Ceftriaxone (CTX) is an injectable, third-generation cephalosporin that suffers poor oral bioavailability.Methods: In the present study, ionic gelation of two biopolymers, namely chitosan (CH) and shellac (SH), was implemented to consolidate CTX, within elegant nanoparticles (NPs) for oral administration that would increase its bioavailability and sustainability.

Pharmacokinetic studies of enteric-coated hard gelatin capsules (HGCs) loaded with F2-NPs were finally assessed.Results: The optimized spherical F2-NPs had a mean particle size of 258 nm, zeta potential of about +30.1 and appreciable drug entrapment efficiency of 83%. The in vitro drug release profile of F2-NPs in pH 7.4 experienced biphasic configuration with an initial burst release for an hour, followed by a sustained release over 15 h with Higuchi model and non-Fickian diffusion mechanism (R2=0.9852). High stability upon storage at refrigerated and room temperature for 3 months and good flow properties (θ= 32.2 and HR= 1.13) of the optimized formula were also conferred. In vivo pharmacokinetic assessment in rabbits fruitfully displayed 92% absolute bioavailability of CTX.Conclusion: The obtained results provide evidence for the potential combination of CH and SH in NPs preparation to enhance the oral bioavailability of CTX.Keywords: ceftriaxone, chitosan, shellac, nanoparticles, oral, factorial designMaghrabia ABoughdady MMeshali MDove Medical Pressarticleceftriaxonechitosanshellacnanoparticlesoralfactorial designMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 16, Pp 5937-5953 (2021)
