Study of spatial distribution for the active ingredient in ibuprofen tablet based on near-infrared micro-imaging technology

The NIR micro-images of ibuprofen tablets were collected in this research.Compare correlation imaging and principal component analysis(PC A) with histogram were applied to acquire the spatial distribution of ibuprofen granule.The result indicated that a similar distribution trend can be acquired by both of the two methods mentioned above;the information of PC2 results from ibuprofen mainly since the correlation coefficient between PC2 loading vector and the NIR spectrum of ibuprofen is 0.9930.The result of PCA indicated that the information of PC2 results from ibuprofen mainly for both the low and the high content of ibuprofen in the tablets.The correlation coefficient between the data of the two PC2 loading vectors of the low and the high content of ibuprofen in the tablets is 0.9998,which indicates that the result of PCA is stable and reliable.     

Hydrolysis of ibuprofen nitrile and ibuprofen amide and deracemisation of ibuprofen using Nocardia corallina B-276

A novel application of whole cells of Nocardia corallina B-276 for the deracemisation of ibuprofen is reported. This microorganism successfully hydrolysed ibuprofen nitrile to ibuprofen amide, and ibuprofen amide to ibuprofen, using a suspension of cells in a potassium phosphate buffer solution (0.1 M, pH = 7.0). These results can be explained by the presence of NHase and amidase enzymes, but the reactions are not enantioselective and low ee values were obtained. However, (R)-ibuprofen was isolated with > 99% ee by a deracemisation process catalysed by N. corallina B-276. This is the first report of this kind of catalysis with this microorganism.     

Submicron particles of SBA-15 modified with MgO as carriers for controlled drug delivery

Submicron particles with modified surface were synthesized by a simple one-pot synthesis approach and used as drug carrier for controlled release. Due to the alkalinity of MgO species on the surface, the amount of a model drug, ibuprofen, adsorbed on the modified surface was increased as compared to pure silica SBA-15 although the surface area was decreased by the surface modification. FTIR investigation indicated that the adsorption state of ibuprofen on MgO modified SBA-15 was different from that on pure silica SBA-15 and pure crystal ibuprofen. The result obtained from in vitro release test exhibited that the surface modification greatly decreased the ibuprofen release rate. In first 6 h in vitro release test, only 63% of the adsorbed ibuprofen was released from the MgO/SBA-15 (Si/Mg=20). In contrast, the release of ibuprofen was complete in 1 h from the pure silica SBA-15 under the same release conditions. The surface modified with MgO created affinity with acidic ibuprofen molecules and retarded the release rate from the mesoporous matrix. In addition, the release rate of ibuprofen could be modulated by varying the content of MgO, and was found to decrease with increasing amount of MgO on surface of SBA-15 submicron particles.     

Experimental and theoretical investigation of the micellar-assisted solubilization of ibuprofen in aqueous media

Surfactants can be used to increase the solubility of poorly soluble drugs in water and to increase drug bioavailability. In this article, the aqueous solubilization of the nonsteroidal, antiinflammatory drug ibuprofen is studied experimentally and theoretically in micellar solutions of anionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS), cationic (dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, DTAB), and nonionic (dodecyl octa(ethylene oxide), C12E8) surfactants possessing the same hydrocarbon "tail" length but differing in their hydrophilic headgroups. We find that, for these three surfactants, the aqueous solubility of ibuprofen increases linearly with increasing surfactant concentration. In particular, we observed a 16-fold increase in the solubility of ibuprofen relative to that in the aqueous buffer upon the addition of 80 mM DTAB and 80 mM C12E8 but only a 5.5-fold solubility increase upon the addition of 80 mM SDS. The highest value of the molar solubilization capacity (chi) was obtained for DTAB (chi = 0.97), followed by C12E8 (chi = 0.72) and finally by SDS (chi = 0.23). A recently developed computer simulation/molecular-thermodynamic modeling approach was extended to predict theoretically the solubilization behavior of the three ibuprofen/surfactant mixtures considered. In this modeling approach, molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations were used to identify which portions of ibuprofen are exposed to water (hydrated) in a micellar environment by simulating a single ibuprofen molecule at an oil/water interface (modeling the micelle core/water interface). On the basis of this input, molecular-thermodynamic modeling was then implemented to predict (i) the micellar composition as a function of surfactant concentration, (ii) the aqueous solubility of ibuprofen as a function of surfactant concentration, and (iii) the molar solubilization capacity (chi). Our theoretical results on the solubility of ibuprofen in aqueous SDS and C12E8 surfactant solutions are in good agreement with the experimental data. The ibuprofen solubility in aqueous DTAB solutions was somewhat overpredicted because of challenges associated with accurately modeling the strong electrostatic interactions between the anionic ibuprofen and the cationic DTAB. Our results indicate that computer simulations of ibuprofen at a flat oil/water interface can be used to obtain accurate information about the hydrated and the unhydrated portions of ibuprofen in a micellar environment. This information can then be used as input to a molecular-thermodynamic model of self-assembly to successfully predict the aqueous solubilization behavior of ibuprofen in the three surfactant systems studied.

