ABSTRACT
In the last few years, there has been a wide growth in the field of phyto­medicine and gaining popularity all over the globe because of their natural origin and lesser side effects. The applications of different phytoconstituents loaded nanoformulations have been widely accepted as delivery systems for various diseases. The application of nanoformulation opened the door in a disease like glaucoma, eye cancer, and other anterior ocular diseases by significantly modifying the properties of drugs and their carriers. It utilized various nanoformulations like nanoparticle, nanoemulsion, nano lipid structure, nano lipid vesicle to transport the different phytoconstituents like curcumin, quercetin, forskolin to the site of action. The greater stability of phytoconstituents loaded nanoformulation is due to the formation of chemical links between lipid molecules and active agents. There are several

phytoconstituents loaded nanoformulation have depicted a novel delivery system to deliver active compounds to the target site of action, and at present, several nanoformulations are in clinical use. This chapter summarizes the latest research reports regarding the possible administration of phytocon­stituents loaded nanoformulations for different ocular diseases.

The eye is considered as an essential part of the body that comprises of two major anatomical parts: the anterior as well as the posterior region. The posterior region mainly composed of choroid, vitreous chamber, macula, and retina and importantly the posterior area of the sclera is located interior to the lens (Janagam et al., 2017). The majority of eye-related illnesses seem to be arisen from internal structures of the eye, hence raising the quantum and intensity in a consistent manner (Thrimawithana et al., 2011). If left untreated, these problems may cause permanent eye damage resulting in loss of complete vision. According to the recent data reports it was revealed that around 39 million people were affected because of age-associated macular degeneration (AMD), Retinopathy due to diabetes, and disease of glaucoma of the posterior region of the eye resulting in the complete visual loss (Inter­national Federation, 2013; McGrath et al., 2017).
Presently, the use of invasive procedures and topical administration of drugs in the form of ocular gel, ointment, etc., to the posterior and anterior regions of the eye is the only available option for managing these disor­ders. Yet, posterior side topical drug delivery abides a point of confronta-
tion because of diverse efuence systems and organic impediments, like
nasolacrimal drainage, tear clearance, the cornea, conjunctiva, and scleral
barriers. The current advancement in the eld of nanotechnology and nano
-
drug studies, laid down a great provision and access by overwhelming the restrictions of the conventional treatments, due to their protecting capability for encapsulated medications that ease their transport to a particular spot of tissue (Weng et al., 2017; Kaur and Kakkar, 2014). Additionally, nanopar­ticles aids as a favorable vehicle for topical drug delivery systems due to prolonged drug duration, higher drug absorbency beyond the barriers, and posterior area drug delivery via restrained rate (Delplace et al., 2015). Varied nano-vehicles such as lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, emulsions, spanlas­tics, micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, layered double hydroxides (LDH), dendrimers, cyclodextrins, and pro-active medication with built-in quality

has been employed in order to achieve and devise a novel formulation opti­mization designs in case of topical administration of posterior eye (Madni et al., 2017).
As reported by World Health Organization (WHO), in southeast coun­tries like India, China, and such other developing countries, the main health needs of approximately 80% of the population are met and/or complemented by traditional medicine (Robinson and Zhang, 2011). Since ancient times herbal extracts have been used in treating various eye diseases. Macerated fruit of Atropa belladonna was the plant-derived substance used by the
Egyptians rst time in the anterior region of the eye to treat ophthalmic
disease (Duncan and Collison, 2003). Several new phytoconstituents have
been studied exhaustively in order to nd out constituents with the capacity
to give greater advantages to eye tissue and the sight. Transpiring indications of wound-healing, anti-inammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antian­giogenic, and antineoplastic characteristics ascribed to herbal extracts has
advocated larger speculations in investigation in this eld. Regardless of
technological progress in the manufacture of synthetic drugs, the pharma­ceutical industry still look for novel active constituents from natural origin, moreover, often visiting previously accepted plant-derived compounds. Considering the above facts, this chapter aims to report different nano-based ocular drug delivery systems of phytoconstituents used in the effective treat­ment of vision-threatening posterior eye diseases.

