Pharmaceutics 2019; 11:pharmaceutics11110609. [PMID: 31766305 PMCID: PMC6920749 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics11110609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 56] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2019] [Revised: 10/31/2019] [Accepted: 11/13/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Tissue repair and wound healing are complex processes that involve inflammation, granulation, and remodeling of the tissue. The potential of various statins including atorvastatin (ATR) to improve the wound healing effect was established. The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate the efficacy of topical application of ATR-based nanoemulgel on wound healing. The prepared formulations (ATR gel, ATR emulgel, and ATR nanoemulgel) were evaluated for their physical appearance, rheological behavior, in vitro drug release and ex vivo drug permeation. The in vivo wound healing effect was evaluated in wound-induced rats. The prepared ATR gel formulations showed good physical properties and were comparable. The release profiles of drugs from gel, emulgel, and nanoemulgel were distinct. Skin permeation potential of ATR was significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced when formulated into nanoemulgel. In vivo wound healing studies showed that ATR nanoemulgel exhibited the highest percent wound contraction. Histopathological assessment showed marked improvement in the skin histological architecture after 21 days of ATR nanoemulgel treatment. In conclusion, the data demonstrated here signify the prospective of ATR nanoemulgel as an innovative therapeutic approach in wound healing.

Abstract
Increasing resistance to current fungicides is a clinical problem that leads to the need for new treatment strategies. Clove oil (CO) has already been described as having antifungal action. However, it should not be applied directly to the skin as it may be irritating. One option for CO delivery and suitable topical application would be nanoemulsions (NEs). NEs have advantages such as decreased irritant effects and lower dose use. The purpose of this work was the development of NEs containing CO and in vitro evaluation against Candida albicans and Candida glabrata. The NEs were produced by an ultrasonic processor with different proportions of CO and Pluronic® F-127. In order to determine the best composition and ultrasound amplitude, an experimental design was performed. For the evaluation, droplet size and polydispersity index (PdI) were used. After the stability study, in vitro activity against C. albicans and C. glabrata was evaluated. NEs selected for the stability study, with diameter <40 nm and PdI <0.2, remained stable for 420 d. Activity against Candida spp. was improved when the CO was nanoemulsified, for it possibly leads to a better interaction between the active and the microorganisms, mainly in C. albicans.

Abstract
Hypothesis Alpha-mangostin (AMG) is a natural compound possessing strong antibacterial activity. Because of its poor water solubility, the formulations of AMG usually require high concentrations of solubilizers leading limitation for using in some clinical applications. Thus, the novel formulation of topical nanoemulsion (NE) containing AMG (AMG-NE) with optimal content of the oil phase and surfactants was developed. Experiments AMG was extracted, purified and used as an active ingredient of AMG-NE. Blank NEs (NEs without AMG) with varying in contents of the oil phase and surfactants and AMG-NE were prepared by the ultrasonication technique. They were investigated their physicochemical properties including antibacterial activity against Staphyloccocus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes (which is recently renamed as Cutibacterium acnes). Findings Blank NEs and AMG-NE had droplet size in a range of nanometer and negative value of zeta potential. The droplet size, polydispersity index and zeta potential of blank NEs were affected by formulation compositions and sonication intensities. AMG could be loaded into a representative Blank NE at a maximum concentration of 0.2% w/w and did not cause significant changes in physicochemical properties. AMG-NE showed the antibacterial activity against Staphyloccocus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes without toxicity to the skin cells. Therefore, AMG-NE had potential for using in a clinical study to investigate its efficacy and safety in patients.

