Ketoconazole-loaded microspone film coating agent for superficial fungal infection: design, preparation and characterization
Ketoconazole (KCZ), an imidazole antifungal drug, is constrained by its low solubility and poor stability, restricting its effective absorption and bioavailability. This study introduces a KCZ-loaded microsponge based film coating agent (KCZ-MSF), designed to enhance the transdermal absorption and bioavailability of KCZ. The KCZ-MS was prepared by emulsion solvent evaporation method and the composition of the prescription was optimized by Box-Behnken design (BBD). Moreover, characterization of the optimized KCZ-MS was conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The film coating agent's preparation was further optimized through orthogonal experiments, converting the optimized KCZ-MS into a film coating agent suitable for topical skin application. The KCZ-MS showed a spherical porous structure with a mean particle size of 22.42 ± 8.45 μm, a drug loading efficiency of 20.74 %, entrapment efficiency of 92.12 %, and good compatibility between the drug and excipients. The optimized KCZ-MSF displayed good physical properties. In vitro transdermal experiments revealed that the skin retention of KCZ-MSF surpassed that of commercially available KCZ cream at 6, 12, and 24 h. The pharmacokinetic experiment results indicate that the area under the curve (AUC0–24) of KCZ-MSF 420.71 ± 21.77 μg/(g·h) is 2.05 times that of KCZ film coating agent (KCZ-F) and 1.29 times that of commercially available ketoconazole cream. Therefore, KCZ-MSF presents a more promising platform for the treatment of superficial skin fungal infections.
期刊介绍:
The Journal de Mycologie Medicale / Journal of Medical Mycology (JMM) publishes in English works dealing with human and animal mycology. The subjects treated are focused in particular on clinical, diagnostic, epidemiological, immunological, medical, pathological, preventive or therapeutic aspects of mycoses. Also covered are basic aspects linked primarily with morphology (electronic and photonic microscopy), physiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, immunochemistry, genetics, taxonomy or phylogeny of pathogenic or opportunistic fungi and actinomycetes in humans or animals. Studies of natural products showing inhibitory activity against pathogenic fungi cannot be considered without chemical characterization and identification of the compounds responsible for the inhibitory activity.
JMM publishes (guest) editorials, original articles, reviews (and minireviews), case reports, technical notes, letters to the editor and information. Only clinical cases with real originality (new species, new clinical present action, new geographical localization, etc.), and fully documented (identification methods, results, etc.), will be considered.
Under no circumstances does the journal guarantee publication before the editorial board makes its final decision.
The journal is indexed in the main international databases and is accessible worldwide through the ScienceDirect and ClinicalKey platforms.
