P-gp inhibition and enhanced oral bioavailability of amikacin Sulfate: A novel approach using Thiolated Chito-PEGylated Lipidic Hybrids.
International Journal of Pharmaceutics 2024 May 5
This study aimed to develop oral lipidic hybrids of amikacin sulfate (AMK), incorporating thiolated chitosan as a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor to enhance intestinal absorptivity and bioavailability. Three formulations were designed: PEGylated Liposomes, Chitosan-functionalized PEGylated (Chito-PEGylated) Lipidic Hybrids, and Thiolated Chito-PEGylated Lipidic Hybrids. The physical characteristics of nanovesicles were assessed. Ex-vivo permeation and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) studies were conducted to evaluate the formulations' potential to enhance AMK intestinal permeability. In-vivo pharmacokinetic studies in rats and histological/biochemical investigations assessed the safety profile and oral bioavailability. The AMK-loaded Thiolated Chito-PEGylated Lipidic Hybrids exhibited favorable physical characteristics, higher ex-vivo permeation parameters, and verified P-gp inhibition via CLSM. They demonstrated heightened oral bioavailability (68.62% absolute bioavailability) and a sufficient safety profile. Relative bioavailability was significantly higher (1556.3% and 448.79%) compared to PEGylated Liposomes and Chito-PEGylated Lipidic Hybrids, respectively, indicating remarkable oral AMK delivery with fewer doses, reduced side effects, and enhanced patient compliance.
