Tyrosine-based rivastigmine-loaded organogels in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract: Organogels can be prepared by immobilizing an organic phase into a three-dimensional network coming from the self-assembly of a low molecular weight gelator molecule. In this work, an injectable subcutaneous organogel system based on safflower oil and a modified-tyrosine organogelator was evaluated in vivo for the delivery of rivastigmine, an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Different implant formulations were injected and the plasmatic drug concentration was … Show more

“…It is currently marketed as oral solution, capsules, and a transdermal patch. The existing formulations require daily dosing of rivastigmine [4]. However, limitations with its oral therapy include restricted entry into the brain due to its hydrophilicity, necessitating frequent dosing and cholinergic side effects like severe bradycardia, nausea, dyspepsia, vomiting, and anorexia [5, 6].…”

“…Results (Figure 7) indicated that the organogel formulation behaved like a semi-solid drug depot, which could extend the release of drug from 36 h to almost 15 d. Specially, the release of CC from the control oily solution reached almost 87.0% in the first 24 h, which was only 28.2% for CC-loaded organogel. However, there still existed initial burst of drug to some extent, which was a ubiquitous phenomenon for this in situ drug delivery system due to the lag time between the injection of formulation solution and the formation of semi-solid implant (Bastiat et al, 2010). The percent prediction values of Y 24h and Y 15d were 27.6% and 92.9%, respectively, which were 28.2% and 92.4% as actual, suggesting a good prediction ability of the model equation.…”
