Polymer Microneedles for Controlled-Release Drug Delivery 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Purpose As an alternative to hypodermic injection or implantation of controlled-release systems, this study designed and evaluated
biodegradable polymer microneedles that encapsulate drug for controlled release in skin and are suitable for self-administration
by patients.
Methods Arrays of microneedles were fabricated out of poly-lactide-co-glycolide using a mold-based technique to encapsulate model drugs—calcein and bovine serum albumin (BSA)—either as a single
encapsulation within the needle matrix or as a double encapsulation, by first encapsulating the drug within carboxymethylcellulose
or poly-l-lactide microparticles and then encapsulating drug-loaded microparticles within needles.
Results By measuring failure force over a range of conditions, poly-lactide-co-glycolide microneedles were shown to exhibit sufficient mechanical strength to insert into human skin. Microneedles were
also shown to encapsulate drug at mass fractions up to 10% and to release encapsulated compounds within human cadaver skin.
In vitro release of calcein and BSA from three different encapsulation formulations was measured over time and was shown to be controlled
by the encapsulation method to achieve release kinetics ranging from hours to months. Release was modeled using the Higuchi
equation with good agreement (r2 ≥ 0.90). After microneedle fabrication at elevated temperature, up to 90% of encapsulated BSA remained in its native state,
as determined by measuring effects on primary, secondary, and tertiary protein structure.
Conclusions Biodegradable polymer microneedles can encapsulate drug to provide controlled-release delivery in skin for hours to months. 相似文献

Purpose To characterize solid maltose microneedles and assess their ability to increase transdermal drug delivery.
Materials and Methods Microneedles and microchannels were characterized using methylene blue staining and scanning electron microscopy. Diffusion
pattern of calcein was observed using confocal scanning laser microscopy. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measurements were
made to study the skin barrier recovery after treatment. Uniformity in calcein uptake by the pores was characterized and percutaneous
penetration of nicardipine hydrochloride (NH) was studied in vitro and in vivo across hairless rat skin.
Results Microneedles were measured to be 508.46 ± 9.32 μm long with a radius of curvature of 3 μm at the tip. They penetrated the
skin while creating microchannels measuring about 55.42 ± 8.66 μm in diameter. Microchannels were visualized by methylene
blue staining. Pretreatment with microneedles resulted in the migration of calcein into the microchannels. TEWL increased
after pretreatment and uptake of calcein by the pores was uniform as measured by the pore permeability index values. NH in vitro transport across skin increased significantly after pretreatment (flux 7.05 μg/cm2/h) as compared to the untreated skin (flux 1.72 μg/cm2/h) and the enhanced delivery was also demonstrated in vivo in hairless rats.
Conclusion Maltose microneedles were characterized and shown to create microchannels in the skin, which were also characterized and shown
to improve the transdermal delivery of NH. 相似文献

Purpose The aim of the study is to determine the effect of experimental parameters on microinfusion through hollow microneedles into
skin to optimize drug delivery protocols and identify rate-limiting barriers to flow.
Methods Glass microneedles were inserted to a depth of 720–1080 μm into human cadaver skin to microinfuse sulforhodamine solution
at constant pressure. Flow rate was determined as a function of experimental parameters, such as microneedle insertion and
retraction distance, infusion pressure, microneedle tip geometry, presence of hyaluronidase, and time.
Results Single microneedles inserted into skin without retraction were able to infuse sulforhodamine solution into the skin at flow
rates of 15–96 μl/h. Partial retraction of microneedles increased flow rate up to 11.6-fold. Infusion flow rate was also increased
by greater insertion depth, larger infusion pressure, use of a beveled microneedle tip, and the presence of hyaluronidase
such that flow rates ranging from 21 to 1130 μl/h were achieved. These effects can be explained by removing or overcoming
the large flow resistance imposed by dense dermal tissue, compressed during microneedle insertion, which blocks flow from
the needle tip.
Conclusions By partially retracting microneedles after insertion and other methods to overcome flow resistance of dense dermal tissue,
protocols can be designed for hollow microneedles to microinfuse fluid at therapeutically relevant rates. 相似文献

