RESUMO

Introduction: Although there is an abnormal presentation of Niacin Response Syndrome (ANRS) in schizophrenic patients (SZ) compared to subjects with other psychiatric illnesses and with healthy individuals. However, most of the literature is based on studies that have used tests of niacin topical administration, observing, on the other hand, less scientific production of its oral administration. The objective was to determine the sensitivity of the oral niacin test as a method of detecting ASRN in EZ. Methods: A non-randomized clinical trial was carried out. Two groups were formed, the experimental or SZ, with 21 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia according to DSM-IV-TR SZ or schizoaffective disorder, and the HC group, made up of 20 healthy controls. Both groups were exposed to an oral niacin test and clinical-semiological tools were applied to evaluate the NRS. Results: 90.5% of the SZ group presented ANRS. In contrast, no participant in the HC group presented ANRS (0%). Conclusions: Oral niacin administration was sensitive to the detection of ASRN in schizophrenia. Likewise, ASRN could be a gradual phenomenon and its prevalence could be dose-dependent, being lower the lower the dose of oral niacin used. Further trials with larger and randomized samples will be needed.


Introducción: En pacientes esquizofrénicos (EZ) existe un síndrome de respuesta a niacina (ASRN) anormal en comparación con sujetos con otras enfermedades psiquiátricas y con individuos sanos. Sin embargo, la mayor parte de la literatura se basa en estudios que han utilizado pruebas de niacina por vía tópica, observándose, en cambio, menor cantidad de ensayos utilizando su administración por vía oral, a pesar de existir algunas ventajas comparativas con el uso de esta última vía. El objetivo fue determinar la sensibilidad de la prueba de niacina por vía oral como método de detección del ASRN en EZ. Metodología: Se realizó un ensayo clínico no aleatorizado, conformando dos grupos, el grupo experimental o EZ, con 21 pacientes con diagnóstico de esquizofrenia según DSM-IV-TR SZ o trastorno esquizoafectivo, y el grupo CS, constituido por 20 controles sanos. Ambos grupos fueron expuestos a la prueba de niacina por vía oral y se aplicaron herramientas clínico-semiológicas para evaluar el SRN. Resultados: La prevalencia de ASRN fue del 90,5% en el grupo EZ, mientras que en el grupo CS fue nula (0%). Conclusiones: La administración oral de niacina fue sensible a la detección de ASRN en la esquizofrenia. Asimismo, la ASRN podría ser un fenómeno gradual y su prevalencia podría ser dosis-dependiente, siendo menor cuanto menor sea la dosis de niacina oral utilizada. Se necesitarán ensayos adicionales con muestras de mayor tamaño y aleatorizadas.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The oral route is the most frequently used and the most convenient route of drug administration since it has several advantages, such as ease of use, patient compliance, and better costeffectiveness. However, physicochemical and biopharmaceutical limitations of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) hinder suitability for this route, including degradation in the gastrointestinal tract, low intestinal permeability, and low bioavailability. To overcome these problems, while maintaining therapeutic efficacy, polymeric nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention for their ability to increase drug solubility, promote the controlled release, and improve stability. In addition, the functionalization of nanocarriers can increase uptake and accumulation at the target site of action, and intestinal absorption, making it possible to obtain more viable, safe and efficient treatments for oral administration. OBJECTIVE: This systematic review aimed to seek recent advances in the literature on the use of polymeric nanoparticles functionalization to increase intestinal permeability of APIs that are intended for oral administration. METHODS: Two bibliographic databases were consulted (PubMed and ScienceDirect). The selected publications and the writing of this systematic review were based on the guidelines mentioned in the PRISMA statement. RESULTS: Out of a total of 3036 studies, 22 studies were included in this article based on our eligibility criteria. The results were consistent for the application of nanoparticle functionalization to increase intestinal permeability. CONCLUSION: The functionalized polymeric nanoparticles can be considered as carrier systems that improve the intestinal permeability and bioavailability of APIs, with the potential to result, in the future, in the development of oral medicines.
