The intranasal route offers an alternative for central nervous system delivery. Cubosomes have been reported as helpful vehicles for intranasal delivery of therapeutics to enable brain targeting.Objective: In this study, we aimed to develop the intranasal cubosomal thermogelling dispersion of saquinavir mesylate for central nervous system delivery.Methods: The Box–Behnken design was applied to study the effect of monoolein, Poloxamer 407, and polyvinyl alcohol as independent factors and the particle size, entrapment efficiency, gelation temperature, and stability index as responses. The optimized cubosomes were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy, ex vivo permeation, and in vivo pharmacokinetics.Results: The optimized formula consisting of monoolein (8.96%), Poloxamer 407 (17.45%), and polyvinyl alcohol (7.5%) was prepared and evaluated. Higher values for the steady-state flux, permeability coefficient, and enhancement factor were observed for the cubosomal thermogelling dispersion of saquinavir during ex vivo permeation in comparison with an aqueous suspension of saquinavir. From the pharmacokinetic profile, the relative bioavailability for the intranasal optimized formula was approximately 12-fold higher when compared with oral aqueous suspension and 2.5-fold greater when compared to the intranasal aqueous suspension of saquinavir.Conclusion: Overall, the saquinavir-loaded cubosomal thermogelling formulation is promising for central nervous system delivery by intranasal administration.Keywords: cubosomes, central nervous system, CNS, nose to brain delivery, human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, intranasal, saquinavir, thermogellingHosny KMDove Medical Pressarticlecubosomescentral nervous system (cns)nose to brain deliveryhuman immunodeficiency virus (hiv)intranasalsaquinavirthermogellingMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 15, Pp 5113-5129 (2020)
