Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Personalized medicine, also known as precision medicine, represents a flourishing field of research in the medical and pharmaceutical fields. It refers to the customization of medical treatments to the individual characteristics, needs, and preferences of each person and the choice of appropriate therapies for specific groups of patients affected by the same disease. This approach overcomes the concept of “one-size-fits-all” by proposing the administration of the “right drug” in its “right quantity” for the “right patient” at the “right time”. To achieve this goal, there is a need to develop novel medications tailored to the patient’s condition, which they can be termed as “personalized drug formulations”.

This topic covers any aspect related to the tailored drug therapy regarding formulations and dosage forms in a multidisciplinary context.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this topic, which aims to highlight the latest advances in personalized drug formulations, with particular emphasis on innovative approaches that address the current challenges in this research area. All manuscript submissions are welcome.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a significant global health concern, affecting approximately 50% of the world’s population and leading to gastric ulcers, gastritis, and gastric cancer. The increase in antibiotic resistance has compromised the efficacy of existing therapeutic regimens, necessitating novel approaches for effective eradication. This study aimed to develop a targeted liposomal drug delivery system incorporating furazolidone and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to enhance mucopenetration and improve Helicobacter pylori eradication. Liposomes were formulated with furazolidone, NAC, and Pluronic F-127 using a modified reverse-phase evaporation technique. The formulations were categorized based on charge as neutral, negative, and positive and tested for mucopenetration using a modified silicon tube method with coumarin-6 as a fluorescent marker. The encapsulation efficiency and particle size were analyzed using HPLC and an Izon q-nano particle size analyzer. The results indicated that charged liposomes showed a higher encapsulation efficiency than neutral liposomes with Pluronic F-127. Notably, combining furazolidone with 1% NAC achieved complete eradication of H. pylori in 2.5 h, compared to six hours without NAC. The findings of this study suggest that incorporating NAC and Pluronic F-127 into liposomal formulations significantly enhances mucopenetration and antimicrobial efficacy. Full article