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), as well as nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), are considered to be regularly investigated lipid nanoparticles that are used for the ocular drug delivery. These nano-drugs usually contain a solid lipid core, which has potential in accumulating medications with hydrophilic and lipophilic nature into lipid fabric (Figure 9.1). SLN are accurately embraced with more than a single solid lipid, which shows a melting point of 40°C and even higher. Subsequently in the beginning of 1990s the benefits of control release property of SLNs has been emerged (Souto and Doktorovova, 2009), including cellular toxicity, augmented compatibility, and high in vivo tolerance (Doktorovova et al., 2014, 2016). Compared to SLN, NLCs which contain
210

suitable blends of both liquid and solid lipids seem to possess the benefits of elevated medication carrying potential, improved storage steadiness, and efficient drug discharging characteristics (Das et al., 2012; Liu et al., 2017). Several phytoconstituents based lipid nanomedicines were developed for the effective treatment of vision-threatening diseases. Yu et al. (2018) designed a new nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) embedded double-receptive hydrogel for ocular drug delivery of quercetin (QN). NLC loaded with quer­cetin (QN-NLC) was devised using melt emulsification combined with the ultra-sonication method. A three-factor five-level central composite design (CCD) was utilized to optimize the formulation of QN-NLC. The optimized QN-NLC presented a particle size of 75.54 nm with narrow size distribution and greater encapsulation efficiency (97.14%). QN-NLC was identified by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover, a pH and temperature double-receptive hydrogel consisting of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and poloxamer 407 (F127) was fabricated by a cross-linking reaction with a naturally occurring nontoxic crosslinking agent genipin (GP). FT-IR was used to exhibit that F127/CMCS hydrogel was successfully produced. The results of SEM analysis and swelling experiments demonstrated that F127/CMCS hydrogel was both pH, as well as temperature­receptive. Moreover, In vitro release studies exhibited dual temperature and pH responsiveness of the hydrogel, and 80.52% of total quercetin was released from the QN-NLC based hydrogel (QN-NLC-Gel) within 3 days, unfolding QN-NLC-Gel released drug sustainability. Collectively speaking, the produced NLC-based hydrogel was a promising drug delivery system for the application to the ophthalmic region.
Lakhani et al. (2018) were conducted a new study on preparation, opti­mization, and evaluation of curcumin-incorporated NLCs for their in vitro and ex vivo characteristics. A standard CCD was utilized in optimization of NLCs, which are formulated using hot-melt emulsication and ultrasonica­tion methods, these NLCs were evaluated for their in vitro physicochemical characteristics. Their stability over an extended period of 3 months and trans­corneal permeation across excised rabbit corneas (ex vivo) were examined for the optimized NLCs. The optimized NLC, with polydispersity index of 0.17 ±
0.05, particle size of 66.8 ± 2 nm, drug loading (DL) of 3.1 ± 0.05% w/w, and
entrapment efciency of 96 ± 1.6%, was chosen using CCD. The optimized
NLCs showed optimum ex vivo stability at 4°C for the study period and showed
a signicant improvement in curcumin permeation (2.5-fold) across the rabbit
cornea in comparison to the control. Altogether, these studies demonstrated the successful designing and development of NLCs utilizing the design of
211 Phytoconstituent-Based Nanotherapeutics
https://t.me/medicina_free
experiment approach; the formulation improved curcumin permeation across excised corneas and did not show any harmful side effects.
Wang et al. (2017) prepared, optimized, and characterized a cationic lipid nanoparticle (CLN) system containing fractioned drugs utilizing a molecular dynamics model as a novel approach of optimizing and characterizing the formulations. Puerarin (PUE) and scutellarin (SCU) were used as model
drugs. Melt-emulsion ultrasonication and low temperature-solidication
methods were used in the preparation of CLNs. The characteristics of CLNs such as gross morphology, zeta potential, and particle size, DL, entrapment efciency (EE), and in-vitro drug release performance were assessed. The CLNs were also evaluated by corneal permeation, preocular retention time, and pharmacokinetics (PKs) in the aqueous humor. Moreover, a molecular dynamics model was employed to assess the formulation. SEM results revealed that the nanoparticles were approximately spherical in shape. All other physical parameters results of these nanoparticles were satisfactory and most importantly the mathematical values calculated for these systems were
statistically signicant. The pharmacokinetic study performed collecting
samples from the aqueous humor demonstrated that compared with the PUE and SCU solution, the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) value of PUE was increased by two folds for PUE-SCU CLNs, and the SCU AUC was also enhanced by two folds. In the molecular dynamics model, PUE, and SCU passed through the POPC bilayer, with a clear cut difference in the free energy well depth. It was found that the maximum free energy required for PUE and SCU transmembrane movement was ~15 and 88 kJmol
–1
,
respectively. These ndings indicated that compared with SCU, PUE easily passed through the membrane. The diffusion coefcient values obtained for PUE and SCU were also statistically signicant. Data obtained from the
molecular dynamics model were in accordance with the experimental data. All data showed that CLNs have a high capability for ocular administration and can be used as an ocular delivery system for multi-component drugs. Moreover, the molecular dynamics model can also be used as a novel method for assessing new formulations.
Li et al. (2014) prepared employing emulsion evaporation-solidication at
low temperature method tetrandrine-loaded cationic solid lipid nanoparticles (TET-CNP) and solid lipid nanoparticles (TET-NP). The particle size, zeta
potential, entrapment efciency of TET-CNP, and TET-NP were determined.
The results revealed that the TET-CNP and TET-NP had acceptable sizes
with optimum zeta potentials and high entrapment efciencies respectively.
In vitro drug release studies showed that both the TET-CNP and TET-NP
212

