In this study, nano-sized carriers were formulated for improving the non- invasive oto-topical delivery of caroverine for the treatment of tinnitus.Methods: Caroverine was loaded into two types of phospholipid-containing systems, namely, nano elastic vesicles (EVs) and phosphatidylcholine-based liquid crystalline nano-particles (PC-LCNPs). The prepared formulations were characterized for their drug loading, particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, morphological features by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and physicochemical stability. In addition, comparative ex vivo transport study was carried out using rabbits’ TM for both types of formulations.Results: The findings show a significant superiority of PC-LCNPs over the EVs formulations in the drug payload (1% and 0.25%, respectively), physical stability and the efficiency of permeation across rabbits’ TM. The results showed a more than twofold increase in the cumulative drug flux values of PC-LCNPs (699.58 ± 100 μg/cm2) compared to the EVs (250 ± 45 μg/cm2) across the TM.Conclusion: The current study revealed the smart physicochemical properties of PC-LCNPs demonstrating the potential of this carrier as a new attractive candidate for improving the non-invasive oto-topical delivery of caroverine.Keywords: caroverine, nanovesicles, liquid crystals, permeation, tympanic membraneFarrah AYAl-mahallawi AMBasalious EBNesseem DIDove Medical Pressarticlecaroverinenanovesiclesliquid crystalspermeationtympanic membrane.Medicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 15, Pp 8921-8931 (2020) |
