In addition to manufacturing procedures, testing methods were also discussed, providing insights into the development and evaluation of DPI formulations. This review also explores the design basics and critical attributes specific to DPIs, highlighting the significance of their optimization to achieve an effective inhalation therapy. Additionally, the morphology and stability of 3 DPI capsules (Spiriva, Braltus, and Onbrez) were investigated, offering valuable insights into the properties of these formulations.

The virus settles primarily on the nasal mucosa, and the infection and its course depend on individual susceptibility. Our aim was to investigate the nasopharynx composition’s role in the individual susceptibility. During the first phase of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, nasopharyngeal microbiome samples of close contact unvaccinated patients were investigated by 16S rRNA analysis and by culturing. The whole genome of cultured Corynebacteria was sequenced. The relative expression of ACE2, TMPRSS2, and cathepsin L on Caco-2 cells and the strength of S1-ACE2 binding were determined in the presence of Corynebacteria . From 55 close contacts exposed to identical SARS-CoV-2 exposure, 26 patients became infected and 29 remained uninfected. The nasopharyngeal microbiome analysis showed significantly higher abundance of Corynebacteria in uninfected group. Corynebacterium accolens could be cultivated only from uninfected individuals and Corynebacterium propinquum from both infected and uninfected. Corynebacteria from uninfected patient significantly reduced the ACE2 and cathepsin L expression. C. accolens significantly reduced the TMPRSS2 expression compared to other Corynebacteria . Furthermore, Corynebacterium spp. weakened the binding of the S1-ACE2. Most C. accolens isolates harbored the TAG lipase LipS1 gene. Based on these results, the presence of Corynebacterium spp. in the nasopharyngeal microbiota, especially C. accolens strains, could reduce the individual susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection by several mechanisms: by downregulation the ACE2, the TMPRSS2 receptors, and cathepsin L in the host; through the inhibition of S1-ACE2 binding; and lipase production. These results suggest the use of C. accolens strains as probiotics in the nasopharynx in the future.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2509-2723}, pages = {2927-2938}, orcid-numbers = {Szabó, Dóra/0000-0002-8601-3923; Ostorházi, Eszter/0000-0002-9459-7316; Stercz, Balázs/0000-0002-9585-8397; Kristóf, Katalin/0000-0002-5189-4636; Antal, István/0000-0002-5434-201X; Réthelyi, János/0000-0002-3641-012X; Zsigmond, Réka Ildikó/0000-0002-7019-6761; Birtalan, Ede/0000-0002-5699-3545; Merkely, Béla Péter/0000-0001-6514-0723; Tamás, László/0000-0003-3723-9149} } @article{MTMT:34009564, title = {Rheological Considerations of Pharmaceutical Formulations: Focus on Viscoelasticity}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34009564}, author = {Budai, Lívia and Budai, Marianna and Pápay, Zsófia Edit and Vilimi, Zsófia and Antal, István}, doi = {10.3390/gels9060469}, journal-iso = {GELS-BASEL}, journal = {GELS (BASEL)}, volume = {9}, unique-id = {34009564}, abstract = {Controlling rheological properties offers the opportunity to gain insight into the physical characteristics, structure, stability and drug release rate of formulations.

However, their ADMET properties are not well studied. The aim of the current study was to provide preliminary information about the skin penetration of three preselected α-aminophosphonates when applying them as topical cream formulations in static and dynamic diffusion chambers. The results indicate that aminophosphonate 1a, without any substituent in the para position, shows the best release from the formulation and the highest absorption through the excised skin. However, based on our previous study, the in vitro pharmacological potency was higher in the case of para-substituted molecules 1b and 1c. The particle size and rheological studies revealed that the 2% cream of aminophosphonate 1a was the most homogenous formulation.

In this perspective, biocompatible poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polysuccinimide (PSI), and ε-polycaprolactone (PCL) based implantable scaffolds were developed by electrospinning to improve the bioavailability of incorporated or conjugated prednisone (Pred) and doxorubicin (Dox). Besides physicochemical characterization, the effect of the loaded amount of Prednisone on the mechanical properties of the fibers as well as their drug release profile were investigated. The drug release measurement revealed that the release profile highly depends on the polarity of the applied polymer as well as the environmental pH. Concerning electrospun meshes incorporating prednisone, the anti-inflammatory effect was monitored by measuring the release of a wide spectrum of cytokines by MDA-MB-231 cells. Besides the loading of doxorubicin, the chemical conjugation to polysuccinimide was successfully carried out which provided prolonged release as well as increased cellular uptake. Based on the different drug release profiles, poly(vinyl alcohol), polysuccinimide, and ε-polycaprolactone fibrous meshes can be used to prepare a potential multi-layered drug-containing implantable scaffold, which can provide both burst and prolonged release of prednisone and doxorubicin. The anti-inflammatory effect of prednisone could be beneficial to avoid rejection after implantation while incorporation or conjugation of doxorubicin into polysuccinimide fibers provides sufficient cytotoxicity and enhanced cellular uptake of MDA-MB-231 cells.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1873-3166}, orcid-numbers = {Juriga-Tóth, Krisztina/0000-0002-7939-5492; Kovács, Árpád Ferenc/0000-0002-7742-160X; Pállinger, Éva/0000-0002-5789-0951; Antal, István/0000-0002-5434-201X; Kőhidai, László/0000-0002-9002-0296; Jedlovszky-Hajdú, Angéla/0000-0003-2720-783X; Juriga, Dávid/0000-0003-2655-5584; S.
