Abstract [en]
The number of poorly water-soluble drugs acquiring a high lipophilicity (BCS class II) have increased tremendously in the pharmaceutical development pipeline over the past decades. One of the solutions that has been conducted to overcome the low aqueous solubility problem was to co-administer these drugs with lipids or fats as lipid-based formulations (LBF). In vitro lipid digestion assays for drug loaded LBF have been used to predict the behaviour of these drugs in vivo in the GI tract. The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility of using Ultra-Thin Large Area PDMS membrane of (~10 μm) thickness with Rotating Membrane Diffusion Cell (RMDC) for in vitro lipolysis-permeation experiments for Felodipine loaded Lipid-based Formulation. Membrane fabrication was done using Sylgard 184 elastomer kit and spin-coater device to get the ultra-thin membranes of approximately 10 μm thickness. Felodipine loaded LBF (22mg/g Felodipine, LBF type: MC-IIIA) was digested in the RMDC at 100 rpm speed for 60 min at 37°C. 75 μl of Lucifer Yellow (10 mM) was used as a membrane integrity marker and was added to the donor chamber of (225 mL) volume prior to digestion to check for mass transfer through the membrane in the receiver chamber (70 mL). During the digestion phase, the maximum ionised fatty acids was 0.402 mmol at 59.6 min, however, the unionised fatty acids during back titration have reached 0.86 at 61.4 min. Lucifer Yellow mass transfer graphs showed a steady increase in the area under the curve at the time point 20 min, where it reached approximately 75 nmol min cm-2. The experiment needs to be repeated to be able to identify a more rigorously justified leak criterion for LY-PDMS. It should be noted that PDMS-LY partition experiments were planned, so that the partitioning affinity could be determined to predict the flux of Lucifer Yellow through PDMS. This secondary method would provide a priority leak criterion.
