Description

1 TARIFF EFFECTIVE MICROEMULSION FORMULATION IN THE TREATMENT OF HYPERTENSION. Technical Field to Which the Invention Relates 5 The invention relates to the delivery of the active ingredient nadolol from lipid-based nano-drug delivery systems. Nano formulations produced by loading them onto a microemulsion system and their production It is related to the method. This formulation is used in the treatment of hypertension. It is used. 10 State of the Art High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is when blood pressure puts pressure on the walls of the arteries. It is a medical condition characterized by a high level of force. Millimeter of mercury (mmHg) Blood pressure, measured in milligrams, is expressed in two values: systolic pressure (heartbeats per minute) and systolic pressure (in milligrams per minute). blood pressure (force between heartbeats) and diastolic pressure (force between heartbeats). Normal blood pressure is 15 While blood pressure is typically around 120 / 80 mmHg, hypertension is when these values ​​are consistently elevated. It occurs when blood pressure exceeds the normal range. Long-term high blood pressure, by straining the arteries, heart and other organs, it can cause conditions such as heart attack, stroke and heart failure. It can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle factors, genetics, and others Health conditions can lead to the development of hypertension. Cardiovascular health is crucial. preventive treatments for the protection and reduction of hypertension symptoms and Routine blood pressure tests are of great importance. Hypertension treatment typically aims to lower blood pressure and reduce associated complications. It includes a multifaceted approach aimed at reducing the risk. Lifestyle changes These form a fundamental component of hypertension management. These include a healthy diet (25%). adopting a healthy weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight. This may include protection and reduction of alcohol consumption. Effectively regulating blood pressure. Medications may also be prescribed to control it. These medications generally reduce fluid retention. diuretics, beta-blockers to reduce heart rate, to relax blood vessels for angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and to dilate arteries 30 Like calcium channel blockers, they target various mechanisms in the body. Nadolol, commonly used to treat hypertension, is a medication that affects the heart and circulatory system. Nadolol is a type of medication classified as a beta-blocker. Like adrenaline, nadolol blocks bacteria in the body. 2 by blocking the effects of some natural substances that can increase heart rate and blood pressure It works. As a non-selective beta-blocker, nadolol targets both beta-1 receptors in the heart. It also affects beta-2 receptors in blood vessels. Thus, it reduces the workload on the heart. by helping to lower blood pressure and widening blood vessels It causes it to fall. Various drugs are used to deliver medications like nadolol to the patient's body. Support systems have been improved. Drug delivery systems enable the effective delivery of therapeutic agents within the body. It encompasses various techniques and formulations designed for drug delivery systems. Examples include oral drug delivery via tablets or capsules, and systemic drug absorption. It is a common method for this. Injections such as intravenous or intramuscular injections are used. Accessible routes enable rapid and precise drug delivery, which is vital in critical situations. It allows for the use of patches to slowly release drugs through the skin. or uses topical formulations. by inhalers or nebulizers Facilitated inhalation methods target the respiratory system, and specifically the respiratory system. It is useful in treating these conditions. Including drug-delivering implants or microchips. 15 Implantable devices, including those that provide controlled, continuous medication over a long period of time. It enables release. Nanoscale drug delivery, tiny carriers for drug encapsulation. By using it, it increases the targeted stability and distribution. The selection of a particular carrier system, The drug's properties depend on factors such as the targeted tissue and the desired release kinetics. Nadolol is an active ingredient with low solubility (between 20% and 40%). Nadolol 20 Its low solubility means that treatment needs to be tailored to achieve the optimum therapeutic effect. This leads to continued high doses. Frequent swallowing, such as in the elderly and children. In patient groups where difficulties are encountered, administering the drug in solid form is different. This leads to problems. The high doses result in a high profile of side effects in clinical practice. While reducing patient adherence to treatment at the first stage, it also reduces adherence to treatment at the production stage. This also leads to high costs. The limitations and inadequacies of current technological solutions, particularly in tablet form, The low solubility of nadolol in medications therefore hinders the optimum therapeutic effect. The necessity of continuing treatment with higher doses to achieve the desired result, swallowing Reasons such as patients having difficulty using the medication due to complications 30 Therefore, a development in the field of effective nano-formulations for the treatment of hypertension. It has been deemed necessary to do so. 3 Brief Description and Objectives of the Invention The invention describes a lipid compound containing the active ingredient nadolol, to be used in the treatment of hypertension. The invention relates to a nano-drug delivery system based on nadolol, microemulsion. The microemulsion, which is the subject of this invention, is loaded onto a nano-drug delivery system in the form of an oil 5. the first phase contains cinnamon oil, the water phase contains distilled water, Tween 20 as surfactant, and the co-surfactant. It contains propylene glycol:ethanol. The developed drug delivery system is for oral use. It is directed towards. Microemulsions have a high surface area, therefore they are suitable for active ingredients. It has a solubility capacity. The surfactants and cosurfactants used have a solubility capacity of 10 in the intestines. By temporarily opening tight intercellular junctions, it contributes to improved bioavailability. This is because surfactants and cosurfactants are non-ionic, providing protection against mucosal irritation. The irritating effect is minimized. In addition, cosurfactants are added to the formulations. By adding it, the amount of surfactant used is reduced. Low Because of its viscosity, it is used in filling, transferring and transporting applications in the pharmaceutical industry. They facilitate the process in different phases. In addition, microemulsions increase the solubility of the active ingredient. By increasing it, it enhances bioavailability. One aim of the invention is to obtain a drug with high bioavailability. This For the purpose of drug delivery systems, solid dosage forms of active substances and It is absorbed faster than emulsions and has a high bioavailability of 20. A microemulsion system was chosen. Another aim of the invention is to improve compliance with nadolol-containing medications. This is particularly relevant for the elderly and children. In patient groups who frequently experience swallowing difficulties, instead of solid drug forms The use of easily swallowed microemulsions improves patient adherence to treatment. This allows it to increase. In addition, by improving nadolol bioavailability, the treatment lasts 25 days. By providing it in low doses, side effects from oral use are minimized. Additionally, the invention aims to create a more accessible drug. Microemulsions exhibit good thermodynamic stability. Their thermodynamic stability... Thanks to this, their production and sterilization are relatively simpler and cheaper. Also, production... It allows for easy scaling up in this phase. For these reasons, nadolol carrier 30 The use of microemulsions as a system increases the accessibility of the drug to be obtained. It increases. 4 Explanation of the Figures Figure 1.
