Response Surface Methodology (RSM) Powered Formulation Development, Optimization and Evaluation of Thiolated Based Mucoadhesive Nanocrystals for Local Delivery of Simvastatin

In oral administration systems, mucoadhesive polymers are crucial for drug localization and target-specific activities. The current work focuses on the application of thiolated xanthan gum (TXG) to develop and characterize a novel mucoadhesive nanocrystal (NC) system of simvastatin (SIM). Preparatio...

description In oral administration systems, mucoadhesive polymers are crucial for drug localization and target-specific activities. The current work focuses on the application of thiolated xanthan gum (TXG) to develop and characterize a novel mucoadhesive nanocrystal (NC) system of simvastatin (SIM). Preparation of SIM-NC was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) coupled with statistical applications. The concentration of Pluronic F-127 and vacuum pressure were optimized by central composite design. Based on this desirable approach, the prerequisites of the optimum formulation can be achieved by a formulation having 92.568 mg of F-127 and 77.85 mbar vacuum pressure to result in EE of 88.8747% and PS of 0.137.835 nm. An optimized formulation was prepared with the above conditions along with xanthan gum (XG) and TXG and various parameters were evaluated. A formulation containing TXG showed 98.25% of SIM at the end of 96 h. Regarding the mucoadhesion potential evaluated by measuring zeta potential, TXG-SIM-NC shoed the maximum zeta potential of 16,455.8 ± 869 mV at the end of 6 h. The cell viability percentage of TXG-SIM-NC (52.54 ± 3.4% with concentration of 50 µg/mL) was less than the plain SIM, with XG-SIM-NC showing the highest cytotoxicity on HSC-3 cells. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies confirm the enhanced bioavailability of formulated mucoadhesive systems of SIM-NC, with TXG-SIM-NC exhibiting the maximum.
