Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND AIM:Since the pharmacological effects of diclofenac (DF) are short-lived because of its short half-life, prolongation of the pharmacological effect in a topical formulation is needed for more appropriate clinical use. For the enhancement of dermal accumulation and prolongation of the pharmacological effect of drugs, the aim of this study was to develop a simple gel formulation containing an ion-pair complex of DF and phenylephrine (PHE), which induce constriction of the vascular smooth muscles. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The ion-pair complex was prepared by mixing sodium DF and an ethanolic solution of PHE. The formed complex was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The ion-pair complex for the gel formulation was prepared by mixing an equimolar concentration of 50% 1,3-butylene glycol and distilled aqueous solution of 2% xanthan gum, which was characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR). Skin permeation and accumulation of DF and PHE were evaluated by in vitro and in vivo studies. RESULTS:From the results of PXRD and FT-IR, it was suggested that new crystalline peaks formed by the ion-pair complex and their complex interacted with the carboxyl group in DF and the amino group in PHE. In the gel formulation, the ion-pair complexes were detected by 1H-NMR. The ion-pair complex enhanced the accumulation of DF in the skin in the in vitro study. On the other hand, PHE accumulation in the dermis increased with the ion-pair complex, as exhibited by the in vivo study. CONCLUSION:A new gel formulation containing the ion-pair complex of DF and PHE was developed, which improved the accumulation of DF in skin.
