Title of M.Pharm Project: Solubility enhancement of a poorly soluble workGuided by: Dr Anubha Khale
Abstract:
Pharmaceutical co-crystal is widely accepted technique important for increasing solubility of poorly soluble drugs. The formation of pharmaceutical co-crystals involves incorporation of API with another pharmaceutically acceptable molecule in a crystal lattice. The resulting multicomponent crystalline phase maintains its intrinsic pharmacological activity with improved physicochemical characteristics. Batches of co-crystals were prepared by solvent evaporation method. Co-crystals were evaluated for physical appearance, drug content uniformity, solubility studies, in vitro dissolution rate, FTIR, DSC, SEM and XRD studies. The co-crystals were incorporated into liquid dosage form using suitable excipients.

Title of M.Pharm Project: Development of Herbal drug formulationGuided by: Dr Anubha Khale
Abstract:
Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS) is one of the most common oral cavity lesions, with a wide range of reported prevalence from 5 to 50% in different populations. It is a recurrent spontaneously healing lesion mostly affecting the lips, soft palate and throat in children and young adults. Aloe Vera has been used externally to treat various skin conditions such as cuts, burns and eczema. It is postulated that the sap from A. Vera is analgesic and reduces inflammation. Many pharmaceutical researchers have focused on formulations enabling drug targeting and prolongation of the therapeutic effect in the oral cavity; protection of the drug from degradation in the adverse biologic environment was an additional focus. These requirements can be fulfilled by a suitable mucoadhesive formulation inside the buccal cavity: conventional dosage forms, in fact, maintain their effects in this cavity for a significant period of time with difficulty, because they are very easily removed by salivation, temperature, tongue movement, and swallowing. The objective of present research work is to develop mucoadhesive formulations for mouth ulcers and orodontal infections of herbal origin.

Title of M.Pharm Project: Design and development of novel formulationsGuided by: Dr Anubha Khale
Abstract:
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process of restoring cellular structures and tissue layers. The objective of wound management is to heal the wound in the shortest time possible, with minimal pain and discomfort. Hydrogel are most popular due to their good biocompatibility, high water content, high permeability of oxygen, essential nutrients. This research would be beneficial and contribute to the development of better anti-inflammatory and anti-burn formulation. The approach to the above research would be, to formulate an Aloe Vera gel using a natural polymer that absorbs water and forms a stable Hydrogel.

Title of M.Pharm Project: Enhancement of Bioavailability of poorly soluble drug.Guided by: Dr Anubha Khale & Ms. Hema Kanekar.
Abstract:
The current research work directed towards the development of mouth dissolving films for Ondansetron. It belongs to BCS class II drug having poor aqueous solubility.The bioavailability of orally administered Ondansetron is only 60%. Thus, project was directed towards the solubilization of drug to yield MD films. Phase solubility studies and SEM were carried out to establish the complexation of Ondansetron and hydroxypropyl-betacyclodextrin. The complexed drug was incorporated into the film dosage form. The dissolution and assay methods were developed. In vitro drug release and In vitro permeability study showed comparable drug diffusion. The developed ODF was transparent, readily disintegrating and thus possessing desired characteristics. The provisional Indian patent application is filed on the solubilization of drug and its formulation.

Title of M.Pharm Project: Enhancement of Bioavailability of poorly soluble drug. Guided by: Dr Anubha Khale & Ms. Hema Kanekar.
Abstract:
The M.Pharm research project was based on the techniques of enhancement of bioavailability for BCS class IV drug molecules. The lipidic excipients were studied along with drug to study the effect of these excipients on the solubility of drug. The aqueous solubility of phosphodiesterase inhibitor (selected drug) was found to be improved with lauroyl-macrogol-type of glycerides. Also, the In vitro permeability study was carried in isolated porcine tissue as well as in isolated intestinal segment and the diffusion of drug was correlated with In vitro release. The sprinkler kind of dosage form was developed which as the name suggests can be “Sprinkled over the foods”. The analytical method development was carried out for this novel dosage form.

Title of M.Pharm Project: Design And Development Of Novel Drug Delivery SystemGuided by: Dr Jaya Agnihotri
Abstract:
Controlled drug delivery is one which delivers the drug at a predetermined rate, locally or systemically, for a specified period of time. Delayed release dosage form is best formulations which are used for drugs that are destroyed in the gastric fluids, or cause gastric irritation, or are absorbed preferentially in the intestine. The primary object of the present project was stability enhancement for drug which is prone to decompose due to moisture and acidic environment, so use of enteric polymers helps protection and also improves the stability of API. Development of a generic product starts with the evaluation of the branded innovator product followed by compatibility studies, selection of process and equipment and lastly the feasibility trails bioequivalent product. Enteric coated tablets of proton pump inhibitor anti-ulcer drug were formulated and optimized by using design expert software. Stability studies are being carried out at temperature 30ºC/65%RH, 40ºC/75%RH & 25ºC/60%RH as per ICH guidelines.

Title of M.Pharm Project: Solubility Enhancement of Poorly Soluble Drug.Guided by: Dr Anubha Khale & Ms. Hema Kanekar.
Abstract:
The project was based on the design and development of mouth dissolving films. Levocetirizine dihydrochloride was selected for formulation development. Mouth dissolving films would provide faster onset of action and better patient compliance as compared to conventional dosage forms. Although, Levocetirizine molecule is reported to be have high solubility but it has moderate permeability and thus delay in onset of action with conventional dosage forms. Thus, MDF are the most suitable dosage form for this molecule. There are no mouth dissolving films available for this molecule. Thus, in the current research work Levocetirizine orodispersible films 2.5 mg once a day dosage was designed. The analytical development for Assay, Dissolution was developed. The special packaging development for MDF was carried out in collaboration with ACG Pharma pack. The provisional Indian patent application is filed for the composition and manufacturing process for Levocetirizine MDF through Hk’s IPR policy.

Title of M.Pharm Project: Formulation Development Of Novel Drug Delivery SystemGuided by: Dr Jaya Agnihotri
Abstract:
The aim of the research study was to develop and evaluate the nanostructured lipid carrier based formulation for the treatment of vertigo. Furthermore the project also aims to develop nasal in-situ gel for targeted drug delivery of the NLC’s to the brain via trigeminal neuronal pathway. Cinnarizine (CNZ), a piperazine derivative with anti-histaminic activity and high affinity to H1 receptors is currently used for the treatment of migraine or migraine related vertigo. A poorly water-soluble BCS Class II drug, oral delivery of Cinnarizine is precluded due to variable dissolution and low bioavailability. Therefore to overcome problems like to reduce the number of doses and increasing the patient compliance novel approaches were needed. Nanostructured lipid carriers are colloidal drug carrier systems comprising of aqueous dispersions of solid lipids as well as liquid lipids. They are especially useful for entrapment of the lipophilic drugs or poorly water soluble drug. Most of the piperazine derivatives, being highly lipophilic are suitable candidates for incorporation into lipid nanoparticles. Novel gel formulation of CNZ combining advantages of nanoparticulate and in-situ gelling technologies was successfully developed for nasal administration as well as brain targeting. The formulation had demonstrated good stability and physical properties of nanosuspension phase, excellent sol-gel transformation ability of in-situ gelling phase and controlled drug release profile overall.
