Technology Selection To Enhance Oral Bioavailability

drug delivery Comments Off

Aug 212014

Effective technology selection for improving bioavailability (BA) can accelerate the development of promising compounds and reduce the overall cost and complexity of drug development. Science-based technology selection requires an understanding of the scientific fundamentals governing drug solubilization, absorption and metabolic fate, as well as the feasibility and performance boundaries between enabling technologies. Capsugel / Bend Research have developed a robust technology selection process facilitated by its breadth of BA-enhancing technologies and extensive experience in advancing hundreds of challenging compounds.

Microsponges are polymeric delivery systems composed of porous microspheres. They are tiny sponge-like spherical particles with a large porous surface. Moreover, they may enhance stability, reduce side effects and modify drug release favorably. Microsponge technology has many favorable characteristics, which make it a versatile drug delivery vehicle. Microsponge Systems are based on microscopic, polymer-based microspheres that can suspend or entrap a wide variety of substances, and can then be incorporated into a formulated product such as a gel, cream, liquid or powder. The outer surface is typically porous, allowing a sustained flow of substances out of the sphere. Microsponges are porous, polymeric microspheres that are used mostly for topical use and have recently been used for oral administration. Microsponges are designed to deliver a pharmaceutical active ingredient efficiently at the minimum dose and also to enhance stability, reduce side effects, and modify drug release.

Illustration of layer-by-layer synthesis of nanoparticles for treating breast cancer tumors

Double Duty

To deliver a one-two nanopunch to triple-negative breast cancer tumors, researchers start with a lipid-coated sphere filled with the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (left). Then they add alternating layers of poly-L-arginine and an siRNA sequence (center), capped off by a layer of hyaluronic acid (right), which disguises the particle from the body’s immune system.

Women with triple-negative breast cancer, a rare but aggressive form of the disease, often find that it is difficult to treat. An early diagnosis allows more treatment options, but women with this type of cancer generally have a lower survival rate than those with other types of breast cancers. To tackle the disease, a team of researchers has developed a nanomedicine that delivers a one-two punch to tumors that weakens their defenses and obliterates them (ACS Nano 2013, DOI: 10.1021/nn4047925).
