The aim of this investigation was to examine the efficacy of PhytoSolve and Phosal-based formulation (PBF) to enhance the oral bioavailability of mebudipine, which is a poorly water-soluble calcium channel blocker. The solubility of mebudipine in various oils was determined. PhytoSolve was prepared with a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil (20%), soybean phospholipids (5%), and a 70% fructose solution (75%). The influence of the weight ratio of Phosal 50PG to glycerol in PBF on the mean globule size was studied with dynamic light scattering. The optimized formulation was evaluated for robustness toward dilution, transparency, droplet size, and zeta potential. The in vivo oral absorption of different mebudipine formulations (PhytoSolve, PBF, oily solution, and suspension) were evaluated in rats. The optimized PBF contained Phosal 50PG/glycerol in a 6:4 ratio (w/w). The PBF and PhytoSolve formulations were miscible with water in any ratio and did not demonstrate any phase separation or drug precipitation over 1 month of storage. The mean particle size of PhytoSolve and PBF were 138.5 ± 9.0 and 74.4 ± 2.5 nm, respectively. The in vivo study demonstrated that the oral bioavailability of PhytoSolve and PBF in rats was significantly higher than that of the other formulations. The PhytoSolve and PBF formulations of mebudipine are found to be more bioavailable compared with suspension and oily solutions during an in vivo study in rats. These formulations might be new alternative carriers that increase the oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble molecules, such as mebudipine.
本研究旨在考察 PhytoSolve 和基于 Phosal 的制剂 (PBF) 提高米贝地尔口服生物利用度的效果,米贝地尔是一种水溶性差的钙通道阻滞剂。测定了米贝地尔在各种油中的溶解度。PhytoSolve 由中链甘油三酯 (MCT) 油 (20%)、大豆磷脂 (5%) 和 70%果糖溶液 (75%) 制成。用动态光散射法研究了 PBF 中 Phosal 50PG 与甘油的重量比对平均液滴大小的影响。优化后的制剂用于评估其对稀释、透明度、液滴大小和 zeta 电位的稳健性。在大鼠体内评价了不同米贝地尔制剂 (PhytoSolve、PBF、油性溶液和混悬剂) 的口服吸收情况。优化的 PBF 中 Phosal 50PG/甘油的重量比为 6:4。PBF 和 PhytoSolve 制剂可与水以任意比例混合,在 1 个月的储存期内不会出现相分离或药物沉淀。PhytoSolve 和 PBF 的平均粒径分别为 138.5 ± 9.0 和 74.4 ± 2.5 nm。体内研究表明,PhytoSolve 和 PBF 在大鼠体内的口服生物利用度明显高于其他制剂。在大鼠体内研究中,与混悬液和油性溶液相比,米贝地尔的 PhytoSolve 和 PBF 制剂具有更高的生物利用度。这些制剂可能是增加米贝地尔等水溶性差的分子口服生物利用度的新的替代载体。
