Objective: The objective of the present work was to develop transethosomes loaded with propranolol hydrochloride using Lipoid S100 as phospholipid, and oleic acid as permeation enhancer and evaluate them for prolonged release effect, in-vitro skin permeation, and in-vivo plasma concentration. Methods: Transethosomes loaded with propranolol hydrochloride were prepared by homogenization method. Furthermore, they were characterized by using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), zeta sizer, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) for in-vitro skin permeation. Plasma concentration profile of transethosomal gel was determined using Sprague Dawley rats and compared with a marketed oral tablet of propranolol hydrochloride. Results: Developed transethosomes loaded with propranolol hydrochloride showed acceptable size (182.7 ± 5.4 nm), high drug entrapment (81.98 ± 2.9%) and good colloidal characteristics [polydispersity index (PDI) = 0.234 ± 0.039, zeta potential = -21.91 ± 0.65 mV]. Transethosomes showed prolonged in-vitro release of propranolol hydrochloride for 24 h. Results of in-vitro skin permeation studies of transethosomal gel showed 74.34 ± 2.33% permeation of propranolol hydrochloride after 24 h and confocal microscopy revealed accumulation of transethosomes in the stratum basale layer of the skin. Transethosomal gel was capable to prolong the in-vivo release of propranolol hydrochloride upto 24 h. The value of peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of propranolol hydrochloride was found to be 93.8 ± 3.6 ng/mL which was very high compared to the marketed oral tablet of propranolol hydrochloride (45.6 ± 3.1 ng/mL). Conclusion: The results suggested that transethosomal gel of propranolol hydrochloride could be a better alternative to oral propranolol hydrochloride as it can avoid various disadvantages of oral propranolol hydrochloride like high dosing frequency, first pass effect, and organ toxicity.

Abstract Background There are many circumstances where chronic disease is associated with other disorders, especially in diseases such as diabetes with noncommunicable disease risk factors, such as hypertension. The current therapies for treating such chronic comorbid diseases are limited and challenging due to the difficulties in overcoming the side effects from complex therapeutic treatment regimen. The present study is aimed to develop and optimize the combinational nano invasomal gel of Glibenclamide (GLB) and Atenolol (ATN) as a novel combination therapy for comorbid treatment of diabetic hypertensive patients. The developed formulations were characterized for various parameters, including in-vitro skin permeation, skin irritation, in-vivo antidiabetic, and antihypertensive activities. Results OCNIG showed that the % entrapment efficiency of GLB is 96.67 ± 0.65% and % entrapment efficiency of ATN is 93.76 ± 0.89%, flux of GLB (240.43 ± 1.76 μg/cm2/h), and flux of ATN (475.2 ± 1.54 μg/cm2/h) which was found to conform to the expected value. The results indicated desired release and permeation profiles. Optimized formulation showed significant pharmacokinetic properties, which shows improvement in bioavailability by 134.30% and 180.32% respectively for two drugs, when compared to marketed oral preparation. Pharmacodynamic studies showed improved and prolonged management of diabetes and hypertension in Wistar rats, compared to oral and drug-loaded nano invasomes formulations. Conclusion Overall, the results showed that nano invasomal gel was found to be a useful and promising transdermal delivery system for the treatment of concurrent diseases.
