smartPearls - Novel physically stable amorphous delivery system for poorly soluble dermal actives.

Abstract：

:Dermally applied poorly soluble actives whether in cosmetics or pharmaceuticals show insufficient skin penetration. Especially actives being insoluble in both phases of dermal vehicles, i.e. water and oil have no or less real effect. An approach to overcome this obstacle is the use of amorphous actives instead of the crystalline ones. The higher saturation solubility creates an increased concentration gradient between the formulation and skin. Thus, the diffusive flux into the skin is improved. However, the amorphous state of actives is highly labile, and the durability of such formulations would be too short for a marketable product. smartPearls is a novel technology efficiently long-term stabilize the amorphous state. They consist of µm sized particles with mesopores (e.g. silica: SYLOID®, AEROPERL®, Neusilin®), in which the active can be loaded and preserved in amorphous state. Due to the tightness of the pores, not enough space is given for re-crystallization. In this work, the skin penetration of poorly soluble actives loaded in smartPearls is compared to the present "gold standards" in dermal delivery, e.g. amorphous microparticles, amorphous nanoparticles and nanocrystals. The performance was at least similar or even better than the gold standards, explainable by the increased saturation solubility of active due to a) amorphous state and b) nanostructure inside the µm-sized particles. Sedimentation investigations showed, that the physical stabilization of very dense smartPearls in semi-solid vehicles is possible by viscoelastic repulsion. Also, the technical, regulatory and marketing aspects for the use of smartPearls technology in products are discussed, e.g. status of excipients used, and advantages of not being a nanoparticle, but being as efficient as them. Overall, smartPearls proved to be a promising dermal delivery technology for poorly soluble actives with a high market potential.
