Abstract:
:An innovative and simple methodology has been developed and used for the evaluation of mucoadhesive properties of several polymers by means of sound speed measurements using high-resolution acoustic spectroscopy. In systems made of polymers in water, variations in hydration shell of polymeric chains determine changes of dispersions compressibility, and this phenomenon can be monitored by sound speed measurements. Four different polymers have been selected, namely PEG 6000, Carbopol 974, HPMC K4M, and Pectin 200/USP, all characterised by very different mucoadhesive properties. Samples made of each polymer alone (0.3-1.0% w/w) or in mixture with mucin (mucin fixed at 1.0% w/w) in water were investigated while using high-resolution ultrasonic spectrometer at two different frequencies (5.2 and 8.2 MHz). Polymer-mucin interaction was evaluated comparing experimental sound speed values of polymer-mucin samples with their theoretical values derived from the addition of sound speeds obtained while analysing each component alone. Results demonstrated the ability of the acoustic method to discriminate between mucoadhesive and no mucoadhesive polymer-mucin dispersions and allowed also the comparison between their mucoadhesive strengths. The study has therefore demonstrated the potential of using high-resolution ultrasonic spectroscopy to evaluate the polymers' mucoadhesiveness, with the great advantage of testing small amount of samples even if opaque.
