Recently, we developed a printable plant-based nanocomposite hydrogel, composed of anionic cellulose nanofibers (T-CNF) and methacrylated galactoglucomannan (GGMMA), reinforced with mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) of different surface charges. However, ensuring the biological activity of the delivered biomolecules requires further investigation to validate the functionality of the developed biomaterial. To investigate this, in this study, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and lysozyme were selected as distinct model proteins, assessing their immobilization stability and biological activity after MSN immobilization and 3D printing. The interactions between the enzymes and differently surface-modified MSNs were explored using multi-parametric surface plasmon resonance (MP-SPR) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We observed that MSN surface charge is key to the extent of enzyme adsorption and activity control. Positively charged MSNs showed the highest HRP immobilization but caused significant activity loss in both enzymes. In contrast, near-neutral and negatively charged MSNs provided improved stability and activity retention for HRP and lysozyme, respectively. Except for lysozyme/hydrogel, HRP/hydrogel and enzyme-loaded nanocomposite hydrogels (HRP-loaded near-neutral and lysozyme-loaded negatively charged MSNs) were successfully 3D printed using different UV post-curing times. While enzyme-laden nanocomposite scaffolds showed promising immobilization stability, the presence of the photoinitiator caused significant inactivation for both enzymes. Irrespective of the crosslinking approach, this matrix demonstrates significant potential as a delivery carrier for various biomolecules, with promising applications in tissue engineering and wound healing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12018,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"211 ","pages":"Article 107132"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144110125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among these, amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) are established as an effective means of improving drug absorption. However, evaluating the outcome of in vitro ASD screening approaches and relating this to the expected bioavailability increase can be difficult if not done systematically. Here we show, for the first time, how the combination of a high-throughput ASD screening method with the refined Developability Classification System (rDCS) can streamline the formulation of poorly soluble APIs as ASDs. Using the Screening of Polymers for Amorphous Drug Stabilization (SPADS) approach to rapidly prepare ASD films, the improvement in dissolution performance of three APIs (befetupitant, celecoxib and itraconazole) was investigated with eight polymeric carriers. The results showed that the concentration of dissolved API was highly dependent on both the carrier and the drug load. For the APIs studied, Eudragit E, HPMC 100LV and Soluplus showed especially advantageous effects as carriers. Translating these results into the rDCS framework allowed for the visualization of the left-shift (more favorable for absorption) in classification. Several ASD films were classified as rDCS class I, showing a major improvement from the initial IIb classification of the pure API. This novel approach could be expanded to include a diverse set of screening methods for enabling formulation strategies, where the rDCS can allow for a direct comparison and support formulation selection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12018,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"211 ","pages":"Article 107130"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144093246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, there was some consensus that, whenever extrapolation from one strength to the others is not easily established, the “bracket-approach” of the EMA focusing on the intake conditions in the label claim (fasted or fed), can help mitigating risks without adding significant cost and effort.</div><div>(5) Partial AUC for BE demonstration: Clinical relevance is key to decide on the relevant PK metrics for BE assessment whenever possible.

The average dosing accuracy showed good mass uniformity. All the formulations showed an appropriate homogeneity (AV<15) and stability up to 9 months. Dissolution results of the tablets were in compliance with acceptance criteria (USP) for immediate release dosage forms, i.e., 80% of drug released within 45 min. The osmolality of placebo, propranolol, spironolactone, and prednisolone tablets were 86, 81, 78, and 75 mOsm/kg, respectively. These osmolality values were well below the recommended osmolality of pediatric formulations, i.e., < 450 mOsm/kg.