Abstract
Advancements in biotechnology and protein engineering expand the availability of various therapeutic proteins including vaccines, antibodies, hormones, and growth factors. In addition, protein drugs hold many therapeutic advantages over small synthetic drugs in terms of high specificity and activity. This has led to further R&D investment in protein-based drug products and an increased number of drug approvals for therapeutic proteins. However, there are many biological and biopharmaceutical obstacles inherent to protein drugs including physicochemical and enzymatic destabilization, which limit their development and clinical application. Therefore, effective formulations of therapeutic proteins are needed to overcome the various physicochemical and biological barriers. In current medical practice, protein drugs are predominantly available in injectable formulations, which have disadvantages including pain, the possibility of infection, high cost, and low patient compliance. Consequently, non-invasive drug delivery systems for therapeutic proteins have gained great attention in the research and development of biomedicines. Therefore, this review covers the various formulation approaches to optimizing the delivery properties of protein drugs with an emphasis on improving bioavailability and patient compliance. It provides a comprehensive update on recent advancements in nanotechnologies with regard to non-invasive protein drug delivery systems, which is also categorized by the route of administrations including oral, nasal, transdermal, pulmonary, ocular, and rectal delivery systems.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanomaterials for bioprobe and drug carrier have drawn great attention for their applications in the early monitoring the progression and treatment of cancers. In this work, we have developed new multifunctional water-soluble NaLnF4@MOF-Ln nanocomposites with dual-mode luminescence, which is based on stokes luminescent mesoporous lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (MOFs-Y:Eu3+) and anti-stokes luminescent NaYF4:Tm3+/Yb3+ nanoparticles. The fluorescence mechanism and dynamics are investigated and the applications of these nanocomposites as bioprobes and drug carriers in the cancer imaging and treatment are explored. Our results demonstrate that these nanocomposites with the excellent two-color emission show great potential in drug delivery, cancer cell imaging, and treatment, which are attributed to the unique spatial structure and good biocompatibility characteristics of NaLnF4@MOF-Ln nanocomposites.

Abstract
A nanoemulsion with a porphyrin shell (NewPS) was created by the self-assembly of porphyrin salt around an oil core. The NewPS system has excellent colloidal stability, is amenable to different porphyrin salts and oils, and is capable of co-loading with chemotherapeutics. The porphyrin salt shell enables porphyrin-dependent optical tunability. The NewPS consisting of pyropheophorbide a mono-salt has a porphyrin shell of ordered J-aggregates, which produced a narrow, red-shifted Q-band with increased absorbance. Upon nanostructure dissociation, the fluorescence and photodynamic reactivity of the porphyrin monomers are restored. The spectrally distinct photoacoustic imaging (at 715 nm by intact NewPS) and fluorescence increase (at 671 nm by disrupted NewPS) allow the monitoring of NewPS accumulation and disruption in mice bearing KB tumors to guide effective photodynamic therapy. Substituting the oil core with Lipiodol affords additional CT contrast, whereas loading paclitaxel into NewPS facilitates drug delivery.

Abstract
Nanoemulsion drug delivery systems are advanced modes for delivering and improving the bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs and the drug which have high first pass metabolism. The nanoemulsion can be prepared by both high energy and low energy methods. High energy method includes high-pressure homogenization, microfluidization, and ultrasonication whereas low energy methods include the phase inversion emulsification method and the self-nanoemulsification method. Low energy methods should be preferred over high energy methods as these methods require less energy, so are more efficient and do not require any sophisticated instruments. However high energy methods are more favorable for food grade emulsion as they require lower quantities of surfactant than low energy methods. Techniques for formulation of nanoemulsion drug delivery system are overlapping in nature, especially in the case of low energy methods. In this review, we have classified different methods for formulation of nanoemulsion systems based on energy requirements, nature of phase inversion, and self-emulsification.

Abstract
On account of the advantages of transdermal delivery and the application situation of transcutaneous technology in transdermal delivery, the article critically comments on nanosystems as permeation enhancement model. Nanosystems possess great potential for transcutaneous drug delivery. This review focuses on recent advances in lipid-based nanocarriers, including liposome, transfersomes, ethosomes, nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers and combination application of the lipid-based nanocarriers with microneedle, iontophoresis, electroporation and sonophoresis in the field for the development of the transdermal drug delivery system. We attempted to give an overview of lipid-based nanocarriers with the aim to improve transdermal and dermal drug delivery. A special focus is given to the nanocarrier composition, characteristic and interaction mechanisms through the skin. Recent combination applications of lipid-based nanocarriers with the physical penetration technology demonstrate the superiority of the combined use of nanocarriers and physical methods in drug penetration enhancement compared to their single use. In the future, lipidbased nanocarriers will play a greater role in the field of transdermal and dermal drug delivery.