perpetuated the drug entity much better than tetrandrineoccular solutions (TET-SOL). In the PKs investigations, the AUC values of TET-CNP and TET-NP were almost two-fold greater than that of TET-SOL; the Cmax values of TET-CNP and TET-NP were also almost two and a half fold greater than that of the TET-SOL respectively. Cytotoxicity study revealed that TET-CNP
and TET-NP had no signicant cytotoxicity at minimum amounts. Flow
cytometry studies and confocal microscopy analysis showed that calcein labeled NP (CA-NP) uptake by SRA 01/04 cells was much greater than those of calcein labeled CNP (CA-CNP) and calcein solution (CA-SOL).
Liu et al. (2011) prepared and evaluated the solid lipid nanoparticles of baicalin (BA-SLN) for ocular delivery. The method used to prepare BA-SLN
was also an emulsication/ultrasonication technique. The advent of BA-SLN
was assessed by the negative stain technique. The key physical param­eters mean diameter and zeta potential of BA-SLN were evaluated using a
Zetasizer. Another key feature entrapment efciency of BA-SLN was also
measured by using Sephadex-G50 column. Solid-state characterization of BA-SLN was performed by DSC and X-ray studies. The in-vitro drug release from BA-SLN was estimated using dialysis bag diffusion method. Isolated rabbit corneas were used to assess the effects of SLN on corneal perme­ability of baicalin. The in-vivo ocular irritation test for prepared BA-SLN was carried out on rabbits and the intensity of irritation to rabbit eye after application of the above nanoparticles was examined observing pathological sections of rabbit eye. The PKs studies were performed by microdialysis in the rabbit aqueous humors. The results revealed that the BA-SLN had a good particle size distribution with a positive zeta potential and the good entrapment efciency. In vitro drug release studies clearly showed that the BA-SLN retained the drug entity better than the baicalin ophthalmic solutions (BA-SOL). In the PKs studies, the AUC value of BA-SLN was four-fold versus the BA-SOL, and the Cmax value of BA-SLN versus the

phospholipid units both the hydrophilic and hydrophobic drug molecules accessing their delivery to the targeted sites (Peptu et al., 2015). Phospha­tidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylserine (PS), Soya phosphatidylcholine, and Phosphatidylethanolamine, containing indistinguishable nature with the lipid present on the surface of the cell membrane, generally opted for liposomal preparations that lead to enhance pre-corneal absorption (Agarwal et al.,
2016). The newer generation surface-modified liposomes possessing both mucoadhesive and improved penetration properties, not only capable of entrapping the therapeutic agent but can also aims to specific sites through corneal binding (Fangueiro et al., 2016).
