Nanosuspension as an Efficient Carrier for Improved Ocular Permeation of Voriconazole.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The present limitations related to the ocular administration of antifungal drugs for the treatment of fungal keratitis include poor ocular bioavailability, limited retention time, and low ocular tissues penetration. METHODS:This study aimed to prepare a novel ophthalmic voriconazole-loaded nanosuspension based on Eudragit RS 100. Pharmasolve® was explored as a corneal permeation enhancer in voriconazole ophthalmic formulation using in vitro and in vivo experiments. Briefly, 1% voriconazole-loaded nanosuspension was prepared using the quasi-emulsion solvent evaporation process. RESULTS:Characterizations of the voriconazole-loaded nanosuspension by Zetasizer Nano ZS and transmission electron microscope (TEM) showed a uniform spherical shape without any agglomeration. The well-discreted nanoparticle with size of 138 ± 1.3 nm was achieved with high entrapment efficiency (98.6 ± 2.5 %) and a positive zeta potential in the range of 22.5 - 31.2 mV, indicating excellent physical stability. DISCUSSION:Voriconazole-loaded nanosuspension containing the penetration enhancer displayed good permeability both in vitro and in vivocompared with the commercial voriconazole injection. The voriconazole-loaded nanosuspension exhibited good antifungal activity, significantly inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans at a lower concentrations of voriconazole (2.5 μg/mL, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION:In conclusion, the voriconazole-loaded nanosuspension containing Pharmasolve® can be used as an effective ophthalmic formu-lation for the topical ocular delivery of voriconazole.