Drug nano-domains in spray-dried ibuprofen-silica microspheres

Silica microspheres encapsulating ibuprofen in separated domains at the nanometre scale are formed by spray-drying and sol-gel processes. A detailed (1)H and (13)C NMR study of these microspheres shows that ibuprofen molecules are mobile and are interacting through hydrogen bonds with other ibuprofen molecules. (1)H magnetisation exchange NMR experiments were employed to characterize the size of the ibuprofen domains at the nanometre scale. These domains are solely formed by ibuprofen, and their diameters are estimated to be ～40 nm in agreement with TEM observations. The nature and formation of these particular texture and drug dispersion are discussed.     

Measurement of Ibuprofen Binding to Mixed Monolayers Containing β-Cyclodextrin Active Sites

A molecular imprinting method involving a three-step sequential self-assembly procedure was applied to prepare gold electrodes responsive towards ibuprofen. The electrode modified with the cyclodextrin derivative binds ferrocene to form an electroactive complex with the ferrocene oxidation current decreasing in the presence of ibuprofen in the solution. The competition of ferrocene and ibuprofen for the cyclodextrin cavities in the monolayer provided a means for the determination of the binding constants of ibuprofen with two derivatives of lipoylamide β-cyclodextrin of different hydrophobicity.     

The Intestinal and Biliary Metabolites of Ibuprofen in the Rat with Experimental Hyperglycemia

Hyperglycemia is reported to be associated with oxidative stress. It can result in changes in the activities of drug-metabolizing enzymes and membrane-integrated transporters, which can modify the fate of drugs and other xenobiotics; furthermore, it can result in the formation of non-enzyme catalyzed oxidative metabolites. The present work aimed to investigate how experimental hyperglycemia affects the intestinal and biliary appearance of the oxidative and Phase II metabolites of ibuprofen in rats. In vivo studies were performed by luminal perfusion of 250 μM racemic ibuprofen solution in control and streptozotocin-treated (hyperglycemic) rats. Analysis of the collected intestinal perfusate and bile samples was performed by HPLC-UV and HPLC-MS. No oxidative metabolites could be detected in the perfusate samples. The biliary appearance of ibuprofen, 2-hydroxyibuprofen, ibuprofen glucuronide, hydroxylated ibuprofen glucuronide, and ibuprofen taurate was depressed in the hyperglycemic animals. However, no specific non-enzymatic (hydroxyl radical initiated) hydroxylation product could be detected. Instead, the depression of biliary excretion of ibuprofen and ibuprofen metabolites turned out to be the indicative marker of hyperglycemia. The observed changes impact the pharmacokinetics of drugs administered in hyperglycemic individuals.     