Preparation and in vivo evaluation of a topical hydrogel system incorporating highly skin-permeable growth factors, quercetin, and oxygen carriers for enhanced diabetic wound-healing therapy. Int J Nanomedicine 2019; 14:5449-5475. [PMID: 31409998 PMCID: PMC6647010 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s213883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2019] [Accepted: 06/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE We created and evaluated an enhanced topical delivery system featuring a combination of highly skin-permeable growth factors (GFs), quercetin (QCN), and oxygen; these synergistically accelerated re-epithelialization and granulation tissue formation of/in diabetic wounds by increasing the levels of GFs and antioxidants, and the oxygen partial pressure, at the wound site. METHODS To enhance the therapeutic effects of exogenous administration of GFs for the treatment of diabetic wounds, we prepared highly skin-permeable GF complexes comprised of epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), platelet-derived growth factor-A (PDGF-A), and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), genetically attached, via the N-termini, to a low-molecular-weight protamine (LMWP) to form LMWP-EGF, LMWP-IGF-I, LMWP-PDGF-A, and LMWP-bFGF, respectively. Furthermore, quercetin (QCN)- and oxygen-carrying 1-bromoperfluorooctane (PFOB)-loaded nanoemulsions (QCN-NE and OXY-PFOB-NE) were developed to improve the topical delivery of QCN and oxygen, respectively. After confirming the enhanced penetration of LMWP-GFs, QCN-NE, and oxygen delivered from OXY-PFOB-NE across human epidermis, we evaluated the effects of combining LMWP-GFs, QCN-NE, and OXY-PFOB-NE on proliferation of keratinocytes and fibroblasts, and the chronic wound closure rate of a diabetic mouse model. RESULTS The optimal ratios of LMWP-EGF, LMWP-IGF-I, LMWP-PDGF-A, LMWP-bFGF, QCN-NE, and OXY-PFOB-NE were 1, 1, 0.02, 0.02, 0.2, and 60, respectively. Moreover, a Carbopol hydrogel containing LMWP-GFs, QCN-NE, and OXY-PFOB-NE (LMWP-GFs/QCN-NE/OXY-PFOB-NE-GEL) significantly improved scratch-wound recovery of keratinocytes and fibroblasts in vitro compared to that afforded by hydrogels containing each component alone. LMWP-GFs/QCN-NE/OXY-PFOB-NE-GEL significantly accelerated wound-healing in a diabetic mouse model, decreasing wound size by 54 and 35% compared to the vehicle and LMWP-GFs, respectively. CONCLUSION LMWP-GFs/QCN-NE/OXY-PFOB-NE-GEL synergistically accelerated the healing of chronic wounds, exerting both rapid and prolonged effects.

Nanoemulsion: A Review on Mechanisms for the Transdermal Delivery of Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Drugs. Sci Pharm 2019.

Abstract
Nanoemulsions (NEs) are colloidal dispersions of two immiscible liquids, oil and water, in which one is dispersed in the other with the aid of a surfactant/co-surfactant mixture, either forming oil-in-water (o/w) or water-in-oil (w/o) nanodroplets systems, with droplets 20–200 nm in size. NEs are easy to prepare and upscale, and they show high variability in their components. They have proven to be very viable, non-invasive, and cost-effective nanocarriers for the enhanced transdermal delivery of a wide range of active compounds that tend to metabolize heavily or suffer from undesirable side effects when taken orally. In addition, the anti-microbial and anti-viral properties of NE components, leading to preservative-free formulations, make NE a very attractive approach for transdermal drug delivery. This review focuses on how NEs mechanistically deliver both lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs through skin layers to reach the blood stream, exerting the desired therapeutic effect. It highlights the mechanisms and strategies executed to effectively deliver drugs, both with o/w and w/o NE types, through the transdermal way. However, the mechanisms reported in the literature are highly diverse, to the extent that a definite mechanism is not conclusive.

Abstract
Despite many available approaches for transdermal drug delivery, patient compliance and drug targeting at the desired concentration are still concerns for effective therapies. Precise and efficient film-forming systems provide great potential for controlling drug delivery through the skin with the combined advantages of films and hydrogels. The associated disadvantages of both systems (films and hydrogels) will be overcome in film-forming systems. Different strategies have been designed to control drug release through the skin, including changes to film-forming polymers, plasticizers, additives or even model drugs in formulations. In the current review, we aim to discuss the recent advances in film-forming systems to provide the principles and review the methods of these systems as applied to controlled drug release. Advances in the design of film-forming systems open a new generation of these systems.

