Bioavailability of Celecoxib Formulated with Mesoporous Magnesium Carbonate—An In Vivo Evaluation

An attractive approach to increase the aqueous apparent solubility of poorly soluble drugs is to formulate them in their amorphous state. In the present study, celecoxib, a poorly soluble drug, was successfully loaded into mesoporous magnesium carbonate (MMC) in its amorphous state via a solvent eva...

description An attractive approach to increase the aqueous apparent solubility of poorly soluble drugs is to formulate them in their amorphous state. In the present study, celecoxib, a poorly soluble drug, was successfully loaded into mesoporous magnesium carbonate (MMC) in its amorphous state via a solvent evaporation method. Crystallization of celecoxib was suppressed, and no reaction with the carrier was detected. The MMC formulation was evaluated in vitro and in vivo in terms of oral bioavailability. Celebra<sup>®</sup>, a commercially available formulation, was used as a reference. The two celecoxib formulations were orally administrated in male rats (average of <i>n</i> = 6 animals per group), and blood samples for plasma were taken from all animals at different time points after administration. There was no statistical difference (<i>p</i> > 0.05) in AUC<sub>inf</sub> between the two formulations. The results showed that MMC may be a promising drug delivery excipient for increasing the bioavailability of compounds with solubility-limited absorption.
