INTRODUCTION: Fungal keratitis (FK) remains a severe sight-threatening disease, and case management is difficult due to ocular intrinsic barriers and drug shortages. Econazole (ECZ), a broad-spectrum antifungal agent, is limited in ocular applications due to the poor water solubility and strong irritant property. METHODS: We successfully prepared solid-lipid nanoparticle-based ECZ eye drops (E-SLNs) by microemulsion method, and the physicochemical properties of E-SLNs were investigated. Corneal permeability, antifungal ability against spp., irritation and bioavailability compared to ECZ Suspension (E-Susp) were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS: E-SLNs were a uniform and stable system which had an average particle size of 19 nm and a spherical morphology. E-SLNs also exhibited controlled release, enhanced antifungal activity without irritation. The pharmacokinetic analysis in vivo confirmed that E-SLNs showed an improved ocular bioavailability and the drug concentration in the cornea were above minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for 3 h after single administration. CONCLUSION: The E-SLNs colloid system is a promising therapeutic approach for fungal keratitis and could serve as a candidate strategy for other ocular diseases.
简介:真菌性角膜炎(FK)仍然是一种严重的致盲性疾病,由于眼内固有屏障和药物短缺,病例管理较为困难。由于水溶性差和刺激性强,广谱抗真菌药物酮康唑(ECZ)在眼部应用中受到限制。 方法:我们成功地通过微乳法制备了基于固体脂质纳米粒的酮康唑滴眼液(E-SLNs),并对 E-SLNs 的理化性质进行了研究。在体外和体内评估了 E-SLNs 与酮康唑混悬液(E-Susp)相比的角膜通透性、对 属真菌的抗真菌能力、刺激性和生物利用度。 结果:E-SLNs 是一种均匀稳定的系统,平均粒径为 19nm,呈球形形态。E-SLNs 还表现出控制释放、增强的抗真菌活性而无刺激性。体内药代动力学分析证实,E-SLNs 提高了眼部生物利用度,单次给药后 3 小时内,角膜中的药物浓度均高于最低抑菌浓度(MIC)。 结论:E-SLNs 胶体系统是治疗真菌性角膜炎的一种有前途的治疗方法,也可能成为其他眼部疾病的候选策略。
