| dc.description.abstract | Thermosensitive in situ gels are promising formulations for the management of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), since they increase the residence time of lipid-based nanosystems in the nasal cavity, improving drug therapeutic efficacy. The purpose of this study is to prepare thermosensitive in situ gels with anticholinesterase inhibitor (RVG)-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) and nanoemulsions to improve the residence time of the formulations in the nasal cavity. Different concentrations of thermosensitive polymers were added to the RVG-loaded NLC and to the RVG-loaded nanoemulsion to optimize the gelation temperature of the in situ gels; concentrations of 17% (%, w/w) of Kolliphor® P407 and 0.3% (%, w/w) of MethocelTM K4M were selected. The in situ gels of the RVG-loaded NLC and RVG-loaded nanoemulsion had a particle size, PDI, ZP, and pH of, respectively: 141.70 ± 0.40 nm and 146.10 ± 1.73 nm; 0.45 ± 0.00 and 0.43 ± 0.02; −4.06 ± 1.03 mV and −4.09 ± 0.71 mV, 6.60 ± 0.01 and 7.00 ± 0.02. In addition, these in situ gels showed a non-Newtonian plastic behavior, and the texture parameters presented desirable values for nasal administration. From these results, we concluded that the developed in situ gels can be used to improve the treatment of AD through the nose-to-brain route. | pt_PT |
