目的制备含二甲双胍(MET)的壳聚糖(CS)凝胶聚己内酯(PCL)纳米粒(NPs),并对其进行局部治疗。显著MET-PCLNPs-CS凝胶的局部给药改善药物的渗透,减少副作用,提高治疗效果。方法采用双乳液法制备MET-PCL纳米颗粒。粒度,charge,封装效率,评估释放和形态。MET-PCLNPs-CS凝胶制剂的特征在于感官特性,pH值,胶凝时间,粘度,铺展性,释放和形态。对B16F10细胞进行细胞毒性。用猪皮进行离体渗透性。结果大小,电荷和封装效率为180±10nm,-11.4mV和93%。SEM图像显示纳米颗粒是球形和光滑的。观察到最初的突释,随后是较慢的释放。发现MET-PCLNP-CS凝胶是透明的。pH为4.9±0.05。胶凝时间为1.6±0.2分钟。粘度结果证实了凝胶的假塑性行为。按面积%计的铺展性为392±6.4cm。图像显示CS凝胶的胶凝网络由悬浮的纳米颗粒组成。粘度在554-3503cP之间。Met-PCLNPs-CS凝胶显示延长释放长达72小时。在B16F10细胞上,与MET溶液相比,凝胶显示更高的细胞毒性。与Met-CS凝胶相比,MET-PCLNP-CS凝胶在猪皮中的渗透性高2倍。结论将Met-PCLNPs-CS凝胶局部施用到皮肤中可改善皮肤渗透性,这种有希望的方法可能对有效治疗黑色素瘤和其他皮肤癌具有价值。
UNASSIGNED: The purpose of this study was to prepare and evaluate chitosan (CS) gel containing metformin hydrochloride (MET)-loaded
polycaprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles (NPs) for topical treatment of melanoma.
UNASSIGNED: Topical administration of MET-PCL NPs-CS gel improves penetration of drug, decreases side effects, and increases efficacy of treatment.
UNASSIGNED: MET-PCL NPs were prepared by double emulsion method. Particle size, charge, encapsulation efficiency (EE), release, and morphology were evaluated. MET-PCL NPs-CS gel formulation was characterized in terms of organoleptic properties, pH, gelling time, viscosity, spreadability, release, and morphology. Cytotoxicity was performed on B16F10 cells. Ex vivo permeability was done with pig skin.
UNASSIGNED: The size, charge, and EE were found to be 180 ± 10 nm, -11.4 mV, and 93%. SEM images showed that NPs were spherical and smooth. An initial burst release followed by a slower release was observed. MET-PCL NPs-CS gel was found to be transparent. The pH was 4.9 ± 0.05. The gelation time was 1.6 ± 0.2 min. The viscosity results confirm pseudoplastic behavior of gel. The spreadability by % area was 392 ± 6.4 cm. The images showed that gelling network of CS gel was composed of suspended NPs. The viscosity was between 554 and 3503 cP. MET-PCL NPs-CS gel showed prolonged release up to 72 h. On B16F10 cells, gel showed higher cytotoxicity compared to MET solution. MET-PCL NPs-CS gel had twofold higher permeability in pig skin compared with MET-CS gel.
UNASSIGNED: Topical administration of MET-PCL NPs-CS gel into the skin resulted in improved dermal penetration and this promising approach may be of value in effective treatment of melanoma and other skin cancers.
