Carboxymethyl cellulose-based rotigotine nanocrystals-loaded hydrogel for increased transdermal delivery with alleviated skin irritation. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 338:122197. [PMID: 38763711 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Transdermal rotigotine (RTG) therapy is prescribed to manage Parkinson's disease (Neupro® patch). However, its use is suffered from application site reactions. Herein, drug nanocrystalline suspension (NS)-loaded hydrogel (NS-HG) employing polysaccharides simultaneously as suspending agent and hydrogel matrix was constructed for transdermal delivery, with alleviated skin irritation. RTG-loaded NS-HG was prepared using a bead-milling technique, employing sodium carboxylmethyl cellulose (Na.CMC) as nano-suspending agent (molecular weight 90,000 g/mol) and hydrogel matrix (700,000 g/mol), respectively. NS-HG was embodied as follows: drug loading: ≤100 mg/mL; shape: rectangular crystalline; crystal size: <286.7 nm; zeta potential: -61 mV; viscosity: <2.16 Pa·s; and dissolution rate: >90 % within 15 min. Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis revealed that the anionic polymers bind to RTG nanocrystals via charge interaction, affording uniform dispersion in the matrix. Rodent transdermal absorption of RTG from NS-HG was comparable to that from microemulsions, and proportional to drug loading. Moreover, NS-HG was skin-friendly; erythema and epidermal swelling were absent after repeated application. Further, NS-HG was chemically stable; >95 % of the drug was preserved up to 4 weeks under long term (25 °C/RH60%), accelerated (40 °C/RH75%), and stress (50 °C) storage conditions. Therefore, this novel cellulose derivative-based nanoformulation presents a promising approach for effective transdermal RTG delivery with improved tolerability.

AAPS PharmSciTech 2024; 25:117.

Abstract
Eugenol (Eug) holds potential as a treatment for bacterial rhinosinusitis by nasal powder drug delivery. To stabilization and solidification of volatile Eug, herein, nasal inhalable γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (γ-CD-MOF) was investigated as a carrier by gas-solid adsorption method. The results showed that the particle size of Eug loaded by γ-CD-MOF (Eug@γ-CD-MOF) distributed in the range of 10-150 μm well. In comparison to γ-CD and β-CD-MOF, γ-CD-MOF has higher thermal stability to Eug. And the intermolecular interactions between Eug and the carriers were verified by characterizations and molecular docking. Based on the bionic human nasal cavity model, Eug@γ-CD-MOF had a high deposition distribution (90.07 ± 1.58%). Compared with free Eug, the retention time Eug@γ-CD-MOF in the nasal cavity was prolonged from 5 min to 60 min. In addition, the cell viability showed that Eug@γ-CD-MOF (Eug content range 3.125-200 µg/mL) was non-cytotoxic. And the encapsulation of γ-CD-MOF could not reduce the bacteriostatic effect of Eug. Therefore, the biocompatible γ-CD-MOF could be a potential and valuable carrier for nasal drug delivery to realize solidification and nasal therapeutic effects of volatile oils.

Abstract
Telmisartan (TMN), an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) drug, is being considered as an alternative therapy for Alzheimer's disease (ALZ). However, when taken orally, its low water solubility leads to a low bioavailability and brain concentration. To overcome this problem, TMN was formulated as nanocrystals (NC), then incorporated into dissolving microneedles (DMN) to enhance drug delivery to the brain via the trigeminal route on the face. TMN-NC was formulated with 1% PVA using the top-down method and stirred for 12 h, producing the smallest particle size of 132 ± 11 nm and showing a better release profile, reaching 89.51 ± 7.52% (2 times greater than pure TMN). TMN-NC-DMN with a combination of 15% PVA and 25% PVP showed optimal mechanical strength and penetration ability; they could dissolve completely within 15 min, and their surface pH was safe for the skin. The permeation test of TMN-NC-DMN showed the highest concentration, reaching 285.80 ± 32.12 μg/mL, compared to TMN-DMN and patch control, which only reached 87.17 ± 11.24 and 94.00 ± 11.09 μg/mL, respectively. The TMN-NC-DMN combination showed better bioavailability and was found to be well-delivered to the brain without any irritation to the skin. Pharmacokinetic parameters had a significant difference (p > 0.05) compared to other preparations, making it a promising treatment for ALZ.

Abstract
The unique anatomical and physiological connections between the nasal cavity and brain provide a pathway for bypassing the blood-brain barrier to allow for direct brain-targeted drug delivery through nasal administration. There are several advantages of nasal administration compared with other routes; for example, the first-pass effect that leads to the metabolism of orally administered drugs can be bypassed, and the poor compliance associated with injections can be minimized. Nasal administration can also help maximize brain-targeted drug delivery, allowing for high pharmacological activity at lower drug dosages, thereby minimizing the likelihood of adverse effects and providing a highly promising drug delivery pathway for the treatment of central nervous system diseases. The aim of this review article was to briefly describe the physiological structures of the nasal cavity and brain, the pathways through which drugs can enter the brain through the nose, the factors affecting brain-targeted nasal drug delivery, methods to improve brain-targeted nasal drug delivery systems through the application of related biomaterials, common experimental methods used in intranasal drug delivery research, and the current limitations of such approaches, providing a solid foundation for further in-depth research on intranasal brain-targeted drug delivery systems (see Graphical Abstract).

Abstract
Rivastigmine hydrogen tartrate (RIV-HT) is given orally for Alzheimer's disease. However, oral therapy shows low brain bioavailability, short half-life and gastrointestinal-mediated adverse effects. RIV-HT intranasal delivery can avoid these side effects, but its low brain bioavailability remains challenging. These issues could be solved with hybrid lipid nanoparticles with enough drug loading to enhance RIV-HT brain bioavailability while avoiding oral route side effects. The RIV-HT and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) ion-pair complex (RIV:DHA) was prepared to improve drug loading into lipid-polymer hybrid (LPH) nanoparticles. Two types of LPH, i.e., cationic (RIV:DHA LPH(+ve)) and anionic LPH (RIV:DHA LPH(-ve)) were developed. The effect of LPH surface charge on in-vitro amyloid inhibition, in-vivo brain concentrations and nose-to-brain drug targeting efficiency were investigated. LPH nanoparticles showed concentration dependant amyloid inhibition. RIV:DHA LPH(+ve) demonstrated relatively enhanced Aβ1-42 peptide inhibition. The thermoresponsive gel embedded with LPH nanoparticles improved nasal drug retention. LPH nanoparticles gel significantly improved pharmacokinetic parameters compared to RIV-HT gel. RIV:DHA LPH(+ve) gel showed better brain concentrations than RIV:DHA LPH(-ve) gel. The histological examination of nasal mucosa treated with LPH nanoparticles gel showed that the delivery system was safe. In conclusion, the LPH nanoparticle gel was safe and efficient in improving the nose-to-brain targeting of RIV, which can potentially be utilized in managing Alzheimer's.
