Fungal infections of the paranasal cavity are among the most widely spread illnesses nowadays. The aim of the current study was to estimate the effectiveness of an in situ gel loaded with voriconazole‒clove oil nano-transferosomes (VRC-CO-NT) in enhancing the activity of voriconazole against , which causes rhinosinusitis. The nephrotoxic side effects of voriconazole may be reduced through the incorporation of the clove oil, which has antioxidant activity that protects tissue. The Box‒Behnken design was applied to formulate the VRC-CO-NT. The particle size, entrapment efficiency, antifungal inhibition zone, and serum creatinine concentration were considered dependent variables, and the soybean lecithin, VRC, and CO concentrations were considered independent ones. The final optimized formulation was loaded into a deacetylated gellan gum base and evaluated for its gelation, rheological properties, drug release profile, permeation capabilities, and in vivo nephrotoxicity. The optimum formulation was determined to be composed of 50 mg/mL lecithin, 18 mg/mL VRC, and 75 mg/mL CO, with a minimum particle size of 102.96 nm, an entrapment efficiency of 71.70%, an inhibition zone of 21.76 mm, and a serum creatinine level of 0.119 mmol/L. The optimized loaded in situ gel released 82.5% VRC after 12 hours and resulted in a 5.4-fold increase in drug permeation. The in vivo results obtained using rabbits resulted in a nonsignificant differentiation among the renal function parameters compared with the negative control group. In conclusion, nasal in situ gel loaded with VRC-CO-NT is considered an efficient novel carrier with enhanced antifungal properties with no signs of nephrotoxicity.
鼻窦腔真菌感染是当今最广泛传播的疾病之一。本研究旨在评估载伏立康唑-丁香油纳米传递体(VRC-CO-NT)原位凝胶对引起鼻窦炎的真菌的增效作用。通过加入具有抗氧化活性的丁香油,可以减少伏立康唑的肾毒性副作用,保护组织。采用 Box-Behnken 设计来制备 VRC-CO-NT。粒径、包封效率、抗真菌抑制圈和血清肌酐浓度被视为因变量,而大豆卵磷脂、VRC 和 CO 浓度被视为自变量。最终的优化配方被载入脱乙酰化结冷胶基质中,并对其凝胶化、流变学特性、药物释放曲线、渗透能力和体内肾毒性进行评估。最优配方被确定为含有 50mg/mL 大豆卵磷脂、18mg/mL VRC 和 75mg/mL CO,粒径最小为 102.96nm,包封效率为 71.70%,抑制圈为 21.76mm,血清肌酐水平为 0.119mmol/L。优化后的载药原位凝胶在 12 小时内释放了 82.5%的 VRC,药物渗透增加了 5.4 倍。用兔子进行的体内实验结果与阴性对照组相比,肾功能参数无明显差异。总之,载有 VRC-CO-NT 的鼻腔原位凝胶被认为是一种具有增强抗真菌特性且无肾毒性迹象的新型有效载体。
