OBJECTIVE:To prepare Diphenidol hydrochloride double-layer osmotic pump tablets,and study its in vitro release characteristics. METHODS:Double-layer compressing technique and film coating technology were conducted to prepare Diphenidol hydrochloride double-layer osmotic pump tablets. The in vitro releases of it,Difenidol hydrochloride tablets in market,self-made Difenidol hydrochloride single-layer osmotic pump tablets were compared. RESULTS:The formulation was as follow as diphenidol hydrochloride 75 mg,sodium chloride 10 mg,low-molecular-weight polyoxyethylene 15 mg and right amounts of 5% PVP K30 ethanol solution. Booster layer was high-molecular-weight polyoxyethylene 60 mg,sodium chloride 20 mg,PVP K306 mg,right amounts of magnesium stearate. 12 h cumulative release(Q)of prepared double-layer osmotic pump tablets reached 80%,and the release was in line with zero-order kinetic equation. Q15 min of Difenidol hydrochloride tablets had reached 90%;Q12 h of Difenidol hy-drochloride single-layer osmotic pump tablets was only 51.14%. CONCLUSIONS:The prepared Difenidol hydrochloride dou-ble-layer osmotic pump tablets have sustained release effect,with more complete drug release within 12 h than single-layer one.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the formulation of Phencynonate hydrochloride transdermal patch. METHODS:Phencynonate hydrochloride transdermal patch was prepared by solvent evaporation method. Using 48 h accumulative transdermal volume as index,single factor test and Box-Behnken design-response surface methodology were used to optimize drug dosage,the amount of transdermal enhancers azone and pressure-sensitive adhesive,and evaluate the appearance,adhesion of the formulation prepared by the best prescription. RESULTS:The optimized formulation was as follows as 263 mg drug dosage,165 mg azone, 1.94 g pressure-sensitive adhesive and 1.6 g methanol. 48 h accumulative transdermal volume of prepared patch was(119.48 ± 2.95)μ g/cm2(n=5),related error of which to predicted value was 2.48%. The prepared patch showed smooth surface and incision,good adhesiveness. CONCLUSIONS:Phencynonate hydrochloride transdermal patch is prepared successfully,its accumulative transdermal volume is in agreement with predicted standard.

Objective: To prepare diphenidol hydrochloride push-pull osmotic pump tablets and in-vestigate the influence of differ-ent factors on in-vitro drug release. Methods: The cumulative release of different formulas was detected. Using the cumulative release and similarity factor f2as the evaluation criterion, single factor experiment was applied to screen the core formula and coating process. Results: The drug release behavior was affected by the content of PEO in the drug containing layer, the content of NaCl and the weight gain of the coating layer. After the formula was optimized, the NaCl content in the drug containing layer was 10mg, the PEO-N10 con-tent was 15mg. In the push layer, the content of PEO-WSR303 was 60 mg, that of NaCl was 20 mg. The optimized coating liquid for-mula contained 1. 25 g·L-1PEG4000 and the coating weight gain was 7% of the core. The optimized formula fitted a zero-order equa-tion within 2-12h with the drug release equation of Q=6. 308t-2. 5037(r=0. 995 8). Conclusion: The preparation technology of di-phenidol hydrochloride push-pull osmotic pump tablets is stable, and the in-vitro drug release fits zero-order model.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Shenling Baizhusan on the intervention of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway by regulating ferroptosis in rats with alcoholic liver injury. MethodForty SD rats were randomly divided into model group, polyene phosphatidylcholine group, and high, medium, and low-dose Shenling Baizhusan groups, with 8 rats in each group. Another 8 SD rats were taken as blank group. The model group, polyene phosphatidylcholine group, high, medium, and low-dose Shenling Baizhusan groups were given 10 mL·kg-1 liquor by gavage for modeling, and the blank group was given equal volume of distilled water by gavage. After 4 h of daily alcoholic administration, 143.64 mg·kg-1 of polyene phosphatidylcholine group was given to the polyene phosphatidylcholine group, 15, 7.5, 3.75 mg·kg-1 of Shenling Baizhusan were given to Shenling Baizhusan high, medium, and low-dose groups, respectively, and the blank group and the model group were given equal volume of distilled water. The gavage lasted for 6 weeks. The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), total cholesterol (TC), and triglyceride (TG) were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-β (IL-β) were detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), and Fe+ were detected by biochemical assay. The pathological changes in the liver were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and oil red O staining. The mRNA expression levels of Nrf2, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), ferritin heavy polypeptide 1 (FTH1), and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) were detected by Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). The protein expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, GPX4, FTH1, p65, and phosphorylation (p)-p65 were detected by Western blot. ResultAs compared with the blank group, the levels of liver function (ALT, AST, and GGT) and blood lipids (TC and TG) in the model group were significantly increased (P<0.05). The liver showed obvious steatosis, with a large number of fat deposition, the oxidative stress and inflammatory factors were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the level of Fe+ was significantly increased in model group (P<0.05). The protein expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, GPX4, and FTH1 was significantly down-regulated (P<0.05), and those of p65 and p-p65 was significantly up-regulated in the model group (P<0.05). The mRNA expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, GPX4, and FTH1 were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05), and the mRNA expression level of NF-κB was significantly up-regulated (P<0.05). As compared with the model group, the levels of liver function (ALT, AST, and GGT) and blood lipids (TC and TG) in the high-dose and medium-dose Shenling Baizhusan groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05), liver steatosis was significantly improved, fat deposition was significantly reduced, oxidative stress and inflammatory factors were significantly decreased (P<0.05 ), and Fe+ level was significantly decreased (P<0.05). In the high-dose and medium-dose Shenling Baizhusan, the protein expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, GPX4, and FTH1 were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05), and those of p65, p-p65 were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05). The mRNA expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, GPX4, and FTH1 were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05), and the mRNA expression level of NF-κB was significantly down-regulated (P<0.05). ConclusionShenling Baizhusan can effectively reduce liver injury in rats with ALD, regulate steatosis and fat deposition, and play an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory role in the liver. Its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of ferroptosis in hepatocytes by up-regulating the Nrf2 signaling pathway to improve oxidative stress
