الوصف: | The aim of this work is to survey the potential of cubogel as an ocular dosage form to boost the corneal permeability of Dorzolamide Hydrochloride DZ; an antiglaucomal drug. DZ-loaded cubosomal dispersions were prepared according to Box-Behnken design, where the effect of independent variables; Monoolein MO concentration (2.5, 5 and 7.5%w/w), Pluronic® F127 concentration (0.25, 0.5 and 0.75%w/w) and magnetic stirrer speed of (400, 800 and 1200 rpm) was studied on PS (nm), Zp (−mV) and Q 2 h (%) respectively. The prepared formulae were characterized via drug content DC (%), particle size PS (nm), polydispersity index PDI, zeta potential Zp (−mV), in-vitro drug release (Q 2 h%) and finally TEM. The optimized formulation composed of: 6.13% w/w of MO, 0.75% w/w of F127 and prepared at 1200 rpm stirring speed was chosen based on the criteria of minimum PS (nm), maximum Zp (−mV) and minimum Q 2 h (%). Results revealed that the optimum formula showed PS of 153.3 ± 8.4 n, Zp of 32 ± 3 −mV and 37.78 ± 1.3% released after 2 h. Carbopol 934 (1% w/v) as gelling agent was used to prepare the optimum cubogel, which was further evaluated by DSC, ex-vivo permeation and stability studies at 4 °C for three months. Moreover, in vivo studies of the optimized cubogel include; draize test, histological examination, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement. Results revealed that the optimized cubogel was considerably safe, stable and competent to corneal delivery as assured by draize and histological examination. CLSM showed a deeper penetration of more than 2.5-fold. A higher bioavailability (288.24 mg. h/ml) was attained from cubogel compared to the market product Trusopt® eye drops (115.40 mg. h/ml) following IOP measurement. Therefore, DZ-loaded cubogel could be considered as promising delivery system to boost the transcorneal permeation hence corneal bioavailability of DZ as antiglaucomal drug. |
