Effect of Process Factors on the Properties of Doxycycline Nanovesicles

چکیده
Purpose: To develop and evaluation ascorbyl palmitate niosomes in order to achieve a transdermal and/or systemic nanocarier of doxycycline. Methods: Vesicles were formed from ascorbyl palmitate in combination with cholesterol and a negatively charged lipid, dicetyl phosphate. Niosomes were prepared by film hydration method followed by sonication in which aqueous doxycycline solution (in phosphate buffered saline) was encapsulated in the aqueous regions of the vesicles. The vesicles were evaluated for entrapment and in vitro release as well as for their thermal properties and shape by ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The effect of process conditions sonication time, pH, hydration temperature and centrifuge speed on niosome properties was investigated. Results: DSC of pure lipids, vesicles dispersion and mixture of lipids confirmed the formation of niosomes. Other results show that > 90 % of drug was entrapped in the vesicles and the vesicles were spherical in shape. Drug release from the vesicles was slow (< 60 % after 8 h). Nanovesicle size was significantly (p < 0.05) affected by sonication time and hydration pH. Although hydration temperature of 100 °C promoted the production of smaller vesicles, this temperature would likely cause drug degradation. Conclusion: The use of ascorbyl palmitate along with cholesterol and a charge inducer (dicetyl phosphate) yielded vesicles that satisfactorily encapsulated doxycycline solution. The resulting system can be applied for the formulation of doxycycline niosomes.

Acetaminophen (APAP) toxicity threatens human health due to increased mortality associated with its overdose. Doxycycline (DC) because of its properties such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory can be a good therapeutic strategy to treat the acute toxicity induced by APAP. Male mice were divided to six groups in two periods of 3 and 24-h as normal saline, APAP 400 mg/kg, DC 100 mg/kg and group...
