Supramolecular cyclodextrin-based reservoir as nasal delivery vehicle for rivastigmine to brain
The purpose of this study involved the synthesis of supramolecular reservoir (i.e. cyclodextrin metal-organic framework, MOF) using cyclodextrins as building blocks, followed by cross-linking to obtain crosslinked CD framework (CDF) using CD-MOF as template and functionalized with borneol (BO) to enhance rivastigmine (RIV) permeation and facilitate brain targeting via intranasal administration. Utilizing BO modified CDF (BO-CDF) with cubic shape as a carrier for the encapsulation of RIV, a nasal RIV delivery system (RIV@BO-CDF) was fabricated. The particle size of RIV@BO-CDF was approximately 250 nm, and the drug loading capacity reached 15 ± 2 %. BO-CDF improved the mucoadhesion and enhanced RIV permeability with the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), the brain AUC and the peak drug concentration within brain in rats 1.7, 2.3 and 8 times than that of oral RIV solution, respectively. The relative drug targeting efficiency percentage (DTE, 139.4 %) and direct drug transfer percentage (DTP, 28.3 %) of RIV@BO-COF indicated good targeting efficiency and direct nose-to-brain drug delivery. Overall, this study provides a potential application of supramolecular cyclodextrin-based reservoir to enhance the brain targeting and efficacy of the RIV via nasal delivery.
