“…This component may have played a role in the degradation of MCP until it was depleted, after which the degradation rate of MCP ceased. A similar conclusion was also made by a team of researchers developing transdermal patches with MCP [ 43 ]. According to Shan-Yang, the molecular structure of MCP has a phenyl ring and various polar functional groups, which can interact with other excipients.…”

The objective of this study was to develop buccal film formulations containing metoclopramide hydrochloride monohydrate (MCP) with and without a backing layer and to evaluate their release properties and physiochemical stability. The crystallization of MCP in the polymer matrix was monitored with image analysis techniques for rapid and scalable observation. The results showed that the addition of a protective layer and its thickness significantly affected the release rate and crystallization behavior of MCP in the formulations. The crystallization of MCP increased over time, and certain formulations showed higher susceptibility to crystallization. To understand the factors affecting the crystallization of MCP, the relationship between the viscosity and pH of the casting solution was examined, but no significant correlation was found. A significant correlation was observed between the plasticizer concentration and the physical state of MCP. Through a systematic Design of Experiment (DOE) approach, an optimal formulation was devised, successfully preventing crystallization of the active ingredient. However, enhancing the overall chemical stability of the formulated product remains a challenge.

“…This thickness variation could be attributed to the nature and concentrations of hydrophilic polymers, i.e., the increase in CMC-Na polymer concentration resulted in an increase in the patch thickness. The thickness data obtained from this study were matched with the specified range of thickness in the literatures review for transdermal patches [ 30 ].…”

This study attempted to develop and evaluate controlled-release matrix-type transdermal patches with different ratios of hydrophilic polymers (sodium carboxymethylcellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) for the local delivery of methotrexate. Transdermal patches were formulated by employing a solvent casting technique using blends of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) polymers as rate-controlling agents. The F1 formulated patch served as the control formulation with a 1:1 polymer concentration. The F9 formulation served as our optimized formulation due to suitable physicochemical properties yielded through the combination of CMC-Na and HPMC (5:1). Drug excipient compatibilities (ATR-FTIR) were performed as a preformulation study. The ATR-FTIR study depicted great compatibility between the drug and the polymers. Physicochemical parameters, kinetic modeling, in vitro drug release, ex vivo drug permeation, skin drug retention, and in vivo studies were also carried out for the formulated patches. The formulated patches exhibited a clear, smooth, elastic nature with good weight uniformity, % moisture uptake, drug content, and thickness. Physicochemical characterization revealed folding endurance ranging from 62 ± 2.21 to 78 ± 1.54, tensile strength from 9.42 ± 0.52 to 12.32 ± 0.72, % swelling index from 37.16 ± 0.17 to 76.24 ± 1.37, and % drug content from 93.57 ± 5.34 to 98.19 ± 1.56. An increase in the concentration of the CMC-Na polymer (F9) resulted in increased drug release from the formulated transdermal patches. Similarly, drug permeation and retention were found to be higher in the F9 formulation compared to the other formulations (F1–F8). A drug retention analysis revealed that the F9 formulation exhibited 13.43% drug retention in the deep layers of the skin compared to other formulations (F1–F8). The stability study indicated that, during the study period of 60 days, no significant changes in the drug content and physical characteristics were found. ATR-FTIR analysis of rabbit skin samples treated with the formulated transdermal patches revealed that hydrophilic polymers mainly affect the skin proteins (ceramide and keratins). A pharmacokinetic profile revealed Cmax was 1.77.38 ng/mL, Tmax was 12 h, and t1/2 was 17.3 ± 2.21. In vivo studies showed that the skin drug retention of F9 was higher compared to the drug solution. These findings reinforce that methotrexate-based patches can possibly be used for the management of psoriasis. This study can reasonably conclude that methotrexate transdermal matrix-type patches with CMC-Na and HPMC polymers at different concentrations effectively sustain drug release with prime permeation profiles and better bioavailability. Therefore, these formulated patches can be employed for the potential management of topical diseases, such as psoriasis.

The present study aimed to prepare methotrexate-loaded transdermal patches with different blends of hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymers (Eudragit S-100 and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) at different concentrations. The polymers employed in transdermal patches formulations served as controlled agent. Transdermal patches were prepared using the solvent casting technique. The suitable physicochemical properties were obtained from the formulation F5 (HPMC and Eudragit S-100 (5:1). Various penetration enhancers were employed in different concentrations to investigate their potential for enhancing the drug permeation profile from optimized formulations. A preformulation study was conducted to investigate drug–excipient compatibilities (ATR-FTIR) and the study showed greater compatibility between drug, polymers and excipients. The prepared patches containing different penetration enhancers at different concentrations were subjected for evaluating different physicochemical parameters and in vitro drug release studies. The obtained data were added to various kinetic models, then formulated patch formulations were investigated for ex vivo permeation studies, in vivo studies and skin drug retention studies. The prepared patches showed elastic, smooth and clear nature with good thickness, drug content, % moisture uptake and weight uniformity. The prepared transdermal patches showed % drug content ranging from 91.43 ± 2.90 to 98.37 ± 0.56, % swelling index from 36.98 ± 0.19 to 75.32 ± 1.21, folding endurance from 61 ± 3.14 to 78 ± 1.54 and tensile strength from 8.54 ± 0.18 to 12.87 ± 0.50. The formulation F5, containing a greater amount of hydrophilic polymers (HPMC), showed increased drug release and permeation and drug retention when compared to other formulated transdermal patch formulations (F1-F9). No significant change was observed during a stability study for a period of 60 days. The rabbit skin samples were subjected to ATR-FTIR studies, which revealed that polymers and penetration enhancers have affected skin proteins (ceramides and keratins). The pharmacokinetic profiling of optimized formulation (F5) as well as formulations with optimized concentrations of penetration enhancers revealed Cmax ranged 167.80 ng/mL to 178.07 ± 2.75 ng/mL, Tmax was 8 h to 10 h, and t1/2 was 15.9 ± 2.11 to 21.49 ± 1.16. From the in vivo studies, it was revealed that the formulation F5-OA-10% exhibited greater skin drug retention as compared to other formulations. These results depicted that prepared methotrexate transdermal patches containing different blends of hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymers along with different penetration enhancers could be safely used for the management of psoriasis. The formulated transdermal patches exhibited sustained release of drug with good permeations and retention profile. Hence, these formulated transdermal patches can effectively be used for the management of psoriasis.
