Abstract:
:To prolong the precorneal resident time and improve ocular bioavailability of the drug, Pluronic F127-g-poly(acrylic acid) copolymers were studied as in situ gelling vehicle for ophthalmic drug delivery system. The rheological properties and in vitro drug release of Pluronic-g-PAA copolymer gels were investigated. The rheogram and in vitro drug release studies indicated that the drug release rates decreased as acrylic acid/Pluronic molar ratio and copolymer solution concentration increased. But the drug concentration had no obvious effect on drug release. The release rates of the drug from such copolymer gels were mainly dependent on the gel dissolution. In vivo resident experiments showed the drug resident time and the total resident amount in rabbit's conjunctiveal sac increased by 5.0 and 2.6 folds for in situ gel, compared with eye drops. The decreased loss angle at body temperature and prolonged precorneal resident time also indicated that the copolymer gels had bioadhesive properties. These in vivo experimental results, along with the rheological properties and in vitro drug release studies, demonstrated that in situ gels containing Pluronic-g-PAA copolymer may significantly prolong the drug resident time and thus improve bioavailability. Pluronic-g-PAA copolymer can be a promising in situ gelling vehicle for ophthalmic drug delivery system.
