Abstract

Lacosamide (LCM) selectively increases the slow inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) and is a N-methyl D-aspartate acid (NMDA) receptor glycine site antagonist. Therefore, it can be used in dryness-related hyperexcitability of corneal cold receptor nerve terminals. Ocular in-situ gels remain in liquid form until they reach the target site, where they undergo a sol-gel transformation in response to specific stimuli. They can show mucoadhesive properties related to the polymer used and increase the residence time of the drug in the mucosa. In the presented study, ocular in-situ gel formulation of LCM, which has potential for use in ocular diseases and consists of hyaluronic acid and poloxamer 407 as polymers, was developed using cold method. The effect of formulation components on target product properties (pH, gelation temperature and viscosity) was evaluated by design of experiments (DoE) design. The optimized LCM-loaded in-situ gel had a pH value of 6.90 ± 0.01, showed pseudo-plastic flow with a viscosity of 562 ± 58 cP at 25°C, gelled at 33 ± 0.47°C, and released drugs via the Peppas-Sahlin mechanism. Ocular safety was confirmed via in vitro tests using two different cell lines (L929 and Arpe-19), along with in vivo Draize tests, histological examinations, and Hen's Egg Chario-Allontioc-Membrane (HET-CAM) analysis. In vitro studies confirmed the optimized LCM-loaded in-situ gel's suitability for ocular use, demonstrating long-acting effects through controlled release. In addition, ocular irritation and histological studies have supported that it will not show any toxic effect on the eye tissue.