Abstract
Background: Sulconazole (SCZ) is a broad-spectrum transdermally administered anti-fungicidal agent. However, the therapeutic effect of SCZ is generally limited by its poor water solubility. This present study aimed to develop and evaluate sulconazole-loaded nanoemulsions (SCZ-NEs) for enhancement of the transdermal permeation and antifungal activity. Methods: A spontaneous titration method was applied to prepare the SCZ-NEs. And the optimized formulation of SCZ-NEs was screened by central composite design (CCD). In addition, the characteristics of the SCZ-NEs were evaluated, including particle size, zeta potential, drug loading (DL%) and encapsulation efficiency (EE%). The morphology of SCZ-NEs was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Franz diffusion cells were used to evaluate the transdermal permeability of the SCZ-NEs. The antifungal activity of the SCZ-NEs was measured by a zone of inhibition (ZOI) test. Results: The optimized SCZ-NEs possessed a moderate particle size of 52.3±3.8 nm, zeta potential of 23.3±1.2 mV, DL% of 0.47±0.05% and EE% of 87.1±3.2%. The ex vivo skin permeation study verified that the cumulative permeability (Qn) and penetration rate (Js) of the optimized SCZ-NEs were about 1.7-fold higher than that of a commercial reference, miconazole (MCZ) cream and 3-fold higher than that of SCZ-DMSO solution. The optimized SCZ-NEs exhibited zone of inhibition (ZOI) values of 23.5±2.4 and 20.4±2.5 mm against C. albicans and T. rubrum, which were larger compared with these of the MCZ cream and SCZ-DMSO solution. Conclusion: SCZ-NEs were effectively developed to overcome the poor solubility of SCZ, promote SCZ permeation through the skin and improve its antifungal activity. Thus, the SCZ-NEs are a promising percutaneous administration for skin fungal infections induced by C. albicans and T. rubrum.

Abstract
The secondary metabolite 2,4,6-triphenylaniline (TPA) was isolated from an endophytic fungi Alternaria longipes strain VITN14G of mangrove plant Avicennia officinalis, that exhibited satisfactory in vitro antidiabetic activity for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The TPA was encapsulated using nanoemulsion (NE) to overcome the problem of stability and permeability to increase its therapeutic applications. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for the optimization of the variables given, such as hydrodynamic diameter, surface charge, and polydispersity index (PDI). TPA was encapsulated using an optimized ratio of olive oil and tween 80 (2:1) significantly affected the response variables including particle size (124.8 nm), ζ potential (-46.0 mV), and PDI (0.396), and the encapsulation efficiency was found to be 95.93%. The TPA-loaded NE after MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) analysis showed nontoxic effects on L929 normal cell lines (areolar and adipose subcutaneous connective tissue of Mus musculus) with a viable percentage of 92%. In vitro release study revealed the slow and sustained release of the TPA over 48 hrs from NE under the Fickian diffusion mechanism and followed the Higuchi model for release kinetics. Further, the percentage of α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition rate of TPA-loaded NE was found to be 78.5 and 43.42%, respectively. The present study, therefore, can aid in the development of a novel drug delivery system as a therapeutic approach to T2DM.

