Preparation, <i>In-vitro, Ex-vivo</i>, and Pharmacokinetic Study of Lasmiditan as Intranasal Nanoemulsion-based <i>In Situ</i> Gel
...Show More Authors
Background:

Lasmiditan (LAS) is a recently developed antimigraine drug and was approved in October, 2019 for the treatment of acute migraines; however, it suffers from low oral bioavailability, which is around 40%.

Objective:

This study aimed to improve the LAS bioavailability via formulation as nanoemulsionbased in situ gel (NEIG) given intranasally and then compare the traditional aqueous-LASsuspension (AQS) with the two successful intranasal prepared formulations (NEIG 2 and NEIG 5) in order to determine its relative bioavailability (F-relative) via using rabbits.

Method:

Two successfully prepared nanoemulsion (NE) formulas, a and b, were selected for the incorporation of different percentages of pH-sensitive in situ gelling polymer (Carbopol 934) to prepare NEIGs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The pH, gelation capacity, gel strength, and viscosity were predicted for the prepared NEIGs. The release (in vitro) and the nasal permeation (ex vivo) were determined for NEIG 2 and 5, and then both were subjected to pharmacokinetics in vivo studies. Eighteen male rabbits weighing 2.0 to 2.5 kg were employed in the parallel design study. The body surface area (BSA) normalization method was applied for LAS dose calculation. Serial blood samples were taken out and subjected to drug analysis using the HPLC method previously developed and validated by Kumar et al. Primary pharmacokinetics parameters, including maximum drug concentration in plasma (Cmax), time to reach C-max (T-max), and area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to affinity (AUCt0-∞) were calculated. Both NE (a and b), together with NEIG (2 and 5) formulas, were subjected to the stability study. Finally, a nasal ciliotoxicity study was carried out to evaluate the nasal toxicity of developed NEIGs 2 and 5.

Result:

The results showed that NEIGs 2 and 5 could be selected as the optimized NEIGs as both achieved 100% permeation within 20 min and then released within 25 and 35 min, respectively, thus achieving 3.3 folds with higher permeation percentages as compared to the AQS. Both NEIGs 2 and 5 exerted comparable release and permeation values as the corresponding NE a and b with more residence time in order to overcome the normal nasal physiological clearance. The values of C-max, Tmax, and AUC0- ∞ for NEIG 2 and NEIG 5 were 8066 ± 242 ng/ml, 0.75 ± 0.05 h, 19616.86 ± 589 ng. h/ml, and 7975.67 ± 239 ng/ml, 1.0 ± 0.05 h, 17912.36 ± 537 ng. h/ml, respectively, compared to the traditional AQS, which is equal to 4181.09 ± 125 ng/ml, 2 ± 0.2 h, and 8852.27 ± 266 ng. h/ml, respectively. It was discovered that NEIGs 2 and 5 had better intranasal delivery of LAS and could significantly (p < 0.05) achieve a higher value of permeability coefficient (3.3 folds) and 2.5 folds improvement in bioavailability when compared to AQS. The NE a, NE b, NEIG2, and NEIG5 formulations showed good stability at various temperatures. According to the nasal ciliotoxicity study, the nasal mucosal membrane, which was treated with NEIG 5, showed irritation with a bit of damage. However, damage was not observed when it was treated with NEIG 2, indicating the biocompatibility of the last one to be selected as the optimum formula.

Conclusion:

NEIG 2 and NEIG 5 are promising new intranasal formulas with a faster onset of action and greater bioavailability than the oral dosage form (AQS). Finally, the selected optimum gold formula that will be ready for further clinical study is NEIG 2.

Convergence Analysis for the Homotopy Perturbation Method for a Linear System of Mixed Volterra-Fredholm Integral Equations
...Show More Authors

           In this paper, the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is presented for treating a linear system of second-kind mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equations. The method is based on constructing the series whose summation is the solution of the considered system. Convergence of constructed series is discussed and its proof is given; also, the error estimation is obtained. Algorithm is suggested and applied on several examples and the results are computed by using MATLAB (R2015a). To show the accuracy of the results and the effectiveness of the method, the approximate solutions of some examples are compared with the exact solution by computing the absolute errors.

The technique of converting multi-choice mathematical programming into linear mathematical programming to find the optimal solution
...Show More Authors

The study deals with the issue of multi-choice linear mathematical programming. The right side of the constraints will be multi-choice. However, the issue of multi-purpose mathematical programming can not be solved directly through linear or nonlinear techniques. The idea is to transform this matter into a normal linear problem and solve it In this research, a simple technique is introduced that enables us to deal with this issue as regular linear programming. The idea is to introduce a number of binary variables And its use to create a linear combination gives one parameter was used multiple. As well as the options of linear programming model to maximize profits to the General Company for Plastic Industries product irrigation sy

The measurements of neutron Fermi Age for selected Nuclear Reactor shielding materials using the Indium foil technique
...Show More Authors

The Neutron Fermi Age, t, and the neutron slowing down density,   q (r, t) , have been measured for some materials such as Graphite and Iron by using gamma spectrometry system UCS-30 with NaI (Tl) detector. This technique was applied for Graphite and Iron materials by using Indium foils covered by Cadmium and the measurements done at the Indium resonance of 1.46 eV. These materials are exposed to a plane 241Am/Be neutron source with recent activity 38 mCi. The measurements of the Fermi Age were found to be t = 297 ± 21 cm2 for Graphite, t = 400 ± 28 cm2 for Iron. Neutron slowing down density was also calculated depending on the recent experimental t value and distance.
