The present work aimed to improve the bioavailability of terbutaline sulphate (TS) and to prolong its nasal residence time for the treatment of asthma.
Chitosan/pectin polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles (CS/PC) were prepared by ionic gelation method and coated with phospholipid (PL) and then incorporated into optimised thermosensitive in situ gel.
The optimal PL-coated nanoparticle formulation (LP1) showed the smallest particle size (345.5 nm), the highest zeta potential (32.9 mV) and the greatest percent drug released after 6 h (71%). The optimum in situ gel loaded with LP1 (NG3) showed three times greater permeation through nasal mucosa than aqueous solution of TS and revealed about 94% and 92% of the effect of IV injection of drug solution on tidal volume and peak expiratory flow in histamine treated rats, respectively.
The developed PL-coated CS/PC/in situ gel could be considered as a promising intranasal formulation of TS for asthma management.
本研究旨在提高硫酸特布他林(TS)的生物利用度,并延长其在鼻腔中的驻留时间,以治疗哮喘。
采用离子凝胶法制备壳聚糖/果胶聚电解质复合纳米粒(CS/PC),并用磷脂(PL)进行包覆,然后将其包埋于优化的温敏原位凝胶中。
最优的 PL 包覆纳米粒制剂(LP1)具有最小的粒径(345.5nm)、最高的 Zeta 电位(32.9mV)和最大的 6h 药物累积释放率(71%)。载有 LP1 的最优原位凝胶(NG3)显示出比 TS 水溶液高 3 倍的鼻腔黏膜透过性,并且在组胺处理的大鼠中分别显示出约 94%和 92%的 IV 注射药物溶液对潮气量和呼气峰流速的作用。
所开发的 PL 包覆 CS/PC/原位凝胶可被视为一种有前途的 TS 鼻腔给药制剂,用于哮喘管理。
