Abstract:
PURPOSE:To assess the efficacy of lipid-protein-sugar particles (LPSPs) in providing prolonged duration local anesthesia by percutaneous injection. METHODS:Bupivacaine-containing LPSPs were characterized and optimized in vitro. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given sciatic nerve blocks with bupivacaine-containing LPSPs. Sensory and motor nerve blockade were measured in the hindpaw, as were contralateral functional deficits (a measure of systemic drug distribution). Poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) microspheres were used as a reference. RESULTS:10% (w/w) bupivacaine LPSPs (60% dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine) were 4.4+/-0.39 microm in diameter, with a tap density of 0.11 +/-0.04 g/ml. These LPSPs and 50% (w/w) PLGA microspheres had comparable durations of sensory blockade (468+/-210 min vs. 706+/-344 min, p = 0.08), although the LPSPs produced a much lesser duration of motor blockade (508+/-258 min vs. 1062+/-456 min, p = 0.005). Systemic toxicity was minimal in both groups. CONCLUSIONS:LPSPs provide sensory blockade durations comparable to those from PLGA microspheres, with a smaller amount of drug loading. Motor blockade is shorter with LPSPs than with PLGA microspheres. LPSPs appear to be suitable for extended nerve blockade. Given their size and low density, they may be useful for topical anesthesia of the airway.