The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is predominant in women and children especially in developing countries. The disorder affects cognitive functions and physical activity. Although oral iron supplementation and parenteral therapy remains the preferred choice of treatment, gastric side effects and risk of iron overload decreases adherence to therapy. Transdermal route is an established approach, which circumvents the side effects associated with conventional therapy. In this project, an attempt was made to investigate the use of rapidly dissolving microneedles loaded with ferric pyrophosphate (FPP) as a potential therapeutic approach for management of IDA. Microneedle array patches were made using the micromolding technique and tested in vitro using rat skin to check the duration required for dissolution/disappearance of needles. The ability of FPP-loaded microneedles to replenish iron was investigated in anemic rats. Rats were fed iron-deficient diet for 5 weeks to induce IDA following which microneedle treatment was initiated. Recovery of rats from anemic state was monitored by measuring hematological and biochemical parameters. Results from in vivo study displayed significant improvements in hemoglobin and serum iron levels after 2-week treatment with FPP-loaded microneedles. The study effectively demonstrated the potential of microneedle-mediated iron replenishment for treatment of IDA. 相似文献

Transdermal Delivery of Insulin Using Microneedles in Vivo 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to design and fabricate arrays of solid microneedles and insert them into the skin of diabetic hairless rats for transdermal delivery of insulin to lower blood glucose level. METHODS: Arrays containing 105 microneedles were laser-cut from stainless steel metal sheets and inserted into the skin of anesthetized hairless rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. During and after microneedle treatment, an insulin solution (100 or 500 U/ml) was placed in contact with the skin for 4 h. Microneedles were removed 10 s, 10 min, or 4 h after initiating transdermal insulin delivery. Blood glucose levels were measured electrochemically every 30 min. Plasma insulin concentration was determined by radioimmunoassay at the end of most experiments. RESULTS: Arrays of microneedles were fabricated and demonstrated to insert fully into hairless rat skin in vivo. Microneedles increased skin permeability to insulin, which rapidly and steadily reduced blood glucose levels to an extent similar to 0.05-0.5 U insulin injected subcutaneously. Plasma insulin concentrations were directly measured to be 0.5-7.4 ng/ml. Higher donor solution insulin concentration, shorter insertion time, and fewer repeated insertions resulted in larger drops in blood glucose level and larger plasma insulin concentrations. CONCLUSIONS: Solid metal microneedles are capable of increasing transdermal insulin delivery and lowering blood glucose levels by as much as 80% in diabetic hairless rats in vivo. 相似文献

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Transdermal drug delivery is the movement of drugs across the skin for absorption into the systemic circulation. Transfer of the drug can occur via passive or active means; passive transdermal products do not disrupt the stratum corneum to facilitate delivery whereas active technologies do. Due to the very specific physicochemical properties necessary for successful passive transdermal drug delivery, this sector of the pharmaceutical industry is relatively small. There are many well-documented benefits of this delivery route however, and as a result there is great interest in increasing the number of therapeutic substances that can be delivered transdermally.Areas Covered: This review discusses the various transdermal products that are currently/have been marketed, and the paths that led to their success, or lack of. Both passive and active transdermal technologies are considered with the advantages and limitations of each highlighted. In addition to marketed products, technologies that are in the investigative stages by various pharmaceutical companies are reviewed.Expert Opinion: Passive transdermal drug delivery has made limited progress in recent years, however with the ongoing intense research into active technologies, there is great potential for growth within the transdermal delivery market. A number of active technologies have already been translated into marketed products, with other platforms including microneedles, rapidly progressing towards commercialisation. 相似文献

Purpose. The purpose of the study was to investigate the potential of pectin, ethylcellulose combinations as a practical film coating for colonic delivery.
Methods. Combinations of pectin and ethylcellulose, in the form of an aqueous dispersion, were used as coating formulations. Paracetamol cores were used as the substrate. The coatings were assessed by a flow through dissolution system simulating in vivo conditions by changes in pH and residence time. Pectinolytic enzymes were used to simulate the bacterial flora of the colon.
Results. Drug release was controlled by the ratio of ethylcellulose to pectin in the film coat. Increasing the proportion of ethylcellulose and increasing the coat weight reduced drug release in pHl and pH7.4 media. The addition of pectinolytic enzymes to pH6 media increased the release of drug.
Conclusions. Combinations of ethylcellulose and pectin can provide protection to a drug in the upper g.i. tract while allowing enzymatic breakdown and drug release in the colon. 相似文献

