In Vivo Performance of Fenofibrate Formulated With Ordered Mesoporous Silica Versus 2-Marketed Formulations: A Comparative Bioavailability Study in Beagle Dogs

Abstract: The present study aims to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo performance of ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) as a carrier for the poorly water-soluble compound fenofibrate. Fenofibrate was loaded into OMS via incipient wetness impregnation to obtain a 29% drug load and formulated into capsules. Two capsule dosage forms (containing 33.5 and 16.75 mg fenofibrate, respectively) were compared with the commercially available forms-Lipanthyl(®) (fenofibrate microcrystals) and Tricor(®) (fenofibrate nanocrystals). In v… Show more

“…FNB is virtually insoluble in water and physiological fluids. 28 We utilized the mesoporous structure of MSn to increase the dissolution rate of FNB, and through in vitro drug release and in vivo pharmacokinetic study we verified that MSn was suitable as a carrier for the oral administration of poorly soluble drugs.…”

“…A study wherein the potential of ordered mesoporous silica nanoparticles (OMS) in enhancing the bioavailability of fenofibrate in man was conducted by Bukara and collaborators which can be considered as another breakthrough step acting as a trigger in evoking interest among the researchers for the use of MSNs for biomedical applications. Promising results obtained by them in their preclinical studies [ 274 ] prompted them to complement those results with clinical studies. Fenofibrate was loaded into OMS and these were subsequently enclosed within capsules.…”

“…In particular, MCM-41 exhibits a hexagonal structure, with the pore width ranging between~1.5 and 10 nm, depending on the synthesis parameters [9][10][11][12]. MCM-41 has been shown to be able to stabilize drugs in the amorphous form without recrystallization for a significantly long period of time [13,14]. It has been widely studied as a carrier for drug delivery applications, either as synthesized [15][16][17], or following post-synthetic modification [18][19][20][21].…”
