RESUMO

Although colloidal carriers have been in the pipeline for nearly four decades, standardized methods for testing their drug-release properties remain to be established in pharmacopeias. The in vitro assessment of drug release from these colloidal carriers is one of the most important parameters in the development and quality control of drug-loaded nano- and microcarriers. This lack of standardized protocols occurs due to the difficulties encountered in separating the released drug from the encapsulated one. This review aims to compare the most frequent types of release testing methods (i.e., membrane diffusion techniques, sample and separate methods and in situ detection techniques) in terms of the advantages and disadvantages of each one and of the key parameters that influence drug release in each case.

RESUMO

Embolization with microspheres is a therapeutic strategy based on the selective occlusion of the blood vessels feeding a tumor. This procedure is intraarterially performed in the clinical setting for the treatment of liver cancer. The practice has evolved over the last decade through the incorporation of drug loading ability, biodegradability and imageability with the subsequent added functionality for the physicians and improved clinical outcomes for the patients. This review highlights the evolution of the embolization systems developed through the analysis of the marketed embolic microspheres for the treatment of malignant hepatocellular carcinoma, namely the most predominant form of liver cancer. Embolic microspheres for the distinct modalities of embolization (i.e., bland embolization, chemoembolization and radioembolization) are here comprehensively compiled with emphasis on material characteristics and their impact on microsphere performance. Moreover, the future application of the embolics under clinical investigation is discussed along with the scientific and regulatory challenges ahead in the field. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Embolization therapy with microspheres is currently used in the clinical setting for the treatment of most liver cancer conditions. The progressive development of added functionalities on embolic microspheres (such as biodegradability, imageability or drug and radiopharmaceutical loading capability) provides further benefit to patients and widens the therapeutic armamentarium for physicians towards truly personalized therapies. Therefore, it is important to analyze the possibilities that advanced biomaterials offer in the field from a clinical translational perspective to outline the future trends in therapeutic embolization.

RESUMO

El consumo de analgésicos opioides ha experimentado un vertiginoso ascenso en las últimas décadas a nivel mundial. Este elevado consumo está relacionado con el aumento del número de prescripciones de opioides para el tratamiento del dolor crónico y por el aumento de la dependencia a opioides. Los analgésicos opioides tienen una corta duración de acción, siendo necesarias múltiples administraciones para obtener analgesia prolongada. El empleo de formulaciones de liberación prolongada permite espaciar los intervalos posológicos y estabilizar las concentraciones máximas de fármaco en sangre, favoreciendo el cumplimiento terapéutico y reduciendo el riesgo de desarrollar adicción. Sin embargo, estas formulaciones llevan dosis más altas de analgésicos opioides que las hacen más susceptibles de ser alteradas. Así, los avances en tecnología farmacéutica más recientes se han orientado hacia la aplicación de recursos tecnológicos disuasorios de su utilización por vías de administración alternativas con fines no terapéuticos. A su vez, los sistemas de liberación modificada también juegan un papel esencial en el tratamiento de la adicción a opioides: con el desarrollo de sistemas de administración parenteral capaces de prolongar la liberación de opioides durante meses se consigue superar una de las mayores dificultades para alcanzar el éxito del tratamiento en este tipo de pacientes como es el cumplimiento terapéutico. En este artículo se realiza una revisión bibliográfica de los diferentes sistemas de liberación prolongada de opioides que se encuentran actualmente autorizados en Europa y/o en Estados Unidos para el tratamiento del dolor y de la dependencia a opioides.

The consumption of opioid analgesics has increased drastically in the last decades worldwide. This high consumption is linked with a surge in the number of opioid prescriptions for the treatment of chronic pain and a surge in opioid misuse and addiction. Opioid analgesics have a short duration of action, making necessary frequent administrations to provide extended analgesia. The use of prolonged-release formulations enables dosing intervals to be spaced out and drug blood levels to be stabilized, improving therapeutic compliance, and reducing the likelihood of developing addiction. However, these formulations contain higher doses of opioid analgesics which make them more susceptible to be manipulated. Hence, the most recent advances in pharmaceutical technology have been oriented towards the application of abuse deterrent technologies aiming to prevent their administration through alternative routes. Moreover, prolonged- release systems also play an essential role in the treatment of opioid addictions with the development of parenteral dosage forms capable of prolonging opioid release for months that help overcome one of the most important drawbacks in achieving treatment success, namely, patient compliance. We review herein the different prolonged-release opioid dosage forms currently approved in Europe and/or the United States for the treatment of pain and opioid dependence. (AU)