The study design is that lipophilic drug was encapsulated within dissolving microneedles (DMNs) for sustained-release delivery over 1 week. Etonogestrel (ENG), the progestogen used in hormonal contraceptives, was loaded in 2-layered DMNs in the form of microcrystal particles (MPs). In vitro release study indicated that ENG in the MP form could sustain drug release compared to noncrystal form. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and polyvinyl alcohol were used to prepare the fast dissolving needle tips and flexible back layer, respectively. The mechanical strength of microneedles was not affected even with the drug-loading efficiency of 50.0% in needle tips. The penetration depth of DMNs in skin, observed using a confocal laser scanning microscope, was approximately 280 μm. The tips of DMNs could be dissolved in rat skin within 1 h with a drug delivery efficiency of 63.8 ± 2.0%. The pharmacokinetic study of DMN treatment in rats showed that the plasma levels of ENG were a dose-dependent profile and were much steadier than intradermal (ID) injections. There was no statistical difference between bioavailability of ENG treated with DMNs or ID injections (p >0.05). Therefore, the novel DMNs loaded with drug MP provided a potential minimally invasive route for ID sustained delivery of lipophilic drug. 相似文献

This study focuses on the in vitro transdermal transport of sumatriptan succinate using combined iontophoresis and dissolving polymeric microneedle arrays. Permeation experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of formulation parameters on drug release from polyvinylpyrrolidone systems under mild electrical current (≤500 μA/cm2). The preparations consisted of hydrophilic, positively charged molecules encapsulated in a water-soluble and biocompatible polymeric material. Current densities of 100, 300, and 500 μA/cm2 were applied during a 6-h period using silver/silver chloride electrodes. The circular array consisted of 600 needles and occupied a 0.785 cm2 area. Tests, carried out with Franz diffusion cells and skin of Göttingen minipigs, showed that small decreases in the polymer concentration led to negligible lag times and marked increases in the cumulative amount of drug permeated in 6 h (Q6h) and in the flux (Jss). At 500 μA/cm2, Q6h and Jss nearly doubled for a microneedle loaded with 5% (w/w) sumatriptan and 20% (w/w) PVP (lag time = 0 min; Q6h = 2888 μg/cm2; Jss = 490 μg/cm2/h) relative to a system loaded with 5% (w/w) drug and 30% (w/w) PVP (lag time = 36 min; Q6h = 1437 μg/cm2; Jss = 266 μg/cm2/h). 相似文献

Purpose Microneedles disrupt the stratum corneum barrier layer of skin creating transient pathways for the enhanced permeation of
therapeutics into viable skin regions without stimulating pain receptors or causing vascular damage. The cutaneous delivery
of nucleic acids has a number of therapeutic applications; most notably genetic vaccination. Unfortunately non-viral gene
expression in skin is generally inefficient and transient. This study investigated the potential for improved delivery of
plasmid DNA (pDNA) in skin by combining the microneedle delivery system with sustained release pDNA hydrogel formulations.
Materials and Methods Microneedles were fabricated by wet etching silicon in potassium hydroxide. Hydrogels based on Carbopol polymers and thermosensitive
PLGA-PEG-PLGA triblock copolymers were prepared. Freshly excised human skin was used to characterise microneedle penetration
(microscopy and skin water loss), gel residence in microchannels, pDNA diffusion and reporter gene (β-galactosidase) expression.
Results Following microneedle treatment, channels of approximately 150–200 μm depth increased trans-epidermal water loss in skin.
pDNA hydrogels were shown to harbour and gradually release pDNA. Following microneedle-assisted delivery of pDNA hydrogels
to human skin expression of the pCMVβ reporter gene was demonstrated in the viable epidermis proximal to microchannels.
Conclusions pDNA hydrogels can be successfully targeted to the viable epidermis to potentially provide sustained gene expression therein. 相似文献

Transdermal delivery has been at the forefront of research addressing the development of non-invasive methods for the systemic administration of peptide and protein therapeutics generated by the biotechnology revolution. Numerous approaches have been suggested for overcoming the skin’s formidable barrier function; whereas certain strategies simply act on the drug formulation or transiently increase the skin permeability, others are designed to bypass or even remove the outermost skin layer. This article reviews the technologies currently under investigation, ranging from those in their early-stage of development, such as laser-assisted delivery to others, where feasibility has already been demonstrated, such as microneedle systems, and finally more mature techniques that have already led to commercialisation (e.g., velocity-based technologies). The principles, mechanisms involved, potential applications, limitations and safety considerations are discussed for each approach, and the most advanced devices in each field are described. 相似文献
