Amelioration of Motor and Non-Motor Deficits by Agmatine-Loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles in a 6-OHDA Rat Model of Neurodegeneration Harish KH, Agadi Hiremath Viswanatha Swamy Swamy International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology, 2026 Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the progressive loss of neurons, leading to profound impairments in cognitive and motor functions. Conventional medical interventions often fail to impede disease progression and frequently result in enduring adverse effects. This study examined the neuroprotective properties of agmatine and its solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN) formulation in an animal model of induced neurodegeneration. Exposure to neurotoxic substances resulted in significant behavioral alterations. The neurotoxicant group exhibited substantial spatial learning impairments, evidenced by a prolonged escape latency in the Morris Water Maze (74.33 ± 0.70 seconds). Agmatine SLNs demonstrated superior neuroprotective efficacy compared to free agmatine. In the Elevated Plus Maze (EPM), agmatine SLNs significantly improved cognitive recovery by normalizing transfer latency to 59.13 ± 0.78 seconds, which was nearly identical to the normal control value (58.22 ± 0.84 seconds). Furthermore, while the neurotoxicant group showed significant motor impairment with only 185.3 ± 13.05 counts/5 min in locomotor activity, the agmatine SLN-treated group maintained significantly higher activity (270.3 ± 22.36 counts/5 min). These findings suggest that agmatine SLNs effectively ameliorate both motor and non-motor symptoms, offering a promising therapeutic strategy for progressive neuronal degeneration.
Asymmetric membrane osmotic capsules for terbutaline sulphate NG Gobade, Marina Koland, KH Harish Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2012 The aim of the present study was to design an asymmetric membrane capsule, an osmotic pump-based drug delivery system of ethyl cellulose for controlled release of terbutaline sulphate. asymmetric membrane capsules contains pore-forming water soluble additive, sorbitol in different concentrations in the capsule shell membrane, which after coming in contact with water, dissolves, resulting in an in situ formation of a microporous structure. The terbutaline sulphate is a β-adrenoreceptor agonist widely used in the treatment of asthma. The oral dosage regimen of terbutaline sulphate is 5 mg twice or thrice daily, the plasma half-life is approximate 3-4 h and it produces GI irritation with extensive first pass metabolism. Hence, terbutaline sulphate was chosen as a model drug with an aim to develop controlled release system. Different formulations of ethyl cellulose were prepared by phase inversion technique using different concentrations of sorbitol as pore forming agent. It was found that the thickness of the prepared asymmetric membrane capsules was increased with increase in concentration of ethyl cellulose and pore forming agent, i.e. sorbitol. The dye release study in water and 10% sodium chloride solution indicates that, the asymmetric membrane capsules follow osmotic principle to release content. The pores formed due to sorbitol were confirmed by microscopic observation of transverse section of capsule membrane. Data of in vitro release study of terbutaline sulphate from asymmetric membrane capsules indicated that, the capsules prepared with 10% and 12.5% of ethyl cellulose and 25% of sorbitol released as much as 97.44% and 76.27% in 12 h, respectively with zero order release rate. Hence asymmetric membrane capsule of 10% ethyl cellulose and 25% of sorbitol is considered as optimum for controlled oral delivery of terbutaline sulphate.
