    Cyclosporine A, a potent immunosuppressive agent, is extensively utilized in ophthalmic treatments. However, its high relative molecular mass and pronounced hydrophobicity pose challenges to its penetration through the physiological barriers of eyes, leading to low bioavailability. By strategically integrating innovative excipients and formulation technologies, the bioavailability of cyclosporine A can be enhanced from four aspects: increasing drug solubility, facilitating penetration through ocular mucus, boosting deep penetration into corneal tissues, and extending residence time on the ocular surface. This review focuses on the characteristics, action mechanisms, and associated formulation technologies of novel excipients employed in cyclosporine A ophthalmic formulations, to provide a reference for efficient delivery of cyclosporine A and the development of future novel formulations.

    The fingerprints of decoction pieces and dispensing granules of Bupleurum chinense DC. were established by HPLC coupled with evaporative light scattering detector according to the “Similarity Evaluation system of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint(2012 edition)”. The similarity was evaluated and the common characteristic peaks were determined. Softwares of SPSS 22.0 and SIMCA 14.1 were used for cluster analysis(CA), principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis to screen the different components that affected the quality of decoction pieces and dispensing granules. The results showed that there were twenty-four common peaks in ten batches of decoction pieces, with a similarity of no less than 0.985. And there were sixteen common peaks in twenty batches of dispensing granules, with a similarity of 0.858 - 0.998. Six common peaks were identified, including saikosaponin c(peak 6), saikosaponin f(peak 7), saikosaponin a(peak 9), saikosaponin d(peak 18), saikosaponin b2(peak 28) and saikosaponin b1(peak 29). The results of CA and PCA showed that Bupleurum chinense DC. decoction pieces and Bupleurum chinense DC. dispensing granules were clustered into two categories. The variable importance in the projection(VIP) values of sixteen common peaks were all high than 1, which meant the difference between decoction pieces and dispensing granules. The established fingerprint and chemical pattern recognition analysis method can be used to evaluate the quality of decoction pieces and dispensing granules of Bupleurum chinense DC.

    A high drug-loading solid dispersion of nimodipine was prepared via a hot-pressing extrusion method by mixing the bulk drug and a polymer carrier in a mass ratio of 4∶1. The process parameters, namely the carrier material type, rotational speed of the extrusion machine, extrusion temperature, and preparation method, were optimized with the dissolution behavior of the product in hydrochloric acid(pH 1.0) as the evaluation indicator. The results showed that the high drug-loading solid dispersions with Eudragit® EPO as the carrier prepared at 80 ℃ which was far below the melting point of nimodipine and the rotational speed of 30 r/min by hot-pressing extrusion method could significantly improve the dissolution of nimodipine. The dissolution rate at 15 min was over 80%. The characteristic results of differential scanning calorimetry, powder X-ray diffraction, particle size determination and scanning electron microscopy showed that nimodipine was existed in the form of nanocrystals in the solid dispersion. In the accelerated test, nimodipine in the solid dispersion changed from crystal form Ⅰ to crystal form Ⅱ, but the dissolution behavior in vitro remained basically unchanged.

    Due to the temperature sensitivity of some ion channel drugs, the testing temperature might be an important influencing factor in their safety evaluation. Therefore, this study compared the effects of some drugs on the voltage-gated sodium channel(Nav1.5) under different temperature(29, 33, 35, and 37 ℃)] conditions. The whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to record the changes in sodium channel current(INa) after the temperature-sensitive drugs(mexiletine, quinidine, and ranolazine) functioned on Nav1.5-human embryonic kidney(HEK) 293 cells at different temperatures. The study investigated the influence of temperature on the concentration-dependence of INa and the halfmaximal inhibitory concentration(IC50) of the aforementioned drugs. The results showed that mexiletine, quinidine, and ranolazine could inhibit INa in a concentration-dependent manner at different temperatures(29, 33, 35, and 37 ℃). Compared to 29 ℃, the inhibitory effects of these drugs on INa was more significant at 35 ℃. This study evaluated the effects of three drugs on the sodium channel Nav1.5 under four temperature conditions, which was benefit to improve the accuracy of preclinical cardiac toxicity screening and evaluation of drugs, providing a reference for GLP institutions to conduct ion channel drug evaluation tests.

    The peptide mapping and disulfide linkages of ranibizumab(including one batch of reference preparation and two batches of samples) were simultaneously characterized by the online partial reduction of tris- (2-carboxyethyl)phosphine(TCEP) after a single injection by LC-MS/MS for the first time. The results showed that the sequence coverage of peptide mapping could reach 100%, and the identified post translational modifications were mainly oxidation, deamidation and pyroglutamic acid cyclization. The five pairs of disulfide bonds were confirmed to be consistent with the theoretical connection. In addition, free cysteine and three pairs of scrambled disulfide bonds were identified by this method, and the probability of artifacts could be effectively reduced by adding a certain amount of alkylation reagents. This online method shortened the processing and analysis time, reduced the uncontrollable factors introduced by humans, and provided references for high-throughput antibody structure characterization.

    Qipi pills, a traditional Chinese medicine formulation composed of raw medicinal herb powder, are highly susceptible to microbial contamination. In this study, 149 batches of samples from 10 different manufacturers were tested in accordance with current standards and the results were analyzed. Subsequently, exploratory research was conducted to establish a microbial limit detection method for Qipi pills. The detected microorganisms were identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS) or 16S rRNA gene sequencing technology, and their microbial contamination status was assessed. The results revealed that all 149 batches of samples complied with the regulations upon microbial limit inspection. The established microbial limit inspection method for Qipi pills was 1∶20 for total aerobic bacteria count, 1∶10 for total mold and yeast count, while standard methods were employed for specified microorganisms including Escherichia coli, bile salt-tolerant Gram-negative bacteria, and Salmonella. Among the identified contaminating bacteria, 90% were Bacillus spp., suggesting an enhancement in process control over microorganisms by manufacturers was necessary.