Loading and release of ibuprofen in multi- and monofilament surgical sutures

The preparation of mono- and multifilament sutures incorporating ibuprofen as an anti-inflammatory agent is considered. Poly(p-dioxanone) monofilament samples can be loaded by a molecular diffusion process using a swelling agent such as dichloromethane. The mechanical properties have been measured and have not shown a significant change for the ibuprofen loaded samples in knot tensile assays. The kinetics of both the loading process and the release in a S?rensen's medium at 37 degrees C have been investigated. Diffusion coefficients have also been estimated from film and slab poly(p-dioxanone) samples containing ibuprofen and their release behavior compared to that shown by monofilaments. Release from a coating copolymer based on lactide, epsilon-caprolactone and trimethylene carbonate (PLA/PCA/PTMC 10/60/30) has also been studied. This coating solubilizes ibuprofen molecules well and can be used for braided sutures or when a rapid dose of ibuprofen is preferred.     

Development of capillary gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric methodology for the simultaneous determination of ibuprofen and [ar-2H4]ibuprofen in serum: demonstration of kinetic equivalence in the beagle

A capillary gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method for the determination of ibuprofen and tetra-deuterated ibuprofen in serum is described. Ibuprofen, [ar-2H4]ibuprofen and the internal standard, [ar-2H4,3,3,3-2H3]ibuprofen, are extracted (after acidification) from serum onto a cross-linked styrene divinyl benzene resin by an automated sample processor. After elution and evaporation of the organic phase, samples are reconstituted with solvent and analyzed without derivatization by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. This methodology was used to evaluate possible kinetic isotope effects after the coadministration of an equimolar mixture of ibuprofen and the deuterium-labeled covariant in the beagle. No significant differences in absorption or elimination were observed.     

布洛芬在阴离子交换树脂上的负载及其缓释

将布洛芬通过静电和疏水作用的共同作用负载于聚苯乙烯型大孔弱碱性阴离子交换树脂D301R和D301T上,最佳负载条件为:布洛芬悬浮于5~10%的乙醇水溶液中,加入树脂后在60℃下搅拌12h,负载量可达到0.49g/g树脂。研究了负载的布洛芬在模拟胃肠道的条件下(pH2下2h、pH 7.4下4h和pH 6.7下18h)的释放动力学,在前12h的释放接近于线性释放,释放率为58~60%。后12h的释放量较小,释放率为13~17%。如果每12h服药1次,第2次服药后的24h的累加释放率接近于线性释放。与聚苯乙烯骨架的大孔弱碱性阴离子交换树脂相比,聚甲基丙烯酸酯骨架的弱碱性阴离子交换树脂(甲基丙烯酸正丁酯/甲基丙烯酸N,N-二甲胺基乙酯/双甲基丙烯酸乙二醇酯共聚物)负载的布洛芬在相同释放条件下突释明显,表明布洛芬与苯乙烯型弱碱性阴离子交换树脂之间的π-π作用在布洛芬的缓释中起关键的作用。     

布洛芬与人血白蛋白位点II动态结合过程的分子模拟:一种结合途径分析

人血白蛋白（HSA）主要有两个药物结合位点,位点I和位点Ⅱ,许多小分子优先结合在位点Ⅱ上,包括抗炎类药物布洛芬。本文采用分子模拟方法研究了布洛芬小分子与HSA位点Ⅱ结合的动态过程,探讨了二者的结合机制。首先构建了50个随机分布的布洛芬与HSA复合物体系,经50 ns分子动力学模拟,其中一个布洛芬分子稳定结合于位点Ⅱ。基于该分子的运动轨迹分析,发现布洛芬的结合可分为四个阶段,即远程吸引、表面结合调整、进入位点Ⅱ空腔和稳定结合。比较范德华和静电相互作用能,发现初期以静电吸引为主,中期在HSA表面的两个极性区域间调整,逐步转移至位点Ⅱ附近;然后在位点Ⅱ入口处的极性残基和附近疏水残基的共同作用下,布洛芬进入位点Ⅱ空腔;进入空腔后,静电和疏水共同作用形成稳定结合。在结合过程中,位点Ⅱ附近的蛋白表面发生明显改变,体现出一定的“诱导契合”作用,同时分子模拟得到的结合模式和布洛芬-HSA结合的晶体结构类似。结果表明,分子模拟可以辅助研究小分子和蛋白结合的动态过程,从分子水平阐述相关结合机制。

