Enhanced the treatment of ischemic stroke through intranasal temperature-sensitive hydrogels of edaravone and borneol inclusion complex
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICS(2024)
Abstract
Since ischemic stroke occurs by a combination of multiple mechanisms, therapies that modulate multiple mechanisms are required for its treatment. The combination of edaravone (EDA) and borneol can significantly ameliorate the symptoms of neurological deficits in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model in rats. In this study, the solubility of borneol and edaravone was improved by hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin and PEG400. Furthermore, a nasal temperature-sensitive hydrogel containing both edaravone and borneol inclusion complex (EDA-BP TSGS) was developed to overcome the obstacles of ischemic stroke treatment including the obstruction of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the unavailability and untimely of intravenous injection. The effectiveness of the thermosensitive hydrogel was investigated in transient middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion model rats (MCAO/R). The results showed that EDA-BP TSGS could significantly alleviate the symptoms of neurological deficits and decrease the cerebral infarct area and the degree of brain damage. In summary, nasal EDA-BP TSGS is a secure and effective brain-targeting formulation that may provide a viable option for the clinical prophylaxis and treatment of ischemic stroke.
