Abstract

The objective of this study was to develop an in-situ gel containing lorazepam (LZM) loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) for direct nose-to-brain delivery in order to increase drug therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of epilepsy. Accordingly, LZM loaded NLCs were formulated using emulsification solvent diffusion and evaporation method; then the effects of the formulation variables on different physicochemical characteristics of NLCs were investigated. Thermosensitive in-situ gels containing LZM-NLCs were prepared using a combination of chitosan and β-glycerol phosphate (β-GP). The anticonvulsant efficacy of LZM-NLCs-Gel was then examined using the pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) model. The optimised NLCs were spherical, showing the particle size of 71.70 ± 5.16 nm and the zeta potential of -20.06 ± 2.70 mV. The pH and gelation time for the chitosan solution with 15% (w/v) β-GP were determined to be 7.12 ± 0.03 and 5.33 ± 0.58 min, respectively. The in-vivo findings showed that compared with the control group and the group that received LZM-Gel, the occurrence of PTZ-induced seizures in the rats was significantly reduced by LZM-NLCs-Gel after intranasal administration. These results, therefore, suggested that the LZM-NLCs-Gel system could have potential applications for brain targeting through nasal route and might increase LZM therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of epilepsy. © 2019 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.
