Background:
Liposomes have been widely studied in the field of medicine in recent years for they can reduce side effects
and regulate drug release by delivering active ingredients to target tissues and cells through active or passive routes. There
are many types of methods for formulating liposomes, and comparing those methods and choosing the most suitable
one will allow the delivery of active ingredients and their incorporation into pharmaceutical forms, so this research was
carried out.
Aim:
To compare liposome formation methods.
Materials and Methods:
The research work was carried out with the support of “Drug Design Laboratory” and “Pharmaceutical Analysis Laboratory” of the School of Pharmacy of MNUMS. To formulate liposomes, 5 different concentrations
of samples were prepared using thin-film hydration, ethanol injection, and heating methods. Phospholipid concentration
and light absorption were determined by spectrophotometer in each sample. The size of the resulting liposome was determined using a Nanophox.
Results:
Phosphatidilcholines were dissolved in distilled water at concentrations of 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 μg/ml and a
standard curve was established by spectrophotometry to determine the concentration of phospholipids in liposome samples. The highest formulation was 76.98% when 75 mg of phospholipid was used in the preparation by thin film hydration
method, when 50 mg of phospholipid was used in the preparation by ethanol injection method, the highest formulation
was 85.17%, and for when 50 mg of phospholipid was used in the preparation by heating method, the highest formulation
was 58.45%. The mean liposome size by ethanol injection method was 115 nm.
Conclusions
1. Ethanol injection method for liposome formulation is more efficient compared to thin-film hydration method and
heating method.
2. Liposome size was 115 nm when prepared by ethanol injection.

Background:
In Mongolia, 80.1% of women of reproductive age suffer from vitamin D deficiency. This deficiency is
associated with an increased risk of rickets, osteomalacia, weakened immunity, hypertension, diabetes, and infectious
diseases.Currently, Mongolia imports vitamin D-containing pharmaceutical products, and no research has been conducted
on the pharmaceutical formulation technology of orally administered vitamin D3 products. Vitamin D3 is highly sensitive
to environmental factors such as ultraviolet (UV) light, oxidation, and temperature changes, leading to its degradation.
Therefore, improving its stability in pharmaceutical formulations is essential. The need for a stable vitamin D3-containing
pharmaceutical product serves as the basis for this study.
Aim:
To develop a tablet formulation containing cholecalciferol.
Materials and Methods:
The study was conducted in collaboration with the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology
at the School of Pharmacy, Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, and the drug development laboratory of
“Monos Pharm” LLC. To enhance the stability and technological properties of cholecalciferol, a spray-drying technique
was used to prepare five different emulsions containing various excipients. Microencapsulation was performed to improve
stability, and the most suitable formulation and technological parameters were selected. From the microencapsulated
cholecalciferol, tablet formulations were developed using both direct compression and wet granulation techniques. The
quality parameters of the tablets were assessed according to the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), and the optimal technological
process for tablet production was determined.
Results:
A stable microencapsulated cholecalciferol formulation was successfully developed, and suitable excipients
were selected. The quantitative content of cholecalciferol was determined to be 1791 IU, with variations ranging from
-8.38% to -11.38%.
Conclusion
The study identified appropriate excipients and technological parameters for obtaining microencapsulated
cholecalciferol. Additionally, the optimal formulation and processing parameters for developing a tablet dosage form
containing microencapsulated cholecalciferol were established.

Background:
Vitamin E is an oil-soluble compound with antioxidant properties
against free radicals. It has been used in cosmetic practice since long
time ago. However, it is unstable to light and heat, and even when formulated
into pharmaceuticals, it has poor skin penetration, which can reduce the effectiveness
of the treatment. Therefore, by encapsulating Vitamin E in liposomes
and forming a gel, it is possible to produce a highly therapeutically effective
drug form that supports skin homeostasis and provides moisturizing benefits.
To this reason, it is necessary to determine the appropriate methods and conditions
for encapsulation in liposomes, which is the basis for conducting this
study.
Aim:
The goal of the research is to develop a technology for preparing vitamin
E-loaded liposomes and incorporating them into a gel formulation.
Materials and Methods:
Liposomes were formed using thin film hydration,
ethanol injection, and heating methods, each with 5 different concentrations,
and liposome formation was determined spectrophotometrically for each sample.
The size of the formed liposomes was determined using a Nanophox instrument.
Six gel models were prepared and compared for quality parameters.
Results:
The highest yield was obtained when 75 mg of phospholipids were
used in the thin film hydration method, which is 82.3%; the highest yield was
obtained when 50 mg of phospholipids were used in the ethanol injection
method, which is 86.75%; and the highest yield was obtained when 50 mg of
phospholipids were used in the heating method, which is 58.8%. The average
size of liposomes prepared by ethanol injection and dissolved in distilled water
was 106 nm. The gel bases were prepared using models F1-F6, and the pH
values of models F4 and F5 were suitable.
Conclusions
1. Among the three methods for liposome formation, the ethanol injection
method had the highest yield.
2. The ethanol injection method had the highest encapsulation when prepared
with a phospholipid:vitamin E ratio of (1:10).
3. For gel base model F5 was suitable which is carbomer 1.0%, preservative
propylparaben 0.02%, pH adjuster sodium hydroxide, and permeability
enhancer propylene glycol 10%.
