Emulsion-Based Gel Loaded with Ibuprofen and Its Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vehicle and chemical modifications of the structure of active compounds on the skin permeation and accumulation of ibuprofen (IBU). As a result, semi-solid formulations in the form of an emulsion-based gel loaded with ibuprofen and its derivatives, such as sodium ibuprofenate (IBUNa) and L-phenylalanine ethyl ester ibuprofenate ([PheOEt][IBU]), were developed. The properties of the obtained formulations were examined, including density, refractive index, viscosity, and particle size distribution. The parameters of release and permeability through the pig skin of the active substances contained in the obtained semi-solid formulations were determined. The results indicate that an emulsion-based gel enhanced the skin penetration of IBU and its derivatives compared to two commercial preparations in the form of a gel and a cream. The average cumulative mass of IBU after a 24 h permeation test from an emulsion-based gel formulation through human skin was 1.6-4.0 times higher than for the commercial products. Ibuprofen derivatives were evaluated as chemical penetration enhancers. After 24 h of penetration, the cumulative mass was 1086.6 ± 245.8 for IBUNa and 948.6 ± 87.5 µg IBU/cm² for [PheOEt][IBU], respectively. This study demonstrates the perspective of the transdermal emulsion-based gel vehicle in conjunction with the modification of the drug as a potentially faster drug delivery system.

Project description:Low-molecular-mass gelators (LMMGs) as stabilizers for gel emulsions offer numerous advantages, such as low usage, functionalizability, and insensitivity to phase ratio. Using LMMGs as stabilizers is one of the effective strategies for preparing gel emulsions. Currently, developing LMMGs and stable gel emulsion systems in a rapid and convenient manner remains a challenge. To cope with the challenge, this study aims to develop a simple and efficient gel emulsion preparation method based on LMMGs. In this study, a cholesterol-based star-shaped derivative (CSD) was designed and synthesized as an LMMG. Based on gelation experiments, a high internal phase W/O gel emulsion system (H2O/CSD-poly(oligo)-dimethylsiloxane/dichloromethane) was successfully developed and stabilized synergistically by the stabilizer (CSD) and the crosslinker (poly(oligo)-dimethylsiloxane with two olefinic bonds at its ends, D-PDMS). The results demonstrate that the synergistic interaction between CSD and D-PDMS is critical for the formation of the gel emulsion. Building on the original gel emulsion system, two novel in situ polymerizable gel emulsion systems (H2O/CSD-D-PDMS/dichloromethane-tert-butyl methacrylate and H2O/CSD-D-PDMS/dichloromethane-N-tert-butyl methacrylamide) were successfully developed by introducing suitable amphiphilic (hydrophilic/lipophilic) polymerizable monomers. This study found that changes in the amphiphilicity of the introduced monomers significantly affected the stability and microscopic morphology of the gel emulsion system. The findings indicate that constructing a hydrophilic/lipophilic balanced system via the synergistic action of stabilizers and crosslinkers in a solvent system, followed by the introduction of polymerizable monomers, is a simple and efficient method for rapidly developing novel polymerizable gel emulsions. These new polymerizable gel emulsions lay the foundation for the subsequent preparation of porous organic polymers (POPs).
