Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to develop glibenclamide (GLC)-loaded nanosponges (NS) using β-cyclodextrin to improve dissolution rate and oral bioavailability of GLC.
Methods: Blank NS were produced using solvent technique with varying ratios of β-cyclodextrin and carbonyl-diimidazole. The hyper-crosslinked β-cyclodextrin was dispersed in de-ionized water, and then lyophilised. The GLC-loaded-NS were prepared using different ratios of GLC to the previously developed NS1:4 and evaluated for particle size, zeta potential, TEM, SEM, DSC, PXRD, FTIR, loading efficiency, pharmacokinetically, pharmacodynamically, histologically and effect of storage.
Results: GLC:NS1:4 showed highest solubility (46.36 ± 2.44%w/v), entrapment efficiency (36.1 ± 0.57%w/v), particle size 352 ± 6.1 nm and Z-potential -25.3 ± 0.3 mV. GLC:NS1:4 exhibited porous, spherical nanoparticles, with confirmed drug encapsulation. In-vitro and in-vivo evaluations demonstrated an initial burst followed by sustained drug release, reducing blood glucose levels by 79.6 ± 0.43%. The effect of storage revealed no significant changes after 3 months.
Conclusion: GLC-NS complexation improved oral bioavailability and extended drug release, suggesting better patient compliance.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Microencapsulation is a well-established, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the publication of original research findings related to the preparation, properties and uses of individually encapsulated novel small particles, as well as significant improvements to tried-and-tested techniques relevant to micro and nano particles and their use in a wide variety of industrial, engineering, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and research applications. Its scope extends beyond conventional microcapsules to all other small particulate systems such as self assembling structures that involve preparative manipulation.
The journal covers:
Chemistry of encapsulation materials
Physics of release through the capsule wall and/or desorption from carrier
Techniques of preparation, content and storage
Many uses to which microcapsules are put.
