New Approach for Pre-formulation of an Oral Cyclosporine

چکیده
Development of new oral cyclosporine formulation using cyclodextrin tetrapolymer (Pαβγ-CD) in attempt to enhance its stability and dissolution rate.Two spray-dried dispersion formulations containing poorly water-soluble cyclosporine (CsA) were prepared with cyclodextrin tetrapolymer in water (FH2O) and ethanol (FEOH) then characterized by scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, particle size distribution, circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) along with the dissolution study which was compared to Neoral® and Sandimmune®. The physicochemical characterization studies showed an interaction between cyclosporine and P-αβγ-CD without secondary structure changes of cyclosporine. The order of cyclosporine release was as follows: (FH2O) = Neoral® ˃ (FEOH) ˃ Sandimmune®. The results could be explained by hydrophylisation and absence of crystallinity of cyclosporine. In conclusion, FH2O formulation revealed similar dissolution profile as Neoral® and better than Sandimmune®.

Laboratory Monitoring of Cyclosporine Pre-dose Concentration (C0) After Kidney Transplantation in Isfahan
Background: Cyclosporine is the main immunosuppressive agent used in organ transplantation which leads to considerable improvement in graft survival. The large inter- and intra- patient variability in cyclosporine pharmacokinetics coupled with the agent’s narrow therapeutic index and adverse effects necessitate therapeutic monitoring of cyclosporine blood levels. Objective: The aim of this stu...

This study was designed to investigate the effects of tangerine, orange, and grapefruit juice on the pharmacokinetic pattern of cyclosporine A in rats. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups to receive water, orange, tangerine, or grapefruit juices respectively. Water or juices (10 ml/kg) were given orally twice a day for 3 days. Three hours after the 5th dose, cyclosporin...
متن کاملOral Cyclosporine Treatment in Dogs: A Review of the Literature
Cyclosporine is an immunomodulatory drug used to treat an increasing spectrum of diseases in dogs. Cyclosporine is a calcineurin inhibitor, ultimately exerting its inhibitory effects on T-lymphocytes by decreasing production of cytokines, such as interleukin-2. Although, in the United States, oral cyclosporine is approved in dogs only for treatment of atopic dermatitis, there are many other ind...

The Extended Hildebrand Solubility Parameter Approach (EHSA) is used to estimate the solubility of satranidazole in binary solvent systems. The solubility of satranidazole in various water-PEG 400 mixtures was analyzed in terms of solute-solvent interactions using a modified version of Hildebrand-Scatchard treatment for regular solutions. The solubility equation employs term interaction ...

To assess the comparative bioavailability of two cyclosporine capsule products with different pharmaceutical formulation an open randomized two-period cross over study was conducted in 24 healthy volunteers. Our results, obtained from cyclosporine HPLC determination onto the whole blood samples collected, show that the test cyclosporine non-SMEDDS formulation was not bioequivalent cyclosporine ...
