Responsible for the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 is one of three structurally similar beta-coronaviruses that can cause a strong upregulation of cytokines referred to as cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Unresolved CRS leads to respiratory symptoms, including pneumonia, and in more severe cases, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Although COVID-19 is widely known for these hallmark respiratory symptoms, it also impacts the gut, causing gastrointestinal (GI) tract inflammation and diarrhea. COVID-19's GI symptoms may be due to the high intestinal expression of angiotensin converting enzyme-2 receptors, which are for the binding of SARS-CoV-2 viral particles. Reports have shown that SARS-CoV-2 can be passed through fecal matter, with one study finding that 48.1% of COVID-19 patients expressed viral SARS-CoV-2 mRNA in their stool. Given that the GI tract is a target tissue affected by COVID-19, this causes concern for those with underlying GI pathologies, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Regrettably, there have been only limited studies on the impact of COVID-19 on gut health, and the impact of COVID-19 on intestinal inflammation among IBD patients remains unclear. In particular, questions regarding susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection, clinical impact of COVID-19 on IBD, and the potential influence of age, sex, and immunosuppressant medications are still poorly understood. An improved understanding of these issues is needed to address the unique risks of COVID-19 among IBD patients, as well as the potential impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the host intestinal microbiota.</p>","PeriodicalId":73746,"journal":{"name":"Journal of exploratory research in pharmacology","volume":"7 1","pages":"37-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/b2/84/nihms-1774288.PMC9373928.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9375922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The serious side effects of conventional drug delivery systems due to high applied doses, low transition rates to the brain, and limitations of drug application during seizures result in the urgent need for novel drug delivery systems for the enhanced treatment of epilepsy. Methods: In this study, Lacosamide was selected because of its high therapeutic dose, which is due to its low transition to the target site. Microneedle patches were formulated by micromolding of polymers of carboxy-methyl cellulose (CMC) and Eudragit S 100 (ES100) for a unique route for applications to reduce the applied dose to minimize the severe side effects. This strategy enhanced brain transition via the nasal route and over-came the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to minimize the applied dose. Characterization studies were performed in detail. Results: The results revealed that the releases of Lacosamide extended to 96 h with ES100 microneedle patches. In contrast, CMC microneedles released almost all the active ingredients within 1 h due to the hydrophilic nature of the polymer. Stability studies indicated that the formulations were stable at 25 ± 2°C (60 ± 5% Relative Humid-ity; RH), 40 ± 2°C (75 ± 5% RH) and 5 ± 3°C for 6 months. Conclusions: By considering the film like structures, polymeric microneedle patches have the potential for Lacosa-mide delivery through the unconventional nasal route for the improved treatment of epilepsy.","PeriodicalId":73746,"journal":{"name":"Journal of exploratory research in pharmacology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42856934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