Abstract
Background 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) is one of the most commonly utilized drugs in psoralen-ultraviolet A therapy for treatment of vitiligo. However, poor skin retention and systemic side effects limit the clinical application of 8-MOP. Methods Microemulsions (MEs) and chitosan derivative-coated 8-MOP MEs were developed and compared for dermal delivery of 8-MOP. Ex vivo skin retention/permeation study was performed to select the ME formulation with the highest retention:permeation ratio. Four different chitosan-coated MEs were prepared and compared with the ME formulation for their ability to distribute 8-MOP in the skin. Results Among various ME formulations developed, a formulation containing 2.9% ethyl oleate, 17.2% Cromophor EL35, 8.6% ethanol and 71.3% water showed the highest ex vivo skin retention:permeation ratio (1.98). Of four chitosan-coated MEs prepared, carboxymethyl chitosan-coated MEs (CC-MEs) and hydroxypropyl chitosan-coated MEs (HC-MEs) showed higher ex vivo skin retention:permeation ratio (1.46 and 1.84). and were selected for in vivo pharmacokinetic study. AUCskin (0–12 h) for 8-MOP MEs (4578.56 h·ng·mL−1) was higher than HC-MEs (3422.47 h·ng·mL−1), CC-MEs (2808.51 h·ng·mL−1) and tincture (1500.16 h·ng·mL−1). Also, AUCplasma (0–12 h) for MEs (39.35±13.90 h·ng·mL−1) was significantly lower than HC-MEs (66.32 h·ng·mL−1), CC-MEs (59.70 h·ng·mL−1) and tincture (73.02 h·ng·mL−1). Conclusion These combined results suggested that the MEs developed could be a promising and safe alternative for targeted skin delivery of 8-MOP.

Abstract
Lipophilic drugs do not usually benefit from iontophoresis mainly because they do not solubilize in aqueous formulations suitable for the application of electric current. To explore the influence of iontophoresis on penetration of these drugs, a cationic nanoemulsion was developed to solubilize zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc), a promising drug for the treatment of skin cancer. To verify the influence of particle size on iontophoresis, an emulsion of nanoemulsion-like composition was also developed. The formulations were characterized and cutaneous and tumor penetration studies were performed in vitro and in vivo, respectively. With particles of about 200 nm, the nanoemulsion solubilized 2.5-fold more ZnPc than the 13-µm emulsion. At the same concentration of ZnPc, in vitro passive penetration studies showed that the nanoemulsion increased, after 1 h of treatment, by almost 4 times the penetration of ZnPc into the viable layers of the skin when compared to the emulsion, whereas iontophoresis of nanoemulsion resulted in a 16-fold increase in ZnPc penetration in only 30 min. An in vivo study in a murine model of melanoma showed that ZnPc reached the tumor after iontophoresis of the nanoemulsion. Therefore, iontophoresis of nanoemulsions appears to be a promising strategy for the topical treatment of tumors with lipophilic drugs.

Abstract
Topical administration of anticancer drugs provides a potential chemotherapeutic modality with high patient compliance for cutaneous melanoma. However, the drug delivery efficiency is highly limited by physiological barriers from the skin to the tumor, which cannot acquire desired therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we propose a paintable oligopeptide hydrogel containing paclitaxel (PTX)-encapsulated cell-penetrating-peptide (CPP)-modified transfersomes (PTX-CTs) to enhance transdermal PTX delivery for topical melanoma treatment. After being plastered on the skin above the melanoma tumor, the PTX-CTs-embedded hydrogel (PTX-CTs/Gel) as a patch provided prolonged retention capacity of the PTX-CTs on the skin. The PTX-CTs with superior deformability could efficiently squeeze through the channels in the stratum coreum, and the surfactant components improved the fluidity of the lipid molecules in the stratum corneum to further enhance the skin permeation. Moreover, the CPP modification rendered the PTX-CT-enhanced penetration in the skin and tumor stroma as well as efficient transportation in the tumor cells. The PTX-CTs were shown to effectively slow the tumor growth in combination with the systemic chemotherapy using Taxol, the commercial PTX formulation on the xenograft B10F16 melanoma mouse model.

Lower-Sized Chitosan Nanocapsules for Transcutaneous Antigen Delivery. NANOMATERIALS 2018; 8:nano8090659. [PMID: 30149658 PMCID: PMC6164329 DOI: 10.3390/nano8090659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2018] [Revised: 08/14/2018] [Accepted: 08/22/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Transcutaneous vaccination has several advantages including having a noninvasive route and needle-free administration; nonetheless developing an effective transdermal formulation has not been an easy task because skin physiology, particularly the stratum corneum, does not allow antigen penetration. Size is a crucial parameter for successful active molecule administration through the skin. Here we report a new core-shell structure rationally developed for transcutaneous antigen delivery. The resulting multifunctional carrier has an oily core with immune adjuvant properties and a polymeric corona made of chitosan. This system has a size of around 100 nm and a positive zeta potential. The new formulation is stable in storage and physiological conditions. Ovalbumin (OVA) was used as the antigen model and the developed nanocapsules show high association efficiency (75%). Chitosan nanocapsules have high interaction with the immune system which was demonstrated by complement activation and also did not affect cell viability in the macrophage cell line. Finally, ex vivo studies using a pig skin model show that OVA associated to the chitosan nanocapsules developed in this study penetrated and were retained better than OVA in solution. Thus, the physicochemical properties and their adequate characteristics make this carrier an excellent platform for transcutaneous antigen delivery.

