temperature of 35 °C, particle diameter of 0.61 mm and extraction time of 130 min. Furthermore, broken and intact cells model was utilised to consider mass transfer kinetics of extracted natural materials. The results revealed that the model had a good agreement with the experimental data. The oil samples obtained via supercritical and solvent extraction methods were analysed by gas chromatography. The most abundant acid was linolenic acid. The results analysis showed that there was no significant difference between the fatty acid contents of the oils obtained by the supercritical and solvent extraction techniques.
