“…The surfactants - Brij 58 ® and Tween 80 ® - were selected for this study based on their non-ionic nature, high HLB values and low critical micelle concentrations (CMC) (Helenius and Simons, 1975). In general, surfactants act by causing disaggregation of lipids in the biological membrane leading to loosening of membrane barrier structure and ultimately causing an increase in the permeation of the compounds (Buyukozturk et al, 2009). Based on a general understanding of enhancer mechanisms, it is very difficult to provide a rationale for the enhancement of a given permeant using a specific enhancer (Williams and Barry, 2004).…”

The objective of this pre-formulation study was to systematically investigate the effects of two surfactants (Brij 58® and Tween 80®) and change in solution pH on in vitro permeation of naltrexone HCl (NTX-HCl) across tissue engineered human buccal mucosa. For the study, 10 mg/mL solutions of Tween 80® (0.1 and 1 % w/v) and Brij 58® (1 % w/v) were prepared in standard artificial saliva buffer solution (pH 6.8). For studying pH effects, solution pH was adjusted to either 7.5 or 8.2. As controls, three concentrations of NTX-HCl (2.5, 10 and 25 mg/mL) were prepared. Using NTX standard solution (10mg/ml; pH 6.8), the permeation was observed between in vitro human and ex vivo porcine mucosa. It was observed that Brij 58® increased the permeation rates of NTX significantly. The flux of 10mg/ml solution (pH 6.8) increased from 1.9 ± 0.6 (×102) to 13.9 ± 2.2 (×102) μg/cm2/h (approximately 6 fold) in presence of 1% Brij 58®. Increasing pH of NTX-HCl solution was found to increase the drug flux from 1.9 ± 0.6 (×102) (pH 6.8) to 3.0 ± 0.6 (×102) (pH 7.4) and 8.0 ± 3.5 (×102) (pH 8.2) μg/cm2/h respectively. Histological analyses exhibited no tissue damage due to exposure of buccal tissue to Brij 58®. The mean permeability coefficients (Kp) for 2.5, 10 and 25 mg/mL solutions of NTX-HCl (pH 6.8) were 5.0 (×10−2), 1.8 (×10−2) and 3.2 (×10−2) cm/h respectively, consistent with data from published literature sources. Increase of NTX flux observed with 1% Brij 58® solution may be due to the effects of ATP. Increase in flux and the shortening of lag time observed by increasing in solution pH confirmed earlier finding that distribution coefficient (log D) of NTX is significantly affected by small increments in pH value and therefore plays an important role in NTX permeation by allowing faster diffusion across tissue engineered human buccal membranes.
