To formulate and evaluate solid-reversed-micellar-solution (SRMS)-based solid lipid microparticles (SLMs) for intramuscular administration of gentamicin.
SRMS formulated with Phospholipon® 90G and Softisan® 154 were used to prepare gentamicin-loaded SLMs. Characterizations based on size and morphology, stability and encapsulation efficiency (EE%) were carried out on the SLMs. In vitro release of gentamicin from the SLMs was performed in phosphate buffer while in vivo release studies were conducted in rats.
Maximum EE% of 90.0, 91.6 and 83.0% were obtained for SLMs formed with SRMS 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1, respectively. Stable, spherical and smooth SLMs of size range 9.80 ± 1.46 µm to 33.30 ± 6.42 µm were produced. The release of gentamicin in phosphate buffer varied widely with the lipid contents. Moreover, significant (p < 0.05) amount of gentamicin was released in vivo from the SLMs.
SRMS-based SLMs would likely offer a reliable means of delivering gentamicin intramuscularly.
制备并评价基于固相反胶束溶液(SRMS)的硫酸庆大霉素固体脂质微球(SLMs),用于肌肉内给药。
采用 Phospholipon® 90G 和 Softisan® 154 制备 SRMS,用于制备硫酸庆大霉素载药 SLMs。对 SLMs 进行粒径和形态、稳定性以及包封效率(EE%)的特征分析。在磷酸盐缓冲液中进行硫酸庆大霉素的体外释放研究,在大鼠体内进行释放研究。
采用 SRMS 1:1、1:2 和 2:1 制备的 SLMs 的最大 EE%分别为 90.0%、91.6%和 83.0%。制得的 SLMs 稳定、呈球形且表面光滑,粒径范围为 9.80±1.46μm 至 33.30±6.42μm。在磷酸盐缓冲液中,硫酸庆大霉素的释放情况因脂质含量而异。此外,SLMs 体内显著(p<0.05)释放了硫酸庆大霉素。
基于 SRMS 的 SLMs 可能为肌肉内给予硫酸庆大霉素提供一种可靠的方法。
