Abstract:
:The aim of the present work was to investigate the possibility of achieving buccal delivery of a problematic drug, acyclovir, from films based on chitosan hydrochloride (HCS) and polyacrylic acid sodium salt (PAA). At first, the ionic interaction between HCS and PAA in distilled water was investigated by means of rheological and turbidimetric analysis. Films containing 1 mg/cm2 of acyclovir and based on pure HCS and on HCS and PAA mixed in different ratios were prepared by casting technique. The films were subjected to hydration, rheological, mucoadhesion, drug release, "wash away," and permeation/penetration measurements. A commercial cream containing acyclovir and an aqueousacyclovir suspension were used as references. The addition of PAA to HCS produced a decrease in film hydration. Films based on HCS/PAA weight ratio close to interaction productstoichiometry were characterized by higher rigidity and better "wash away" properties with respect to the other films and the reference formulation. The worst mucoadhesive properties were shown by films based on mixing ratios close to interaction product stoichiometry. The addition of PAA to HCS produced a lowering in drug release profile. All the films examined promoted the permeation of acyclovir across porcine cheek epithelium when compared with acyclovir suspension and the commercial cream. The penetration enhancement properties were affected by the mixing ratio of the two polymers. The film based on 1/1.3 HCS/PAA weight ratio, besides possessing the best resilience properties on the mucosa, was also characterized by the highest permeation profile and, therefore, represents a promising formulation for buccal delivery of acyclovir.
