Preparation and Evaluation of Artemether Oral Microemulsion- Gel
目的:优选蒿甲醚口服微乳原位凝胶的处方,并对其性质进行评价。方法:以流动性和凝胶性为指标筛选水相,通过溶解度、相溶性、制剂稳定性和黏附性的考察确定处方组分,采用伪三元相图筛选微乳原位凝胶区域,优选蒿甲醚微乳原位凝胶的最优处方,并对其形态,粒径,Zeta电位,黏度,稳定性,凝胶性以及体内胃滞留时间进行评价。结果:蒿甲醚微乳原位凝胶的最优处方为蒿甲醚-三乙酸甘油酯-聚氧乙烯蓖麻油-二乙二醇单乙基醚-(0.3%结冷胶-0.1%低黏度海藻酸钠)(0.5:4.5:5:5:85),药物浓度约5 g ·L-1,透射电镜下观察乳滴呈球形,平均粒径20.90 nm,多分散指数(PDI)0.172,Zeta电位-19.5 mV,黏度15.32 mPa ·s,在室温条件下稳定。大鼠口服蒿甲醚微乳原位凝胶后,微乳原位凝胶在胃中快速发生相变形成凝胶,6 h后依然能在大鼠的胃中观察到凝胶并检测出蒿甲醚。结论:蒿甲醚微乳原位凝胶改善了蒿甲醚的溶解度,在胃部凝胶性能良好,能有效延长蒿甲醚的胃滞留时间,且黏度适宜,适合口服给药。
Abstract
Objective: To screen the optimal formula for artemether oral microemulsion-in situ gel and evaluate its properties. Method: With liquidity and gelation capacity as indexes
the water phase was determined.The composition was screened by solubility assay
compatibility test
stability and adhesiveness of microemulsion-in situ gel system.Pseudoternary phase diagram was used to optimize the formula.The morphology
particle size
Zeta potential
viscosity
stability
gelation and gastric retention time in vivo of artemether microemulsion-in situ gel were investigated
respectively. Result: The optimal formula was as follows:artemether:glyceryl triacetate:cremophor EL35:transcutol HP:(0.3% gellan gum-0.1% sodium alginate with low viscosity)=0.5:4.5:5:5:85
the concentration of artemether in the microemulsion-in situ gel about 5 g · L-1. Artemether microemulsion-in situ gel in transmission electron microscope consisted of small spherical droplets
mean particle size
polydispersity index (PDI)
Zeta potential
viscosity of the drug delivery system were 20.90 nm
0.172
-19.5 mV and 15.32 mPa · s
respectively.After oral administration
it gelled in the stomach of rats immediately;six hours later
gel could still be observed and artemether could be detected in the stomach. Conclusion: The solubitily of artemether is significantly increased in microemulsion-in situ gel.The artemether microemulsion-in situ gel has characteristics of good gelation in stomach and suitable viscosity
it not only can prolong the gastric retention time of artemether but also is suitable for oral administration.
