The objective of the study was to develop and evaluate nanolipid carriers based in situ gel of Carbamazepine, for brain delivery through intranasal route. The non – invasive nasal route can provide rapid delivery of drugs directly to the central nervous system by bypassing the blood brain barrier. The nanolipid carriers of carbamazepine as in situ nasal gel can prolong the drug release for control of repetitive seizures and were prepared by Phase Inversion Temperature technique. The retention of the carriers in the nasal cavity was improved by using Poloxamer 407 as thermoresponsive and Carbopol 974P as mucoadhesive gelling polymers, respectively. The developed gel was evaluated for particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, morphology, entrapment efficiency, mucoadhesive and thermoresponsive behaviour, in vitro drug release, ex vivo permeation and nasociliotoxicity. The gel showed sustained release over prolonged periods and was found to be non-toxic to the sheep nasal mucosa.

The aim of the investigation was to develop and evaluate thermoreversible in situ nasal gel formulations of repaglinide (REP) and to establish correlation between its in vitro release and ex vivo permeation profiles. The solubility of REP was enhanced by preparing solid dispersions (SDs) with hydrophilic carriers (PVP K30/ PEG 6000/ poloxamer 188) in different weight ratios. REP: PVP K30 (1:5) was selected as the optimized SD as it showed highest enhancement in solubility (405%). The optimized SD was characterized by SEM and DSC and incorporated into a blend of thermoreversible and mucoadhesive polymers (poloxamer 407 and carbopol 934 P) by cold technique to form in situ gels (F1-F6). The prepared in-situ gels were evaluated for various pharmacotechnical features and the formulation F3 exhibited least gelling time of 6.1± 0.20, good mucoadhesive property to ensure sufficient residence time at the site of application and a %CDR of 82.25%. The ex vivo permeation characteristics across goat mucosa can be summarized as CDP of 78.7%, flux = 6.80 mg/cm2/h; permeability coefficient of 2.02 mg/h and zero order kinetics. On correlating the CDR profile of F3 with that of its CDP profile, a R2 value of 0.991 (slope= 0.921) was observed. The value of slope approximating one, suggested that almost entire amount of drug released from F3 was capable of permeating across the nasal mucosa, ex-vivo indicating that in-situ nasal gels of REP for systemic action can be successfully developed for the management non-insulin dependent type-II diabetes mellitus.

Tapentadol Hydrochloride is a Tapentadol is a centrally acting analgesic. It has 33% bioavailability due to its first pass effect and hence possesses problems in the development of oral sustained release formulations. Mucoadhesive thermo reversible in-situ nasal gel of Tapentadol HCl was designed and developed to sustain its release due to the increased nasal residence time of the formulation. Poloxamer 407 (PF 127) was selected as it has excellent thermo sensitive gelling properties. HPMCK4M was added to impart mucoadhesive to the formulation, and PEG 400 was used to enhance the drug release. 32 Factorial designs were employed to assess the effect of concentration of HPMCK4M and PEG 400 on the performance of in-situ nasal gel systematically and to optimize the formulation. An optimized in-situ nasal gel was evaluated for appearance, pH, drug content, gelation temperature, mucoadhesive force, viscosity and ex-vivo permeability of drug through nasal mucosa of a goat. Additionally, this formulation was proved to be safe as histopathological studies revealed no deleterious effect on nasal mucosa of a goat after prolonged exposure of 21 days to the optimized formulation. Thus the release of Tapentadol Hydrochloride can be sustained if formulated in an in-situ nasal gel containing poloxamer 407 to achieve its prolonged action.
