Selection of excipients for Ethosome Formulations of Imiquimod through Drug–excipient Compatibility testing for Skin Cancer: A Pre-Formulation Study Bharti Choudhary, Jitendra Banweer Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology, 2026 Skin cancer is a prevalent global issue, with traditional therapies often lacking drug penetration and bioavailability. Ethosomes, lipid-based vesicles, offer a promising solution for transdermal drug delivery, encapsulating both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs and providing superior skin penetration. Imiquimod, an immune response modifier, is commonly used to treat non-melanoma skin cancers, but its effectiveness is hindered by poor skin penetration and local irritation. Ethosomal formulations offer an innovative approach to improve the bioavailability and therapeutic effect of Imiquimod by facilitating deeper skin penetration and sustained release. The development of ethosomes requires the careful selection of excipients that are compatible with both the drug and the delivery system. In this study, Phosphatidylcholine, Ethanol, and Propylene Glycol were chosen as excipients for the formulation of Imiquimod-loaded ethosomes. Phosphatidylcholine serves as the key phospholipid for vesicle formation, while Ethanol and Propylene Glycol act as solvents and penetration enhancers. Imiquimod's compatibility with excipients was investigated utilizing methods such as DSC, FTIR, XRD, and UV to identify any possible interactions. The results confirmed that Imiquimod is compatible with Phosphatidylcholine, Ethanol, and Propylene Glycol, with no significant chemical interactions. This indicates the suitability of these excipients for the future development of Imiquimod-loaded ethosomal formulations for the treatment of skin cancer, ensuring both stability and enhanced therapeutic efficacy.
Therapeutic Potential Of Nyctanthes Arbor Tristis In The Treatment Of Rheumatoid Arthritis Gauri Bhivshet, Jitendra Banweer International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology, 2026 Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a progressive autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic joint inflammation, cartilage degradation, and elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines. The current study investigates the therapeutic potential of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis (NAT) using compiled secondary data from phytochemical, in-vitro, in-vivo, and in-silico studies. Analysis of existing literature revealed that NAT contains iridoid glycosides, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and terpenoids that contribute to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties. Animal-model evidence demonstrates significant reductions in paw edema (42–65%), suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, and enhancement of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, catalase, and glutathione. Structural joint protection, including reduced synovial hyperplasia and preserved cartilage, further supports its therapeutic relevance. A comparison with conventional RA drugs indicates that while synthetic medications offer stronger immediate cytokine suppression, they are associated with adverse effects and high cost. NAT, however, provides a safer, multi-target, low-cost alternative suitable for long-term management. Overall, this review consolidates evidence supporting NAT as a promising adjunct or complementary therapeutic option in RA management.
Impact of Vitex Nigunda Linn on the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis Gauri Bhivshet, Dr. Jitendra Banweer International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology, 2025 Vitex negundo Linn (family Verbenaceae), commonly known as Nirgundi, is a medicinal plant extensively used in traditional Ayurvedic systems for treating inflammatory and rheumatic disorders. This review combines recent scientific data on its pharmacological, biochemical, and clinical potential in the management of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). This plant has a wide variety of therapeutic effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, analgesic, and immunomodulatory effects mainly inhibited by COX, LOX, TNF-α, IL-1β and NF-κB signaling pathways. The therapeutic benefits are attributed to bioactive compounds such as casticin, negundoside and luteolin contributing to the multi-targeted therapeutic paradigm. The pre-clinical applicability is attractive and is associated with a clinically meaningful beneficial impact on joint inflammation, oxidative stress, and cytokine balance and safety confirmed with positive toxicology. The limitations are in clinical validation and standardization. The way forward would be to focus on multi-centric clinical studies and mechanistic studies using medical-omics approaches to better understand the favorable outcomes of V. negundo, including innovative formulations to optimize bioavailability and reproducibility. Overall, V. negundo Linn is defined as a multifaceted complementary or adjunct treatment option for the management of RA, bridging traditional knowledge with contemporary pharmacology.
A Review on Liposomes as Novel Drug Delivery System Bharti Choudhary, Jitendra Banweer Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology, 2025 Liposomes, spherical vesicles made of phospholipids and cholesterol, are a potential drug delivery mechanism due to their large size, hydrophobic and lipophilic properties. They exhibit high biocompatibility and stability, allowing for the encapsulation of both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs. Their amphiphatic structure allows for regulated drug release within their compartments. Liposomes are used in treating various ailments like tumors and cancer. This comprehensive review of the Liposomal Drug Delivery System explores various aspects related to liposomes.
Formulation and Characterization of Niosomal Gel for Topical Treatment of Psoriasis , Mansi Gupta, Sarika Shrivastava, , Jitendra Banweer, and International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology, 2025 The aim of the research work was to formulate and characterize the Calcipotriol loaded niosomal gel for the topical treatment of psoriasis through application of different polymers. Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition in which the skin develops areas that become thick and covered with silvery scales. For psoriasis treatment, topical application is preferred in spite of other dosage form. Use of Fourier transform infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) showed that Calcipotriol was compatible with other excipients in terms of its physical and chemical nature. The gels formulated were analysed for their viscosity, extruding potential, drug content, test of skin irritation, pH of final formulation, along with its stability and invitro diffusion profile. The process includes the release of Calcipotriol from all prepared formulations by using dialysis membrane in the pH 6.8 phosphate buffer at 37°C temperature. This characterization study allowed to select the optimized batch from among the formulations prepared. From the data gathered it was ascertained that Calcipotriol has the potential in being used in gel formulation for the therapeutic management of psoriasis.

Osmotically controlled drug delivery system with associated drugs Brahma Prakash Gupta, Navneet Thakur, Nishi P Jain, Jitendra Banweer, Surendra Jain Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2010 Conventional drug delivery systems have slight control over their drug release and almost no control over the effective concentration at the target site. This kind of dosing pattern may result in constantly changing, unpredictable plasma concentrations. Drugs can be delivered in a controlled pattern over a long period of time by the controlled or modified release drug delivery systems. They include dosage forms for oral and transdermal administration as well as injectable and implantable systems. For most of drugs, oral route remains as the most acceptable route of administration. Certain molecules may have low oral bioavailability because of solubility or permeability limitations. Development of an extended release dosage form also requires reasonable absorption throughout the gastro-intestinal tract (GIT). Among the available techniques to improve the bioavailability of these drugs fabrication of osmotic drug delivery system is the most appropriate one. Osmotic drug delivery systems release the drug with the zero order kinetics which does not depend on the initial concentration and the physiological factors of GIT. This review brings out new technologies, fabrication and recent clinical research in osmotic drug delivery.
