| Sumario: | Santosh Bashyal,1 Jo-Eun Seo,1 Taekwang Keum,1 Gyubin Noh,1 Young Wook Choi,2 Sangkil Lee1 1College of Pharmacy, Keimyung University, Daegu, Republic of Korea; 2College of Pharmacy, Chung-Ang University, Seoul, Republic of Korea Background: Buccal delivery of insulin is still a challenging issue for the researchers due to the presence of permeability barrier (buccal mucosa) in the buccal cavity. The main objective of this study was to investigate the safety, effectiveness, and potential of various liposomes containing different bile salts to improve the permeation of insulin across in vitro TR146 buccal cell layers. Methods: Elastic bilosomes containing soy lecithin and bile salt edge activators (sodium cholate [SC], sodium taurocholate [STC], sodium glycocholate [SGC], sodium deoxyglycocholate [SDGC], or sodium deoxytaurocholate [SDTC]) were fabricated by thin-film hydration method. The prepared liposomes were characterized, and in vitro permeation studies were performed. The fluorescein isothiocyanate-insulin-loaded elastic bilosomes were used to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative cellular uptake studies. Results: The prepared elastic bilosomes had a particle size and an entrapment efficiency of ~140–150 nm and 66%–78%, respectively. SDGC-lipo (SDGC-incorporated liposome) was observed to be the most superior with an enhancement ratio (ER) of 5.24 (P<0.001). The SC-incorporated liposome (SC-lipo) and SDTC-incorporated liposome (SDTC-lipo) also led to a significant enhancement with ERs of 3.20 and 3.10 (P<0.05), respectively, compared with insulin solution. These results were further supported by quantitative and qualitative cellular uptake studies performed employing fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis and confocal microscopy, respectively. The relative median fluorescence intensity values of elastic bilosomes were counted in the order of SDGC-lipo > SC-lipo > SDTC-lipo > SGC-incorporated liposome > STC-incorporated liposome, and similarity in the permeability profile of the employed elastic bilosomes was noted. Conclusion: This study presents the employment of various derivatives of cholic acid-loaded elastic bilosomes as a promising strategy to enhance the permeation of insulin through buccal route.
