Brain targeting efficiency of antimigrain drug loaded mucoadhesive intranasal nanoemulsion

Abdou, Ebtsam M., Kandil, Soha M., Miniawy, Hala M.F. El·2017·International Journal of Pharmaceutics

Abstract

Zolmitriptan (ZT) is a well-tolerated drug in migraine treatment suffering from low bioavailability due to low amount of the drug that reaches the brain after oral and nasal delivery. Development of new nasal mucoadhesive nanoemulsion formulation for zolmitriptan may success in delivering the drug directly from the nose to the brain to achieve rapid onset of action and high drug concentration in the brain which is required for treatment of acute migraine. ZT mucoadhesive nanoemulsion were prepared and characterized for drug content, zeta potential, particle size, morphology, residence time and permeation through the nasal mucosa. The selected formula was tested in-vivo in mice for its pharmacokinetics in comparison with intravenous and nasal solution of zolmitriptan. Results showed that addition of chitosan as mucoadhesive agent in 0.3% concentration to the nanoemulsion enhanced its residence time and zetapotential with no significant effect on the globule size. All tested formulations showed higher permeability coefficients than the zolmitriptan solution through the nasal mucosa. In-vivo studies showed that the mucoadhesive nanoemulsion formulation of zolmitriptan has higher AUC 0-8 and shorter T max in the brain than the intravenous or the nasal solution. This was related to the small globule size and higher permeability of the formulation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
