In pediatric and geriatric populations, the selection of these excipients becomes even more crucial due to their unique physiological and pharmacokinetic profiles, as well as age-specific formulation requirements. This review examines the functions, safety considerations, and potential adverse effects of excipients in these vulnerable groups. It addresses the challenges of drug formulation for neonates, infants, and elderly patients, including immature enzyme systems, polypharmacy, and swallowing difficulties. The impact of excipient-excipient and excipient-active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) interactions on drug stability, efficacy, and safety is also highlighted. For instance, the effects of polyethylene glycol (PEG) in patients with impaired renal function and destabilizing interactions between surfactants and protein-based APIs are analyzed. Additionally, current guidelines and safety requirements from regulatory bodies such as the FDA, EMA, and ICH are reviewed. This paper emphasizes the importance of carefully selecting excipients that balance functionality and safety to ensure therapeutic efficacy while minimizing risks for pediatric and geriatric patients. Future directions in excipient development and formulation strategies are also discussed to improve treatment outcomes for these populations.","PeriodicalId":20004,"journal":{"name":"Pharmaceutical Development and Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142807677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) amphiphilic block copolymers were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The polymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Empty and donepezil loaded polymer micelles were formed using the dialysis method and characterized by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. Drug loading efficiency and release behavior were monitored using UV/Vis spectroscopy, and cytotoxicity was evaluated via colorimetric tests and impedance measurements. Additionally, the permeability of the nanocarriers across an in vitro BBB culture model was assessed. Drug-loaded micelles demonstrated similar permeability to free donepezil but offered sustained release and improved stability. This micellar delivery system holds significant potential for improving therapeutic outcomes in Alzheimer's treatment by enhancing donepezil's delivery across the BBB. Improved BBB permeability and sustained drug release could lead to more effective concentration of the drug in the brain, potentially reducing peripheral cholinergic side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, often observed with traditional donepezil administration. This could result in better patient compliance and improved cognitive outcomes, making this nanocarrier system a promising alternative for Alzheimer's therapy.","PeriodicalId":20004,"journal":{"name":"Pharmaceutical Development and Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1111-1120"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142546707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its effectiveness is limited by certain drawbacks, such as low solubility in water and high volatility. Therefore, a formulation of a stable solid PVP-I is desirable. In this study, complexes of molecular PVP-I with polyethylene glycol-polyvinyl alcohol copolymer (PEG-PVA copolymer) were considered water-soluble iodophors. Two different methods were used to prepare the solids: physical mixtures and kneading. The physical characteristics of the obtained solids were evaluated using several spectroscopic methods. The presence of iodine was confirmed by a potentiometric titration and antimicrobial activity was tested. The results showed that the PEG-PVA copolymer interacted with povidone primarily through hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl part of the PEG-PVA copolymer and the amide part of povidone with an estimated binding energy of 3.2 kcal/mol. The amide groups polarity in povidone made them more likely to form hydrogen bonds with the PEG-PVA copolymer. Also, the protonated pyrrolidone bonded to the triiodide anions by intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which increased PVP-I solubility in water. The kneading method provided a faster dissolution rate than physical mixing and pure PVP-I. The iodine contents were within an acceptable range (10-12%), and the antimicrobial activity proved effective against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Streptococcus mutans.","PeriodicalId":20004,"journal":{"name":"Pharmaceutical Development and Technology","volume":" ","pages":"1162-1174"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142626013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental results were succesfully fitted using Peppas and Sahlin model which includes the lag phase. Release kinetics of all examined flavonoid esters from gel emulsions through the membrane depended on both diffusion and polymer relaxation effect (0.5<n < 1). The estimated effective diffusion coefficients ranged from 0.168·10-8 to 6.149·10-8 cm2 s-1 for phloridzin esters and from 0.116·10-8 to 4.210·10-8 cm2 s-1 for naringin esters. The effective diffusion coefficients decreased with the increase in ester molecular weight indicating the size-dependent diffusion. All formulation showed good stability, excellent hydration effect, and excellent dermatological compatibility without irritating effect.