High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of the stereoisomeric metabolites of ibuprofen

A stereospecific reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method has been developed to simultaneously quantitate the stereoisomers of the two major metabolites of ibuprofen: hydroxyibuprofen and carboxyibuprofen. The metabolites were derivatized with S-(alpha)-methylbenzylamine to form diastereomeric amides which were separated and quantified on a C8 column. The validity of the stereoselective assay was confirmed by comparison with a non-stereoselective HPLC method. The stereoselective assay was applied to the quantification of all the stereoisomeric ibuprofen metabolites in urine from human volunteers dosed with racemic ibuprofen or the individual enantiomers of ibuprofen. Significant substrate and product stereo-selectivities were observed in the formation of carboxyibuprofen.     

Preparation,Characterization and ex vivo Intestinal Permeability Studies of Ibuprofen Solid Dispersion

The aim of the present study was to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of ibuprofen and to evaluate, ex vivo, the intestinal permeation. Solid dispersions (SD) were prepared with Kollicoat IR^® by solvent evaporation technique in different drug:carrier ratios. The permeation intestinal of ibuprofen was evaluated by inverted intestinal sac method. The SD was characterized by solubility equilibrium, FT-IR, DSC, PXRD, SEM, and dissolution rate. The solubility, dissolution rate, and permeability were significantly greater for SD 1:2. The PXRD, SEM and DSC indicated a partial change in the crystalline state of ibuprofen. The solubility equilibrium of SD (1:2) was approximately 15 times greater than the solubility of ibuprofen. Dissolution rate enhancement was attributed to the decreased crystallinity of the ibuprofen, and increase of wettability and decrease of particle size. In conclusion, dissolution rate and intestinal permeability of ibuprofen were enhanced by the use of Kollicoat IR^® carrier in the SD formulation.     

Photoregulated uptake and release of drug by an organic–inorganic hybrid sol–gel material

A photo-responsive molecularly imprinted sol–gel organic-inorganic hybrid material prepared by covalent imprinting of the template-functional monomer complex formed between 4,4′-dihydroxylazobenzene and ibuprofen was developed to explore the photo-regulated uptake and release of drug by a silicate-based smart molecularly imprinted materials. After imprinting, the template molecules (ibuprofen) were removed via hydrolysis in acid, and accurate cavities were left, which could be used as the receptor recognition sites for ibuprofen. The new organic–inorganic hybrid material shows specific affinity to ibuprofen and reversible uptake and release of ibuprofen upon alternate irradiation at 365 and 440 nm, respectively. The favorable binding strength of the imprinted receptor sites in the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for ibuprofen is found to be 2.28 × 10³ M⁻¹. Density of receptor sites in the MIP material was 4.0 μmol/g—MIP.     

The Effect of the Nature and Structure of Adsorbents on Interaction with Ibuprofen

The interaction of ibuprofen [2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid] with the surface of carbon and oxide adsorbents was investigated. The significant role of wide pores during the adsorption of ibuprofen on carbon adsorbents in the presence of protein molecules was demonstrated. At low concentrations ibuprofen is adsorbed on the surface of hydrophilic and hydrophobic adsorbents in the form of a monomer, but the contribution from the adsorbed dimer increases with increase in its concentration.     

Spectrofluorimetric study of host-guest complexation of ibuprofen with beta-cyclodextrin and its analytical application

The characteristics of host-guest complexation between beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and two forms of ibuprofen (protonated and deprotonated) were investigated by fluorescence spectrometry. 1:1 stoichiometries for both complexes were established and their association constants at different temperatures were calculated by applying a non-linear regression method to the change in the fluorescence of ibuprofen that brought about by the presence of beta-CD. The thermodynamic parameters (deltaH, deltaS and deltaG) associated with the inclusion process were also determined. Based on the obtained results, a sensitive spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of ibuprofen was developed with a linear range of 0.1-2 microg ml(-1) and a detection limit of 0.03 microg ml(-1). The method was applied satisfactorily to the determination of ibuprofen in pharmaceutical preparations.
