RESUMO
Data described in this article are related to the research article entitled "Amphotericin B-loaded Eudragit RL100 nanoparticles coated with hyaluronic acid (AMP EUD nanoparticles/HA) for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis" [1]. In this work, we report original data on the statistical experimental design to formulate uncoated AMP EUD nanoparticles, data on the validation of spectrophotometric method to quantify the AMP released from uncoated EUD nanoparticles and coated with HA to obtain the in vitro drug release profiles as well as the drug encapsulation efficiency. In addition, we describe original data on characterization, including diameter size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, FTIR, DSC/TG, and XRD; data on diameter of in vitro inhibition halos of Candida albicans; and on the vaginal burden of infected animals treated with uncoated AMP EUD nanoparticles and AMP EUD nanoparticles/HA. Finally, different histological sections of endocervix collected from treated and untreated animals were inserted into this manuscript.
RESUMO
The present study investigated a novel extended release system of promethazine hydrochloride (PHC) with acrylic polymers Eudragit RL100 and Eudragit S100 in different weight ratios (1:1 and 1: 5), and in combination (0.5+1.5), using freeze-drying and spray-drying techniques. Solid dispersions were characterized by Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD), Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as well as solubility and in vitro dissolution studies in 0.1 N HCl (pH 1.2), double-distilled water and phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). Adsorption tests from drug solution to solid polymers were also performed. A selected solid dispersion system was developed into capsule dosage form and evaluated for in vitro dissolution studies. The progressive disappearance of drug peaks in thermotropic profiles of spray-dried dispersions were related to increasing amount of polymers, while SEM studies suggested homogenous dispersion of drug in polymer. Eudragit RL100 had a greater adsorptive capacity than Eudragit S100, and thus its combination in (0.5+1.5) for S100 and RL 100 exhibited a higher dissolution rate with 97.14 percent drug release for twelve hours. Among different formulations, capsules prepared by combination of acrylic polymers using spray-drying (1:0.5 + 1.5) displayed extended release of drug for twelve hours with 96.87 percent release followed by zero order kinetics (r²= 0.9986).
O presente trabalho compreendeu estudo de um novo sistema de liberação prolongada de cloridrato de prometazina (PHC) com polímeros acrílicos Eudragit RL100 e Eudragit S100 em diferentes proporções em massa (1:1 e 1:5) e em combinação (0,5+1,5), utilizando técnicas de liofilização e de secagem por aspersão As dispersões sólidas foram caracterizadas por espectrofotometria no infravermelho por transformada de Fourier (FT-IR), calorimetria diferencial de varredura (DSC), difratometria de raios X (PXRD), Ressonância Magnética Nuclear (RMN), microscopia eletrônica de varredura (SEM) e, também, por estudos de solubilidade e de dissolução in vitro em HCl 0,1 N (pH 1,2), água bidestilada e tampão fosfato (pH 7,4). Realizaram-se, também, testes de adsorção da solução do fármaco nos polímeros sólidos. Desenvolveu-se sistema de dispersão sólida exclusiva dentro das cápsulas, que foi avaliado por meio de estudos de dissolução in vitro. Relacionou-se o desaparecimento progressivo de picos do fármaco em perfis termotrópicos de dispersões secas por spray à quantidade aumentada de polímero, enquanto os estudos de SEM sugeriram dispersão homogênea do fármaco no polímero. O Eudragit RL100 apresentou maior capacidade de adsorção do que o Eudragit S100 e, dessa forma, a combinação de (0,5+1,5) para S100 e para RL100 mostrou taxa de dissolução maior, com liberação de 94,17 por cento de fármaco em 12 horas. Entre as várias formulações, as cápsulas preparadas pela combinação de polímeros acrílicos utilizando secagem por aspersão (0,5+1,5) apresentou liberação prolongada do fármaco em 12 horas, com 96,78 por cento de liberação, seguindo cinética de ordem zero (r² = 0,9986).
