Intravitreal kinetics of hesperidin, hesperetin, and hesperidin G: effect of dose and physicochemical properties.

ABSTRACT: Hesperidin, a flavanone glycoside, and its aglycone hesperetin are potential candidates for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy and macular edema. The objective of this study was to delineate vitreal pharmacokinetics of hesperidin and hesperetin and the hydrophilic derivative glucosyl hesperidin (hesperidin G) following intravitreal administration in anaesthetized rabbits. Concentration changes in vitreous humor were monitored using microdialysis sampling procedure. All three molecules were administered intravitreally at three dose levels (50 µL injection volume containing 1.5, 4.5, and 15 µg of the drug, resulting in a final vitreal concentration of 1, 3, and 10 µg/mL). Vitreal microdialysis samples were collected every 20 min over a period of 10 h. All three molecules exhibited linear pharmacokinetics within the dose range tested because area under the curve and maximum concentration (C(max) ) increased linearly with increasing dose and a significant difference in the elimination parameters such as clearance or half-life was not observed. The vitreal elimination half-life of these three compounds was observed to correlate with the molecular weight and lipophilicity of the molecules. The findings from this study provide practical information that will be useful in the future design of ocular drug delivery strategies for bioflavonoids.

Project description:In-situ forming implants (ISFIs) represent a simple, tunable, and biodegradable polymer-based platform for long-acting drug delivery. However, drugs with different physicochemical properties and physical states in the polymer-solvent system exhibit different drug release kinetics. Although a few limited studies have been performed attempting to elucidate these effects, a large, systematic study has not been performed until now. The purpose of this study was to characterize the in vitro drug release of 12 different small molecule drugs with differing logP and pKa values from ISFIs. Drug release was compared with polymer degradation as measured by lactic acid (LA) release and change in poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) molecular weight (MW) measured by size exclusion chromatography with multi-angle laser light scattering (SEC-MALS). Drug physical state and morphology were also measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Together, these results demonstrated that hydrophilic drugs have higher burst release at 24 h (22.8-68.4%) and complete drug release within 60 days, while hydrophobic drugs have lower burst release at 24 h (1.8-18.9%) and can sustain drug release over 60-285 days. Overall, drug logP and drug physical state in the polymer-solvent system are the most important factors when predicting the drug release rate in an ISFI for small-molecule drugs. Hydrophilic drugs exhibit high initial burst and less sustained release due to their miscibility with the aqueous phase, while hydrophobic drugs have lower initial burst and more sustained release due to their affinity for the hydrophobic PLGA. Additionally, while hydrophilic drugs seem to accelerate the degradation of PLGA, hydrophobic drugs on the other hand seem to slow down the PLGA degradation process compared with placebo ISFIs. Furthermore, drugs that were in a crystalline state within the ISFI drugs exhibited more sustained release compared with amorphous drugs.

Project description:We investigated the influence of anion type (salicylate, [(MOB)MIm][Sal], vs chloride, [(MOB)MIm][Cl]) of imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL) and its content on the curing kinetics of bisphenol A diglicydyl ether (DGEBA of molecular weight M n = 340 g/mol). Further physicochemical properties (i.e., glass transition temperature, T g, and conductivity, σdc) of produced polymers were investigated. The polymerization of the studied systems was examined at various molar ratios (1:1, 10:1, and 20:1) at different reaction temperatures (T reaction = 353-383 K) by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Interestingly, both DGEBA/IL compositions studied herein revealed significantly different reaction kinetics and yielded materials of completely distinct physical properties. Surprisingly, in contrast to [(MOB)MIm][Cl], for the low concentration of [(MOB)MIm][Sal] in the reaction mixture, an additional step in the kinetic curves, likely due to the combined enhanced initiation activity of anion (salicylate)-cation (imidazolium-based), was noted. To thoroughly analyze the kinetics of all studied systems, including the two-step kinetics of DGEBA/[(MOB)MIm][Sal], we applied a new approach that relies on the combination of the two phenomenological Avrami equations. Analysis of the determined constant rates revealed that the reaction occurring in the presence of the salicylate anion is characterized by higher activation energy with respect to those with the chloride. Moreover, DGEBA/[(MOB)MIm][Sal] cured materials have higher T g in comparison to DGEBA polymerized with [(MOB)MIm][Cl] independent of the IL concentration. This fact might indicate that, most likely, the products of hardening are highly cross-linked (high T g) or oligomeric linear polymers (low T g) in the former and latter cases, respectively. Such a change in the chemical structure of the polymer is also reflected in the dc conductivity measured at the glass transition temperature, which is much higher for DGEBA cured with [(MOB)MIm][Cl]. Herein, we have clearly demonstrated that the type of anion has a crucial impact on the polymerization mechanism, kinetics, and properties of produced materials.
