The major goal of this project was to formulate iodine-based self nano-emulsifying drug delivery system to provide improve antimicrobial activity and enhanced mucosal residence time via mucus penetration. Iodine SNEDDS (Self nano-emulsifying drug delivery system) with different concentration were formulated using castor oil as the oil phase, cremophor ethoxylated (CrEL) as a surfactant and after screening a number of vehicles, PEG 400 was employed as co-surfactant. Self-emulsification time, thermodynamic stability tests, robustness to dilution, percent transmittance, droplet size, and drug release were measured. Ternary phase diagrams were plotted to determine the area of emulsification. When compared to the commercial formulation, dissolving experiments revealed that the iodine from the SNEDDS enhanced aqueous solubility. In-vitro iodine release was determined to be around 15% per hour, with muco-adhesive and, muco-penetrating characteristics showing a 38-fold improvement. Furthermore, SNEDDS demonstrated significant antibacterial efficacy against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Similarly, when compared to marketed drugs, in-vitro drug absorption profile from the manufactured SNEDDS shown to be much higher. According to these results iodine containing SNEDDS could be a useful new formulation for iodine mucosal usage. |
