Formulation and characterization of intranasal mucoadhesive nanoparticulates and thermo-reversible gel of levodopa for brain delivery

Abstract: Levodopa is the drug of choice in the treatment of Parkinson's disease but it exhibits low oral bioavailability (30%) and very low brain uptake due to its extensive metabolism by aromatic amino acid decarboxylase in the peripheral circulation. Hence, levodopa is co-administered with carbidopa, a peripheral amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor. In an attempt to improve brain uptake and to avoid degradation of levodopa in peripheral circulation and the use of carbidopa in combination, nose to brain drug delivery o… Show more

“…Sharma et al [21] developed a system with L-DOPA encapsulated in chitosan NP (LP-Cs-NP) and incorporated in a thermo-reversible Pluronic F127 gel for intranasal delivery. Polycation was used due to its mucoadhesive properties in addition to its ability to improve drug absorption on nasal mucosa by opening transiently tight junctions between epithelial cells and delaying mucociliary clearance.…”

“…26,31 Ancak, L-Dopa %30 gibi düşük bir oral biyoyararlanıma sahiptir ve KBB'yi geçebilse bile periferik bölgelerdeki aromatik aminoasit dekarboksilaz enzimi tarafından degrade olmaktadır. 26,31 Bu durum hastalara hedef doku için gerekenden daha yüksek dozda ilaç yüklenmesine neden olmakta, ayrıca hasta olmayan periferik dokular da L-Dopa ve dopaminin etkilerine maruz kalmaktadır. Karbidopa, L-Dopa'nın periferdeki kullanımını azaltmak ve beyne ulaşan miktarını arttırmak için kullanılmaktadır, fakat tamamen başarıya ulaşılamamaktadır.…”

“…L-Dopa kullanımını kısıtlayan en önemli yan etkilerden biri de L-Dopa'nın uzun süreli tedavilerinde ortaya çıkan istemsiz hareketler (diskineziler)'dir. 31 L-Dopa ile tedaviye başladıktan kısa süre sonra (üç ile beş yıl) diskinezi ve on/off fenomenini içeren motor dalgalanmaların görülmesi etken maddenin etkinliğini sınırlandırmıştır. 8,29,32 Kısa etki süresine sahip konvansiyonel preparatların aksine, reseptörlerin sü-rekli bir şekilde uyarılmasını sağlayan kontrollü salım sistemleri, L-Dopa kaynaklı diskinezilerin azaltılması açısından etkin bir yöntem olarak düşü-nülebilmektedir.…”

“…Dissolution was carried out at 37°C with phosphate buffer pH 6.8 with 5% ethanol to maintain sink condition as dissolution media. 5mL of sample was collected at different intervals of time (0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5h) and at the same time media was replenished with the same volume of fresh release media (Sharma, Lohan et al 2014).…”