Abstract
The field of nanotechnology has grown exponentially during the last few decades, due in part to the use of nanoparticles in many manufacturing processes, as well as their potential as clinical agents for treatment of diseases and for drug delivery. This has created several new avenues by which humans can be exposed to nanoparticles. Unfortunately, investigations assessing the toxicological impacts of nanoparticles (i.e. nanotoxicity), as well as their possible risks to human health and the environment, have not kept pace with the rapid rise in their use. This has created a gap-in-knowledge and a substantial need for more research. Studies are needed to help complete our understanding of the mechanisms of toxicity of nanoparticles, as well as the mechanisms mediating their distribution and accumulation in cells and tissues and their elimination from the body. This review summarizes our knowledge on nanoparticles, including their various applications, routes of exposure, their potential toxicity and risks to human health.

Abstract
Skin has been increasingly recognized as an important drug administration route with topical formulations, offering a targeted approach for the treatment of several dermatological disorders. The effectiveness of this route is hampered by its natural barrier, the stratum corneum (SC), and hence, different strategies have been investigated to improve percutaneous drug transport. The design of nanodelivery systems, aiming at solving skin delivery issues, have been largely explored, due to their potential to revolutionize dermal therapies, improving therapeutic effectiveness and reducing side effects. Apart from nanosystem benefits, the fulfilment of the reproducibility requirements and quality standards still limit their industrial production. The optimization of nanosystem formulation and manufacturing process is complex, usually involving a large number of variables. Therefore, a science- and risk-oriented approach, such as Quality by Design (QbD) will provide a comprehensive and noteworthy knowledge, yielding high quality drug products without extensive regulatory burden. This review aims to set up the basis for QbD development approach, encompassing preliminary and systematic risk assessments, with critical process parameters (CPPs) and critical material attributes (CMAs) identification, of different nanosystems potentially used in dermal therapies.

Nanoemulsion containing 8-methoxypsoralen for topical treatment of dermatoses: Development, characterization and ex vivo permeation in porcine skin. Int J Pharm 2018; 547:1-9. [PMID: 29800737 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2018.05.053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2018] [Revised: 05/19/2018] [Accepted: 05/21/2018] [Indexed: 10/16/2022]
Abstract
Oral therapy with 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) may cause major side effects, whereas the topical treatment might not be much effective due to the low penetration induced by typical formulations. Therefore, the objectives of this work are the development and characterization of a nanoemulsion (NE) containing 8-MOP together with an ex vivo permeation study, monitored by a validated HPLC-Fluo method, to determine the amount of drug retained in viable skin (epidermis (E) and dermis (D)) and in stratum corneum (SC). The optimized conditions for NE formulation were achieved by full factorial designs (25 and 32): 60 s and 60% of ultrasound time and potency, respectively; 10 mL of final volume; 2% v/v of oil phase (clove essential oil); and 10% m/v of Poloxamer 407. The NE showed mean droplet diameter of 24.98 ± 0.49 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.091 ± 0.23, pH values of 6.54 ± 0.06, refractive index of 1.3525 ± 0.0001 and apparent viscosity of 51.15 ± 3.66 mPa at 20 °C. Droplets with nanospherical diameters were also observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Ex vivo permeation study showed that 8.5% of the applied 8-MOP dose permeated through the biological membranes, with flux (J) of 1.35 μg cm-2 h-1. The drug retention in E + D and in SC was 10.15 ± 1.36 and 1.95 ± 0.71 µg cm-2, respectively. Retention in viable skin induced by the NE was almost two-fold higher than a compounded cream (5.04 ± 0.30 μg cm-2). These results suggested that the developed NE is a promising alternative for 8-MOP topical therapy when compared to commercial formulations.
