Purpose: The work was performed to investigate the feasibility of preparing ocular inserts loaded with Poly-ε-Caprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles as a sustained ocular delivery system. Methods: First, Atorvastatin Calcium-Poly-ε-Caprolactone (ATC-PCL) nanoparticles were prepared and characterized. Then, the optimized nanoparticles were loaded within inserts formulated with Methylcellulose (MC) and Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) by a solvent casting technique and evaluated physically, for in-vitro drug release profile. Finally, an in-vivo study was performed on the selected formulation to prove non-irritability and sustained ocular anti-inflammatory efficacy compared with free drug-loaded ocuserts. Results: The results revealed (ATC-PCL) nanoparticles prepared with 0.5% pluronic F127 were optimized with 181.72±3.6 nm particle size, 0.12±0.02 (PDI) analysis, -27.4± 0.69 mV zeta potential and 62.41%±4.7% entrapment efficiency. Nanoparticles loaded ocuserts manifested compatibility between drug and formulation polymers. Moreover, formulations complied with average weight 0.055±0.002 to 0.143±0.023 mg, and accepted pH. ATC-PCL nanoparticles loaded inserts prepared by 5% MC showed more sustained, prolonged in-vitro release over 24h. In-vivo study emphasized non-irritability, ocular anti-inflammatory effectiveness represented by smaller lid closure scores, and statistically significant lowering in PMN count after 3h. Conclusion: These findings proposed a possibly simple, new and affordable price technique to prepare promising (ATC-PCL) nanoparticles loaded inserts to achieve sustained release with prolonged antiinflammatory efficacy.
